Watch d these shows growing up and it's even more campy and funny now. The special effects are so bad that it's funny. Mindless fun with beautiful babes.

I bought the 12 DVD set and watched all the movies back to back over one weekend to get a sense of each movie and how they fit together. The movies are in essence a serialized soap opera. The plot involves undercover agents working for an unnamed federal government agency. In the first eight movies the main characters are the same and played by the same actresses and actors. It was a little distracting at first and then humorous to realize some of the actresses or actors playing the antagonist in one film, return in the next film to be on the good side as a different character, much the way an ensemble play may change the roles played by the actresses or actors as they travel the country. Erik Estrada (of the 1970's show CHiPs) plays a bad guy character in one episode and a good guy character in the very next episode. By far the best written, acted and directed of the 12 movies is the one with Pat Morita. His presence seemed to bring the acting level up a bit. The writing is generally sub-par, even for a B Movie series. It gets better toward the middle and by the last episode has degenerated to be the worst written of them all. As you watch all the movies you will notice some scenes get re-used over and over again. The two women getting into the Cessna at the Molokai airport, the American Airlines jet landing in Texas, just to name a few. I fault the director for not recognizing the B movie genre. He thought because of the Penthouse Pets as actresses he was making a T&A film, of which there is plenty, but it is tired. In the last film of the series two actresses take to the ocean to snorkel, when suddenly they decide to remove their tops. The one in the bikini, okay as a T&A film I can buy that but the woman in the one piece swimming around with the top half of her swimsuit flailing about her waist made no sense. If you want them topless, then put them both in bikinis as they enter the water. This bordered on stupidity. For the price ($7.99) the 12 movie set is worth it for the campiness, bad acting, T&A and poorly written dialogue. Erik Estrada and Pat Morita both brought a familiarity and respectability along with their ability to act to those movies in which they appeared. Overall, these movies are below average B movies.
