There were a lot of good TV movies in the 70s, even great ones, but "The Gypsy Warriors" (1978) isn’t one of them. It comes across as a more serious episode of Wonder Woman, but without the fun spirit and Lynda Carter in her scanty costume. Yes, it’s that bad. The movie shows that acquiring Nazi uniform, faking a German accent and being recognized as a Nazi officer at an important hidden lab is easy as pie.
