Another cheap and silly thriller from the Andy Sidaris stable, this one actually made by his son. Julie Strain, the pneumatic scream queen of the 1990s, co-stars. The story is about the usual wooden good guy agents battling criminals and at the same time uncovering a cache of civil war gold, leading to more action. The only emphasis is on pin up models wearing very little, and it's all rather silly, although fairly well shot for its budget.

Plot summary
In a suicide mission during the American Civil War, two soldiers discover gold which will bury on the root of a big tree, somewhere deep in the woods. More than a century later, three Federal agents in the same forests are on a mission to bust a drug-manufacturing operation run by the ruthless criminal kingpin, Santiago, and his men; however, an unexpected complication will lead to their suspension. Out of sheer luck, the operatives unearth the hidden treasure while on vacation--and from that point on--trouble ensues, as Santiago along with a duplicitous corrupt agent and his deadly personal assassin, Jewel Panther, will hunt them down, one by one. But, can brute force alone stop the expert and lethal agents?

Welcome Julie Strain to the Sidaris Universe!
Noticeably, this movie doesn't start on a beach or with hot tubs. No, we're back in the Civil War, as we learn the tale of hidden gold. And while three agents are on a mission to stop some drug lords, they find that gold. However, thanks to a corrupt agent, a ruthless criminal kingpin is attempting to hunt them all down.
Welcome to the first movie directed by Drew Sidaris, who has moved up from working on the second unit for several of the Malibu Bay films we've covered already this week.
Seeing as how Fit to Kill was supposed to be the end of the series, this starts everything off brand new. This has some of the elements - and actors - of Andy Sidaris' films, but everyone has pretty much new characters. Bruce Penhall plays Chris Cannon, Mark Barriere is Mark Austin, Suzi Simpson (January 1992 Playboy Playmate of the Month) is Becky Midnight and Tanquil Lisa "Tai" Collins(who appeared in the October 1991 issue of Playboy and would go on to write for Baywatch) plays Ava Noble.
On the bad side, we have the returning Rodrigo Obregon as Santiago and Julie Strain as Jewel Pather.
This movie's follow-up, The Dallas Connection, can either be seen as a sequel or remake. Strain, Obregon and Cassidy Phillips are back as villains but play different characters and the heroes work for a totally different agency. Strain plays Cobra in that film and is revealed to be a L.E.T.H.A.L. agent, a role which she'll play in the rest of Sidaris' movies.
Julie Strain really makes this one watchable. I'm saying that not just because of her looks. She understands exactly the type of movie she's in and makes it work. While Andy only produced this film, it doesn't stray far from the formula.
could be made in VHS era, perfect example of T&A flick
A bit strange to see this is made in 1993 and doesn't come out ofthe eighties. Maybe that's the reason I just came across this T&A flick.
This is a perfect example of a flick were acting isn't the main thing. You make a cheap flick with bad acting, a lot of T&A, some action and a hell of a sleeve to put on your VHS release so it would be picked up easy at a rental shop.
Starts okay and the use of yellow lettering in the opening credits do say enough, this is a B-movie. Well I said starts okay, but after 1 minute the horse scene takes ages and when we move over to nowadays, the attack at the house, so cheesy. Standing in front of a door with glass and not be seen, really. And when the chick comes in the first fight scene, OMG.
Yep, y ou guessed it, this is one for the boys full of stuffed tits easy to spot. Two Playboy playmates are in it, do I need to say more?
Today this kind of flick can't be made anymore, politically incorrect, girls are just used for sex and need to be sexy. If you come out of the grindhouse era pick it up, if ypu are a millenium, skip it.
