Hey, let's be honest here. Andy Sidaris is not a master filmmaker. But the guy does really care about his films if you listen to the commentary. Sure, there's a lot of unintentional humor and the intentional humor is groaningly not-funny. The stories are silly, the characterizations broad, and the action mostly a bunch of choppy explosion.

But these films are rarely boring. As a diehard Andy Sidaris fan, I love these gems of low-budget cinema. They make me laugh, make me wonder, and just amuse me. It doesn't hurt that Andy has apparently never heard the term "Gratituous Nudity" because there's a lot of it in here.

And that's a good thing.

Andy Sidaris' drive-in movies of the 1980's and 1990's are, I have to admit, a favorite guilty pleasure of mine. You wouldn't show them at the AFI annual banquet, but while they may be trash, they're entertaining trash put together by a guy who cares about having fun. This set (one of three) contains "Hard Ticket to Hawaii", "Fit to Kill", and the first Sidaris movie I ever saw, "Malibu Express", with shapely blonde B-movie queen Sybil Danning. These films, and the others in the series, are all classics - using the word advisedly :) - of the "girls with guns" genre. Not safe for work, it goes without saying, but get yourself a six-pack and break out the popcorn!

andy sidaris was a cameraman for a.b.c. sports who on his time off would make the best drive-in movies in the world. no deep meaning, just action and some of the hotest women on the planet. malibu express his first is also the least of these films. but hard ticket to hawaii,and fit to kill fall into his james bond style of action and hot girls. like i said no deep meaning but great action and girls. not for the kids but for the kids who never grew up. enjoy this great set (HEE-HEE)!!!!

Was nice could be in Widescreen but. hope to se Andy sidaris on Blu-ray

I doubt anyone connected with an Andy Sidaris film ever rented a tux for the Oscars, but that's not the point. The point is to enter a fantasy world, no closer to reality than Star Wars or Blade Runner. These movies are supposed to be fun. Get some popcorn, turn off the cell, put out the cat and enjoy. Even better if you can open the windows on a sumer night and make out with your sweetie as you watch.

It's been a long wait till these movies were available again. The box set is a great idea. These are fun movies that also throw in a helping flash of flesh from some very pretty girls. If your looking for some not so serious good guy vrs. bad guy movies, (James Bond they aren't) and your old enough to watch then these are for you. Any of the Andy Sadaris collectors sets are a good choice, and will probably have you coming back for more. Enjoy.
