3 Way Split



Robert Vaughn is always cool...
Robert Vaughn known as Napoleon Solo from Man from Uncle is one of the coolest actors
of all time. He was also great in the Protectors TV series. I thought I'd try this out
since it was cheap. It's one of the foreign films american actors always seem to make
at some point back then. It's not the worst movie ever made by far. Too bad the quality
isn't very good or widescreen. I bought the same movie Double Cross on vhs not knowning
it was same but it was really bad quality. don't make the same mistake. The movie is
written and directed pretty good and has good plot. You can see Vaughn over dubbed his
lines it's pretty funny. It's a good bad movie to have if you like Vaughn.

Robert Vaughn got paid in Pesetas!
AKA Blue Jeans and Dynamite, Double Cross, Atraco en la jungla. Robert Vaughn is Tony, an aging jaded stuntman working in Spain, approached by old friend Luis (Simón Andreu) with a scheme to heist a $10 million gold mask from a museum. They are hindered by policemen, girlfriends, and Aztecs.
In 10 word synopsis across the web this film is referred to as an "actioner". It's actually a chase or caper film -- a cash poor Ocean's Eleven. Film has a nice low-budget Euro feel to it, with Andreu funny as a debt-ridden playboy, Katia Christine spunky and attractive as Tony's stunt-girl girlfriend, and Vaughn turning in a cold performance as the self serving Tony. Vaughn, a good actor, sort of laughs and eye rolls his way through this one. He smiles and mugs pretty much without letting us and the other actors in on the joke. He only really comes to life in a scene comparing himself to a great boxer past his prime.
I found "3-Way Split" (or "Double Cross") a lot more enjoyable...

Fun action-packed movie!
This movie has it all. Action, suspense and angry Incas! The twist at the end is just an added bonus! Nothing to be taken seriously but entertaining none the less.
