Episode 1: Hard Ticket to Hawaii – Bazookas, Boobs & Blow-Up Dolls
B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast - Episode 1
Hard Ticket to Hawaii (1987)
Welcome to the debut episode of the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, where your hosts Duncan & The Baz dive headfirst into the gloriously goofy world of B-movies!
This week, we’re kicking things off with a bang (and a snake, and a frisbee of death) as we review the 1987 cult classic Hard Ticket to Hawaii.
---
In This Episode:
A plot outline that’s somehow both paper-thin and wildly convoluted:
Drug smugglers, secret agents, and a contaminated mutant snake — yes, really.
---
Our Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments:
- The infamous exploding skateboarder scene (because why not add a bazooka to a drug bust?).
- The frisbee assassination...a moment so surreal it deserves its own Oscar category.
- That snake in the toilet jump scare that redefined bathroom anxiety.
- The blow-up doll decoy that somehow works (??).
- The “It’s a hard ticket to Hawaii” line delivery that made us question reality.
Plus:
A breakdown of the most ridiculous script choices (spoiler: there are many).
The worst plot holes, including how a snake gets infected with cancer and becomes a super predator.
Our official B-Movie Blitzkrieg rating out of five...
Will it be a glorious trainwreck or just a flaming dumpster fire?
