Mission Subterfuge

Mission Subterfuge (1996)

Subterfuge

Scuba-diver turned beach-bum Jonathan Slade is forced back into his previous milieu - the world of international espionage - in order to retrieve Black Boxes from an American jetliner that crashed under mysterious circumstances into the Black Sea. With his computer-hacker younger brother, Slade travels to a resort on the Russian-Turkish border to begin his quest. To his surprise and dismay, he's now joined by another secret agent, a beautiful but highly-skilled woman named Alex. As they begin diving in search of the downed jetliner, Slade and Alex begin to suspect they're being manipulated by higher-ups who may not be committed to American interests.

Wissenswertes

Subterfuge is a 1996 American action film written and co-produced by Marion Segal, and directed by Herb Freed. It stars Matt McColm as Jonathan Slade, an ex-military man who is given the task to retrieve the black box from a jetliner that crashed into the Black Sea. Supporting cast includes Richard Brake, Jason Gould, and Amanda Pays.

Production

In the 1990s stuntman and martial artist Matt McColm began an acting career. McColm’s black belt in Kenpo Karate and good looks grabbed the attention of Hollywood producers. After starring in Red Scorpion 2 (1994), McColm was offered the leading role in Subterfuge.

Jack Gill, who went on to work with McColm on another low-budget action movie The Protector (1997), served as a second unit director and stunt coordinator. Mohammed Tabatabai choreographed the film's fight scenes. Stock footage for Subterfuge was provided by Cameo Film Library. The original soundtrack was recorded, produced, engineered and mixed by Jim Halfpenny at Tracks Allott Studios, and includes harmonica blues-rock songs.

One of the opening scenes, set in a bar, was arranged in a self-reflexive, metafictional manner: McColm's character turns off television, bored with a genre film, and provides a commentary: "If you've seen one action movie, you've seen 'em all, right?"
