VIP

The other night I had the chance to kick back and watch some TV. I was watching the news and just channel surfing when I came across a show I couldn’t flip past. It’s called VIP. This is the STUPIDEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN… Yet I couldn’t change the channel. This show is an action adventure type docudrama about a bodyguard agency… the writing is the worst out there and the acting is actually worse than the writing… Yet I watched. I can’t explain it… it’s SO BAD, it’s kinda funny. The main characters are a trio of hotties lead by Pamela Anderson (Yeah – that Pamela) who has a terrific “please abuse me” look… her talent stops there – abruptly. The other female leads are a little better acting wise and no less easy on the eyes… Its just when they start saying lines and trying to emote – well, just turn the sound down and you’ll get by fine. To bring this under the umbrella of a firearms discussion – I’ll talk about firearms now…
Lets see the super buff little brunette girl packed two desert eagles with laser sights mounted on top of the barrel to make sure the iron sights were obstructed as much as possible.
The Amazonian redhead (my favorite one ;) ) in one scene pulled an HK PDW out of nowhere and began engaging another group of shotgun armed bodyguards at close range – no more than 15 feet max.
Pamela started out with a scoped G3 rifle (that she initially chose because as she explained it; it went with her underwear) and during the intense firefight, exclaimed “this is too heavy” and discarded it. Then out of the blue like ROGER RABBIT, pulled out a pair of .380 Sigmas. Oh yeah – much better. Well – the little Sigmas did provide unobstructed view of Pamela’s abundant cleavage, which from what I could tell is the whole point of the show. There were a bunch of spendy and exotic guns all over the show – most of which only served as wardrobe for the actresses. As the story goes and luck would have it, absolutely no injuries where inflicted upon anyone dispite at least 500 rounds of various calibers flying all over between about 7 combatants in the space of a Motel-6 bathroom.
Oh – there are a couple guys in the show too.
Like I said before – the show totally sucks. But next time I am up late watching TV – dang – I’ll have to check the listings.

You might laugh in the face of FEAR... but unless your armed, its a nervous, unconvincing, little laugh.
 
I have it on good authority ;) the prop people form this farce have ordered 2 Tac Low Ride Mad Dog holsters for Ms. Lee to carry her twin Glocks.

But dear, I am just watching this show to look for the holsters Kevin built. :D :D :D

I think this is called "Guilty Pleasures".
'Cept I dont feel any guilt... unless Mrs Kodiac walks in and sees whats on.
Jiggly gun waving bimbos is a pet peeve of hers. :D
 
I tried to watch it once(because of the pit-woofies) but couldn't.
HEY, there is always Cleopatra 2525!
 
Let me say one thing, if there were NO hot girls in these shows they would have NEVER made it past the pilot! enough said! Well they need to show some more skin ;)

Speaking of bad TV, does anyone remember a show called "Police Surgeon". I think it was on in the early 70's. Worst plots and acting I believe I have ever seen. I believe it was made in Canada.

It was so bad that we had an informal fan club that would get together and watch it every week. It was even worse than "My Mother the Car".

RKBA!
 
VIP is not the first show to blow through cases of ammo without hitting anyone. Remember the A-Team? The network would not let them show anyone actually being shot.

IMHO VIP is for those who find Baywatch too much of an intellectual challenge.
 
Could be worse - I sorta like the show...

Why? Any show that has women using guns in a positive manner (in this case, for protection) is a good thing.
 
I am so ashamed of you all for watching that drivel.

But I'm more ashamed of my own self for complaining that every time, out of the three times that I watched, I've seen the same rerun. This rerun was the very show that George mentioned (probably. Is there any plot variation?), but I watched it through-and-through each time, anyway!

This falls under masochism...


Wouldn't it be cool/sexy/engaging/exciting if they actually had good trigger control, used their sights, and [gasp!] actually hit what they were aiming at!?! Now THERE's a hook!
 
Yeah, it is among the more insipid shows on TV, their marksmanship does rival that of the A Team, and it is hard to tell if there really is more than one episode, as the plots are indistinguishable. Just eye candy - babes and guns, some nice vehicles, just a video comic book. More fun than some of them fishin' shows. M2
 
Hey, ya gotta admit, the show is just as good with the sound turned OFF! ;)

Isn't the "star" an anti-gun, anti-fur type? (I guess she's pro-silicone, though...)

I really WOULD like to know how the actresses manage to conceal all that high-caliber hardware in a thong...no, on second thought, maybe I wouldn't! :eek: (Better quit this line of thought before the moderator bans me!)
 
This is another of those shows best watched with the sound turned off. :D
Anyone here ever watched a show called Soldier of Fortune Inc/Special Ops Force? Good stories, good weapon handling, awesome weapons and tactics. Second season sucked kinda because they went PC on the story lines and added Dennis Rodman to the cast. (of all freakin people) Harry Humpries was the weapons consulant for the first season so you know it was done right. One of the actors was an ex-Ranger and everything just looked right. A good show like this goes away and a piece of KA-KA like VIP stays on. Dont you just hate Hollywierd sometimes.
 
Besides the never-hit-anybody shooting stratagy on the A team, I always wondered how they could drive a jeep off a 100 foot cliff, have it blow up like a bomb, and then dust off thier clothes and walk away?
