Theatrical Release Information:
V.I.P.: Season 01

Freshly arrived in LA from the midwest, buxom Vallery Irons (Pamela Anderson Lee) is soon being squired around by a variety of handsome hunks, including a certain macho movie star. When this star is jumped by assailants, Vallery accidentally saves the man's life--whereupon, to avoid embarrassment, the star informs his fans that Vallery is actually a professional bodyguard. Picking up on this story are the employees of Colt Arrow Security Services, a deeply-in-debt protection agency. Hoping to avoid closing up shop, the Colt personnel invite Vallery to sign on as head bodyguard and spokesperson, going so far as to rename the organization Vallery Irons Protection (V.I.P.) Assured that she will merely be a sexy "front" and kept far out of harm's way while the rest of the V.I.P. personnel--ex-spy Tasha (Molly Culver), former boxer Quick (Shaun Baker), munitions expert Nikki (Natalie Raitano) and mousy computer wonk Kay (Leah Lail--do all the heavy lifting, Vallery petulantly insists upon being allowed to live up to her reputation and pitch in when the going gets rough. For reasons that may be hard to comprehend, most of Vallery's perilous assignments require her to wear extremely revealing costumes. That's the situation facing us as V.I.P. launches its first season of 22 episodes, in which Vallery and company tackle all manner of risky bodyguarding assignments for a vast array of A-list clients. During Season One alone, the VIP's list of subscribers includes the likes of Coolio, Charles Barkley, Pauly Shore, #Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Bill Maher, Robin Leach, Shannon Tweed, Erik Estrada and Jerry Springer! And in the episode "The Last Temptation of Evil", Dustin Nguyen makes his first appearance as Japanese martial-arts superstar Johnny Loh, who will join the cast on a regular basis in the seasons to come. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
