User Reviews

Enjoyed This Film

Found this film very entertaining with lots of Comedy, Drama, Murder and the finding of a gold mine. Chistina Applegate,(Kathy), "King of the Hill" plays the role of a gal whose boyfriend winds up in prison for stealing and meets up with another gal, Elizabeth Peria,(Carmen) "The Lost City", who has a husband and a boy and her husband is also in prison. These two gals decide they are going to move closer to the prison in order to make their visits a lot easier. These two gals run down on their luck and decided to sell their bodies for some money in order to eat and so they decide to go to a Fire Statiion and gather up a few John's. This film will take you in all directions, and keeps you guessing just how the film will finally end. The ending is rather disappointing, but the film did entertain but really was not the greatest film to watch. There was a brief appearance of Burgess Meredith,(Barney) "Rocky V", playing the role as a very old bent over Gold Prospector.
