Intent To Kill is another entertaining B action film from producers Richard Pepin and Joseph Merhi of PM Entertainment. I'll simply describe a scene and let you decide if the film is worth viewing based on the following.
Hardboiled police detective Traci Lords has kicked her unfaithful dog of a boyfriend to the curb, and is immediately invited out by a macho detective in her department. They head for the restaurant, but not before Lords is dragged to the gym so as to witness her date strut his martial arts moves by pounding some poor white belt shmoe in the ring. She appears slightly impressed so he earns points there. He then gains her favor with witty conversation during dinner, and again gains points with the lovely lady detective. Unfortunately all of his romantic efforts go down the drain when 3 gun toting thugs enter the restaurant, pistol-whip the owners and shoot a customer. Lady Lords' smooth talking karate kicking date decides to use this moment to stay in his seat and do nothing. Lords is then targeted by the vicious trio. Holding out her purse which has a pistol concealed inside she pleads "Don't shoot me, here take all of my money", to which the thugs shout "we don't want your money, we want your life!". Tough cop Traci replies, get this, "It's not on the menu" and KA-BLAAMM!! fires a round into each of the three punks before her dumbfounded date can say another word. "Thanks for the help!" she screams at him with contempt, something she seems to have plenty of practice doing as every other male in the film seems to lack the spine and grit she has in spades. Of course the damsel detective is not above having a good cry, something she does after blasting bad guys, sobbing as she feels her feminine tenderness slowly eroding from all the violence.
If the above doesn't convince you this is a film worth seeing, thats fine, more cheesy entertainment for the rest of us B film fans.
