THE DOLL SQUAD is a low rent action movie by Ted V. Mikels, a director whose product is generally so bad that this is perhaps a highlight of his career. It's been much discussed that this film helped inspire the creation of CHARLIE'S ANGELS and whether this is true or not, it's certainly one of the earlier 'team of women' action vehicles.

The plot sees a bunch of statuesque ladies teaming up to fight saboteurs on behalf of America. They have a fine line in natty costumes and also more than a few karate skills that allows them to dispatch bad guys in some stock low rent action scenes. In other scenes they use their feminine wiles to seduce enemies before taking them out. It's all complete nonsense, of course, and yet it plays out with a fast pace and an appealing kitsch style that makes it a little more bearable than the usual genre films.
