American Mission is your typical crazed slice of all-action spectacle from the one and only Godfrey Ho. The plot makes little sense but this appears to be one of his 'proper' productions rather than a cut-and-paste hack job. The film was produced in Hong Kong but shot in the Philippines by the look of it. A number of Western actors play the members of a hit squad sent to take down a criminal gang, and what follows involves endless shoot-outs, slow motion, and repetitive action. There's not quite as much unintentionally funny material here as in something like NINJA TERMINATOR or SCORPION THUNDERBOLT and at times you wish for the presence of a Richard Harrison or Bruce Baron to make you laugh. Still, you could do worse. It's hardly high art, but then you expect nothing more from Godfrey Ho.

One Of Godfrey Ho Better Films But Still a Z-.

I think what I just watched was two movie's amalgamated into one. The problem is neither of the movies are very good. This one makes little sense, but does have a great time bomb explosion on a beach. The dubbing and story are terrible, but some of the cinematography is pretty good. With so many other better (Z) movies made around the same time I wouldn't waist my time on Soldier Terminators.
Amazingly ridiculous dialogue

The actors all have voices dubbed over, but they speak as if they're all trying to do terrible impersonations of people. Abdul is one of the best characters who shines very bright in this category. His voice seems to be that of a guy straining to pinch a loaf on the toilet.
