George Taylor One of the dumbest 'action' movies ever made. All all female crew (which I have no problem with), most of whom lack any vestige of intelligence are sent on a mission. Basically this is just an eye candy movie as none of these women even breaks a nail! Maybe worth one view.... maybe.
zee There is one good thing about this movie, and that's singer Patty Foley's voice. (She sings "Shine Your Love"--not the height of disco music, but it does show off her voice for a moment.) Otherwise, the movie is crap from top to bottom. Script and acting get the worst grades, but nothing here is good.I worry about people who think women dressed and acting like this are sexy. It's a lowlife, slimy sexuality, like getting a lap dance from a trembling drug addict with festering open sores. Ewww-sexuality, making 1950's dirty comic books look pleasant and sophisticated in comparison. Pandering to those men (and perhaps a few women) who find this sort of thing sexy was the raison d'etre for this awful, awful movie. So if you're one of those guys, have at it. If you're anyone else, make sure the hot water heater is working for the long shower you'll want to take after watching this. The "plot" and "action" are the film are pasted on to excuse the T & A and deserve no mention.Not even MST3K jokes can make me watch this all the way through a second time.
editguy Well, maybe one or two. But Hollywood being what it is, the producers of this dreck-fest took the easy way out and made themselves a low-budget version of Charlie's Angels.As the MST3K guys would say, "This movie is refreshingly itself." What's tragic is to watch both the parade of no-talent jigglers who make up the Angels (dedicated to ineptly keeping drugs off the streets), and the parade of actual Hollywood legends, all clearly down on their luck. It's especially painful to watch Jim Backus, nearing the end of a 40+ year career, harrumph his way through this trainwreck, helped by his island-mate Alan Hale (no, he doesn't get a "little Buddy" line off, but he should have.) Jack Palance and Peter Lawford sell out as well...at least Palance made a comeback of sorts after the City Slickers movies.The Angels represent every female stereotype, from the mousy schoolteacher to the hip black stuntwoman, to the perky teenager who wants to join the crimefighting. All look good in the requisite white spandex (funny how none of the crooks notices squads of perky woman in white uniforms on their top-secret property, eh?) The hidden jewel of this film is behind the camera. Cinematographer Dean Cundey would go on to direct photography in the Back to the Future series, Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, and Roger Rabbit. In this film, he seems to have been limited to two lights, both with low-wattage bulbs...Cundey was lucky -- the rest of the cast, stars and tyros alike, for the most part are rarely if ever seen again!
otisfirefly2001 this movie might almost be unwatchable had it not been on MST3K. the movie is soo bad that it's good. now let's run the numbers with the things wrong:1) Story: bad, horrible, lack-there-of, lame. take your pick. This movie's story really never takes the time to play itself out, it really consists of one, long flashback told by one of the lead characters, and boy is it a long flashback. Maybe one of the longest in film history! We get a little something about six semi-hot women(well hot for the 70's) who are fed up with drugs being pushed to kids and decide to do something about it. What do they do? They decide they are going to blow up one small drug producing building and that is the end of drugs everywhere. Sadly this movie fails to grasp the concept that there is more then one building to destroy, but they only destroy the one and that's it. as crow says it "So they just destroyed all the drugs in the world?" Which pretty much sums up all their actions in a nutshell. 2) the acting is not so up to par. No one really turns in a decent roll in the movie, except Jack Pallance, and why he was in this movie is a good question. Possible summing it up with another thing that crow says, "Jack's down years". The rest of the characters stumble through their dialogue and try to seem convincing, but it's just not possible with this movie(and I use this term lightly - it's more like a romp through the bowls of bad cinema).Nothing much else can be said about this bad movie, except that it made for one good episode of MST3K. Probably one of my favorites next to Puma Man, Jack Frost, and a few others. I would only recommend this movie if you are viewing the mst3k version. You are guaranteed the laugh through the episode.
