This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This film was so much fun to watch and easily better than much of what come out of the larger firms. Loved it!It was well thought out and easily worth the watch. I look froward to watching it again and again. It was so refreshing to see a film that allows for such intelligent humour and brilliant direction. My only complaint is that the release was not wide enough to allow many of my friends all over the world to share in the laughs. This film is a brilliant watch for anyone who has been near the Burlesque scene. I hope that eventually you all have a chance to see Burlesque Assassins. I know it means a great deal to me.

May have spoilers :A fabulous espionage satire with burlesque beauties out to save the world.Roxi D'Lite as Bourbon Sue and cameo's from Miss Exotic World 2002 Kitten de Ville, in addition to Swiss temptress Koko la Douce and England's own Kiki Kaboom.Do not expect over the top fighting sequences but what you do get is lots of phoney blood squirting from headless necks, amputated limbs and other graphic wounds which was very entertaining. If you like inappropriate humour and tongue-in-cheek sensuality then you will enjoy this film.

This movie is a cartoon told with real actors! Which makes it a true joy to watch ..... and the laffs are plenty!The Burlesque Assassins are an underground special agent troupe of high end strippers who's mission is to assassinate the clones of Hitler, Stalin, and Moussolini. This in itself is enough to get you to watch this wacky story. But there's more!Their boss Johnny Valentine must dress incognito, and one of the strippers is a novice at espionage! She must learn on the job!If the story is too wack for you then watch it for the classic burli'q stripping - they do a great job!

Exactly what this bizarre film is, or attempts to be, is hard to say. Amateurish and inept beyond description, it has the feel of not exactly a very bad high school play, but more like the first rehearsal for a very bad high school play. But then about half way through the unremittingly cartoonish awfulness of it all I got the sense of a hidden subtext much like when watching a sneakily religious or political movie. It was only when I saw the credits that I figured it out, I think. This was apparently made by a group of Canadian Burlesque aficionados. Who knew there was such a thing? Only the Burlesque dancing itself (G rated nippleless striptease) is given any serious attention at all. The girls are indeed beautiful and skilled, they each did their own remarkable choreography, and everything else on the screen just didn't matter to the filmmakers. And I guess doesn't matter, after all, to me. I wish they had made a frank and personal documentary about themselves instead of such a witless farce, I would be quite interested to know the talented real women dancers behind all this muddle, but hey kids, dance on, strip on and have fun. Just don't call it anything like a real movie.
