The Dallas Connection (1994) (2024)

• Review by Todd Gaines ★★★ 5

  Julie Strain has a presence that dominates the screen. You can’t help but pay all your attention to her. At the time of this writing, her health is grave. What an awful situation. I pray for peace for Julie, her friends and family.

  The Dallas Connectionis another Christian Drew Sidaris production. However, this one feels more like most of the other Sidaris films. More locations, a bigger cast and lots of boobs. I’m also seeing the transition of Playboyto Penthouse. Julie Strain, Julie K Smith and Samantha Phillips have all been Penthouse Magazine’s Pet of the Month. Playboy is still represented with Wendy Hamilton, but the tide is turning. All is well. Hot women are hot no matter what magazine…

  "God you were good. But hey, so was I."

  This one quote pretty much sums it up. Julie Strain had an incredible on-screen presence, and owns every second of her screen time here. Known as "Queen of the B-movies" and involved in over 100 films, she sadly passed on in January this year after a tussle with retrograde dementia following a horse accident in her 20s.

  A woman that knew who she was, and wasn't afraid to go after what she wanted, the title of her biography Six foot one and worth the climb gives her fans a sense of who she was.

  Julie's Backwards Cowgirl reverses into a bullet in the head. Rodrigo's active imagination. A horse race. Extreme golf. Cobra bites. Scorpion stings. Country Line Dancing. Sam sizzles. Mark gets stun gunned and punched in the face from the ladies in his life. Bruce gets the girl and has yet to act in another film. Drew directs again, and it's actually pretty damn good. Andy would be proud.

  We open up to some ripping saxophone tunesand usual kinkiness.. which is about what I was anticipating. However, there is a solid 20 minutes after that where I thought it was going to be a fun, dumb action movie… like the Sidaris I love.

  But alas, it quickly ends up being late night Cinemax which I knew it would be. Ugh.

  There’s one left and then I’ve watched the entire ‘BBB’ Collection - ‘Enemy Gold’ - which I don’t really want to watch but the completist in me would scream if I stopped with only one left. 😆

  Bullets, Bombs and Babes!

  A tasty cheese menu.

  ,,The Dallas Connection’’ is the second of the L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies flicks that were directed by Drew Sidaris, with help from his father Andy Sidaris and his mother Arlene Sidaris in production.

  Any film that starts with Julie Strain tying a dude up and riding him reverse cowgirl until she kills him isn’t going to be bad at all.

  But it’s definitely one of the lesser great films of these kind. It’s nevertheless still a fun watch for fans. Other people should probably watch the more well-known Sidaris films.

  Andy Sidaris Ranked

  The second and last one directed by Christian Drew Sidaris. I noticed this time it said it was written by Christian Sidaris and directed by Drew Sidaris in the actual film credits. This also has a Japanese title: Picasso Trigger: Dallas Connection.

  We open up in Paris and get a shot of one of the statues that appeared in one of Jacques Rivette's works. I bet he didn't see it and it was just a coincidence to show us we're in Paris! Then we get to some basic bondage sex with an ice cube glistening over some rock-hard abs. A guy shows up with a noticeably fake mustache and some deaths happen. We even get some awesome…

• Review by DBC ★★½ 2

  The theme for The Dallas Connection is seduction and violence, but since this is an Andy Sidaris & Son production, most of the perpetrators are women. And while the plot may supposedly have something to do with four scientists being targeted because each holds a crucial key to a satellite weapons tracking system, this is really just a collection of drawn out scenes of women seducing dudes then drugging, beating, or blowing them up.

  We've again got a lot of the usual Sidaris elements here--shower scenes, remote controls, gun play--but a lot of the usual fun callbacks (and fun characters) are missing. Instead, there's more BDSM, more strippers, and more wooden performances than usual, some almost as cringey as the movie's…

• Review by Robert Hayes ★★★

  "Get me in the mood."
  "I'd like to suck the polish off your toes."
  *Quentin Tarantino has entered the chat...

  Part of the L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies series, but only loosely so, the title refers to four microchips that control a cutting-edge satellite. Other than that, it's good guys vs. bad guys. You know, the usual stuff. It's a small step down from the Andy Sidaris-directed entries (this and Enemy Gold being directed by his son, Christian), but there was still plenty of the absurdist charm. Some of the lines were so ludicrous as to be admired. The good guys win. Obligatory champagne toast. Roll credits. Overall, it was pretty fun, though.

  Weirdest touch: A honky-tonk strip club where the female assassins use their codenames as their stage names.

• Review by Curtis ★★

  Four computer chips must be "entered" into the I/WAR computer at a precise time in order to activate the LaCroix satellite, which has sci-fi radar that will be at its most powerful during a meteor shower for some reason. The four chips, created by four scientists, are about to converge in Dallas when three of the four scientists are assassinated. Now, the remaining scientist will have to team up with agents Samantha Maxx, Chris Cannon and Mark Austin to make sure the Dallas Connection can be completed, and take down Julie Strain's band of stripper assassins.

  It's hard to put my finger on what makes Drew Sidaris' entries in his father's series...lesser. I've thought of Andy Sidaris as a kid…

• Review by Geoffrey Broomer ★½ 5

  Why doesn't Enemy Gold nicely fit into the Triple B series? What is missing? Realistic settings that betrayed the otherworldly paradise of Molokai? Making it about two males instead of empowering women?

  The list goes on - The Dallas Connection hopes to right the ship that is Christian Drew Sidaris' taking over of his father's franchise by not addressing any of those concerns, but bringing back remote controlled toys that explode. ...It almost worked.

  Enemy Gold's Bruce Penhall and Mark Barriere return, joined by Samantha Phillips, to protect a scientist (Rodrigo Obregón) from a group of female assassins led by Julie Strain. They will take in all the sights of Dallas - from the L.A. strip clubs to the Louisiana…
