The Americans are being kicked out of some unnamed country where they probably don't belong, anyway, and one who doesn't escape in time is a diplomat's daughter named Sarah, who's kidnapped and tortured by a gang of rebels, and joins them like Patty Hearst did with the SLA. The guerrillas teach her to fight and kill real good, but that comes back to haunt them when Sarah joins forces with the good-guy villagers the rebels are out to destroy. Which is way more than you really need to know about this movie's plot. It was made in the Philippines. It's loaded with gun-battle action and many people are killed, but it doesn't add up to much. I could swear that as Sarah and her heroic band of commandos motored away from the pirates after they found the boat with the guns, the pirates were chanting "Hey, Diddle Diddle" at them. over and over. Really. What's up with that?
