Fit to Kill

Yes, they're even fit for a good fuck.
 Let's face it, to think Andy Sidaris could outdo the success he had with his first girls, guns & g-strings' film Malibu Express, would be like giving a shotgun to a monkey. Sidaris definitely believed he could continue, and so he pushed his luck to release 12  movies based on the same basic scheme of centerfold playing good guy/bad guy games with helter skelter success. So far you've seen myself reviewing most of his movies and this time I gotta say Sidaris films can entertain only the most avid sexploitation fans, and today's entry will prove that through a repeated formula you can still have fun.
"Fit To Kill" is the sequel to "Hard Hunted" with the same villain Kane (R.J. Moore) who is this time trying to steal a priceless diamond. Once again, agent Donna Hamilton (Dona Speir) is on his track, but she has to realize there are more parties interested in the jewel than just Kane...

This is how I got signed to work with Sidaris.
Nice fuck.
Action. Sidaris style.
Excellent story this time, to me one of the best from the Lethal Ladies series. Julie Strain is added to the familiar cast from "Hard Hunted". She gets a great introduction scene, working out on a balcony, whereas Dona Speir and R.J. Moore get a Bond dream scene and the best dialog they ever had. Sidaris' gadget obsession with remote control cars, boats and helicopters is taken to its all-time high with the duel of two heavily armed "baby helicopters". Two silly killers who blow up themselves in an attempted assassination turn the toy obsession into a comedy element which is the only possibility to top that. Regular actor Rodrigo Obregon plays a Russian diplomat - and he's a good guy, exceptionally.

My personal favorite, Dona Speir.
Gorgeous.
This is how I would like to meet with my coleagues.
Now, let's not forget that "Fit To Kill" follows the well-established by that point Andy Sidaris formula, which includes gorgeous female special agents in bikinis and other revealing outfits blowing away bad guys and having sex with their hunky male partners, beautiful exotic locations well-captured by the camera (most of being from Hawaii & Las Vegas), and a tongue-in-cheek tone despite all the mayhem. However, Sidaris had achieved better balance between action and soft-core porn in previous films (like "Savage Beach"); here, the script is too meandering, and there are two dimwitted hit men that are meant to be funny but don't really succeed. What gives this movie an extra kick is definitely the presence of Julie Strain (as a smooth assassin), in her first of many collaborations with Sidaris. Her introduction, which has her flexing and stretching her Amazonian body, must be one of the most memorable scenes in the director's filmography - the lighting and music in that scene are incredible! Unfortunately, the movie doesn't have a climactic hand-to-hand fight between her and Dona Speir. 

Sweet beaver Dona.
Nice Twat!
Overall, a standard Andy Sidaris film with plenty of explosions, gun shots, boobs and asses. Now I have only a couple more Sidaris movies to finish reviewing his 12 movie 90's sexploitation career. Stay tuned!

Here's the movie trailer:
