About the film:

Robert Sand, agent of D.R.A.G.O.N. (Defense Reserve Agency Guardian Of Nations), is playing tennis on his vacation with a beautiful girl, when his commanding officers ask him to save a Chinese girl who happens to be Sand’s girlfriend, and the daughter of a top Eastern Ambassador. The ransom for the abduction was the secret for a terrific new weapon – the freeze bomb – but the ‘Warlock’ behind the deed is also into the business of drug dealing and Voodoo ritual murders. The search takes him from Hong Kong to California through Miami, and plenty of action, against bad men, bad girl, and bad animals.

About the filmmaker:

Al Adamson (1929–1995) was an American cult filmmaker known for his prolific work in low-budget exploitation cinema during the 1960s and 1970s. Directing a wide range of genre films, from biker movies and horror to science fiction and martial arts, Adamson built a reputation for energetic, eclectic productions such as Satan’s Sadists and Dracula vs. Frankenstein.

Often working quickly and creatively with limited resources, his films became staples of drive-in theaters and later gained a devoted cult following among fans of grindhouse and exploitation cinema. Adamson’s unusual career and mysterious death later became the subject of documentaries and renewed interest in his distinctive place in genre film history.
