Incredible original soundtrack for a trash movie. Also, incredible trash movie. 6 years 7 months ago -

I wish Darby Hinton had reprised the role of Cody Abilene in Hard Ticket to Hawaii, he really was charming, as his more lantern-jawed cousin Rowdy Abilene (Ronn Moss) is essentially the same character down to the inability to shoot straight, but more boring (he makes up for it by using a bazooka where a blowgun will do). Loosely tied to Malibu Express (though that family tie but also the "Agency" everyone seems to work for), this one brings in the martial artist male stars into its crime plot rather late, leaving it to the female leads with strong echoes of Charlie's Angels, though Sidaris hasn't learned that show's lesson about casting. Too many blond women with the same basic haircut means I was often confused as to who I was looking it. I guess Playboy had a type. The sex and nudity have been toned down from the first film, but are somehow more gratuitous. Absent a figure like Cody who causes toplessness, the female stars need to disrobe for inspect clues, or we really need to watch them change from one outfit to another. So this is another silly guns with girls action flick, amusing for what it is, and I didn't even mention the subplot about the mutant snake. I'm also keen to see if clever opening credits are a trademark Sidaris move, but he's 2 for 2 after this one. 3 years 4 months ago
