The Ms. Galaxy contest has been hijacked by a group of terrorists led by a man named Bryce (Clay), who's demanding $10 million. After killing several of the contest workers and competitors, the terrorists take six young women hostage, including the host of the pageant, Sharon Bell (Tweed)--who just happens to be an expert martial artist. She uses her sexual charms to get herself free and then goes on a little butt kicking tour.

Well, needless to say this is a Die Hard ripoff vehicle for Tweed, but mostly it's about putting her in situations where she can run around in tight pants and pull some really bad martial arts style stunts. Make no mistake: her name is on it for the pure sexual pleasure of the men who will see this one. Which is, you know, sad. However, let us not forget that Andrew "Dice" Clay is also in the cast. His style actually works for his character. He's got just the right amount of asshole in him to make the heartless leader of this terrorist group work. It's just that there's not enough of a story or even a good script to support the work he's doing. Robert Davi is the ex-government agent/private security guard of one of the contestants who manages to get out of the building and help Tweed through this mess via a cell phone. And...that's about all that can be said about him.

All this DVD has to offer is some trailers of Tweed's other movies. These trailers are for some of the more...um...sexual based movies of hers. When you stop to think about it, there's really no point in putting any other special features on this disc. There is not enough of a plot for there to be a director's commentary or behind-the-scenes featurette. I mean, once a director has talked about how good Tweed looks in a couple of scenes, what else is there to talk about?

So, if you are looking for a bad movie that allows you to ogle Shannon Tweed, rent this one. Other than that, it's really not even worth thinking about.
