A nuclear war has bombed the world back into ... well, back into
something. And you know the thing, humankind has gathered in small tribes
battling one another, there are mutants prowling the place, and
civilisation seems to be developing backwards. When Michelle, the leader
of one of the tribes, is bitten by a mutant, Trianna (Tonia Monahan), the
bravest of her warriors, gathers a small, (almost-)all female battalion to
go to Armageddon City, to find the antidote. But Armageddon City is under
the iron rule of Salacious Thatch (Deric Bernier), who ... well, who's
just plain evil (he even eats human flesh if that's any indication), so it
doesn't get long for Trianna and her warriors, the titular bimbos, to get
captured and tortured even. However, their head torturer learns that his
one true love is with Trianna's tribe, so he helps them escape. To get the
antidote though, the bimbos have to get into Thatch's private quarters,
and of course, Thatch throws everything he's got in their way ... but
ultimately, the bimbos succeed in not only getting the antidote but also
killing Thatch - upon which resistance evaporates, since all those served
him had been forced by Thatch into doing so, and now that he's gone, what
reason is there ... Trianna and the bimbos arrive at their tribe with
the antidote just in time to keep their leader from dying, but she'll
never be strong enouch to lead the tribe again - so she makes Trianna her
successor. Bimbos B.C. is a low budget attempt to bring
a comicbook-style story to life on an ultra-low budget with quite a bit of
tongue-in-cheek humour, and the ambition put in this movie shines through,
just like the fun everybody must have had shooting it ... but
unfortunately, the end result isn't nearly half as appealing as all the
ambitions put into it. Basically, the film was made on a way too low
budget to even achieve the modest requirements of the script, on a
technical level the equipment used was not up to professional standards,
very little care was put into key filmmaking aspects like lighting and
stuff, the fight scenes are amateurishly handled, the directorial effort
is at best functional, and the cast almost unifromly lacks talent for
acting and/or comedy. I really wish I could have said something nicer
about this one, because you really feel the enthusiasm all those involved
had about the project, but all of this eventually turned into a pretty bad
movie, sorry.
