Hard Ticket to Hawaii - FlopFest
Set against the Hawaiian backdrop, this campy, action-filled adventure pits undercover agents against drug lords, deadly snakes, and explosive mayhem.
Set in the scenic Hawaiian islands, the story follows two undercover agents, Donna (Dona Speir) and Taryn (Hope Marie Carlton), who work for a fictional government agency called the "Agency." The plot kicks off when the agents inadvertently stumble upon a drug smuggling operation while working on a seemingly routine mission. Their discovery puts them in the crosshairs of a ruthless drug lord, Mr. Chang (Peter Bromilow), who will stop at nothing to protect his illegal enterprise.
As the agents fight to bring down the drug ring, they encounter various challenges, including a venomous snake accidentally unleashed due to a mix-up in shipments, corrupt officials, and a series of violent henchmen. So bad... it's good.
Het verhaal speelt zich af op de schilderachtige Hawaïaanse eilanden en volgt twee undercoveragenten, Donna (Dona Speir) en Taryn (Hope Marie Carlton), die werken voor een fictieve overheidsinstelling genaamd de “Agency”. De plot begint wanneer de agenten per ongeluk op een drugssmokkel stuiten tijdens een ogenschijnlijk routineuze missie. Hun ontdekking plaatst hen in het vizier van een meedogenloze drugsbaron, Mr. Chang (Peter Bromilow), die nergens voor terugdeinst om zijn illegale onderneming te beschermen.
Terwijl de agenten vechten om de drugsbende op te rollen, komen ze verschillende uitdagingen tegen, waaronder een giftige slang die per ongeluk wordt losgelaten door een verwisseling van transporten, corrupte ambtenaren en een reeks gewelddadige handlangers. Zo slecht... dat het goed is.

Fridays at Filmhuis: live DJ and B-movie introduction by Film Scholar Rudi de Boer
Whether a film is good or bad is, to some extent, subjective. While personal taste plays a role, there are definitely films that are almost unanimously regarded as bad. Yet sometimes something interesting emerges, and we love a film partly because it is bad. How can this be explained? Do these films possess a unique charm that is lacking in perfectly produced films? Do they offer an unfiltered view of creativity, free from the constraints of high production budgets and strict studio demands? Film scholar Rudi de Boer will tell you everything about it and show some embarrassing clips.
On Friday the 27th, we are kicking off FlopFest with a special Fridays at Filmhuis screening of Hard Ticket to Hawaii. Enjoy some Hawaiian tunes from our DJ and listen to an introduction on B-movies by Film scholar Rudi de Boer before the film starts. Dresscode? Hawaiian!
