Fit to Kill

This film essentially begins with the notorious arms dealer named "Kane" (Geoffrey Moore) hiring an assassin by the name of "Blu Steele" (Julie Strain) to steal an extremely rare diamond from a Chinese businessman named "Chang" (Aki Aleong). The problem Kane has, however, is that the diamond is being protected by several American federal agents--most notably "Donna Hamilton" (Dona Speir) and "Nicole Justin" (Roberta Vasquez)--who have thwarted a number of his schemes in the past. Not only that, but both Donna and Nicole are aware that Kane has his sights set on stealing this diamond and are convinced they can prevent that from happening. At least, that is what they think. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that, much like all of the other films in the series, this picture had a decent plot but it was negated, in part, by the poor script and weak acting by almost everyone concerned. Admittedly, it does have a number of attractive women with Ava Cadell (as "Ava") and Dona Speir standing out the most, in my opinion. But even so, none of these ladies could overcome the obvious flaws just mentioned and because of that I have rated this movie accordingly. Slightly below average.

For a B movie, it comes pretty near to being almost like a what a normal movie would be if it had a lot more gratuitous nudity and violence, and in addition to that, it has Julie Strain in it. What more could you want?

When you consider that Sidaris is working almost exclusively with ex-playboy playmates and penthouse pets, it's actually quite a spectacular accomplishment.

If you only compare it with other straight to video type movies, you can see how uncommon this type of film making is.

Sidaris is to be congratulated for bringing actual talent to a segment of the film market that usually gets passed over.

Well, the playboy beautiful ladies visually steal the show in this well-known concept of Sidaris, this time more and more frequently in the picture than ever and we can of course only applaud that, it is all mixed with a big wink and sometimes even some lame humor, but it is all very entertaining.

Donna Speir is in my opinion getting a bit too old, but she still has a wonderful body, although she is far from the main attraction in terms of beauty.

Of course, you should not take the action too seriously, in fact, not at all, it is quite weakly executed, but that should not spoil the overall fun.

In my humble opinion, one of the best Sidaris episodes of the series.

"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, 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 - IMO, an unforgivable mistake on Sidaris' part. (**1/2)

Fit to Kill is another in the series of sexploitation/action flicks directed by Andy Sidaris. This one is in fact a sequel to the earlier Hard Hunted. It's probably an improvement on that one I reckon because I seem to think it had more breasts in it. Let's be honest, the semi-nude super-hot women are by some distance the principal reasons to watch Sidaris movies. This one is well stacked (and racked) with hotties that's for sure. We have blonde bombshell Dona Speir, the Amazonian Julie Strain as a black-clad assassin, the rather gorgeous Ava Caddell as a DJ who turns up for work in not much more than her underwear and busty beauty Sandra Wild who has an excellent habit of standing around in the pool with her top off. You can't really argue with any of that to be perfectly honest and Sidaris is the only director who seems to have made these Playmate-populated action girl movies, so fair play to him for coming up with what is a pretty good idea I have to say.

The plot-line is about a stolen diamond. That's all anyone needs to know because the story is no more than a McGuffin that allows us to see breasts and explosions. Oh, and many of the crappy remote-controlled gadgets that Sidaris is so bizarrely fond of. I would be somewhat surprised if I discovered the secret service ever actually used a remote-controlled buggy to dispatch of their enemies. The very beautiful special agents in this one tend to go around in bikinis and small tight tops, which worked for me. Unfortunately, there are the usual problems that Sidaris films have, such as poorly executed action scenes and, worst of all, really annoying comedy-relief hit-men. This pair weren't even killed which was really a bit unfortunate. Of additional trivia, we have ex James Bond Roger Moore's actual son, R.J Moore, feature in a fantasy Bond sequence involving a barely dressed Dona Speir. All-in-all, one of the better Sidaris flicks overall.
