It benefits from a basically good central idea.
Terri (Regina Russell) suddenly finds herself the owner of an airline. Which is not as great as it sounds since the airline employs a total of two people and is on the verge of bankruptcy. There is no money, but plenty of debts.
Terri knows that the only thing that can save the airline is publicity, preferably free publicity. Her boyfriend is a photographer and he specialises in nudie stuff. He suggests that hot near-naked babes would provide perfect publicity. And he is sure he can persuade his three gorgeous regular models to lend their talents to the scheme.
Having three bikini babes manning the check-in counter attracts attention but no customers, but the boyfriend still has one idea left. A young oil tycoon, Gary (Brad Bartram), had a bachelor party planned for the day before his wedding but since he has to get to Miami in a hurry for the nuptials there’s no time to have that party. But what if Terri’s airline could fly Gary and his friends to Miami and he could have the bachelor party on the way, on the plane?
Those three bikini babes will provide the entertainment.
The entertainment they provide is in the form of lots of hot steamy sex. These girls have a lot of energy and a lot of imagination, and no inhibitions at all.
There is, lurking in the background, an actual plot of sorts. It involves two relationships heading for the rocks and the chance of finding true love in unexpected places.
Comic relief is provided by the broken-down chief pilot Captain Sam and his incompetent co-pilot Dave. Captain Sam spends most of the flight taking photos of the sexual gymnastics taking place in the passenger cabin. We do have serious doubts about their piloting abilities.
This is a softcore film but the sex scenes get pretty raunchy and there are lots of sex scenes. Fred Olen Ray doesn’t have the genius of a Radley Metzger when it comes to shooting sex scenes but he does know how to make them steamy and sweaty.
Overall this is a good-natured movie. The photographer boyfriend is a bit of a jerk but he’s not evil, it’s just that he can’t keep it in his pants. And he is exposed to some pretty extreme temptation. You can’t entirely blame him for having it off with one of the Bikini Airways babes. Gary’s two friends get it on with the other two babes, but the girls are after all being provided as the in-flight entertainment.
And Terri and Gary take quite an interest in each other.
It’s all cheerfully naughty and nobody really gets hurt.
The acting is at best passable but let’s face it the cast members were chosen for their willingness to take their clothes off. Jay Richardson as Captain Sam is quite good fun. Regina Russell is likeable.
If you accept Bikini Airways for what it is, a skinflick with some amusing moments, and you don’t have a problem with naked girls and lots of sex scenes it’s rather enjoyable. Recommended.
The Retromedia Blu-Ray looks very nice. Extras include another much less interesting made-for-cable skinflick.
