TERROR PEAK (2003) ** So, your career peaked thirty years ago, as Wonder Woman no less. It appears that you've spent the intervening years being that good Samaritan who is the last one at the bar, and orders cabs for those with lesser comsumption thresholds. How can you possibly reclaim the glory? Lynda Carter knows. Now she a volcanologist! Parker Stevenson, once a Hardy Boy, has a similar problem, but not so much of a solution. He appears to have spent the years between slumped on the couch watching infomercials on how to act corporate. Or boring, it takes a shaman to tell the difference! Anyway, the best he can pose for is travel agent. And so it came to pass that they found themselves in the wilds of New Zealand, tempting the mountain and making friends with the Maori. The real danger, perhaps, is Maori piloted helicopters. So, it's a historical statement sort of thing...match not the noble beast with ignoble technology fueled by destruction, go forth instead in purity and inner peace. That will be five dollars, please. Lynda has, if anything, got even worse as an actress. Parker can barely cross a pathetic little bridge, which is no surprise-we always knew that Joe carried the show. The script writers and director get so caught up in the astoundingness of it all that they forget to ever have the volcano actually erupt. Oh well, maybe that will be the sequel.
