While never having heard about this 1988 movie titled "Picasso Trigger" from writer and director Andy Sidaris, I opted to sit down and watch it here in 2022, as I had the opportunity to do so after having seen the 1988 movie "Hard Ticket to Hawaii".
And I will say that "Picasso Trigger" definitely is right in the spirit and essence of the "Hard Ticket to Hawaii" movie, so if you enjoyed that one from Sidaris, then you will also enjoy this 1988 movie. I will admit that the movie was watchable enough for what it was, which is some typical late 1980s cheese, for better or worse.
It was actually fun to see the majority of the cast from "Hard Ticket to Hawaii" return to reprise their roles and characters in "Picasso Trigger", so it made for some sense of continuity. It should also be said that the acting performances in "Picasso Trigger" were adequate enough.
Visually then "Picasso Trigger" was an okay movie. I mean, it wasn't the best of special effects, and the usage of painfully obvious dummy stand-ins whenever an explosion was imminent was just hilarious.
If you enjoy 1980s cheesy action flicks, then you will definitely enjoy "Picasso Trigger".
My rating of "Picasso Trigger" lands on a five out of ten stars.
