I find with Andy Sidaris, that his filmography began very well indeed with a couple of B-Movie classics in Malibu Express and Hard Ticket to Hawaii and ended on a couple, Day of the Warrior and Return to Savage Beach, that were also good even if it was mainly because they both featured the monumentally sexy duo of Julie K Smith and Shae Marks. But what I have also discovered is the films Sidaris made between his first two cheesetastic classics and final two sexploitation successes were far more uneven in quality and Guns is a perfect example of this. Like several others, it relies too much on its ropey and predictable plot and less on naked girls and general daftness. This one has a narrative so by-the-numbers it's difficult to recall it not long after viewing. The action set-pieces once again mainly constitute some explosions and some guns
well I guess the title might require at least a little of the latter in fairness. But Sidaris really needs his sexy ladies to ensure a good film and here – despite featuring the very appealing Dona Speir – they are marginalised too much and
well
don't in all honesty get naked enough. So what we have left is a fairly sub-standard action flick with a small side-order of eye candy, as opposed to the other way round, which is the formula that has been proved to be far better in most other Sidaris movies. The film is also marginally notable for featuring Erik 'CHiPs' Estrada as an illegal arms dealer and Danny Trejo in a henchman role, years before he broke through to a certain level of cult fame in Hollywood.

When I was a wee tot I never cared about superfluous things like plot, characterization or people yakkin' exposition for more than 30 seconds. What I wanted to see was the car chases, explosions, high kicks and bikini girls with machine guns. Happy happy happy, joy joy joy! Of course, one day we have to grow old and abide to the rules of Society, that forces us to become, uh, "sophisticated". We ditch Hollywood blockbusters in public and pretend to like Finnish art movies and David Lynch. But deep down inside, in the heart of that happy child we once were, we really want to get home in time for the Baywatch rerun. And that, friends and foes, is the spirit of Sidaris' work. I've seen the polls at IMDb and voters aren't fond of Andy's flims. They're completely missing the point AND the fun.

I've sat through some s***. Skateboard Kid 1 and 2. Uncle Sam. They didn't even compare to this. Just.. dear lord. If you're a masochist, rent it/watch it at 1:30 a.m. on Cinemax. Horrible dialogue horribly delivered by horrible actors in horrible sets with horrible special effects.

I am a huge fan of Andy SidarisHis films are simple and to the point. There are no pretensions. He has a basic formula and even the same groups of actors and Sidaris fans expect nothing less. He always has large breasted women, mucho explosions (whether they make sense or not), big guns and former TV actors (this one has Erik Estrada).The basic plot involves a groups of female agents who also run a plane chartering company in Hawaii. They have to hunt down a gun runner who has ordred hits on a few people and leaves a Jack Of Diamonds as his calling card (hence the character's name Jack Of Diamonds).They fly to Vegas and also see action in Lake Havasu. A large part of the Vegas scenes were filmed at the just opened (as of filming) Rio Hotel.SEMI-SPOILERS: I enjoyed the scene of the bazooka shooting in the showroom with no one else in the hotel hearing it The scenes of them running into a Las Vegas hotel with a sh*tload of guns Cynthia Brimhall singing offkey again (she sings in just about every Sidaris film and always justa bit off key) the transvestite hitmen
So, even though this isn't the best Sidaris, it's still excellent for those seeking mindless explosions, motorcycle chases, nudity and transvestite hitmen.
