action

Shatter and Jackson are two Chicago police officers who are supposed to solve the gruesome murder of a rabbi. The two are summoned to Israel for interrogation. In Israel they find that they are being persecuted by supernatural beings. It turns out that the demon Prosatanos wants to take control of the world. He had tried this before during the Crusades, but was stopped by King Richard . Prosatanos was then locked in an underground crypt by King Richard. The source of Prosatano's power, a scepter , was cut into nine pieces and distributed to holy places around the world. These pieces remained safe until the end of the 20th century, when two grave robbers accidentally freed Prosatanos from his prison. Prosatanos now wants to collect all nine parts and assemble them into his scepter so that he can achieve world domination . The detectives Shatter and Jackson must fight him together to save the world.

Reviews

"Hellish nonsense from the 90s trash bin."

- Cinema
