“My review was written in April 1990 after watching the movie on City Lights video cassette.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Contra Conspiracyu0026quot; combines two different premises with occasionally interesting results, suitable for video action fans.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePic is structured in flashback as a young girl tells CIA brass of a massacre at a remote movie set in the desert where her filmmaker father and his unit are attacked by mercenaries training nearby for covert U. S. action.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThough obviously overmatched, the film crew fights back using their special effects expertise to even up the odds.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePic stretches credibility in linking a behind the scenes look at a movie shoot with the gung ho heroics of self-styled Rambo warriors. The heroine also relates several scenes set at the mercenariesu0026#39; camp which she could not have witnesses.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eActing is okay though end credits are absent, leaving roles unidentified. Finale of CIA ordering a coverup is predictable.”
