Project: Kill (1976)

An agent (Leslie Nielsen) of a covert government agency that has been using drugs to enhance the mental and physical performance of its agents realizes that his men are being used as assassins rather than protecting government officials. When he goes rogue and bolts the agency, his second in command (Gary Lockwood) is sent to bring him back alive or else terminate him. Directed by William Girdler (THE MANITOU), this rather silly actioner is one of many low budget U.S. movies shot in the Philippines in the late 1960s and early 1970s utilizing Hollywood actors in the leads and Filipino actors in supporting roles as well as using Filipino crews. There are some karate fights but the violence is minimal. We see the aftermath of several violent killings but not the killing itself. Romance is provided by Nancy Kwan (for Nielsen) and Pamela Parsons (for Lockwood) but they're time fillers rather than important to the plot. With Vic Diaz and Vic Silayan.
