UnowPriceless hyped garbage

ShangLuda Admirable film.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Leofwine_draca STONEY is a low rent little thriller that was shot in the Philippines and has a few local faces in the supporting cast, including Vic Diaz. An early cameo from Michael Rennie is utilised to set up the plot, which involves the hunt for some priceless gold at a remote location. Various competing factions then head off to get their hands on it. Chief of these is the female protagonist, Barbara Bouchet, who is reduced to being shown either showering or stripping to her underwear for nearly the entire running time. She's pretty good, actually, a sort of female version of James Bond, but they could have made better use of her than mere window dressing. The film's idea of action is a series of noisy shoot-outs in which various extras come in to be gunned down, but it's not very exciting and all of this only just barely hangs together as a proper movie.

gridoon2018 You know you're in trouble when the DVD cover of a film - which is usually designed, you know, to PROMOTE the film - actually speaks AGAINST it! In this case, it describes "Stoney" as an "international mishmash of espionage", which is pretty accurate, or at least the "mishmash" part is; it's set almost entirely in the Philippines, and none of the leads seem to be professional spies. I say "seem to be" because, to be honest, at no point during this film had I the slightest idea about what was going on. The two or three action scenes consist of random people shooting at other random people; the rest is unengaging talk and some discreet Barbara Bouchet nudity. Bouchet, the only possible draw of the film (another thing that the DVD cover gets right), is beautiful, of course, but she gives a rather poor performance in this one; that said, she is far, far better than anyone else in the film! Very close to completely unwatchable. 0.5 out of 4 stars.

irishardig Since My Husband (Gerald Hardig) happens to be an actor in this movie (He is the hit-man in the opening scenes, with the machine gun mounted on the raft that attacks the gun runners boat), I think this is a TERRIFIC film. I however am trying to find a VHS or DVD tape of it, Because it has gone out of print. But I understand their are many copies floating around in Europe ,Brazil, Mexico, and other places in the world. I believe this might have been pirated several times because of the nudity involving Barbara Bouchet who was also a one time playboy bunny and also appears in the film Casino Royale , among other well known films in the U.S. and Europe. Would love to find a good copy.

GLENN CRESPO Interesting cast, professionals such as Michael Rennie, Richard Jaeckel and Barbara Bouchet, mix them with some locals, Mike Preston, Vic Diaz, Leopoldo Salcedo and some amateurs in a film where you think the "alleged" good guy will come out on top,but doesn't. To put it in a few words....nobody wins.
