Bikini Round Up briefly touches on a universal question. How do we honor the dead? Bikini Round Up deals with this Au tandem. After a woman inherits a piece of property from a man for whom she provided his last tryst, Nicole Sheridan resolves to make something of it. Easy enough to just liquidate the property, but instead she does the honorable thing and decides to get personally involved. After reaching the property with her faithful female companion (Beverly Lynne) she discovers that there may be a lost treasure from a deceased Outlaw named Calamity Kate. A greedy land baron and his loyal henchmen seem destined to grab the land until the spirit of the outlaw appears. The sets are carefully designed to be realistic and small details reveal the hard work put into this production. The horsemanship and gun play by Belinda Gavin is especially good. Plus, Gavin's cowboy costume is astonishing. Robert Constant deserves special praise for the hard work he put in on the wardrobe. Stone's duster especially is noted for it's historical accuracy. Watching the evolution of the henchmen from goons to sympathetic lovers is especially gratifying. The scene where Evan Stone's gun is shown to be empty is cinematic genius. The mystery of Boisvert's tattoo, in a moment of strong homo eroticism,is never really resolved. Fortunately, only one of the male leads gets naked during an improvised surgery. The land baron nemesis is truly a vile character who never really understands what he is up against and unfortunately perpetuates many negative male stereotypes. The ending will shock you at first, but after some thought you will realize that it was inevitable. A great spaghetti western soundtrack,mesmerizing images, sensitive performances. Find time for viewing this great film.
Especially the all female three way! YOWZA!
