THE STORY:  I really miss the 80's. I really do. I miss them like a hippie misses the 60's. Why? Because my world was simpler then. Music was better. Movies were cheesier...and oh, yes...chicks were easier. Well, at least it seemed that way.

This movie revolves around six women. Heather, the main heroine and her friends win a chance to be on a TV talent show. I have to say now that I call Heather the main heroine only because she's the first one of the girls that we met. She doesn't really do anything in the movie. As a matter of fact, during the movie the leader of the girls seems to be Summer....and suprisingly Summer is the token black character! (and she doesn't get killed, but probably because this isn't a horror movie!)

On the way to Vegas in a cheap car the six girls become stranded when the vehicle breaks down. Too bad for them. There's also a motorcycle gang in the area. A gang that specializes in drug dealing, lead by a guy called Reaper. The gang hides out in a broken down ghost town in the desert and buys and sells coke from a slimy dude named Simon.

The girls seeking help for their dilemma end up being captured by the bikers, but all is not lost. The bikers have taken in a bad-ass named Wade. It comes as little suprise to discover that wade is an undercover police officer seeking to stop the gang. In captivity, the girls also find that they have another ally, Jake. Jake is a weirdo prospector that lives in the ghost town. He's kept his presence secret from the bikers.

Wade befriends one of the biker chicks, a girl called "Skin". but that really doesn't matter. What matters is Wade eventually thwarts one of their drug deals revealing himself to be a cop. He teams up with the girls and Jake manages to scrounge up some guns. this leads to a kind of stupid gunfight. The girls and Wade manage to gun down a bunch of hardened criminal bikers and capture Reaper. Funny, that, since the girls could take care of themselves the night before, but all of a sudden they become amazon-gun-fighting-warriors. Skin was the only biker to escape...she backstabs Reaper and takes all of the drug money and flees.

The epilogue of this movie has the girls winning their talent contest, Wade runs into a reformed Skin and then he goes after Simon. The end.

This movie could have been half as long and still not missed anything. Too much time was wasted in it, especially the scene where the girls, lost in the desert find a pond and bathe in it. They don't get naked and they don't do anything remotely sexy! They just prance around the water in their underwear. Funk Dat! If you're gonna tease us with the premise of scantily clad babes just strip 'em. If you're not gonna show some flesh then get on with the action! But give us something! I think it goes without saying that no one worth mentioning starred in this movie.

Best Lines: "My first name? Grim. Grim Reaper, now get him."- Reaper identifies himself over the phone.

"That was just a little pain...next time I'm going to kick the chicken-farts outta you!"- Wade after he whomps on one of the bikers. I have never heard that expression, "Chicken-farts" before. its hilarious!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?:

1.) This guy Jonathan...this poor guy. In less than sixty seconds his ego must have been blown to hell. Here he is, making the beast with two backs with his girlfriend and the phone on the nightstand rings. Now its bad enough that she answers it, especially when you consider how hard the guy must really be trying...(leading me to believe her fake sounding moans were indeed fake) But to make it even worse, she says to the caller "No, I'm not doing anything." OUCH! How bad does this guy suck in bed? I'd say VERY BAD because the girl then pushes him off and gets up saying "I gotta go!". DOUBLE OUCH!

2.) Evidence that a movie is dated...one of the girls, Linda I think, has aspirations of meeting and marrying Bruce Springsteen. One of her friends reminds her that Bruce is married. I'm not sure but I think it was around 1985 or 86 when the Boss finally got married. (then divorced, but I do believe he did marry someone else afterwards, the girl that was in his "Glory Days" video) Damn, I should know that...I was a big fan of the Boss back then.

3.) Jake's a prospector? Get the flying [unwrite] outta here! In the 1980's? What the hell is he prospecting between Vegas and LA that hasn't been found already? That makes absolutely NO sense! What did this guy tell his High School guidance counselor..."I want to be an old west type of Prospector and find gold in them thar hills?" Yeah, I'd like to see a guy do that in 1960 or so. (Jake doesn't look that old and if this movie was made in the 80's he must have graduated High School in the late 50's or early 60's at best...assuming he went to school.) Why didn't they just make him a drifter and leave the prospector angle out of it? Weren't there any editors for this script?

4.) Talk about ingrates! Wade did risk his neck to save one of the girls the night before! After he betrays the gang during their little drug smuggling plan he returns to the hideout to free the girls. He identifies himself as a police officer but the girls and Jake don't believe him so they shoot him! (He's only wounded). He offers to help them, he's demonstrated the night before that he's not a bad guy, yet they shoot him...after he tells them he'll produce his badge to prove he's a cop! Damn! If I was Wade I'd be pressing charges on the little missy with a gun!

5.) Wade isn't an honest cop...after the bikers are defeated he runs into "Skin" at a bar. She stole all of Reapers ill gotten gains and cleaned herself up. He doesn't seem too upset that she's living large off of the drug money.

NUDITY AND SEX:  being an 80's movie there's a minor amount of bare breasts seen. The sex scene shows nothing, realy. (Except that Jonathan must really be awful in the sack.)

HUH?:  Are there really people alive that are so unable to cope with a minor emergency like these women? The car breaks down on the way to Las Vegas and when the girls decide to look under the hood...hours later, I might add. They're frightened by one little slow moving snake. Fine. They scare the snake off with hairspray (don't ask) but when one of the girls gets the hood open she doesn't do anything but touch a few things and say "Try it now". Of course the car doesn't start. Amazingly, the clicking sounds from the starter don't lead any of the six women to the conclusion that the battery is dead! (Yeah it could also be the starter and a few other things, but I'm trying to keep it simple) Now, I'm no mechanic that's for damn sure, but the battery probably isn't what killed the engine...since Janice noticed that the night before that the "Needle was in the danger zone". I don't know what dial she was looking at but the engine must have overheated. The girls of course ignored that and kept driving, which is a sign of idiocy. It gets better, though. After the car is kaput they see a town in the distance but whine that its so far away. You stupid broads! You can SEE it! It can't be too far away to walk to! Why bitch about it? You don't have any other choice!

I'm going to have rant about the less than average survival skills of our six heroines some more. They happen upon the ghost town where Reaper and his gang hole up. The bikers aren't there when they arrive. The girls first need is water...after all, it is the desert. But all they find is a supply of beans and beer. Needing to hydrate themselves, they decide to drink the warm beer. (WARM beer...ugh...the only good warm beer is in Germany...and it doesn't taste that good warm unless your German!) Ladies, beer is alcohol and will only help to DEhydrate you. I thought was a fairly well known fact. Am I alone in that?

If Wade is an undercover cop then the police obviously know where Reaper and his gang are hiding out. Why not just send a whole bunch of cops to get them? Its not like they needed move evidence for an arrest because Wade destroyed the drugs in order to keep Reaper from getting them. So the police must not need it!

THE TALLY: Decent idea for an 80's movie, badly done. I found myself wanting to play Sim City 3000 rather than finish this movie. If you live to be two hundred  you won't regret missing this movie. Rent it only if you're really desperate to waste some time!
