Three Days To A Kill (1992): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1992, Three Days To A Kill is an action, drama and crime film directed by Fred Williamson, running about 90 minutes. “He's Dangerous He's Destructive and he's dead serious.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. At a Chicago-area naval base, an ambassador is kidnapped. Later, a Navy officer calls his friend Cal for help. A Colombian drug lord is holding the ambassador, and the officer wants Cal to rescue the man. Cal convinces the officer to get a pardon for imprisoned explosives expert Rick, and together Cal and Rick form an uneasy partnership. They travel to meet Yolanda, a stripper who supposedly knows the location of this drug lord, named Perez (who looks like a creation out of Madame Tussaud's). Our threesome then sets about to rescue the ambassador. Cal, Rick, and Yolanda meet resistance at every turn; apparently Perez's men have the drop on them. After multiple shootouts, Cal convinces Yolanda to use her son as a pawn to draw Perez away from his home, and then all hell breaks loose.

Who’s in it. Three Days To A Kill stars Fred Williamson as Cal, Bo Svenson as Rick, Henry Silva as Perez and Van Johnson as Comm. Howard, among others.
