Name: Der Stein des Todes
Genre: Action
Released: 1987-07-02
Duration: 1 h 33 min
Rating: 4.9
Cast: Birte Berg, Serge Falck, Albert Fortell

"Death Stone" has quite a cast: on the male front, a reunion of the two leads of the 1960's Eurospy "Kommissar X" films, Brad Harris and Tony Kendall; on the female front, a "mature" Elke Sommer and a lean, sexy Heather Thomas. But the women don't really have much to do, and for some reason Harris (a - relative - goodie) and Kendall (a baddie) share only one short scene in the entire film! It is a thoroughly routine but still watchable low-grade exotic (shot in Sri Lanka) adventure, with just a hint of the supernatural (the "death stone" of the title, which one character finds on a beach, and which apparently brings a curse on whomever possesses it). There are moments of enjoyable action, but they are few and far between. It's not really worth going out of your way to see, unless of course you have a special interest in the work of any or all of the above cast members. ** out of 4.

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

Kuma Cunningham and Jane Lindström are a couple in love. By chance they find a strange stone. Kuma asks Jane to throw away this stone, the stone would be bad luck.
