The director’s idea was a success.
Soviet viewers loved foreign-made films, so they often became leaders in the box office. A vivid example was the tape of Peter Yates, which in 1981 was watched by more than 37 million people in the USSR.
The audience flocked to the American action movie for a reason. Domestic directors did not please the audience with an abundance of spicy scenes, but their Western colleagues were much bolder in this regard. Zen channel “Positive from the City of the Sun”writes that Yates filled his project with frank episodes, which brought his offspring unprecedented popularity.
Many men admit that they have watched the film more than once only because of Gail Burke, performed by the beautiful Jacqueline Bisset. The actress not only willingly flaunted in a wet bathing suit, but was not afraid to change clothes in front of the camera, thereby demonstrating her charms and forcing the strong half of humanity to cling to the screens.
“Dangerous and breathtaking scenes … But who cares when one of the most desirable actresses of her time is dressing up in front of your eyes?” — noticed one of the fans of the tape on the web.
