Don't Even Think of Buying This Bomb, April 18, 2001
By A Customer
I figure there are two reasons why anyone would want to view this film. One: to see a bloody shoot'em-up bank-robbing epic. Leading characters Marjoe Gortner and Lynda Carter, join forces with Lynda's sister and her boyfriend and go on a crime jaunt, a-la "Bonnie & Clyde." No match for "Bonnie & Clyde" however, this shoot'em up fails in all areas. Reason number two one would want to view this film: To catch a view of "Wonder Woman" in a state of undress. Well, you ain'tah going to see that. All you see is a couple quick glimpses of her deflated left breast as she is lying on her back. You have to be fast with the eyeballs to catch the ole nip, or quick on the pause button. Even then, the video quality is so poor that the whole thing is just plain silly. Have you ever paused a video recorded in EP mode? Its all snow. There goes reason number two.The film is released on VHS tape by Goodtimes Home Video, who is notorious for releasing movies in extended play. This results in very poor video quality. The entire movie appears to have been recorded on three feet of tape. The characters appear with an intense sunburn then go to yellowish to grainy. So, even if the film would have been good, you don't get a clear view of places and characters, especially Lynda Carter. Give it a pass and use the eight bucks to get a pizza. I think I'll throw my copy in the trash. What can one expect for eight bucks.

Country Flavored Sexy Action/Romance., October 19, 2001
I really don't think you other reviewers have gotten the point here. This movie is not based on a glance at Lynda Carters Wonderbreasts sans Wonderbra...it's gosh dern* (that's *darn with a country accent) country fun! We open as former Evangelist Marjoe Gortner... whom we will call Lyle from now on, steals a Mustang from a braggart salesman. Naturally he steals the suckers case of sales goods too, and he uses them to pretend HE is a salesman. After hightailing it to the local drive-in, he spies Lynda Carter whom we will now refer to as BobbyJo...waitressing on roller-skates by a car parked nearby. When her annoying 4 legged gal-pal Essie skates over to take the order instead...she is asked to fetch up BobbyJo right quick, and head herself back to jerking sodas. After a few meetings, casual dates, a boring serenade near some rocks by BobbyJo to Lyle, they get busy under the stars, and it's a sexy scene as far as I'm concerned. Not because we see BobbyJo's impressive endowments, but because it's sensually played. Despite that fact it is the same few seconds seemingly spliced together repeatedly. Why? Soon, Lyle convinces BobbyJo to take off with him, and she's game to get away from her flask-swigging nag of a mom who slaps her instead of the usual goodbye kiss as she departs. Unfortnately, BobbyJo won't leave without making it a "cozy little threesome" as Lyle calls it sarcastically when Essie, the aforementioned three legged gal-pal tags along. Too bad, she's really not needed for the plot. However, on the bright side, she's the first casualty when the Bonnie and Clyde action begins. After a few days, and a meeting with a fat old Indian hippie who shares a few magic 'shrooms with the toothsome trio while sitting in a drainage ditch together...(a cutting room floor scene that stayed in the film)...they meet Pearl, BobbyJo's sister, cheap stripper floozy. She's played by Merrie Lynn Ross, who also plays Perry Kings wife in "Class of 1984", another Mark Lester classic. Pearl has a man with no brain played by Jesse Vint, another Lester fave. As I recall he's named Jesse IN the movie too. Anyway, after they all hook up, the fun and shoot-outs begin as they pull bank robberies all over New Mexico until everyone is blown away by Deputy Dawg and his gang of Hillbilly Honcho PO-lice. Everyone except BobbyJo, she gets handcuffed and led away by Mr. Dawg, but not before she sheds some tears on the blanket covering the bodies in front of her, and spitting in the law mans face. I have read that Lynda Carter was ashamed to have made this movie, but I think it has it's good points. I love the country music score that really fits the beautiful New Mexico scenery. The stars have a sexy chemistry together as well. We all know Lynda Carter is gorgeous, and Marjoe, while not the conventionally handsome type...is very appealing none the less. Merrie Lynn Ross as "Pearl" is a perfect bimbo and Jesse Vint, is her perfect compliment, the Himbo. He even wears a black cowboy outfit replete with black hat, just like the villain ought to! Speaking of complimentary, we have Blonde Lyle, Brunette BobbyJo, then Brunette Jesse, Blonde Pearl! I'm convinced... I'm a brunette married to a blonde myself! All that said, this movie has a nice mood, flavor and feel that is not captured too often. Closest film I can think of with this mood is "Thelma and Louise." In that movie, there's no man/woman stuff happening that's positive. At least here, the men actually care about their women! This is an enjoyable adventure in a style that will never be revisited again, so DO give it a chance if you like this genre.
