Before watching The Invincible Six, Amy had a nice rant about the superlatives in the titles of these movies. They’re all “Invincible” this and “Undefeatable” that, and really what she wants is to sit down and watch a movie about something more realistic, like The Statistically-Significant Six. That probably would have been a more entertaining movie.
This movie starts with a failed jewel robbery at the Royal Tehran Hilton. The thieves who escape end up getting together with some other assorted criminals, and traversing Iran in a Jeep. On the way, they run across a village that is under assault from bandits in the hills. They attempt to defeat these bandits, for reasons more selfish than altruistic.
Think Ocean’s Eleven crossed with The Magnificent Seven with every drop of entertainment surgically removed from the film. Even noted Iranian beauty Elke Sommer doesn’t really help.
Additionally, my copy of this movie was mastered from (probably) VHS badly. Besides the occasional VCR shimmer, which is acceptable if not ideal, roughly every 90 seconds the film freezes for a few seconds. That one I can’t blame on the filmmakers, and I’m hoping that every movie I bought from [REDACTED] isn’t like that. But this did surpass Attack of the Beast Creatures as the movie with the most timecode breaks when I tried to clip from it. 207!
