Wonderfully offbeat film!

An Exercise In Nonsense

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

After double agent Picasso Trigger (smoothly played with cool assurance by John Aprea) gets bumped off by treacherous arch drug smuggler Miguel Ortiz (a pleasingly slimy portrayal by Rodrigo Obregon), several federal agents are assigned by the agency they work for to bring Ortiz down. Writer/director Andy Sidaris maintains a quick pace throughout and delivers his usual enjoyable mixture of delicious babes in skimpy swimsuits or less (busty blonde knockout Dona Speir and mega cutie Hope Marie Carlton are mad hot as our sexy heroines while smoldering buxom brunette Roberta Vasquez contributes a memorably sultry turn as enticing femme fatale Pantera), an amusingly goofy sense of tongue-in-cheek humor, big splashy explosions, nifty James Bond-style gadgets (a deadly explosive boomerang, killer remote control toy car and airplane, etc.), a good deal of bloody violence, occasional bits of strenuous slow motion, a cool fierce martial arts fight, and globe-trotting international locations which add an impressively expansive scope to the picture. The acting from the attractive cast is passable at best, with Steve Bond likable enough as buff hunk Travis Abilene, Kym Malin simply adorable as sassy cowgirl dancer Kym, Cynthia Brimhall displaying real class as the elegant Edy Stark, and Harold Diamond providing suitably macho muscle as ace karate fighter Hondo. Howard Wexler's slick cinematography gives the movie a nice polished look while Gary Stockdale's lively score hits the stirring spot. A fun flick.

It's not his best work, but I still don't feel like I wasted my rental.It drags on in some parts, and most of the hand to hand fight scenes are really unconvincing.On the plus side, it has some tricks and twists that an audience member really wouldn't see coming. No Julie Strain, but Donna Spier and Roberta Velasquez look really good in most of their shots. :)Still, the nudity, while gratuitous, isn't very common in occurrence. The scenes where the characters are in swimsuits are nice, I guess. I have to admit they look pretty good.It really didn't flow very well, and it had some scenes that were just plain boring.Overall, I still like Sidaris' work, because it's the best you'll ever get in this kind of film work, I think, but he's done better.

Just watching the credits for Sidaris' flicks reveals where he gets his cast. Everyone is from Playboy, Penthouse, or Playgirl. What the heck, everyone wants a chance to act. At least none of these folks gave Sidaris any headaches about doing nude scenes!The movies are popcorn, not meant to be taken to seriously. Just sit back and watch a bunch of occassionally naked women and guys kill some nefarious bad guys.

I just had to comment on this film. To start, there is of course absolutely nothing special about this babes w/ guns flick to the countless others that Cinemax shows on their midnight line up. But what differentiates Picasso Trigger from most is the inventive weapons.Example #1: Attaching a bomb to a boomerang to blow up the bad guy.Example #2: Attaching a timed bomb to a remote control car to blow up the bad guy when the target is at grenade throwing distance.This is what makes movies like these great to watch. It just goes to prove really bad movies can be entertaining and stimulating.
