Fit to Kill

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.

Bottom line, the only reason people watch these is the tits and sex. The stories are grade Z bond episodes. No wait, at least bond is fun to watch, all these Andy Sidaris movies are is sex and more sex. Just watch one, you'll see some enormous cans, terrible acting, but, the nudity makes up for it. Wait a minute, why am I complaining, bring on the tits and beer.

The only reason these make money, flesh. I wonder where the director is, these movies were made in the 80's and 90's. I wish he would make another one with hot chicks who can act like Kate Beckinsale and Clara Peller.

"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)

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, at first I thought this movie was kind of lame. Then! However, the new young actress Naida Albright graced the screen and I was stunned! She was magnificent! Purely gold. Totally made the movie for me. Until she died. Then it sucked again.
