Warbirds, Babe Soldiers Win WW2

Forget what you heard Quint say in the movie "Jaws."  The real story of how the 'bomb' was delivered is told in today's feature from our friends at Syfy.  May I also say, the lovely ladies in this film probably smelled better than Quint, anyway.  With allure, perfectly applied make-up, and stylish hairdos, the babes in this film are prepared to win World War 2.  Today we look at 2008's "Warbirds," directed by Kevin Gendreau. 

The sultry Maxine (Jamie Elle Mann) captains a bomber during WW2.  Her crew are all sultry babes, co-piloted by the ravishing Betsy (Shauna Rappold).  The bomber is summoned to Hawaii where a secret cargo is loaded onto it.  Also coming on the flight to a remote South Pacific Island is the serious but beefy Colonel Toler (Brian Krause). The babes are kept in the dark about the true nature of the cargo.  Uh oh...a storm and a monster bird cause the bomber to crash land on an uncharted island.  Uh oh again, the Japanese base on the island was wiped out by monster birds.  Now Krause and Maxine assert their authority as babe crew members begin dying horribly.

Four Japanese survivors emerge.  Then so do more monster birds.  One by one, soldiers and babes are taken away by the flying things and eaten.  Maxine's lovelies have a plan...it will fail horribly.  The Japanese soldiers realize what the cargo of the bomber consists of and now they try anything to sabotage repair efforts.  The monster birds seem to multiply.  More babes die horribly.  Meanwhile, Toler is under orders to deliver the cargo at all costs even if it means all the babes will die horribly.  What follows gets grim.  The reality of what happened at the end of WW2 is brought home in technicolor death.

Will Maxine be able to seduce Toler?  Will the Japanese survivors be able to prevent the destruction of their country?  Would a sultry band of babe soldiers be more help to the Ukrainian army than the idle 101st Airborne?  Grim and gritty, this film is not the feel good film of the 21st century.  See "Warbirds" and catch a Syfy film that is not as upbeat as most...but still filled with cheese and beef.
