Hard Ticket to Hawaii (1987)

How bad is it? It's bad in many, many glorious ways.
Should you see it?If you're going to see only one Andy Sidaris film - and that's a good plan - make it this one.

This may be the worst (and therefore best) of Andy Sidaris' films. The female agents move from California to Hawaii to investigate drug smugglers. Along the way, they encounter a giant (and laughably fake) snake, fed on cancer-ridden, radioactive toxic rats; I found myself saying, "Poor snake," and then "Poor rats!" I doubt that that was the idea. The revolving door of actors playing one of the Abilene cousins, Rowdy this time, gets its best actor with Ronn Moss, whose best scene has him stopping a guy on a skateboard with a bazooka. At point blank range. There's tons of toplessness, mostly by Hope Marie Carlton and Donna Speir, who I think are the best duo (duos?) Sidaris had.
