MILL CREEK THE SWINGIN’ SEVENTIES: Warhead (1977)

Terrorists blow up a school bus in the Middle East, killing everyone on board except Lt. Liora (Karin Dor) who identifies Palestinian Major Malouf (David Semadar) as the person behind is all this and man, this movie is almost fifty years old and we’re still dealing with this, huh? She has to go back along with a commando named Ben-David (Christopher Stone) and kill Malouf and his men.

U.S. Air Force Colonel Tony Stevens (David Jannsen) is sent to the area to disarm a nuclear bomb that has, you know, just happened to fall out of one of our planes. Malouf now has that bomb and Stevens eventually meets Liora and discovers that the human race is pretty good before everyone dies except him, which is possibly not the kind of lesson that you want to learn.

The only movie directed by John O’Connor, this was written by Buddy Ruskin, the creator of The Mod Squad, joined by Patrick Foulk and Donovan Karnes. Art Metrano shows up, as he does in seemingly every 70s movie I watch, as a soldier.

Don’t have the box set? You can watch this on YouTube.
