Viewing Notes
Pretty damn good flick save for one terrible bedroom / love scene. The late Jillian Kesner kicks ass even tho it seemed obvious from the opening fight sequence they were gonna get her naked at some point. Sure enough she has a topless fight scene! Always fun to see Vic Diaz and he’s great here.
Amusing that Darby Hinton is a bad guy (he’s the lead in Sidaris’ MALIBU EXPRESS). Love that his character name here is Chuck Conner. This was good movie to follow MODEL BY DAY bc outside of a few technical stunts, Kesner does all her own fighting. I don’t think she was a practitioner of any sorts so it’s impressive to see this young woman kicking and punching these goons. She’s a beautiful gal and more known for her tv work; she’d drop in sitcoms as a guest star. I saw that she passed away in 2007 at age 58. I don’t think she does action in any of her other genre work so this is neat to watch her beat up dudes.
