Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Woodyanders After double agent Picasso Trigger (smoothly played with cool assurance by John Aprea) gets bumped off by treacherous arch drug smuggler Miguel Ortiz (a pleasingly slimy portrayal by Rodrigo Obregon), several federal agents are assigned by the agency they work for to bring Ortiz down. Writer/director Andy Sidaris maintains a quick pace throughout and delivers his usual enjoyable mixture of delicious babes in skimpy swimsuits or less (busty blonde knockout Dona Speir and mega cutie Hope Marie Carlton are mad hot as our sexy heroines while smoldering buxom brunette Roberta Vasquez contributes a memorably sultry turn as enticing femme fatale Pantera), an amusingly goofy sense of tongue-in-cheek humor, big splashy explosions, nifty James Bond-style gadgets (a deadly explosive boomerang, killer remote control toy car and airplane, etc.), a good deal of bloody violence, occasional bits of strenuous slow motion, a cool fierce martial arts fight, and globe-trotting international locations which add an impressively expansive scope to the picture. The acting from the attractive cast is passable at best, with Steve Bond likable enough as buff hunk Travis Abilene, Kym Malin simply adorable as sassy cowgirl dancer Kym, Cynthia Brimhall displaying real class as the elegant Edy Stark, and Harold Diamond providing suitably macho muscle as ace karate fighter Hondo. Howard Wexler's slick cinematography gives the movie a nice polished look while Gary Stockdale's lively score hits the stirring spot. A fun flick.
gridoon Once again, this Sidaris film seems to have everything: a fit and quite believable as an agent Dona Speir, an incredibly adorable Hope Marie Carlton (on a scale of 1 to 10, her smile is a 12), a gorgeous Roberta Vasquez, international locations (Paris, Las Vegas, Texas, Hawaii, etc.), LOTS of explosions, outrageous gadgets, etc. The mix should have been explosively hot, but sadly it's only lukewarm. The execution of the formula is mechanical, as if Sidaris was simply ticking off action scenes from a list. There are very few funny lines (the best belongs to Speir: when she's accused of being jealous, she says "there is not a jealous bone in my body - check it out for yourself", and she disrobes!) and the one fight scene, involving Harold Diamond, is terrible. But to end this comment on a positive note, John Aprea gives a slick performance as the arch-villain of the story. (**)
movieman_kev The third film in the long "babes with guns" series, has the buxom beauties of a government agency that at this point of the series hadn't been named, go after baddie Miguel Ortiz after he kills secret agent Picasso Trigger. A steady stream of bad acting, massive explosions and even more massive mammeries (but less nudity than most of the other films in the series). When it comes down to it Andy Sidaris's near-trademark mixture of boobs, bullets, and bad acting is not for everyone. You either enjoy the concoction or you don't. I'm more in the former than the latter as I see them as fairly innocent time-wasting eye candy. Just go with it and you'll enjoy to an extant. And while this one might not be his best film (that would be "Do or Die" in case you're wondering), it's still enjoyable if you just remember to turn your brain off at the door.My Grade: C+ Eye Candy: Cynthia Brimhall, Hope Carlton, Patty Duffek, Kym Malin, and Don Spier all show various amounts of gratuitous skin.DVD Extras: Introduction with Andy and Julie Strain; Director's Commantary; 36 minute Behind the scenes featurette (featuring abundant nudity); Production Stills; Sndy Sidaris filmography; web-links; Theatrical Trailer; and Trailers for 11 other Sidaris films (all with abundant nudity) Easter Egg: There's one hidden in the main menu featuring a nearly fully nude Julie Strain goofing off.
mptnla What were they thinking when they made this? I happened to roll over and was unable to sleep one night at about 2AM and this movie was playing on cable. It wasn't just awful because it was so dated (which of course can't be helped), but the acting was bad, the special effects, the score, the storyline -- need I go on? For as bad as it was though, I couldn't turn it off because I kept watching to see how bad it could get. The topper was when Steve Bond turned his crutch into a shotgun and then a missile launcher! And then the corny bad wrap-up scene. This movie is funny -- but not intentionally. Watch it only for laughs at how bad it is.
