Part of

Bullets, Bombs, and Babes Collection

"Bullets, Bombs, and Babes" or "Bullets, Bombs, and Boobs" (BBB for short) is a series of B-movies produced between 1985 and 1998 by Andy Sidaris. All were action flicks featuring buxom gun-toting Playboy Playmates and Penthouse Pets with titles like Fit to Kill and Savage Beach. Most of Sidaris' "Triple B" series (later given the title L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies) focused on the adventures of a team of secret agents and were mostly filmed in Hawaii. Several entries in the series were merely produced by him and were written and directed by others. Although the series featured recurring characters, continuity between films was not a priority and it was common for an actress who played a villain (and was killed off) in one film to re-appear in a subsequent film as a hero.

This is not a good movie though I will say, it is a slight step up from Savage Beach and Picasso Trigger for whatever that's worth. The acting is all around terrible, though Roberta Vasquez at least possessed some on-screen charisma. For the most part I watched this utterly miffed on what this was about. From what I gathered, Juan Degas (Erik Estrada) is trying to transport guns using Hawaii as a stopping point to refuel on the way to South America. He wants to kill these agents because... distraction? I think. Seems like he caused more trouble going this route (and yes, I realize revenge was part of the plan as Donna's father once tried to take him down, just seems dumb all things considered). That said, can't I wasn't entertained, which I couldn't say about Andy Sidaris's other movies.
