ANOTHER STEVE HOLLAND AND EVA LYND MOVIE by Dave Goode






I was rereading my copy of IT'S A MAN'S WORLD by Adam Parfrey this past weekend. And it got me to thinking again of sweat magazine icons Steve Holland and Eva Lynd starring in low-budget action/adventure movies. Fighting Nazis and Commies (both Russian and Cuban). Or on safari in deepest , darkest Africa where Holland dressed in his Doc Savage togs would have Jungle Jim type adventures. So I got my buddy Vance Capley to photo-shop another faux movie poster starring the duo.






During the 1970s when " everybody was kung fu fighting " there was a series of books about judoka Jason Striker. The books were written by Piers Antony and Roberto Fuentes. And Steve Holland served as the model for Jason Striker on the covers of the paperbacks. It got me to wondering if Holland had any training. If he had been in the service he would have learned the basics at least.

Though Steve Holland was used as the model for Jason Stryker on the covers of the KIAI ! book series he might have been a little to old to play the character in a movie. And again we don't know if he had any judo or other martial arts training. My alternate suggestion for the actor to play the character would have been karate / kick-boxing champion Joe Lewis. There would have been no one better to portray the paperback hero in a martial arts mania era movie.


And now...OPERATION VALKYRIE
