The Doll Squad
Great movie if you're into the campy 60/70's chick-superspy movies. Pretty obvious that Charlie's Angels was ripped off from this. The special effects are very amusing.

Tura Satana!...
First, I must say that this isn't a bad movie. Sure, it's pure 70s cheeze, but that's a good thing! THE DOLL SQUAD is the perfect Ted V. Mikels (Astro Zombies, Corpse Grinders) picture. After all, we get a team of beautiful, bodacious babes, out to save the world from the nefarious Eamon O'Reilly (Michael Ansara) and his bubonic plague plot! Led by Sabrina Kincaid (Francine York) and featuring the incredibly edible Tura Satana (Astro Zombies, Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!) as Lovell Samara, THE DOLL SQUAD gals kick, chop, and shoot their way into our hearts. We even get Ms. Satana doing her exotic dance routine, tassles and all! Ahem, where was I? Oh yeah, this is a personal favorite, quenching my thirst for chicks w/ guns who kick major buttocks! A must for the cult film fanatic...

They battle the baddies and look amazing doing it!
The Doll Squad (1973) People often ask me "Why do you watch all of those weird/awful/strange/bad movies?" Because every once in a while I see a movie as terrific as this one! This low budget action flick from producer/director Ted V. Mikels hits all the right notes and entertained me thoroughly from first frame to last. Bad guy Michael Ansara (Star Trek) is a renegade ex-CIA agent with delusions of Bond villain: he topples a rocket launch to get the US government's attention and then blackmails them with threat of a new super-bubonic plague he'll release everywhere. His price: to be made leader of the world! The US government's response? Agent Anthony Eisley (Dracula vs. Frankenstein) gives the word: send in the greatest counter espionage force in the world: The Doll Squad! Led by redhead Sabrina (Francine York), these women (including the notorious Tura Satana-Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!) live by the three B's: bikinis, bullets, and bombs! They launch an all out assault on Ansara's island base and the bad guys don't stand a chance! This is the most entertaining movie I've seen from the ever eclectic Mikels, with lots of terrible 70's fashions, action, bikinis, machine guns, stunts and explosions, all set to a hip and happening 70's score. It's especially fun to notice not one explosion is done live, every one of them is instead superimposed in. (Safety first must be Ted's motto.) Strangely, there is no full nudity, though Tura does get in one scene with pasties. On the violence side though, we got kung fu, gun fu, knife fu, cigarette lighter flamethrower fu, bottle busted over head fu, bazooka fu, electric cord on wet guy fu, sword fu and explosive Mickey Finn fu! Awesome! Now, a lot has been said and written, starting with Ted V. Mikels himself, that this movie might have influenced producer Aaron Spelling into creating Charlie's Angels. It is interesting that the smart leader of the Doll Squad is named Sabrina, the same as the "smart one" of the Angels. I see the similiarities (women in sexy clothes battling bad guys) but there are differences too. The Angels usually went undercover in sexy outfits to get evidence to bring the bad guy down. The Doll Squad boats out to the island and lays waste to everyone on it. I can see both sides, guess I'll stay on the fence for this one. But in any case, if you enjoy fast moving 70's style low budget action, you have got to check this one out!
