Blu-ray Review – The Doll Squad / Mission: Killfast

1973's "The Doll Squad" has all the ingredients for a rollicking B-movie
viewing experience. We have a diabolical villain bent on world
domination, a team of bikini-wearing secret agents brandishing cartoony
weapons, and a taste of chunky 1970's action choreography to sell the
hysteria. It's an ideal blend of escapist elements and a film some
suggest was a clear inspiration for the jiggling juggernaut known as
"Charlie's Angels." However, as enticing as "The Doll Squad" is, it's
also a strangely airless endeavor that's hampered by its no-budget
ambitions, finding writer-director Ted V. Mikels striving to make his
own Bond movie with mere pennies to spend, forced to rinse and repeat
every single scene. There's gold in the corners of the effort, but it
takes considerable patience to find the highlights of this strangely
chaste, frustratingly repetitive picture.
