I popped this baby into the VCR today and very quickly realized I had seen it back when it first came out. How many movies start off with a woman getting burned up in a tanning bed? Despite having seen it before I went ahead and watched it. I'll never get enough jiggling flesh spilling out of leotards,although to be honest Killer Workout fulfilled my jiggle quota for a month.
Somebody is killing off the beautiful customers of a small gym. Not only are they killing them, but they are using a large safety pin to do it. Could it be Rhonda, the bitchy gym owner? Could it maybe be the beefcake stud who hangs out and says things to the girls like "hey baby,what's that zipper for?" Could it be the new hunky employee who seems to have a hidden agenda? Maybe...but probably not. The cop assigned to the case acts as if he has read one too many Spillaine novels and looks alarmingly like Bub the Zombie from Day of the Dead.
This movie is very 80's. The clothing, the hair, the music... DEAR GOD THE MUSIC. Great cheesy fun with a nice body count, a few neat twists near the end, plenty of shots of beautiful women doing aerobics (i.e humping the floor like an alley cat in heat). It's pretty enjoyable and is probably about what you should expect when you rent a movie called Killer Workout. If you get bored start paying attention to the lyrics of the songs played on the soundtrack. Some of them are worth the price of a rental alone. -Badfish |
