Bikini Drive-In features most of the actors from "Dinosaur Island" (Peter Spellos, Ross Hagen, Richard Gabai, Michelle Bauer) plus some straight-to-cable softcore veterans like Ashley Rhey. It follows the classic STSWB (save the something with breasts) plot: Girl inherits grandpa's drive in, must raise money in limited time to keep it, dreams up idea of letting girls in bikinis work there. Sound familiar? You probably haven't seen this movie, but you've seen one like it. I give it a solid B for many laughable parts and lots of skin. Skin-O-Max master Fred Olen Ray directs this flick.

I have to admit when I first picked this movie up off the shelf at my local video store I didn't expect much, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The movie is full of absolute gorgeous girls, who never seem to be wearing much and aren't ashamed to show what their made of *girl power*. This flick is so much better than the very similar Bikini Driving School which really sucked. The only thing that it had going for it was that the super sexy Maureen Flaherty shows her great t**s a few times. Back to Bikini Drive In, for all you Michelle Bauer fans out there I think you'll be pleased to know that theres a really good scene in here when some servant guy rubs oil onto her t**s, and boy do they look good. The movie has some pretty funny scenes mainly toward the end. Good movie, Great girls. Here's an idea Mr Director how about Michelle Bauer and Maureen Flaherty in a movie together. It's a guaranteed success!!

I watch a lot of Fred Olen Ray. A satirical take on 80's (?) end of drive-in culture before the fall of the Berlin Wall (yes this is a plot point). Nice flick with friends.

Bikini Drive-In is a proud contributor to the "we must save the (insert place here) by getting naked" genre. Ashley Rey stars as Kim Taylor a sexy young woman who inherits her grandfather's car wash and finds herself in danger of losing it if she doesn't come up with 25,000 dollars in four days. If she doesn't then a greedy land developer (David Friedman- hamming it up) will tear it down and build a super mall. He sends his handsome son (Richard Gabai playing it cool and funny)to strong arm her and they end up in a hot and steamy love scene (unrated edition only). They join forces with Sara Bellomo (or to all you porn fans out there "Roxanne Blaze")and a cast of busty bikini babes to put on a movie marathon to raise money. Nikki Fritz and Tom Shell play two nerds in love. Once Nikki Fritz removes her bathing suit and takes off her glasses then she and Tom have wild sex in the storage room.It's a shame that Tom Shell isn't acting anymore because he is adorable. Becky Lebeau makes an appearance and also contributes some great songs (Wild Fire, Point of Seduction, Lost Without You, Caught in the Middle of love) and it's a wonder why she hasn't gotten some kind of music deal. Fred Olen Ray contributes a funny cameo as Randy Rocket and Michelle Bauer as a scream queen. I have to stress that if you do see this movie then see it unrated. The steamy love scenes do not exist in their entirety in the rated version.
