* RunningGag: Throughout many of Sideris's films, men with the last name Abeline can't hit a moving target to save their lives. This film is no different, which is why Rowdy uses a rocket launcher against the skateboard assassin.

The second film in Andy Sidaris' Triple B (aka ''L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies'') series, released in 1987.

Donna and Taryn, two agents of the L.E.T.H.A.L. organization, accidentally run into a diamond smuggling operation run by the crimeboss Seth Romero, and become targets when they intercept one of his shipments. Later, they get backup in form of two other agents, Rowdy and Jade. Together they must bring Seth down. There is also a mutant snake slithering about, killing people.

!!This film has the examples of:

* AsLethalAsItNeedsToBe: The effects of Rowdy's rocket launcher vary, at one point it completely evaporates a mook with an explosion and in other, it just sends a mook flying through a wall.
* CaughtInASnare: The two cops are gunned down by Seth's men after they are caught in snares.
* CreatorCameo: Sidaris appears as a television director.
* DamselInDistress: Agents' friend Edy is kidnapped by the bad guys, which prompts them to raid their base of operations.
* DestinationDefenestration: Chang tries to attack Donna and Rowdy by throwing his sword at them, but is shot in return and falls through a window to his doom.
* {{Fingore}}: A frisbee with razorblades is thrown at one of the mooks. It slices through his fingers and jugular when he tries to catch it.
%%* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex
* HarpoonGun: After Seth corners into Donna into a closet, she shoots him with harpoon gun which was laying there.
%%* HeterosexualLifePartners: Donna and Taryn.
%%* LockAndLoadSequence
* NonNudeBathing: Averted twice. Taryn takes off her bikini top before showering to rinse the salt and sand off after her early morning swim and jog. Later she and Donna Hamilton are topless in the Jacuzzi when they discover that they intercepted a delivery of diamonds intended for a drug lord.
* OnlyAFleshWound: Jade is shot in the chest by the skateboard assassin, which is only a mild discomfort for him in the long run and only needs a minor first-aid to heal.
-->'''Rowdy:''' Jade, how bad you hit?
-->'''Jade:''' I've been better.
* PostClimaxConfrontation: After Seth has been dealt with, it is followed by a sequence where the heroes attack his smuggling partner's Chang's penthouse.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: There's a subplot about a snake that is contaminated with toxins from cancer-infested rats. It kills people after escaping its box, and later it finds its way to Donna's and Taryn's home.
* {{Retirony}}: Older of the cops who were killed by Seth's men was just one month away from retirement.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: An assassin after Rowdy and Jade rides around on a skateboard carrying a gun in one hand and a blowup-doll in the other. The heroes [[CarFu hit him with a truck]].
