This has to be one of the dumbest movies ever filmed, and if I give it a barely acceptable rating (six out of ten) it's more for the nostalgia with which I now remember it, rather than for its filmic qualities, which are almost non-existent. The only thing I remember, and for which I forgive his unfortunate scenes of action, is the presence of several Playboy bunnies, who with problems try to act and give life to one-dimensional characters. Seeing the film again, almost thirty years later, the only possible defense to such a mess is the presence of Donna (Dona Spier), Taryn (Hope Marie Carlton), Edy (Cynthia Brimhall) and Panther (Roberta Vasquez), but I imagine that it would be difficult for someone today to invest their money in bringing together a group of women as little equipped for the performance as those mentioned.The bad acting direction as much as film seems almost amateur. Even a graduate of a film school would achieve better results, but I suppose in the eighties testosterone or a group of breasts and hips could replace any gray matter. Actually, the movie would hardly qualify with a two out of ten.

Andy Sidaris follows his usual formula with this mix of action, gorgeous scenery, and even more gorgeous women. The story deals with the title character, an international criminal played by handsome John Aprea. He's gunned down outside an art gallery by the goons of a crazed associate, Miguel Ortiz (Rodrigo Obregon). Then a team of government operatives, including Travis Abilene (amiable hunk Steve Bond), Donna (the delectable Dona Speir), and Taryn (lovely Hope Marie Carlton) spend their time trying to eliminate Ortiz and his henchmen."Picasso Trigger" is fun, at least to a degree. It's never inspired, but it's reasonably rousing at times and even if the viewer is otherwise bored, they'll hopefully be preoccupied with ogling the female cast members. Naturally, they show off the goods when they get a chance. The acting is basically good enough for this sort of thing. The standout is veteran Aprea, who's a real smooth type. The gadgets designed by "Q" type character The Professor (Richard LePore) are cute, especially that killer crutch.The material is played with a degree of humour, with some choice bits of dialogue here and there. Things get a little annoying in the final minutes, with one "ending" after another, but the movie is overall a good little diversion.Six out of 10.

The third film in the long "babes with guns" series, has the buxom beauties of a government agency that at this point of the series hadn't been named, go after baddie Miguel Ortiz after he kills secret agent Picasso Trigger. A steady stream of bad acting, massive explosions and even more massive mammeries (but less nudity than most of the other films in the series). When it comes down to it Andy Sidaris's near-trademark mixture of boobs, bullets, and bad acting is not for everyone. You either enjoy the concoction or you don't. I'm more in the former than the latter as I see them as fairly innocent time-wasting eye candy. Just go with it and you'll enjoy to an extant. And while this one might not be his best film (that would be "Do or Die" in case you're wondering), it's still enjoyable if you just remember to turn your brain off at the door.My Grade: C+ Eye Candy: Cynthia Brimhall, Hope Carlton, Patty Duffek, Kym Malin, and Don Spier all show various amounts of gratuitous skin.DVD Extras: Introduction with Andy and Julie Strain; Director's Commantary; 36 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: There's one hidden in the main menu featuring a nearly fully nude Julie Strain goofing off.

What were they thinking when they made this? I happened to roll over and was unable to sleep one night at about 2AM and this movie was playing on cable. It wasn't just awful because it was so dated (which of course can't be helped), but the acting was bad, the special effects, the score, the storyline -- need I go on? For as bad as it was though, I couldn't turn it off because I kept watching to see how bad it could get. The topper was when Steve Bond turned his crutch into a shotgun and then a missile launcher! And then the corny bad wrap-up scene. This movie is funny -- but not intentionally. Watch it only for laughs at how bad it is.
