The Killer Elite (1975)

“Bloody” Sam Peckinpah took a brief respite from his ultra-violent westerns to lens The Killer Elite (1975), a macho action flick about paid mercenaries who are pitted against one another in mortal combat. Mike Locken (James Caan) and George Hansen (Robert Duvall) begin the film as friends, but a complex double-cross causes the freelance spies to arm themselves for a grisly showdown. Fans of Peckinpah will know that the director usually works in a few minutes of glorious skin time, and this 1975 shoot-’em-up is no exception. In one titillating scene, big-breasted Swede Uschi Digard unbuttons her skimpy blue top to reveal two tons of heaving cleavage.
