Hard Ticket to Hawaii

1987 · 96 min

A goofy, sun-soaked explosion of bikinis, bad acting, and outrageous action that's best enjoyed as a laughably fun ride.

Tagline
Pay the price for paradise!
Overview
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.
