I would assume Double Agent 73 was made the same week as Deadly Weapons, but despite being released the same year with many of the same performers, it's technically much more competent. It gives us wild transitions, dynamic chase scenes, simple special effects, and far less of the choppy editing trying to hide the bad acting. Chesty Morgan's limited acting is here more often hidden in a character that doesn't require much of it - Jane (Bond?), a cold assassin taking out bad guys in various amusing ways until you've forgotten the convoluted plot. In other words, there's a certain tediousness that sets in. The breasty twist this time: There's a hidden camera in one of her boobs, giving her ample reason to get topless so she can snap them pics (and that's not the most ridiculous thing about this story). But don't despair, Deadly Weapons fans! She also kills a couple of dudes using her famous bust, with different techniques from the first film too. Ultimately, this isn't as good because it isn't as bad, but I'm really penalizing it for its impenetrable yet repetitive plot. 1 year 1 month ago
