L.A. Bounty, Sybil Danning with Guns

Guns!  Yes!  Shotguns!  Machineguns! Pistols!  Oh, grenades, too! Sybil Danning with guns...as she plays a grouchy and vicious bounty hunter.  Put her in a leather jacket, some nice fitting jeans, cowboy boots, and we're all set.  Oh!  Did I mention Wings Hauser as the psycho she seeks?  This is a good one.  Sybil Danning will mow down so many bad guys.  Today we look at 1989's "L.A. Bounty," directed by Worth Keeter.

Ruger (Danning) used to be a sultry LAPD policewoman.  Then her partner was brutally tortured and murdered by Cavanaugh (Hauser).  Cavanaugh was released on a technicality and Ruger left the force and became a bounty hunter.  A few years later, Cavanaugh comes back to L.A.. He is a big time arms and drugs trafficker now.  His latest scheme has him kidnap a mayoral candidate (Robert Hanley) and hold him for ransom.  Uh oh...the candidate has a hot wife, Kelly (Lenore Kasdorf), who Cavanaugh wants dead.  Seems she saw the face of some of the kidnappers.  They would have murdered her as they chased her around the house in her lingerie but Ruger showed up and shot gunned some of the gang.  Now Cavanaugh wants to kidnap Kelly and torture her to death, too.

Ruger wants Cavanaugh.  She wants to murder him.  Cavanaugh is a psycho and will murder so many in this one, including an entire SWAT team.  Ruger will murder so many of Cavanaugh's men, most with the aforementioned firearms.  Now Ruger is protecting Kelly...but Cavanaugh is smart.  Creep by creep, Ruger murders Cavanaugh's men and associates on her way to the psycho.  You can probably guess there will be a final showdown as the two well-armed killers will square off with the life of the sultry Kelly in the balance.  The ending will be so beautiful.

Will the lingerie clad wife ever get a clue and find a weapon and do something for herself, for once?  Will Ruger get her revenge on the psycho arms and drugs dealer or will he capture her?  Will there be any bazookas, rocket launchers, or tanks in this one, or is Sybil Danning too tough for those tools of war?  Sybil Danning is one of those stars who we want to see.  If her name is in the credits, the movie is a must see.  Give yourself a treat tonight, put on Sybil Danning in "L.A. Bounty."  

The Student Nurses, Sultry Babes in White in Peril

Sultry nurses in white?  Where have they gone? Like everything beautiful in America...gone!  Replaced by the ugliness that now permeates our country.  Gone are the sultry babes who graced the nursing profession in those smart, trim uniforms and nurse's caps.  Replaced with ugly stocky women dressed in baggy pajamas. Today we know nurses as the grouches that complain how over-worked they are.  Like...join the club babes.  You think you're the only ones?  Today we go back to 1970 and meet four lovely babes in "The Student Nurses, " directed by Stephanie Rothman.  

First of all...this may be a difficult film for many to watch. A grisly abortion scene is at the center of it as are shootouts, and death.  Abortion...yawn!  Racism...yawn!  Free love...yawn!  Drugs...yawn!  Ignoring the social commentary of this exploitation film will be easy as we are introduced to four sultry nursing students...clad in white. Sharon (Elaine Giftos) is put forth as the moral compass of the group.  Her drama is she falls in love with a terminally ill patient. What is this babe nurse prepared to do for him?  Yep, she'll end up nude in his bed. Lynn (Brioni Farrell) develops a so-called social conscious and hooks up with a terrorist (Reni Santoni) who loves killing cops. She looks great treating shot terrorists and an occasional needy patient.

We must talk about Priscella (Barbara Leigh).  The babe is nude a lot and wears her white uniform great.  She hooks up with a drug dealer (Richard Rust).  She'll be impregnated by him while tripping on acid. Her gratuitous nude scenes are...well, gratuitous, but impressive.  Now Phred (Karen Carlson), a blonde babe who dates an OB/GYN (Lawrence P. Casey). She'll be nude a lot, sleep with the doctor and his roommate, but...believe it or not...end up the moral compass of this film. You'll see.  The gals look great in their uniforms or out of them. These babes are into pre-marital sex, caring for the sick, and maintaining friendships.  Today, the nursing profession seems geared for yelling at us, complaining, and and taking smoke breaks.

Will all four of our babe nurses survive nursing school and graduate?  Will these babes end up in showers together or in a steamy catfight?  Like stewardesses, nurses in America's Modern Era are largely grotesque beings constantly demanding respect and raises.  Will someone let them in on the secret that they aren't the only underpaid and under appreciated beings out there.  These four babes in this film will conjure up a happier and more pure time when America was not waging war on beauty.  Enjoy "The Student Nurses," and feel free to ignore the drivel passed off as social commentary.    

Pets, Babes in Cages!

Pure 1970s drive-in exploitation...what could be better?  Babes in cages?  Tamed. Whipped. Submissive. Clad in shiny lingerie.  Yes, that is all here, but first we'll have a babe teenager frolicking, nude, and vulnerable.  Sultry dames in bikinis, nudity, lingerie, cleavage friendly blouses...and the men who exploit is what our film is about today.  Our feature today is 1973's "Pets," directed by Raphael Nussbaum.

Bonnie (Candice Rialson) runs away. The big breasted teen runs away from her domineering brother and a gang of African American thugs.  On the run, broke and alone, she meets street wise Pat (Teri Guzman). Pat befriends her but this new friend is into armed robbery.  Ultimately, Pat will rob Bonnie, too.  Still on the run, Bonnie is taken in by a seemingly good soul, the sultry Geraldine (Joan Blackman).  Geraldine is a babe with great cleavage and is an artist (painter).  She invites Bonnie to move in with her so she can use her as a model.  Bonnie does and Geraldine takes advantage of Bonnie's vulnerability to have passionate lesbian sex with her.  Bonnie is not a lesbian and Geraldine is...arguments result and bloody carnage will result...you will see.

Enter art collector, Vincent (Ed Bishop...the Commander Stryker guy from "UFO").  He loves Geraldine's work and loves Bonnie.  Now Geraldine runs to this suave, rich guy.  Uh oh!  Vincent also collects women. Bonnie will be stripped and whipped into submission...then caged.  Now Vincent makes a move to capture Geraldine and cage her, as well.  What follows is unbelievable, and right out of a Max Gunssler novel. We have to give Vincent credit for his ambition...he intends to whip Geraldine's lesbianism out of her.  He also dresses his women in shiny satin lingerie...and believe it or not, Bonnie seems to take to her new lifestyle.  Wait!  Looks can be deceiving.  Vulnerable and helpless Bonnie may not be as vulnerable and helpless as first appeared...you'll see.

For some good old fashioned 70s exploitation, this is the film for you. Women in cages!  Tell me no part of that appeals to you.  Women flaunting cleavage and dressed in shiny lingerie!  Tell me that doesn't appeal to you.  Have some fun without feeling guilty about it.  Next time someone raves about the movie "Oppenheimer," you rave about "Pets."  When they ask you what it was about...tell them and do it proudly. For a prurient good time, see "Pets."
