Director:  Michael Pressman

Writers:  Peter Macgretor-Scott, Mark Bruce Rosin

Composer:  Craig Safan

Starring:  Claudia Jennings, Tara Strohmeier, Jocelyn Jones, Miles Watkins, Nancy Bleier, Buddy Kling, Oliver Clark

More info:  IMDb

Tagline:  They'll Blow You Away!

Plot:  A couple of slutty, thievin' chicks like to blow stuff up, rob banks and drive cars real fast.



My rating:  6/10

Will I watch it again?   No.

Well, I'll be.  This wasn't nearly as bad as I expected.  Of course, the abundance of nudity is a big plus.  Usually movies of this ilk are pretty bad and are filled with what's supposed to be "comedy", along with horrible rinkydink music to mimic the "comedy".  This one doesn't really have anything like that which is a welcome relief.   Claudia Jennings and Jocelyn Jones do a great job, you know, for a low budget drive-in picture like this.  No one's going into this expecting the likes of Laurence Olivier caliber of acting.  Their boobs do most of the heavy lifing anyway.  California, as usual, is the stand-in for Texas.  They rob some banks, have some sex, and generally enjoy themselves on the run from the fuzz.  The ending has some surprising moments which was welcome.  Dishing out something different in a movie that is so much like all the others of its day is nice.  Did I mention the boobs?
