Return to Savage Beach is an American action-adventure movie directed by Andy Sidaris, starring Julie Strain, Rodrigo Obregon, Julie K. Smith, and Paul Logan. It is the sequel to the 1998 movie, The Enemy Within. The story of Return to Savage Beach revolves around six girls who work for the L.E.T.H.A.L. agency, a secret government organization, and their mission to retrieve a top-secret microfilm that holds the key to a powerful weapon. The team comprises Donna (played by Donna Speir), Taryn (played by Hope Marie Carlton), Nicole (played by Cynthia Brimhall), Edy (played by Julie Strain), and two new members, Shane (played by Rodrigo Obregon) and Coco (played by Julie K. Smith).
The movie begins with a bang as the girls embark on their mission to retrieve the microfilm. Their journey takes them to an exotic island known as Savage Beach, where they meet a group of Russian terrorists led by Andreas (played by Marcus Bagwell). For Andreas, the microfilm is a valuable tool that can help him realize his dream of dominating the world. Thus, he tries to steal the microfilm from the L.E.T.H.A.L. agents by hook or by crook.
What follows is a series of action-packed sequences filled with gunfights, explosions, and hand-to-hand combat. The girls are not easy targets, though. They use their unique skills and teamwork to fight off the terrorists and keep the microfilm safe. In the process, they also discover that Andreas is planning to launch a nuclear missile at Washington D.C. and decide to take matters into their own hands to stop him.
The movie is unique in that it balances its action-packed sequences with a generous dose of humor and wit. The girls crack jokes and puns, making the movie less serious and more enjoyable. Furthermore, the movie is notable for its numerous scenes of scantily-clad women running around in slow-motion, which is arguably its most significant draw.
Return to Savage Beach is not just a movie; it's a time capsule. It's a movie that embodies the '90s era, where women empowerment and action movies were popular. The movie encapsulates the essence of the time, with its colorful cast, campy humor, and explosive action scenes. It's a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's what makes it entertaining.
Overall, Return to Savage Beach is an enjoyable action movie that offers a perfect blend of humor and action. It is a welcome sequel to The Enemy Within and a deserving concluding chapter to Sidaris' L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies franchise. With its memorable characters and engaging storyline, this movie is sure to keep viewers glued to their seats until the very end.
