Easygoing Roger 'White Bread' Donaldson (the always awesome David Hasselhoff), scruffy Casper 'Bean' Garcia (affable Thomas Rosales Jr.), and smooth Mason 'Blue' Walcott (the excellent and engaging Tony Brubaker) are a trio of bumbling bounty hunters who are assigned to keep track of wealthy witness Annette 'Nettie' Ridgeway (the ever sublime Linda Blair). Complications ensue after Ridgeway gets abducted by evil Columbian drug kingpin Zalazar (nicely played with deliciously slimy zeal by Gregory Scott Cummins).
Writer/director Max Kleven keeps the blithely dopey story zipping along at a brisk pace, stages the thrilling action set pieces with considerable aplomb (lots of stuff blows up), derives plenty of laughs from the amusing sense of amiable no-brainer humor, maintains a likable lighthearted tone throughout, and even sprinkles in some tasty bare female skin for trashy good measure. The choice cast of familiar B-flick faces in colorful small roles adds immensely to the overall entertainment value: John Vernon (in peak growly form as crusty rich dude Mr. Ridgeway), Dick Durock, Bob Minor, George 'Buck' Flower (in his umpteenth drunken bum part), Danny Trejo, Roy Jenson, and the delectable Debra Lamb, who really steams up the screen as a saucy motel clerk wearing nothing but a smile and a towel on her head. Chuck Cirino's funky bumping score hits the right-on bitchin' spot. Anthony Gaudioz's sunny cinematography provides an attractive bright look. A real dippy hoot and a half.
