Four sailors on weekend pass try to "get some" in Los Angeles. And that's pretty much it. It's great if you don't wanna think too hard. They start out at a strip club then go to Venice Beach, then a comedy club, Beverly Hills, then finally an aerobics party at a gym.
Bunker is the black man of the group. He takes the guys to the ghetto for some soul food only to run into his old street gang, the Mau Maus. He bare knuckle fights with Bertram the leader(Grand L. Bush aka Agent Johnson from Die Hard and Balrog from the Street Fighter Movie) who happens to know karate. Anyways, the cops stop them and they move on. Bunker meets an aerobic instructor and hooks up with her just because she like how bold he is.
Paul is the wannabe stand-up comedian who tells the most excruciatingly unfunny jokes you could ever want to hear. Well, he gets his chance to tell them at a comedy club where he bombs but meets another young lady comedian(or comedienne as they like to be called) who also bombs, which bonds them. It saddened me to see the late great Phil Hartman as the MC at the comedy club telling awful jokes, but you gotta start somewhere. He was probably saving his good stuff for Pee Wee and SNL.
Webster hooks up with an old college girlfriend who now works in the music industry or something in Beverly Hills. She's not who he remembers. She's far too stuck up for Webster to even hook up with. And she wants to use a vibrator on him. NO THANKS!
Lester is the 80s nerd of the group. He handles computers for the Navy. His name is Lester. He wears glasses. Yeah, that's a nerd. The others try to get him an Asian massage that ends in Lester's back breaking or so it would seem. He doesn't get "any". So he prepares for his blind date with a sergeant's niece at an aerobics party.
At this aerobics party, Lester's blind date happens to be the nerdy girl of his dreams. Webster meets the nerdy girl's cousin who is surprisingly attractive for being the cousin of a nerdy girl. They all hook up at the aerobics party and then some flashy 80s dancing in leotards. Then Monday hits and they must report back to the navy. Finally it ends.
At just 85 minutes, this movie felt horribly long. The parts in the comedy club were by far the worst scenes ever in film history. Every film that featured stand up comedy in the 80s features the absolute hackiest comedians ever with horrible jokes and the audience fake laughing as hard as they can. I couldn't believe there would be stand-up comedy unfunnier than the stuff featured in the Tom Hanks/Sally Field farce, Punchline.
It only featured a poor 4 sets of 80s juggs. Boo. This has to be the worst one so far. And what do Sailors on weekend pass have to do with school? I thought this was the TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL COLLECTION.
