Third film in the 12 film Andy Sidaris "Triple B" series may be the high point
11 July 2021
Director Andy Sidaris made a career out of producing, writing, and directing a series of crass action films he named "Triple B" for Bullets, Bombs, and Babes or Bullets or Bombs or Boobs, which ran for 10 films from 1985 to 1998. They featured a rotating stock company of actors mostly made up of Playboy Playmates and Penthouse Pets, so you can guess the quality of acting you get with each movie. However, the Triple B films and this third film in particular all have an endearing charm in their unashamed embracing of their crassness and exploitative nature. Not for all tastes, but I found the film entertaining in a campy Ed Wood sort of way. Also, the Hawaii locations are pretty nice. Oh, and I forgot, the story here is about an undercover DEA agent and her blond friend busting up a drug trafficking cartel. FUN FACT! The yacht of the villain, Mr. Chang, in real life belonged to Glen A. Larson, creator of "Battlestar Gallactica" and "Knight Rider". Also, Paste magazine named "Hard Ticket to Hawaii" the "best B-Movie of all time." Not sure I'd go that far, but it's pretty fun.
