Julie Strain the Amazonian henchwoman in Enemy Gold


Amazon link for Julie lovers

Yes, we skip from the spy flicks of the 60's to Andy Sidaris' Guns and Babes action flicks of the 90's. Don't let anyone tell you this blog is not diverse. I've loved Julie for the longest time - this Penthouse pet inhabits the amazonian bad girl persona so naturally, coupling an imposing height with a mild bodybuilding physique and a lot of hammy snarling attitude. She also seems like a fun person IRL, and is married to the original creator of the Ninja Turtles. I appreciate the bad girl performances she gave in Sidaris flicks, but I can only imagine what would have happened if she started collaborating with Troma before their uber-lame period... think about Troma's war or the Toxic Avenger with Julie as the leading bad girl?

Oh well. Wasn't meant to be, I guess. And Enemy Gold really isn't bad, by Sidaris standards. Hell, Julie's very first scene involves parking her cool car in a strip-joint (an actual joint in Dallas that got a lot of free publicity in various Sidaris films), storming out (clad in a nice leather outfit) and breaking the fingers of a random sleaze bag trying to hit on her. Mmm.



When she does meet the club owner / big bad guy, she takes off the jacket to reveal... uumph.


That's basically all she does for a while, pose in a badass way and spout lines like




"We will hunt them down like small animals, and no one will be able to hear their cries of pain and sorrow!"
Andy Sidaris wrote the best damn lines.
When the bad guys finally do hunt down the good guy agents, Julie strips down to a bikini in order to... well, so that the audience can see Julie in a bikini really.


Note the difference in cinematography - Sidaris is really a pedestrian director at best, so Julie's body (just as good and/or superior to that of the Elke / Sylva double team from the last post) doesn't look quite as alluring.


She does display just as much a ruthless attitude about killing all those in her way as the spy girls.

As she and her employer make a camp stop, she performs a sword dance by the fire. Mmm. Literally amazonian (another missed opportunity - she really should have been a swords and sandals baddie at some point)



 When the good guys are captured she double-wields and AK and the good guy crossbow (spoilers: ironically to be the instrument of her demise) and looks quite badass while doing so

 Julie has no patience for Mexican standoffs

So she settles them quickly and decisively (I think that she racks up the only bad guy kills in the movie, actually)

Are you wondering whether the bad guys escape will lead them to some sort of vehicle that could be easily blown up by the good guys? Then you may have watched a Sidaris movie before

Sidaris movies are actually fairly formulaic, despite the fact that the bafflingly insane plots are completely different each time. And yet... it's a forumla that appeals to me. Guns, babes, bombs. I'm the odd male for whom explosions do nothing, but I do love me some sex and violence, as well as hot bad girls with attitude that combine both. And Sidaris movies provide that (complete with padding, cheesy jokes, shilling for local products and all that) . A lot of them will be reviewed here in the future, but if you want to check them out yourself, this pack offers the most bang for your buck:
