The Uranium Conspiracy (1978)

Fantastic!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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.

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

Hi, Everyone, Fabio Testi as Renzo is a handsome secret agent, more or less. His buddy, Dan, played by Assi Dayan is maybe cuter and cleverer. Helga is the girl who Fabio woos with a stolen salt shaker. She is played by Janet Agren who shows us her upper body endowment in some scenes.Good scenes of the streets and canals of Venice or some other city with streets and canals. The boat chase is much like what we saw in Gator and Swamp Girl. The car chase scenes are done nicely but nowhere nearly as good as Bullitt or The French Connection. The foot chase scenes on rooftops and city streets are well done. The music throughout sucks.Assi Dayan is the son of the famous Israeli General Moshe Dayan. Both Assi Dayan and Fabio Testi are still active in film-making. They both have likable personalities and nice faces with interesting accents. Think of Daffy and Donald Duck with better eyelashes.The story is far more applicable to today's world than it was to the 1970s world of moviegoers. It has a plot that incorporates terrorists seeking nuclear weapons.The bad guys look very bad. If you have ever found yourself annoyed with an organ grinder's music, there is one scene in this film you will enjoy.An old cargo ship becomes a nice setting for target practice late in the movie. The bullets hit everything except the good guys.With the two lead guys being so good looking at that time, the director was somehow not able to insert a scene that had any real sex appeal. Even when Fabio is in bed with a girl it does not become intimate or interesting. The director should have stuck to the acting and plot development and left the nudity and sex scenes for better directors. Blake Edwards could have found much better music. J. Daniel Cadinot could have done the buildup to the nude scenes.Not a bad movie, especially in today's world.Tom Willett
