Hard Ticket to Hawaii (1987)

Very disappointing...

A Masterpiece!

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Hard ticket to Hawaii was introduced to me by pure randomness, on a rainy day of having nothing to do, I looked out on the Internet movies considered so horrible and cheesy, that they are actually hilarious and entertaining! I saw all of them except that one movie; Hard ticket to Hawaii... And... Oh.. My.. F****ng God, this movie is a masterpiece of awful! I mean, it's like if a Porn movie and Rambo had a baby... Let me sum up this movie in a few words; Boobs, Guns, Drugs, Blood, Lots of boobs and A GIANT SNAKE! After reading this, you probably have the urge of watching this flick out, if not well... Good for you, cause that movie if really terrible!For those who wants to be entertained by nudity violence and hilariously bad dialogues, watch this movie you'll laugh your butt off! For those who wants a cinematic and artistic experience of art, well, why are you even on this page?! This movie, as a normal dude who wants to be entertained, deserves an 8/10... For the mainstream critics, it is AT BEST a 3/10... In my humble opinion! Thanks for reading!

"Hard Ticket to Hawaii" is a movie that seems to have all the right ingredients, but somehow they never quite gel. There are beautiful, fit women in skimpy clothing or less, exotic locations, witty / corny dialogue ("If brains were bird crap, your cage would be clean"), killer frisbees (!), explosions, etc. But the pacing could have been snappier, the girls could have kicked more a$$ (the villainess-bodybuilder is definitely underused), and that snake is the fakest snake in the history of snakes! Still, Dona Speir handles her role with conviction and Hope Marie Carlton is just adorable. For all his flaws, Andy Sidaris remains one of the few American directors who love the girls-with-guns genre so much. (**1/2)

Andy Sidaris is truly the most prolific film maker of all time although I felt that the Shades character was under-utilized.Sidaris should have returned to Shade's back story about how his childhood love for Frisbee would ultimately be his downfall. Nevertheless, he died doing what he loved and for that I weep.I also enjoyed Ridge's portrayal of a marksman who couldn't quite hit his mark.My favourite point of the movie was the showdown between the skateboarding assassin and our fearless heroes. This conflict juxtaposes our societies strife between the rich and poor and the ultimate class struggle.Overall, Ten Thumbs Up!

This is the cheesiest file to ever grace the air waves! Cheese, cheese and MORE cheese! The ONLY reason this movie got made (and the others that followed!) is thanks to Ms. Spier's considerable weapons.... Other than that, there is not much reason to watch this movie (or its followers) unless it's to see Miss August, 1987 bounce about in her bikini and 6 inch pumps.....Basic plot is just that - basic. Evil bad guy wants to take over the Hawaiian markets with drugs and diamonds. Add a killer snake to the mix (which was REALLY badly created!) and you've got a killer movie. NOT!First off, lots of lame lines, lame action and lame 'near soft core' porn. The special effects (what there are of 'em) are cheesey and... Uh... LAME! The locations are - well, hey! It IS Hawaii, so its not lame. Hell, even the 'drag queen' double agent was lame! Now, honestly, how many of you watched this thing and DIDN'T know that Michelle was actually a MICHAEL? Again, LAME! So lame!What had to be the most laughable aspect of the film, was the totally contrived scene with Donna and Rowdy - their 'sex' scene.... He looks like he's straight outta bad porn - especially with his fake moans and climax - and her acting wasn't much better. And, of course, isn't it always completely possible for two people to have sex when they're still wearing their underwear?!? Before, during and after, Donna and Rowdy are clothed.... Again, LAME!!!OK. I think you may have gotten my point on this one - and the others made after it. But if you haven't, let me sum it up in one sentence: LAME, LAME, LAME, LAME, LAME, LAME, LAME, LAME AND LAME!
