In this road movie that mixes comedy and drama, Bob (Vaughn Roberts), once an avid surfer, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and while he's only 25, his doctors don't give him long to live. Four of Bob's surf buddies learn of his condition: Schwartz (Robert Caso) is a doctor who doesn't have much respect for the medical establishment, Noah (Gregg Rainwater) is dealing with the new responsibilities of oncoming fatherhood, Lance (Mark Matheisen) is still chasing his dream of an acting career, and Jeb (Troy Fazio) has just gotten out of jail after the latest in a series of arrests related to his drug addiction. Schwartz, Noah, Lance, and Jeb get their hands on an old station wagon and "liberate" Bob from the hospital in a bid to show their friend one last good time as they head for Mexico to ride the waves. Along the way, Bob and his friends confront some emotional issues that they've never resolved and try to ease their fears of death and adulthood. Ocean Tribe was the first feature film for writer and director Will Geiger. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

The fate of the entire world hangs in the balance as a bevy of scantily clad beauties do battle in sprawling junkyards and treacherous gravel pits in order to determine the ultimate female warrior.

This low-budget action film from genre specialist David A. Prior stars Lynda Aldon as Rachael McKenna, the sexy blonde leader of a group of female prisoners hired by the CIA to bring down renegade agent John Mickland (William Zipp). The film presents itself as a distaff variation on The Dirty Dozen, as tough Sgt. Roberts (cult favorite Edy Williams) trains the convicts for jungle warfare in Colombia, but it cannot come close to its model in either excitement or spectacle. Peopled with a cast of former television actors including Edd Byrnes and Gail Fisher, Mankillers is the sort of film insomniacs might choose as an alternative to medication, but it offers little chance of success. Filmmaker Lizzie Borden appears as a drug smuggler. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

Rhoda used to be a model but suffered some disfiguring burns in a defective tanning box. She used her savings to open a health spa catering to the beautiful people and those who aspire to be like them. Someone is fatally stabbing the patrons of her establishment, and it is up to a rather slow-witted policeman to figure out what is happening. In this oddly unexploitational routine thriller, the lovelier a woman's physique is, the less screen time is given to showing her in revealing states of undress. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

- Marcia Karr, David James Campbell, (more)
