Picasso Trigger

Gorgeous brunette with wet-suit zipped way down her cleavage takes a spear gun bolt through her heart. As she's embracing a guy and about to stab him, another bikini clad woman shoots her in the back with the spear gun, and the bloody tip of the spear emerges from between her breasts.

In an earlier scene, same girl is topless.

They don't show that stuff anymore.

Lot's of gorgeous women as always with Sidaris films

Bare bosoms are out nowadays in movies accept in the home video only segment

Let's just cut to the chase straight away here and say upfront that the only sane reason to watch an Andy Sidaris film is to see beautiful playmates get naked and shoot guns. What other reason is there? This one has a convoluted plot-line that I quite honestly can't be bothered to describe. What I will say is that the story is not exactly its strong point. Needless to say, as per Sidaris other films, there are a lot of explosions and a lot of feeble gadgets. But the action scenes are so lacklustre that you will be hard pressed to care. Honestly, when you consider the awesome bevy of beautiful babes that Sidaris improbably had at his disposal, you can't help but wish the films had a little more imagination or life about them.

This one is neither one of his best, nor is it one of his worst but it's pretty much essentially the same as all of them. The only true differentiating factor that I can ever discern is which ladies do we have and is there a lot of nudity? All other aspects merge into one as far as his filmography is concerned. This one's chief selling point is Dona Speir, who is very nice indeed. And, yes, she strips off a few times, along with several of her other female co-stars. So, consequently, the film does have some entertainment value. Other than that, it has quite a good title.

While never having heard about this 1988 movie titled "Picasso Trigger" from writer and director Andy Sidaris, I opted to sit down and watch it here in 2022, as I had the opportunity to do so after having seen the 1988 movie "Hard Ticket to Hawaii".

And I will say that "Picasso Trigger" definitely is right in the spirit and essence of the "Hard Ticket to Hawaii" movie, so if you enjoyed that one from Sidaris, then you will also enjoy this 1988 movie. I will admit that the movie was watchable enough for what it was, which is some typical late 1980s cheese, for better or worse.

It was actually fun to see the majority of the cast from "Hard Ticket to Hawaii" return to reprise their roles and characters in "Picasso Trigger", so it made for some sense of continuity. It should also be said that the acting performances in "Picasso Trigger" were adequate enough.

Visually then "Picasso Trigger" was an okay movie. I mean, it wasn't the best of special effects, and the usage of painfully obvious dummy stand-ins whenever an explosion was imminent was just hilarious.

If you enjoy 1980s cheesy action flicks, then you will definitely enjoy "Picasso Trigger".

My rating of "Picasso Trigger" lands on a five out of ten stars.

It's not his best work, but I still don't feel like I wasted my rental.

It drags on in some parts, and most of the hand to hand fight scenes are really unconvincing.

On the plus side, it has some tricks and twists that an audience member really wouldn't see coming.

No Julie Strain, but Donna Spier and Roberta Velasquez look really good in most of their shots. :)

Still, the nudity, while gratuitous, isn't very common in occurrence. The scenes where the characters are in swimsuits are nice, I guess. I have to admit they look pretty good.

It really didn't flow very well, and it had some scenes that were just plain boring.

Overall, I still like Sidaris' work, because it's the best you'll ever get in this kind of film work, I think, but he's done better.

Just watching the credits for Sidaris' flicks reveals where he gets his cast. Everyone is from Playboy, Penthouse, or Playgirl. What the heck, everyone wants a chance to act. At least none of these folks gave Sidaris any headaches about doing nude scenes!

The movies are popcorn, not meant to be taken to seriously. Just sit back and watch a bunch of occassionally naked women and guys kill some nefarious bad guys.
