Trivia
The original love scene between Bronson and Jan Gan Boyd called for Boyd to be partially nude, but Boyd wasn't confident she could perform the scene and was nervous. Although contracted to be nude, Boyd asked the producers if she could do the scene clothed. They agreed because she had the support of star Bronson, who was adamant she be clothed if she was not comfortable.

Goofs
Presidential inaugurations are in January but footage of the motorcade shows trees in full summer bloom and people in summer clothing.

Indian Joe: Of course I speak English, also Creole, French, Spanish. I'm a native born American Indian, not some half breed immigrant like you all.

6/10

A fun action film.

Let me start by saying that Charles Bronson is one of my favorite actors and I think my mom found this one on VHS at a flea market back in 2015.

This movie is honestly pretty good, it's entertaining if not a little corny in places but I love it anyway.

Charles is a bad ass action hero in these action movies I'm a fan of his Death Wish films I haven't seen him in a lot but I'm planing on trying to find more with him.

I like in this story that he plays a secret service agent hired to protect the First lady who he doesn't really like, that I feel is a nice change of pace, then your typical standard story, it made for some nice levels of comedy.

Overall, I give it a 6/10. It's just a fun action film that you can sit back enjoy, and see

Charles Bronson kick some terrorist ass.

Highly recommended.
