Double agent Picasso Trigger is assassinated in Paris by double-crossing bad guy Miguel Ortiz. Then Ortiz begins eliminating agents of The Agency who were involved in his brother's death. The Agency (belatedly) springs into action to stop Ortiz' heinous activities. The usual gunplay, romance, and nifty toys with bombs ensue.

Dona Speir confessed in an interview (DVD bonus) she didn't understand the movie after reading the script and she figured it out only after she watched the final product 4 times. She isn't the only one, I suppose. I blame this confusion on the villain who keeps hidden most of the time so you wonder who's actually fighting whom and why. The killers' messages are quite poetic: "The ones with the flower have been scattered this hour", one writes to notify the others that his job his done. "I've got a black belt in shotgun", another lady says after she shot a kung fu fighter. The Dutch DVD I've got uses the tagline "Moorden is een vorm van kunst" ("Killing is an art form", I think it translates) - and these cynical tidbits just to demonstrate "Picasso Trigger" is somewhat more violent (and with less nudity) than other movies of the Lethal Ladies series. I loved the exploding boomerang as a weapon or when 1 of the heroes fires about 20 times at 1 bad guy and misses him every time. Playboy's Roberta Vasquez in her first appearance for Andy Sidaris slips into a pair of ripped jeans, showing beautiful legs, beautiful dark eyes, beautiful... everything! Note: this is the 3rd out of my 12 reviews for the works of Andy Sidaris, in chronological order.
I have to agree with the previous comment, It was late and nothing else was on. I couldn't help but watch this horrible movie! It was unbelievably dated (which previously mentioned.. could not be helped) but MAN.. Was it horrible! It's like a car wreck. You know that you shouldn't watch but you cant help it! I live in Hawaii and this just makes me laugh! I love how the girls all try to be sexy and the soft core porn is hysterical. What cracks me up the most is that they are saying that they are on Maui.. when they are really on Oahu. The wardrobing is also another comedic factor. But then again.. that can't be fixed. I have no idea what they were thinking when this waste of time was made!
What were they thinking when they made this? I happened to roll over and was unable to sleep one night at about 2AM and this movie was playing on cable. It wasn't just awful because it was so dated (which of course can't be helped), but the acting was bad, the special effects, the score, the storyline -- need I go on? For as bad as it was though, I couldn't turn it off because I kept watching to see how bad it could get. The topper was when Steve Bond turned his crutch into a shotgun and then a missile launcher! And then the corny bad wrap-up scene. This movie is funny -- but not intentionally. Watch it only for laughs at how bad it is.
It's not his best work, but I still don't feel like I wasted my rental.It drags on in some parts, and most of the hand to hand fight scenes are really unconvincing.On the plus side, it has some tricks and twists that an audience member really wouldn't see coming. No Julie Strain, but Donna Spier and Roberta Velasquez look really good in most of their shots. :)Still, the nudity, while gratuitous, isn't very common in occurrence. The scenes where the characters are in swimsuits are nice, I guess. I have to admit they look pretty good.It really didn't flow very well, and it had some scenes that were just plain boring.Overall, I still like Sidaris' work, because it's the best you'll ever get in this kind of film work, I think, but he's done better.
