Beach Babes from Beyond (1993)
If you are going to watch only one "Babes in Bikini" movie, this is it.
Is this a bad movie?
Of course, what were you expecting from a movie called "BEACH BABES FROM BEYOND"?
It is a "BABES in BIKINI" movie and has no pretensions of being otherwise. Given, this is not "A ROOM WITH A VIEW" or "SCHINDLER'S LIST." If you wanted a film like "A Room With a View" then you would not be looking at Beach Babes from Beyond. But if you are looking for a good Babes in Bikini movie with almost no plot, this is the one for you. This flick delivers on what it promises and then some. It is pure 100% adolescent fun.
There were lots of BABES in and out of bikinis. The movie was quite funny and great to watch. These were some of the most beautiful women I have ever seen on home video.
Every high school kid should watch at least one bad movie like this. This is actually one of the most memorable movies I have ever seen. So unashamedly, I say again...If you are going to watch only one "Babes in Bikini" movie, this is it.
Killing Time (1998)
Must see Assassin Movie---Gorgeous Assassin, Realistic Action, Fast-Paced Storytelling
Kendra Torgan is far more attractive than either Anne Parillaud (La Femme Nikita) or even Bridget Fonda (Point of No Return). It is a shame that she has not done any other films.
As Maria, she is simply the hottest cold-blooded killer around. Speaking Italian through most of the film only adds to her mystery and allure. Her pistols do most of the talking for her. Admittedly she is not a well rounded killer. She does not seem to have any martial arts skills. Heck, she can't even do a push up. But she is gutsy, smart and not afraid to shoot first, then shoot again.
There is just enough firepower to keep your blood pumping and no more. This movie does not need to resort to Hollywood explosions to keep people interested.
No tricky storylines or cop-out Deus ex Machina endings in this movie. This story moves quickly and not a minute is wasted. The action and changes in moods are paced by a great soundtrack. All the original music and the alternative songs add a haunting beauty to the film.
If you like the Female Assassin genre, this is a must see.
Nikita (1990)
Watch the Subtitled Version if you can.
This movie is powered by the rivetting action and the great drama.
Unfortunately, there is something lost in the translation. The American dubbing fails to convey the pain and emotions you feel when Anne Parillaud speaks and cries in her own voice.
Anne Parillaud is quite attractive in her French waif kind of way. The contrast is quite stark when you compare her to Kendra Torgan (Killing Time) who plays a strong and seductive female Italian assassin.
Still, if you had to watch only one Female Assassin movie, this would be it.
