The film

Andy Sidaris spent two decades making essentially the same film — federal agents, exotic locations, gadgets, explosions and a cast drawn largely from Playboy — and refining it into something approaching folk art. Fit to Kill is the formula at full boil, with Julie Strain's villainess stealing the picture and a plot about a stolen diamond that exists purely to detonate things.

Nobody has ever watched a Sidaris film by accident, and nobody who loves them is confused about why. This is party cinema: best experienced loud, late and in company.

Editions: what to look for

Mill Creek restored and released the entire Sidaris filmography on Blu-ray — including this — with intros and commentary material carried over. The restored single disc is the collector's pick. There's also a famously cheap 12-film set covering the whole catalogue, which is the best value-per-explosion purchase on this entire site.
