Guns (1990)

Though the 3B franchise seems to be scraping the bottom of the barrel with a title like Guns, it's actually a pretty fun entry in the series. Roberta Vasquez replaces Hope Marie Carlton's Taryn almost directly as Nicole (even taking her old boyfriend and a similar background, though not attitude). You know she's not Pantera because she has shorter hair, see? There's actually a much expanded role for Cynthia Brimhall's Edy, and we finally delve into Donna's back story and her family ties to the Agency (I mean, did she even have a last name before this?). I know they were on the has-been side of things in 1990, but it's still fun to see Erik Estrada as the villainous Jack of Diamonds (minus the inferred rape, like no) and Danny Trejo as his sidekick. The two of them are playing a manipulative game of revenge using smoke and mirrors, which is actually a theme - yes, a bonafide THEME in a Triple B movie - what with Edy's mirror moment and her partner being a stage magician/Agency operative. Though the title song goes "Don't play with guns / they're not much fun", it's still followed by an awful lot of gunplay, but it takes almost a half hour before there's any sign of nudity, despite a lot of opportunities for it. I almost thought Sidaris was done with that. I wonder what happened? 3 years 3 months ago
