Produced by and directed by cult filmmaker Fred Olen Ray (under the pseudonym Nicholas Medina), this television movie leans into a kitschy, satirical take on the 1970s "lifestyle" often associated with glamorous spy-fi. Plot and Narrative Style Share your memories of the film in the comments below

One of the film’s most unintentionally revealing elements is its antagonist: a wealthy businessman who wants to destroy the beach to build a private casino. The film paints him as a monster, yet the heroines—who spend the entire film lounging, eating fast food, and buying new bikinis—are not exactly environmentalists either.

The narrative is merely a clothesline upon which to hang a series of set pieces: mistaken identity gags, slow-motion jogging sequences, foam parties gone wrong, and the inevitable "girls fight the henchmen" climax. The film wears its absurdity on its sleeve. There is no pretension of realism; a scene where the squad attempts to use a tanning bed as a tactical planning room is treated with the same deadpan seriousness as the final raid on the villain’s lair.

Briana Renee, one of the original members of the group, has gone on to pursue a career in modeling and acting. She has appeared in numerous campaigns and TV shows, and has become a successful entrepreneur in her own right.
