Hard Hunted (1992)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Jim Lampley in the scene in the board room? He is wearing 80s glasses and a bad fake mustache. Nice attempt at a disguise, but you can easily recognize his unique voice. He is not listed in the credits (not surprisingly).As everyone else said, this film is a bad attempt at showing T&A through bad plot, slow scenes, and horrible, I repeat HORRIBLE singing sequences. The "singer" is more off key than I was at 16, ugh. I get the sense that this is a poor attempt at being like a Charlie's Angels type movie, with all the fancy planes, cars, etc and beautiful women, minus the action and acting. Bonus points for those that notice the ugly cow/leopard/tiger prints on the clothing and even briefcase! Such bad fashion sense.

Besides the landscapes and women, Sidaris' cinema is always a cinema of fast movement, too. Hardly surprising, since he won many prizes for TV sports reports before he specialized in armed babes! This time the best speedy scene is with a helicopter chasing a car. One agent is killed for a mysterious jade Buddha, but her colleague Donna Hamilton (Dona Speir) escapes with the artifact. Because she suffers from amnesia, she doesn't remember who the bad guys are, and then it is not even simply a good guys vs bad guys situation, but a third party of other baddies, led by a sinister looking Rodrigo Obregon (with a monstrous scar + eye patch!), makes it more complicated. One of the silliest story elements we were ever asked to believe during the Lethal Ladies series is the radio astrologist Ava (Ava Cadell) who transmits secret messages „coded" (uh-oh!) to the agents. Remember, telephones were invented long before 1992, and don't believe that if you work for a radio station, you could sit in a pool all day. What else sticks to my memory? Cringe-worthy dialogs ("There's nothing we can do till the morning." - "Even James Bond takes time off for sex!"), the beautiful background of the Pacific islands and the perfectly fitting, relaxing music, vocals by Cynthia Brimhall. This is the 7th out of my 12 reviews for the works of Andy Sidaris, in chronological order.

Seventh in the "Bullets & Babes" series, has Lil Sidaris taking the directorial efforts off his daddy's hands. However it seems he doesn't have the directorial expertise that his father had pretty much honed by the time and the film suffers from it. Yea all the ingredients are there in spades, but there's something missing in this installment and it just didn't seem as fun as previous ones in the series. The plot be it what it may, has the L.E.T.H.A.L. chicks dealing with a nuclear trigger and averting tragedy once again or some such silly thing. Plots Commantary; Behind the scenes featurettes on "Hard Hunted" & "Return to don't really matter in these films. I loathed the singing (yes singing) portions of the film.Eye Candy: Cynthia Brimhall, Ava Cadell, Carolyn Liu, Becky Mullen, Mika Quintard, Dona Speir, Donna Hamilton, Roberta Vasquez all get topless My Grade: D DVD Extras: Introduction with Andy and Julie Strain; Director's Savage Beach"; Joe Bob Briggs Interview; footage of an all nude Julie Smith; Production Stills; Sndy Sidaris filmography; web-links; Theatrical Trailer; and Trailers for 11 other Sidaris films Easter Egg: an extra 23 seconds of all nude Julie Smith can be found hidden in the third Trailers menu

This movie introduces us, the american public, to a concept that will in the end rule the world, beautiful scantily clad women with guns that have sex with equally attractive men and fight terrorists in between. After I saw this fruity role up of genuine classiness, I said to myself... "self, that was a great movie, a movie that will have people talking for generations to come, a movie that will define a nation and break the hold of communism as we know it." And the silly goobers of America don't even realize this. I hope that this powerful nose goblin will change you to. -**1/2 stars
