Hard Ticket to Hawaii
Pay the price for paradise!
Directed by Andy Sidaris
Produced by Malibu Bay Films
A campy, high-energy 1980s action-adventure romp that prioritizes spectacle, bikinis, and absurdist humor over coherent plotting or emotional depth.
A Molokai-based civilian pilot and an undercover DEA agent intercept a delivery of diamonds intended for druglord Seth Romero. Seth, his henchmen, and other island undesirables launch a full-scale assault on the duo. If they're going to survive, they'll need the help of agent Rowdy Abilene and his partner/kickboxing expert Jade.
