The fifth arrival of Andy Sidaris’s Triple B series (also known as either Bullets, Bombs, and Babes or Bullets, Bombs, and Boobs) GUNS (R95 mins $19.98) was introduced to Blu-ray ( with a 4K Widescreen Restoration) for the first time last month from Mill Creek Entertainment. It also has movieSPREE catchers Wulcyn to redeem his Digital Code.
GUNS revolves around two female L.E.T.H.A.L. agents, Donna Hamilton and Nicole Justin (played by Dona Speir and Roberta Vasquez), who are being targeted by an arms smuggler, Juan Degas “Jack of Diamonds” (Erik Estrada). The film was initially distributed on VHS in 1990.
The plot follows the story like this.
From Hawaii, Degas aims to transport high-tech weapons into The United States of America, but the only thing standing in his way is the L.E.T.H.A.L. agents. As a result, he employs the use of assassins to keep The Agency occupied. However, Donna and Nicole become privy to his plan. With help from a rocket launcher, they plan to put a stop to Degas. Chuck McCann, Dona Speir, Bruce Penhall, Danny Trejo, Cynthia Brimhall, and Rick Estrada star in the film.
Thanks to Mill Creek Entertainment, we again get over the top doses of Andy Sidaris which reveal more than enough of his work. Up until now, we own six of his films on Blu Ray and I suspect that there is an additional six to go as they seem to be upgrading their line of 12 movie collection released back in 2011 entitled Guns, Girls and G-Strings: The Lingerie Festival.
Whether blue or red-pilled, Andy will always be a controversial figure in cult cinema. What everyone can agree on is that he is a goldmine for those who appreciate, the ”give-zero-shit” approach to filmmaking. As Sidaris’ films almost always guarantee non-stop action and soft-core sex, some may argue that he is a sexist hack, whereas I like Sidaris for the exact reason that he has such a tongue-in-cheek approach to storytelling.
The magnificently titled Guns follows the plot of an arms dealer who has made his headquarters out of the highly decorated and opulent Hawaii Islands. Naturally, the mercenaries called LETHAL are trailing hot on his heels in this gloriously cheesy movie by Sidaris.
Like all other Sidaris films, Guns is bathed in tropical sunlight and high amounts of noise, along with a myriad of hot women already out of their tops. The film’s hairstyles are a horrific mash of the 80s and 90s taking it without a doubt closer to the realm of direct-to-cable movies. The script is without a doubt infuriating and runs all too black and white, consisting of the same predictable dialogues, outrageous explosions, unexpected ninjas, and like in all Sidaris films a whole lot of softcore sex and nudity.
The cast is surprisingly interesting. Esparza and his over-the-top hair and show-off attitude, was quite entertaining as the main villain, while Trejo was fantastic as Tong, the biggest henchman. One of Andy’s regulars Ms. Speir, seems to have had immense fun and is exceptional too.
A baffling part was that the iconic comedian Chuck Mcann was an illusionist just like you and me expect. McCann is not that fun. In that small role, he perfectly embodies an over-mastered physical comedy that is far too self-aware, and monetizes on how he exits, goes off blazing.
This is one set which in not a fan. In his other works, their camp is ineffective. Versed in mindless activities that aged terribly is an era which one does. In huge groups of fans who think alike, his movie is especially enjoyable.
Mill Creek Entertainment fans received an excellent Blu-Ray version with a 4K transfer and numerous extras, including a postponeable director’s introduction, separately recorded in the advanced Forwards. Plus, there is an entire, smeared on a behind-the-scenes scooter session, plus trailers, plus applause and cheers. Requires careful insertion into your collection.
