First in-depth
examination of the psyche of the airhead bimbo ever put on film,
the story of Peaches, Lulu and Darlene, three upward mobile
strippers and waitresses (one's a stripper, one's a waitress, and
one's a stripping waitress), running from the law, taking
hostages, squealing a lot, and making occasional stops in the
desert for disco dancing and makeovers. Except for the ending,
this Bimborama has the exact same plot as "Thelma and Louise,"
and it came out three years earlier. Peaches and Lulu are accused
of the murder of a sleazeball topless bar owner, but they were
really framed by a greasehead who wears black shirts, white ties,
and drinks Greyhounds. The bimbos, the greasehead, and three
gratuitous dopehead surfers all end up in Jalapeno, Mexico,
trying to remember their lines and take off most of their
clothes. No plot to get in the way of the story--an hour and a
half solid of Bimbotics. Eight breasts. One dead body. A 180 on
the Squealing Airhead Decibel Meter. Three high-speed motor
vehicle chases, with one great crash. Catfight. Three hostage
situations. Margarita-gulping. Gratuitous hang-nail repair.
Gratuitous baton twirling. Gratuitous Griffin O'Neal. Gratuitous
Nick Cassavetes. Hair spray Fu. Super Glue Fu. Lingerie Fu. With
Elizabeth Kaitan as Lulu ("I'll never learn to be a go-go dancer-
-I feel so stupid--I should have gone to college"), Mike Muscat
as Vinnie the hitman, Tammara Souza as Darlene the truck-stop
waitress ("Go-go dancers? Ain't that wee pit passe?"), Christina
Whitaker as the redhead head bimbo, tough as a 50-cent steak.
