Guns [1990]

It's been a minute since we've had a good bad movie so we decided to gamble on a sure thing: Andy Sidaris.  We were amused by the simplicity of the title of "Guns." While this was a distinctly Andy Sedaris film in every way from the awkward dialogue to the scantily clad government agent women, we played Andy Sidaris bingo but we didn't win. We did get a lot of the board covered overall but it was slightly less over the top than usual. The movie even had some names in it: Erik Estrada and Danny Trejo (who seems to have been the same age for about 30 years). The plot isn't especially important but it's mostly about getting the government agents out of Hawaii so that Erik Estrada can transport guns from China. There's some 80s typical insensitivity to transgender women, ninjas in a gym, a scantily clad singer who's apparently also a government agent and sings the theme song, sex on a motorcycle, and some A+ bad fashion (one outfit was literally fringe booty shorts, a bejeweled bra top and vest, a leopard print fanny pack, and pastel pink lipstick; and this was a look you wear to blow up a boat). It also had frequent Sidaris star Dona Spier whose mother is a Carson City DA who gets kidnaps and she has to rescue her. That's about it. Things happen and it's fun and stupid. It was a nice palette cleanser after a string of unnotable films.
