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.
