Duncan Jax and his faithful companion, Boon are back to take down a group of Nazis living in South America from accomplishing their dubious evil plans, mostly having a functioning laser and unfreezing their cryogenic leader, Ze Furor. Yes that one.

Let\'s get right out there and say that Order of the Black Eagle and Unmasking the Idol are two of the funnest films we\'ve had the pleasure of discussing on this show. They REALLY need to be re-release as a dual pack on Blu-Ray. As much fun as we had with the first one we may have had more fun with the second. These are fantastic.

Ian Hunter is once again dialing up the charm and pizzazz to 50. He\'s not quite as eye-flaring as he was in the first one but he\'s just as goofy and wonderful. Boon has a reduced role but when he\'s there, whoa boy. He\'s epic.

The majority of this film is getting to business. While the last one has a lot more dialogue this one has a lot more action. Both are equally awesome and ridiculous but this one is more packed from start to finish, with emphasis on the finish. Duncan teams up with a team of mercenaries (each with unique skill set and personality) and then things really fly off the handle.

\\n

There\'s a ton of incredibly dangerous stunts again. Lots of bad landings and exploded stuntmen. I can\'t imagine there weren\'t a plethora of injuries after this one.

\\n

This film may have "more" in it than most films. It\'s really got everything (except nudity) but let me just toss a couple spoilers - Hitler cake, Baboon Tank, hovercrafts, missiles, cat-burglarizing, huge guns, deadly poker games, a man-chucking man, dirt-bike hot-dogging, 

\\n

So much fun and so much shenanigans that the Duncan Jax duology should not be missed. We all love these films.
