david-sarkies This movie is really bad. My friends comment was that it was taken from a porno-script and made into a very bad T&A movie. In fact, the skin shots are simply there to excite the viewers and probably would have made a far better porno, namely because it actually had a plot. Basically, two girls are framed for murder so they flee to Mexico and have a lot of adventures on the way. They pick up a third girl, are pursued by incompetent cops (in the very real sense) and run into the surfies. In the end, through some clever plan, they trap the real murder, get his money, and go on a beach tour south of the border. Really, this movie is just so bad. Not only are the actors really bad, but one gets the idea that it is made simply for men to gawk at attractive women (who really aren't that attractive anyway). The only message in there is for women, which is you don't need to apply heaps of makeup to look attractive, but I doubt any woman would have the desire to even watch it. The only people that would probably watch it are stupid men that get their jollies out of gawking at naked women on TV. My final comment about this movie is: don't bother. I am sure you are far more intelligent that the average viewing audience of this, and don't degrade yourself by giving it a chance. Don't ask me why I even bothered with it.
Wizard-8 With the title "Assault Of The Killer Bimbos", and the premise of two airheaded women on the run from the law, you may think that you'll get a lot of sleazy fun with this movie. Alas, the actual results are somewhat of a letdown.The women in the movie are written to be a likable bunch, and the actresses playing them are a talented bunch, but the screenplay is pretty one-note with them. After a while, these characters seem to just be doing the same thing over and over again. That may be because the screenplay stops advancing the plot after the first twenty minutes or so, and does not start advancing the plot until the last ten minutes.Eddie Deezen does liven things up with his appearance (no movie can be completely bad if it has Eddie Deezen), but he's only in the movie for a few minutes.Also, the screenplay is seriously lacking in sleaze. There's hardly any nudity, no sex, and a minimum amount of PG-style violence.Did this movie inspire "Thelma & Louise"? Probably not, but you never know.
jjw8 Even in the rarefied air of b-movies this is a stinker. Unlike the work of the fun B directors (H. G. Lewis, Fred Olen Ray, Al Adamson, even Ed Wood) this commits the cardinal sin of being boring. There's no energy, style or fun to this movie. It's just a tedious, drawn-out chase plot featuring three scantily clad women, of whom only Elizabeth Kaitan is worth a second look. (It's no coincidence that she's the only of the three who subsequently had any sort of career.) Even the bad actors (and there are plenty) are boring. Only Kaitan and supergeek Eddie Deezen bring anything to this party. The picture also deserves special mention for two of the lamest performances ever given by famous actors' offspring in one movie, courtesy of Griffin O'Neal and Nick Cassavettes as zonked out surfers. How did this mess ever develop a cult following?
hippiedj There is a special place in my heart for this wacky film. Not only is the plot similar to Thelma and Louise, it came out before that one! It's lighthearted, full of one-liners, and surprisingly tame on the "let's show some breasts" element. I appreciate the fact that nudity was not a chief concern for this story. I never thought these gals were dumb at all, the references to them as bimbos came from the "dudes" who were just not very bright themselves. And like Thelma and Louise, they rise above all the obstacles in their way. Think of this film as celebration of spiritedness and going for your dreams, well, even if it's a cowabunga barbecue! Favorite line: "MMMMM I love pancakes!"
