Surprisingly effective and brawny trans-global thriller from the gonzoid producer, Menahem Golan. 'Uranium Conspiracy' is a zippy action-fest fortified by a muscular performance from Fabio Testi, who generally excels at cutting a svelte dash whilst slapping the holy funk outta folk; and the testosterone-fulled Testi gets to dude-slap the moldering Christ out of all manner of sweaty creepo's as the pulp script approaches its breathless, exhilarating climax. A rollicking yarn that not only proves Golan was a competent director but also cements Testi's position as one of the more charismatic rough an' tumble leading men of the 70's; and I genuinely feel a retrospective of his dashing heroics is well overdue. 'Uranium Conspiracy' comes highly recommended and would be a perfect companion piece to a sedentary night in with a robust claret and a boozy clutch of euro-cult obsessives.

Altogether not a bad action thriller if you don't mind wading through all the filler spots including boat, car and foot chases, underwater mining sequences and a meaningless ship search for a supposed murderer. Thirty some plus years ago this would have played like a fantasy with it's plot involving a clandestine business group buying up two hundred tons of yellow cake uranium. Today, who knows? Fabio Testi and Assaf Dayan portray a couple of hunky secret agents on the trail of the deadly cache, taking them to various scenic locales in Europe, among them Amsterdam and Milan. Janet Agren shows up for the first half of the film as a love interest for Testi's Renzo, and if there's a twist moment in the picture it's what happens to her character about midway through. Although we're set up for a grand show with all those explosives planted on the Scheersburg, it comes to naught when the good guys make the save at the last moment. My question is, if the boss handing out assignments to Renzo and Dan (Dayan) wasn't too concerned about blowing up the ship with just Renzo on board, why did it matter if Dan went looking for him - the stakes were the same. Oh, and there's a character named Ulrich in the cast whose real name makes me wonder why he didn't change it for professional reasons. Seriously, you have to look it up.

This is another movie that was just put up on YouTube that I decided to watch. This film, whose English title is The Uranium Conspiracy, is the first time I've watched a Yoram Globus-Menahem Golan production directed by Golan in its entirety. As a spy thriller involving nuclear weapons, this was quite an exciting flick especially during the boat and car chase scenes. Filmed in many European locations and some sea locales, there were many intrigues that got me hooked throughout the picture. Fabio Testi is the Italian agent Renzo who does assignments for Israeli Dan (Assi or Assaf Dayan) for a price. Despite that, they're actually friends. Helga (Janet Agren) is the Swedish woman who works for a German company that makes nuclear weapons. She falls for Renzo. That's all I'll say except this is one exciting movie that I'm glad I watched on YouTube!

Hunky secret agent man Fabio Testi (as Renzo) beds women, hunts uranium, and pals around Venice with handsome hetero partner Assaf Dayan (as Dan). Sexy Janet Agren (as Helga) provides the two with a amorous assignment, which Testi accepts. After bedding down with the quickly undressed damsel, Testi thinks she can offer no leads, but Mr. Dayan suspects otherwise. The best part of "The Uranium Conspiracy" is the lovely location scenery. The film's excitement grows much more exciting in its final act, with the dynamic duo of Testi and Dayan making an action-packed escape from some bad dudes. If that don't float your boat, order pizza, turn on the television, and watch something else. **** Agenten kennen keine Tränen (8/10/78) Menahem Golan ~ Fabio Testi, Assi Dayan, Janet Agren
