This is for those who enjoy a wild & whacky romp around the world while spying.
The production value & special effects are 1st rate. It could have been produced by Disney.

This wild, offbeat spy spoof follows a team of three female agents recruited to use their unique skills to prevent World War III. Krista, the spiritual leader with mystical powers extraordinaire, Gina, the over-enthusiastic newlywed Kung Fu master and Nola, the under-experienced newbie with a knack for falling down. Together, they fight and love their way across the world leaving a trail of broken hearts, foiled schemes and shameless plugs for previous BBG films...featuring the music of BBG (with BBG parodying themselves as clueless TV hosts).
Great to be able to watch a wacky slapstick film without the 18+ jokes so the entire family can have a god time. Watch these 'spies' try to decipher clues and hunt for the prize. A throwback to the classic comedies of the 40's when it didn't have to follow logic...it only had to be funny! And this film is! Enjoy!

If you love spy movies, kung fu movies, comedies, and a fun soundtrack? Then check out 36 Husbands. It's fantastically funny, sprinkled with some cheese, the fun, kung fu, spy movie with a fun story-line will just keep making you say "what is going to happen next?" Bright Blue Gorilla seemed to have a lot of fun making the movie, as much as they seemed to have being in it. Again this movie is a lot of fun, good for some laughs in a time now when laughs are needed.
An infectiously engaging globetrotting romp which somehow manages to incorporate kung-fu action, spy intrigue, and romcom into a musical format. Only the "Gorilla" moviemaking team of Michael Glover and Robyn Rosenkrantz could conceive such a genre smorgasbord - and actually pull it off. While most indie productions are limited to a few single key locations, 36 Husbands leaps seamlessly from Paris to Los Angeles, with stopovers in Frankfurt, Berlin, and the wilds of Australia. Add to this some trompe-l'oeil acts of cinematic deception, and you have a refreshingly upbeat entertainment. Howard Corlett is a particular standout among the energetic cast.
Like all of Bright Blue Gorilla's features, the budget is slightly north of a loaded baked potato, but it's all part of the charm. I've followed the duo for 30 years now, and their music and films won't give your surround sound an explosive workout, but they will leave you smiling. Also suggest earlier efforts like KARATE FILM CAFE, LOSE WITH ENGLISH and GO WITH LE FLO.
