Andy Sidaris, who passed away in 2007, was a gifted independent filmmaker who came up with an endlessly entertaining and always profitable formula and used it for decades: buxom women, gunplay, and exotic locales. But before the B-movies, Sidaris was a true pioneer in sports television. He directed hundreds of football, basketball and Olympic Games, and won seven Emmys. His best-known work was with ABC’s Wide World of Sports; he was the show's first director, and continued in that post for 25 years. We present this rare opportunity to see three of his key works from the ’80s, projected on 35mm film.

Savage Beach

Screening Room

Donna and Taryn, two female government agents, are transporting a vaccine and forced to land their plane on a remote island that houses more than just palm trees and sandy beaches. A sunken WWII ship containing a fortune in gold is there, and our agents are soon caught in the crossfire as warring factions battle it out over the treasure. Savage Beach was one of Sidaris’ biggest box-office hits. (1989, 92 min, 35mm)

As you might have guessed, much absurd and sexy mayhem ensues. (1987, 96 min, 35mm)
