Plot

Two drug enforcement agents are killed on a private Hawaiian island. Donna and Taryn, two operatives for The Agency (Molokai Cargo), accidentally intercept a delivery of diamonds intended for drug lord Seth Romero, who takes exception and tries to get them back. Soon other Agency operatives get involved, and a full-scale fight to the finish ensues, complicated here and there by a very dangerous snake infected by deadly toxins from cancer-infested rats.

Cast

Reception

The film's over-the-top violence, cheesy dialogue, unintentional humor, and overall absurdity has earned it a cult following.[citation needed] In 2014, Paste magazine named the film the "best B movie of all time."[3]

The film was featured on the podcast How Did This Get Made? in 2017.[4]
