... but here goes anyway. Andy Sidaris has no more directorial sense than Ed Wood, and not much more money, but like Ed Wood, he never let a shortage of cash or talent keep him out of the director's chair. Like all of his movies, HTTH plays like low rent T&A version of Chips or some other bad 70s TV action show, but with worse acting and dialogue, shoddier action sequence construction and painfully cheap explosion effects. For instance, when a chopper blows up halfway through, the model looks so fake you can practically read 'Fisher-Price' on the bottom. And the plot-line seems like a random assemblage of action bits pulled off a dartboard, which it probably was. Sidaris works so fast and slap-dash, he makes Jesse Franco look like Steven Spielberg. I may have spent more time dashing off this review than Andy spent on HTTH's script. Nevertheless, he knows what his audience wants: bouncy Playmates showing off a lot of skin while shooting it out with bad guys, and he delivers the goods. You have to give the guy credit for truth in advertising if nothing else.

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!

In this second film in Andy Sidaris's babes & bullets saga (precede by "Malibu Express" and followed by "Picasso Trigger", both slightly better films, in my mind) two DEA agents are killed on a private Hawaiin Island. Then two agents of a government agency stumble on a dastardly plot involving diamonds, a killer snake, and remote controlled helicopters.When not fighting for their lives with the bed guys, they enjoy being topless in the Jacuzzi. Highlights include the blowing up of a plastic doll, and of course whenever Dona Speir sheds her top. Lowlights include the lamest snake "effect" I've ever seen and whenever Dona is off-screen. Fun for a drunken night with friends. Eye Candy: Cynthia Brimhall; Hope Marie Carlton; Patty Duffek; and Dona Speir all get topless multiple timesMy Grade: C-DVD Extras: Introduction with Andy and Julie Strain; Director's Commantary; 37 minute Behind the scenes featurette (featuring abundant nudity); Production Stills; Sndy Sidaris filmography; web-links; Theatrical Trailer; and Trailers for 11 other Sidaris films (all with abundant nudity)Easter Egg: For 15 seconds of Julie Strain completely nude, From the main menu, highlight the "Bonus Features" & press right

One of the hottest looking "actresses" ever. Lots of nudity, even when they have clothing on they are usually running around and wear very sexy outfits so it's still pretty cool. Despite the obvious appeal because of the babes, this movie is filled lots of action and is fun too watch. Not exactly on the level of Citizen Kane, but hey who cares, Orson Wells never looked this good!
