The Plot: Do or Die begins with Federal Agents Donna (Dona Speir) and Nicole (Roberta Vasquez) attending a Luau on the islands. During the Luau they’re pulled aside by a thug who introduces them to Masakana Kaneshiro aka Kane aka Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita). As Kane rambles on about putting six teams of hit-men on the girls, his thug plants a bug on Donna’s wristwatch allowing him to track her whereabouts at all times (unless of course she decides to change her watch as women often do when changing clothes).
After the girls narrowly escape the first team of assassins, it’s off to Las Vegas to meet with an agency associate. The girls arrive at the Quarter Scale Association Air Show (a model airplane show held in the Las Vegas desert) and meet up with an associate who gives them a very special deadly weapon, an RC helicopter armed with missiles. Once the helicopter is neatly packed away, the girls head off (and again, narrowly escape death from a second assassin team) to meet the rest of the agency members.
Once the agency team assembles in Louisiana, we learn that Mr. Miyagi’s plan is to control the American Stock Market by killing Federal Agents (OK, I’m not sure how one controls the stock market by doing this, but I’ll go with it). Back in Louisiana, more teams of assassins arrive only to die attempting to kill the large breasted agency girls. At this point, the team is off to subdue Mr. Miyagi so he never again gets out of control (thank God, I was worried for the stock market).
The Takeaway: I’ll get right to the point, Do or Die isn’t a very good film in terms of plot or subtext. The plot is paper thin and unlike many of Sidaris’ earlier films, there are no real twists or turns to be had. In short, Do or Die is very linear in nature. Technically speaking, Do or Die is one of Sidaris’ better films as it moves along at a nice steady pace and is edited to near perfection. There are two scenes that stand out as near ‘art’. The first is the pool scene with Donna (Speir) and Estevez (Estrada). Sidaris directs this scene to near perfection as the colors and reflections of the water lend the scene to Picasso-like art. The second scene is with Shane (Shane) and Atlanta (Stephanie Schick aka Pandora Peaks). While these two simply remove their clothes and make love under a waterfall, Sidaris uses the waterfall to his advantage and slows down the speed of the camera capturing the moment in a surreal way.
Film Facts: Do or Die was written and directed by Andy Sidaris and was produced by Arlene Sidaris. The film was distributed by Malibu Bay Films and was released in 1991. Erik Estrada first appeared in films such as The Cross and the Switchblade (1970), Chrome and Hot Leather (1971) and The Ballad of Billie Blue (1972). In the mid-70s Estrada moved to a TV career and made appearances in shows such as Hawaii Five-O , Emergency and Kojak . Estrada soon landed the role of Officer Francis Llewellyn Poncherello in TVs C.H.I.P.S. , where he played a CHP officer. C.H.I.P.S. ran for 6 years and was cancelled in 1983.
The stunningly beautiful Ava Cadell (Ava) appeared in films such as The Ups and Downs of a Handyman (1975), Spaced Out (1979) and Commando (1985). Dr. Ava Cadell is currently a practicing sex therapist who has authored numerous books on the subject and can be heard on her own radio show ‘Sex Drive’ (FYI – she gets naked in Do or Die and looks stunning). The other beauty in Do or Die is Stephanie Schick aka Pandora Peaks (that’s right, the bigger the better) . Although now retired from the adult entertainment industry, Peaks posed for over 100 adult magazines in her day and also appeared in the Demi Moore driven Striptease (1996) as stripper Urbanna Sprawl. And I must say, her peaks are the peak of Do or Die .

Thoughts In My Head: – If you want someone dead, just kill them on the spot – Awesome, Nicole’s walking cane doubles as a missile launcher – Edy, please stop singing, no, seriously – Oh my, the new agent has HUGE delicious boobs – This new girl is gonna knock herself out running – Mr. Miyagi gets a happy ending massage, simply awesome – Screw the security watch, lets fuck – Don’t you have to take your pants off to have intercourse – Baseball bombs, only in an Andy Sidaris film – Who cares about standing watch, lemme have a look at those watermelons – I love 80s hair styles – That’s it, nail her in the pool Poncherello – Mr. Miyagi’s choice in assassins is terrible – How convenient, a baseball bat in the middle of the woods, OK… – Death by RC helicopter is the only way to go
Favorite Badass or Badass Moment: The use of the missile equipped RC helicopter Favorite Boobs or Boobs in a Scene: It’s a tie! Both Ava and Atlanta’s boobs are delicious Favorite Death Scene: The ninjas. After all, they’re at the receiving end of missile equipped RC helicopter
Boob Count: 14 pair Body Count: 14
IMDB Rating: 2.7 / 10 My Rating: 4.5 / 10
Final Thoughts: Despite the paper thin plot, Do or Die works for a couple of reasons, Ava and Atlanta’s boobs, the missile equipped RC helicopter and the fact that this schlocky action oriented film is pure b-movie entertainment.

I also think they were shot quite beautifully, especially the sparkles in the pool scene! Never tell Edy to stop singing though. When she sings she is usually half naked and very sexy! I suggest you adjust the volume instead ha ha ha Reply Mike on June 11, 2012 at 12:59 pm said: Thanks for commenting on the review sdmfcrazyhorse. I very much appreciate it. Yeah, Andy had a couple moments of brilliance in an otherwise average Sidaris film. And great point about turning down the volume while Edy sings (though I’m sure its a voice-over). I’ll keep that in mind while watching the next one for review. Reply
