Goofs

In the opening scenes, a man climbs a wide expanse of steps, with a large rubbish bin situated at the commencement of the steps. As he reaches the concrete bollards across the top of the steps he turns to face somebody and is stabbed. In the next shot he is rolling down the steps, but someway from the bollards where he stopped and clatters into the rubbish bin which is no longer at the base of the steps. Whilst the man is rolling over, there is no evidence of his having being stabbed, but when a policeman reaches him, there is a long bladed knife protruding from his chest. See more »

Deathly dull
24 February 2015 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Despite the exotic-sounding destination, MOZAMBIQUE turns out to be one deathly dull movie and another lame potboiler from producer Harry Alan Towers. The only thing really interesting about it is that it was actually filmed on location in the country, but sadly the film-makers fail to make use of their locale to add authenticity to the movie. It could just as easily have taken place in London.

The plot sees ageing American hero Steve Cochran off on his holidays when he runs foul of a drug smuggling ring and soon finds himself mixed up in all kinds of spy-style shenanigans. Cochran is uninteresting in the role as are the rest of the no-name cast; the director is more interested in his dancing girls with the likes of Hildegard Knef relegated to eye candy. There are a couple of very average fist fights here but it's all so dull and desperately James Bond style that you just won't care about them or indeed anything in the movie.
