This film essentially begins with two secret agents named "Donna" (Dona Speir) and "Taryn" (Hope Marie Carlton) getting an assignment to fly some badly needed medical supplies in their small cargo plane in Hawaii to an isolated island in the South Pacific. Unfortunately, in the process of returning back to Hawaii they encounter a terrible storm and are forced to land on an uncharted and seemingly deserted island hundreds of miles off course. Meanwhile, certain members of a terrorist organization have infiltrated an American military operation which is in the process of locating a large shipment of gold that was stolen from the Philippines by the Japanese during World War 2. And as it so happens, the location of this gold has been tracked to the exact same island that both Donna and Taryn were forced to land their cargo plane during the fierce storm. What nobody realizes, however, is that the island isn't quite as deserted as they initially thought--and the sole occupant is a Japanese soldier who had sworn to guard the gold with his life many years ago. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film pretty much follows the same general pattern as all of the previous movies before it with the main emphasis being given to the sex appeal of the two main characters. So, if the viewer is expecting good acting or a plot with any real depth, then they should probably look elsewhere as this film has neither of these qualities. Again, it pretty much follows the same general pattern as the previous films in the series before it. That being said, although it certainly has its flaws, I don't consider this particular installment to be that bad necessarily and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
