Initially I thought it would be interesting to watch some American and Iranian superstars in a joint collaboration, made during the last year of the Shah's reign; just to get an idea where the two countries were striving towards - at least artistically. The result was a disgrace. This movie portrays Iran as the lowest imaginable form of human civilization, making prehistoric caveman feel guilty. Iran' revolution happened the next year; maybe this was the reason. The film's only strong point is its epic soundtrack, but even that's not worth watching 2 hours of exploitation.
