All conman Robert (Peter Winter) and gigolo Ches (Chris Nomikos) have
set out to do in Greece is to remain afloat - on someone else's money. But
then they try to have lunch on someone else's tab and are caught
red-handed by Geraldine Steinwetz (Jessica Dublin) and her daughter
Christine (Maria Aliferi). Fortunately though, the two women need help as
someone seems to want to murder Christine. And while Robert and Ches act
all horny most of the time (and do bed ladies every now and again), they
also get into a few chases and shoot-outs when accompanying Christine, but
the girl isn't nearly as helpless as she looks as she does have some
psychic powers that can make things blow up or people suffocate.
Eventually, whoever-it-is tries to lure Robert and Ches into (tender)
traps while assassinating Christine and Geraldine, but Christine's just
too strong an adversary. However, the next morning Christine and Geraldine
take powder, while Robert and Ches are finally captured by whoever-it-is -
to learn a few things about Christine and Geraldine to see them in a whole
new - and very dangerous - light ... Death Has Blue Eyes
pretty much has everything that made Euro-exploitation so irresistible in
the 1970s: Plenty of gorgeous women, many of them topless, fast cars and
motorbikes, plenty of chases and shoot-outs, a plot that never stands in
the way of another action scene, and a narrative approach that's never too
far from comedy/farce, but also some espionage, science fiction and horror
elements, and two heroes who are just too cool for school, 1970s style -
the film seems to really be done almost by the numbers to fit the bill.
And the result isn't exactly a masterpiece, as the script to hold this all
together is a bit too silly - but it's nevertheless tons of fun to watch,
it's really one of these movies where one just can't stop looking against
better knowledge.
