Some of the pictures these guys take could get them arrested. One picture could get them killed.

Two beach combing-shutterbugs accidentally capture a murder on film. Now detectives, the boys set out to capture a murderess shot only from behind, with a rose tattoo on her behind. Fun in the sun turns dangerous when they end up shooting bullets instead of film.

Fun misadventures from Venice Beach to Las Vegas and back Two best friends in SoCal (Mark Hennessy and Scott King) accidentally capture evidence of a murder on camera and seek a blonde with a tattoo on her derriere (Hope Marie Carlton). Ted Lange plays a literal beach bum and Joe Estevez a grim shady man. Shot in August-September, 1986, and released the next year, "Terminal Exposure” is a comedy/crime misadventure with focus on youths chasing beach beauties à la “Private Resort” (1985). I thought the two leads made for an entertaining duo despite being unknowns. Meanwhile Hope Marie is lovely (along with a few other females) and the misadventures are fun. But, like “Private Resort,” there’s a little too much sleaze in the air for my tastes. Yet this is mostly limited to the first act and the flick drives home the importance of finding the right mate and the corresponding faithfulness despite the guys' obsession with T&A. The film runs 1 hour, 40 minutes, and was shot in the Los Angeles area, as well as Las Vegas. GRADE: B-
