Description

When Roger Corman went to Hawaii to make "Naked Paradise" with Beverly Garland, he had an extra week so he decided to shoot another movie on the spot and this movie is the lame bit of flotsam he spit out.  A navy man and his... Sikh (?) companion attempt to steal weapons from a base in Hawaii, but kill a guard and fail at getting any of the weapons.  The navy guy calls upon his brother to save his ass, lying to him that they didn't mean to kill the guard.  Attempting to slip away under the cover of a storm, their ship washes up on the dangerous, shark-infested reef surrounding a little island populated entirely by women pearl divers who save the brothers but not their other friend.  The women worship a sunken idol in the reef and are lead by an incredibly cantankerous, horrible, murderous, controlling old bint.  After breaking a flower lei, the men are declared taboo and the old woman attempts to sacrifice the girl the good brother is sweet on, but he saves her while the other women just yell at them.  They eventually try to get away and kidnap the old lady in the process.  I think Jim said it best: "How can a movie where the cast is 85% women fail the Bechdel test?!"

I wanted to do something as light and weightless as the movie itself, so I went with this blocky, almost 1960s-esque cartoon design.  There really wasn't enough in the movie to do much else, but this was kind of fun to do anyway.  I made this in Gimp.
