Filmmaker Andy Sidaris – whose work I first encountered back in the days when Joe Bob Briggs had a show on The Movie Channel – made movies that have been boiled down to descriptions like “bullets, bombs, and babes” and “girls, guns, and g-strings,” and now the folks at Encyclopocalypse Publications have set out to give not just one or two Sidaris movies the novelization treatment; they intend to publish novels based on “the whole damn catalog”! They’re starting out with two novelizations that are set to be released on July 29th, with author Brad Carter taking on the task of turning Sidaris’s 1985 film Malibu Express and his 1987 film Hard Ticket to Hawaii into novels.

Encyclopocalypse Publications notes that this Sidaris novelization endeavor is being carried out in collaboration with the filmmaker’s widow Arlene Sidaris, and “it’s all about keeping Andy’s legacy alive in the loudest, sleaziest,...

With titles like Malibu Express, Hard Ticket To Hawaii, Savage …

If you’re going to watch the movies of Andy Sidaris, you’ll require a mental divide of some sort, especially if you’re the sort of person who believes we should all be treated and viewed equally. While we all, as humans, like looking at pretty pictures of people of whatever gender floats our boat, at some point – usually about half an hour in – of one of his movies, even the most dedicated admirer of boobs will be thinking “any time you want to get back to the plot is fine by me”.

Below is the scene that first interested me in the work of Mr Sidaris. If you like it, read on, if you groan, then We Are Movie Geeks has many articles about decent movies to enjoy. Here it is:

The Lethal Ladies Collection honors the strongest and sexiest celluloid heroines who kicked ass in the 1970s. If you saw any of these movies back then, it was probably in a drive-in or at a broken down theater on the outskirts of town…

The DVD set is a triple feature of action-crime-thriller grindhouse film favorites from Shout! Factory’s “Roger Corman Cult Classics” imprint.
