Both set out to help Patricia Goodwyn (Melody Anderson) find a lost Aztec city and a temple filled with gold. After a few misadventures, their nemesis "El Coyote" (Sonny Landham) comes into view for awhile to make it clear that they are not without serious competition. Barroom brawls and a capture by hostile Native Americans throw roadblocks in their path, but the fearless trio forge onward toward the temple and their destiny. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Vincent Canby, New York Times
When Mr. Norris, the former karate champion, isn't using his feet on ill-tempered Indians and Mexicans, he's stomping on the facetious dialogue, which deserves it more.

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
There are really only two good words to say about this wreck -- Melody Anderson.

Paul Attanasio, Washington Post
Kitsch.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Where to start with this movie? Where to end? Even more to the point, in which order to show the reels?

Norris again fails to find a niche for his limited talent.
