Bullets, Bombs, and Babes – The films of Andy Sidaris Anonymous 04/27/25 (Sun) 12:40:00 No.2122366

Andy W. Sidaris (1931–2007) made a series of twelve low-budget action films from 1985 to 1998 with Playboy Playmates in the lead roles. He referred to these as his tripple B films – Bullets, Bombs, and Babes. Sidaris won an Emmy for his sports coverage before he began writing and directing independent action/comedy skinflicks with models; Dona L. Speir, Hope Marie Carlton, Roberta Vasquez, Julie Strain, Julie K. Smith, and Cynthia Brimhall.

These films are honestly some of the most entertaining action films I have seen; they are well-made with beautiful actresses/models, plenty of nudity and action. Going by his œuvre and the interviews, Andy was a national treasure.

All twelve films have been released on DVD, and on Blu-ray by Mills Creek, all of them packed with bonus material.

Okay so I watched these up until Guns. Hard Ticket to Hawaii is the only one that is transcendent. Lightning in a bottle. All the rest are crap.

I like Malibu Express a lot, and I think the films are very solid up till Savage Beach.

While not as glorious as Hard Ticker to Hawaii, I think the rest are better and more enjoyable than most recent action films. The look of the films he made in the 1980s just have that extra appeal to me. Hard Ticket to Hawaii brought everything together perfectly; it is undeniably his magnum opus.

I will say that his fascination with miniature airplanes and remote controlled cars could have been reined it at times. Arlene could have tardwrangled him on that point.

Pat Morita plays the villain in Do or Die, and R. J. Moore, the son of Bond actor Roger Moore, plays the villain in Fit to Kill.

Not yet seen his 1973 film Stacey!. Heard it is a lot like Malibu Express but with a woman as the protagonist. He was working on another film by the time he died, and there is some artwork for a comic book floating around out there.
