After what they heard they realize that the two body guards that were in the other room picked up on the red light from Mike's equipment.

Now there are several questions that need to be answered. Did the Bodyguards fine what they were looking for? Did the police get to Brooke's house in time? The finally question? What does this have to do with the people in Landry Texas Now, a few thoughts of my own about this movie. I thought this picture was great right from the beginning. ? I thought the action and the suspense of the movie was great because it kept you on the edge of your sit. The plots were set up very well and the rest of the movie fell right into place. There's plenty of action and drama from beginning to end in this picture. However the reason I bought this movie Lynda Carter! This was Lynda first movie following the Wonder Women Series and she was fantastic. Not only can she sing well but she also has great acting skills also.I bought this movie because of one person and that was Lynda Carter. Lynda was fantastic in her role and she was as gorgeous as ever. Lynda looks good in whatever she wears including the jeans, the bathrobe and the satin slip wear. This was Lynda first movie following the Wonder Women Series and she was fantastic. Not only can she sing well but she also has great acting skills also. I give this movie 10 weasel stars just on Lynda Carter's beauty alone. I hope that we see more of Lynda Carter in movie roles because she's simply gorgeous.
