This film was given to me as a Christmas prezzie, only because my pal Volare Dez found a pic of Al Leong whilst surfing Google images and wondered, "what the hell?".What Dez saw was Al Leong in a really crappy looking helicopter, he traced where that came from and this film was the result.
Well, 'my oh my' what a find!
Apart from the superb Al Leong featuring in this film (yes... featuring, with lines and everything!) it also has a mix of Playboy models from the mid eighties dancing about the screen, half pretending to act whilst having a few obligatory topless scenes. The nude scenes don't really have any relevance to the story but are a pretty good distraction!
The story (this is all coming from memory) is something to do with a stolen trigger for a nuclear bomb landing in the hands of the wrong people and a team of busty chicks having to save the day somewhere in Hawaii whilst being pursued by Raven (Al Leong) and his crap homemade helicopter.
The team's guided by the strangest of DJ's, a top-heavy radio presenter who parades in front of the microphone wearing skimpy outfits, unaware that the listeners can't see her. She drops subtle (and not so subtle) clues for the team to follow over the airwaves. The thing I found amusing was when she wasn't in the radio booth presenting she would continue to communicate using the microphone to the people nearby, whether that's just walking by the pool or taking a dip in the hot tub. I wonder if she had a fancy removable voice box?
Anyway, the star of the show Donna (real name Dona Spier, left on the box cover) gets kidnapped during the film and taken aboard a small plane. There's a scuffle in the air and she breaks free, parachutes away and lands with a smack, head first on a rock giving her temporary amnesia.
Ah yes, where would crap B movie's be without the amnesia twist. If you're running out of ideas slap a nice little amnesia into the story, its a good little filler.
She recovers, stabs a guy and the team unites for an 'all mighty gun battle on the beach that puts the Normandy landing from Saving Private Ryan to shame' - na, just kidding! Its a small scale affair. Raven returns to finish everyone off but Donna brings him down with a lucky shot from the conveniently placed shotgun - BOOM!
The big boss (who doesn't really do much through the film, just sits on his yatch drinking champagne) narrowly escapes capture by the coastguards and threatens to return to seek his revenge. The end.
Awesome? Perhaps, perhaps not but its very entertaining if you watch it with a load of mates and have a few drinks. Apparently this is one film from a series by the same director (Andy Sidaris) so I may look into those for future viewings.
