The usual DEA gang (referred to in this film as "The Secret Service", but, no, that's a different government org) are assigned to guard a party, wherein a Chinese businessman, before he retires, is planning to present a huge diamond to a pair of Russian diplomats. It was stolen by Nazis during WW2, taken to South America, and fell into the hands of the Chinese along the way. DEA nemesis "Martin Kane" wants to steal it to discredit both the US, the Russians, and the DEA. But his former business associate, Chinese gangster "Poe", sends a female assassin to kill Kane, because of his failure in the previous movie (HARD HUNTED). Kane gets the assassin, "Blue Steele", to help him, but it's a shaky allegiance, and by the 2nd half of the movie, EVEN I began to get confused by the plot. (I know, this is an Andy Sidaris film. What am I doing paying attention to THE PLOT?)
Series regulars Dona Speir, Roberta Vasquez, Cynthia Brimhall, Ava Cadell, Bruce Penhall, Michael J. Shane, Tony Peck, Sandra Wild & Carolyn Liu all return as the group of DEA / Secret Service agents. Geoffrey Moore (Roger's son!) makes his 2nd appearance as "Martin Kane". The weird thing is, he acts like he never met Dona's character before, but he did, 2 movies earlier, EXCEPT, in that film, "Kane" was played by Pat Morita. (SCRIPT EDITOR!!) Chu Chu Maleve & Richard Cansino make their 3rd appearances as a pair of IDIOTIC comedy assassins. When they show up, the film had been so serious, their comic antics felt totally out-of-place, yet, they were both so aggressively STUPID, I found myself really laughing during their scenes. Especially when a toy store manager cons them into thinking a pair of Japanese cities are really in America, and later, one of them says, "That's the last time I buy American-- next time, I buy Italian!"
A real surprise was the subplot where the gem containing the tracker is damaged, then taken to a jewelers, then stolen... and one of the robbers was none other than "Rico Rossi" himself, Nicholas Giorgiade. Sidaris had been hiring this guy for 20 YEARS, ever since STACEY in 1973 (which I just got on an excellent bootleg DVD-R from "j4hi.com").
I've already noticed that lead hero "Donna Hamilton" (her last name not revealed for the first few films) was clearly a tribute to author "Donald Hamilton", creator of MATT HELM. Now, in this film, they reveal that the recurring baddie's full name is "Martin Kane", a tribute to MARTIN KANE PRIVATE EYE, a tv series that ran 241 episodes from 1949-1954!
At this point, more and more, the amount of nudity with LARGE-breasted girls seems to be more important than the stories. For myself, personality still matters, and for the last few films, I have to say, Cynthia Brimhall's "Edy" has become my favorite character in these things. She not only has an incredible bod, she's also REALLY nice. Overall, I enjoyed FIT TO KILL more than the 2 previous films combined.

The BIG Diamond Caper!
A milestone in American Cinema
I was unsure whether or not Andy Sidaris could repeat his success with the cinematic hit "Malibu Express." With his film Fit to Kill he has proved that Sidaris is a serious filmmaker and not just a one-shot director. The plot written by Sidaris, which was ungratefully passed up by the Academy, is a complex screenplay involving many unseen twists and turns. The main characters composed work for a sexually based radio station known as KSXY. Cleverly, KSXY is actually their secret headquarters. In "Fit to Kill" they confront their long-time nemesis Kane, who is trying to steal one of Russia's most prized diamonds. A well-written screenplay is not all, excellent acting by the cast helps to ensure this film as a cult classic. Panned by the critics and the box office, this film will be appreciated in years to come. It is now suffering the same fate as Clockwork Orange and Taxi Driver did, but in the future will undoubtly become recognized. I am disappointed no critic circles have recognized Andy Sidaris's trademark filmmaking. The costumes, the special effects, all help to compliment this already beautiful piece of filmmaking. It may do you best to ignore the dismal 3 rating on this film and go out and rent it for yourself. My personal rating is 10/10. The drama is as thick as the blockbuster Runaway Bride, and the action better or equal to the cinematic masterpiece Last Action Hero. Andy, keep up the good work.
Andy Sidaris is a hack fraud
His movies might've had an appeal to them in the VHS era when people could not look at nude women online but in the internet era they have no appeal whatsoever. One movie of his that I enjoyed was Hard Ticket to Hawaii but I regret watching it and retroactively hate it. The reason I must watch more of them is because my friend has a weird fascination with Sidaris' movies which I cannot comprehend. The only redeeming quality of this is the legendary Gerald Okamura, apart from that it's a bunch of mumbo jumbo with boobs and poorly shot action scenes. I'm sure I'll watch more of Andy's movies and I'm sure I'll hate all of them, I'm just glad they're not making anymore.
