Picasso Trigger is a 1988 action movie about a group of Federal agents trying to track down and eliminate international hitman Salazar (John Aprea), nicknamed Picasso Trigger. It stars Sidaris regulars Hope Marie Carlton (Taryn) and Dona Speir (Donna) as agents and (of course) Rodrigo Obregón (Miguel Ortiz) as villain.
The movie was directed by Andy Sidaris as part of his “Bullets, Bombs and Babes” (a.k.a. “L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies”) film series. These action movies were predominantly filmed on the island of Oahu in Hawaii and featured a cast mostly made up of Playmates in the roles of secret agents.
The following weapons were used in the film Picasso Trigger:
Handguns
Beretta 950BS Jetfire
A true Andy Sidaris classic, the Beretta 950BS Jetfire is used by thugs and e.g. Taryn (Hope Marie Carlton) plus Salazar (John Aprea) who is seen disassembling one.
