Assault of the Killer Bimbos (1988)

This movie is really bad. My friends comment was that it was taken from a porno-script and made into a very bad T&A movie. In fact, the skin shots are simply there to excite the viewers and probably would have made a far better porno, namely because it actually had a plot. Basically, two girls are framed for murder so they flee to Mexico and have a lot of adventures on the way. They pick up a third girl, are pursued by incompetent cops (in the very real sense) and run into the surfies. In the end, through some clever plan, they trap the real murder, get his money, and go on a beach tour south of the border. Really, this movie is just so bad. Not only are the actors really bad, but one gets the idea that it is made simply for men to gawk at attractive women (who really aren't that attractive anyway). The only message in there is for women, which is you don't need to apply heaps of makeup to look attractive, but I doubt any woman would have the desire to even watch it. The only people that would probably watch it are stupid men that get their jollies out of gawking at naked women on TV. My final comment about this movie is: don't bother. I am sure you are far more intelligent that the average viewing audience of this, and don't degrade yourself by giving it a chance. Don't ask me why I even bothered with it.

With the title "Assault Of The Killer Bimbos", and the premise of two airheaded women on the run from the law, you may think that you'll get a lot of sleazy fun with this movie. Alas, the actual results are somewhat of a letdown.The women in the movie are written to be a likable bunch, and the actresses playing them are a talented bunch, but the screenplay is pretty one-note with them. After a while, these characters seem to just be doing the same thing over and over again. That may be because the screenplay stops advancing the plot after the first twenty minutes or so, and does not start advancing the plot until the last ten minutes.Eddie Deezen does liven things up with his appearance (no movie can be completely bad if it has Eddie Deezen), but he's only in the movie for a few minutes.Also, the screenplay is seriously lacking in sleaze. There's hardly any nudity, no sex, and a minimum amount of PG-style violence.Did this movie inspire "Thelma & Louise"? Probably not, but you never know.

Lonely B-movie addicts seeking jag-off material, yet too timid to rent porn, should probably skip this title. There's hardly any sex or violence, and no used up Scream Queens. It does have three cute, working class girls on the lam from gangsters, red-neck chauvinists, and Eddie Deezen, beating a trail to Mexico. This sure sounds like Thelma and Louise, and there are scenes Thelma shamelessly lifted right out of Bimbos. Considering Bimbos probably had the same total budget as Ridley Scott had for cafe lattes, you have to admire this spunky little movie's quirky feminist ethos and originality. Elizabeth Kaiten is adorable. Three mariachis pretend to play instruments that have no bearing on the music, just like the Monkees. A blast.

You gotta love this movie.In this one, "bimbo" isn't so much an insult as it is a call to arms to just about every woman in it. They band together, seek out their fortunes and make names and faces for themselves against the tyrannical machinations of the men surrounding them.And if they happen to be go-go dancers, all the better.And the cast! Not only is patron saint Kaitan featured, but so are familiar names like Cassavetes and O'Neal (offspring, not fathers), as well as the big mack daddy himself, Eddie Deezen. With his name on the credits, you can be assured of at least one funny moment. Maybe two.In the end, they may "Assault" but these "Bimbos" are basically just good-natured gals looking for a good time. And MAN, do they look comfortable stretched out on the beach.Two stars, but two well-meaning, good-natured stars. If its laughs you want and lots of go-go dancing, not to mention Eddie Deezen, rent this "Killer" movie.
