I don't want to call writer/director Andy Sidaris a genius but that guy knew what he was doing and he did it well. He took dreamy gals and put them in beautiful locations and made movie magic. "Savage Beach" is another solid entry in his filmography. Of course, I would have never been able to watch Sedaris' movies with my mother. But if I'm looking for a movie with my friends, "Savage Beach" is a perfect choice. Honorable mention: all of the girls.

Once again writer/director Andy Sidaris delivers his patented hugely entertaining mix of plentiful yummy gratuitous female nudity, bloody violence, extremely variable acting, big splashy explosions, and rough'n'tumble martial arts fights in this fun tale of federal agents Donna (buxom blonde fox Dona Speir) and Taryn (adorable sprite Hope Marie Carlton),who find themselves trapped on a remote tropical island with a hidden gold treasure on it that's guarded by a mysterious Japanese warrior (well played by Michael Mikasa in cruddy old age make-up). Naturally, a band of vicious no-count villains arrive on the island in search of the gold. Speir and Carlton display a winningly easy'n'breezy natural screen chemistry and, not surprisingly, look spectacular both in and out of their skimpy outfits (a skinny-dipping scene featuring these lovely ladies enjoying a merry frolic in the ocean rates as the definite highlight here). Moreover, Sidaris shows some genuine filmmaking skill with an impressive dramatic flashback sequence towards the end and keeps the plot moving along at a constant snappy pace. John Aprea contributes a solid turn as dashing no-nonsense Captain Andrews, Bruce Penhall makes for a likable male lead as the amiable major Bruce Christian, Rodrigo Obregon snarls it up effectively as the nefarious Martinez, and smoldering brunette porn starlet Teri Weigel steams up the screen with her sultry portrayal of Martinez's enticing moll Angelica. Ubiquitous 80's Fu Mancho dude Al Leong pops up playing one of his trademark nasty baddies, sports a ponytail, and even has a sizable amount of dialogue. Howard Wexler's bright cinematography gives the picture a glimmering sunny look. Gary Stockdale's funky score hits the bumping spot. An enjoyable outing.

Dona and Taryn are back again, this time flying missions as federal drug enforcement agents based in Hawaii. After a successful drug bust, they are asked to fly vaccine from Molokai to Knox Island. However, they soon run afoul of nefarious forces in the Philippine government and some double agents at home looking for a sunken ship from World War II that is loaded with gold.

Meanwhile, a storm forces Donna and Taryn to land their plane on the island where a Japanese soldier and samurai named the warrior still thinks that World War II is going on.

Michael J. Shane shows up as Shane Abilene, the next member of the family to be in a Sidaris film. He's joined by Teri Weigel (April 1986 Playboy Playmate of the Month, adult film star and victim in Predator 2),Al Leong (an Asian actor who continually shows up in films, including Big Trouble in Little China),Lisa London (H.O.T.S.) and making her last Sidaris film appearance, Patty Duffek (May 1984 Playboy Playmate of the Month) who plays Pattycakes for the third time.

None of this makes any sense at all. Are you watching these movies for them to make sense? No. You are watching them to have fun and probably see naked people in hot tubs at least every three minutes. I won't cast any shame on you.

If you like Savage Beach, good news. Eventually, Andy Sidaris makes his way back here. I know I'll be around for that.
