Malibu Express goes to Hawaii..., 6 September 2006
Author: Frank Markland from United States

Hard Ticket To Hawaii has two bimbo travel to Hawaii to fight off drug-lords who are distributing the bad powders on paradise and this shall not stand when our bimbos and meat-heads, Er I mean the DEA are in town looking for a little take out. Hard Ticket To Hawaii brings up a few questions that I was constantly thinking about throughout. Mainly when did the DEA stop using mandatory IQ tests? Why is it that every DEA agent carries at least a double D breast size and why must every woman look like a model? The answer is of course that this is a Andy Sidaris movie and in this type of movie, heroes don't need much intellect to save the world, after all the villains are just as dense. Hard Ticket To Hawaii is surprisingly competent as these things go, I mean it isn't at all any good but it does deliver what it promises. In fact fans of the genre maybe amused by this effort, even if it is for all the wrong reasons. Also the movie interestingly predates the whole Snake On Plane routine as indeed this is the first movie to ever a have a wild snake on a plane.
