The Doll Squad

…is one of the most hilariously bad movies I’ve ever seen.

The acting is bad. The writing is ridiculous. The main character has makeup that makes her look like she’s 60.

The direction is I’m pretty sure done while drunk. Actors walk in front of lights and perform like in a kindergarten vegetable play (to quote Michael Litfin). Sometimes they completely flub a line.

The editor put this weird kaleidoscope transition that is so brief it looks like it’s left in on accident.

Tura Satana is in it!

The violence is also funny. Ten minutes in, someone gets shot in the face, and she spins around crosseyed before falling to the ground. An enemy agent is tortured into confessing by pulling her hair.

Tons of wacky spy gadgets: brain implants. Pocket flamethrowers. Microfilms, truth serum, silenced guns, exploding cars…
