Having DXed Netflix for not having no more X-Files or anything else....I decided to dip into my personal library. This film may appeal to you if you like perverse action films but some may frown upon it.
Lets get the elephant out of the way. This movie was produced by a gay production team. Like super gay. Not Ironically or humorously gay like Bruno. But legit homosexual alternative lifestyle types.
That said.....this is actually an interestingly delightful film.
You have the redneck guy from Officer and a Gentleman who hung himself over that whore as a Republican Gulf War vet Vice President. You have a saucy, dark haired gamine with 90s bob cut hair as a bitchy, Liberal journalist trying to get her big scoop, and then you have six foot tall warrior bitch goddess Mariel Freaking Star 80 Hemingway as the Veep's Secret Service head. Her backstory is that she was involved in murky Marine Corps business along side Keith David before he got elected VP.
Anyways Air Force Two gets shot down by a SAM over some pacific island that is a mercenary camp for guys trying to overthrow some Micronesian govt. Only Keith David, Mariel Hemingway, and the bitchy girl survive.
The Mercenaries are playing mumbletypeg and pissing on the American flag when they realize they got the VP to use for ransom.
So what does Mariel Hemingway do? She shitcans her pantsuit after murdering some of the militia and puts on OG107s and British jungle camo and takes to murdering the mercenaries with a litany of far out guns like a Para FAL, a Swedish K, and a no shit HK G3 SG1.
Keith David telks the merc honcho that Mariel Hemingway will kick his ass and she does. Along the way she shut up kisses the liberal reporter who is getting emotional and breaks her and puts her rightly in her bottom/femme box.
There is a point of conscience where Mariel Hemingway feels guilty for putting the moves on the girl but David Keith gives her an oorah All American speech about how she deserves her for being so butch and badass.
Eventually after the final boss is killed they are rescued.
And....for a real San Francisco, bidet using production.....they really pulled out all the stops on the armorers side of things. M4s, M16A1s, FALs, SG1s, and a Swedish K.
While there is some intense Lesbianism in this film there is no actual nudity as it is played straight and Mariel Hemingway is all LRRPing about and gunning people down.
The faaaaabulous people may like the casual and encouraged nature of female homosexuality but the Right Wing undertones and violence would turn them off.
The gun nut types may like the gunplay and gore but the "girls kissing girls, not kissing youuuu NO BOYS ALLOWED" nature of the female interaction would be offputting ti them as well.
A walking dichotomy this film is. I myself am conflicted because at the end Mariel gets the girl and is frenching her on the life raft and David Keith is just smiling and all just sitting there. One could say that he was married and just an honest guy. But after a hellish jungle ordeal that spurs 'Nam flashbacks and you see some cougar and some wispy thing just making out and you're in the middle of nowhere.....most guys woukd at least ask to be involved.
BUT perhaps his character loved his wife.
A strange film indeed. But it has Mariel Hemingway with a Swedish K and an SG1. And being competent in her killingsmanship.
I report, you decide.
So if you wish to see this film, check out your local truck stop or paki mart. Or eBay. Only cost me 4 dollars.
