When Cody is made aware of a black-market computer ring that’s selling US technology to the Russians in Malibu Express, he gets to work, but only after hooking up with his new attractive neighbors who need to use his shower because they haven’t yet hooked up the water in their own houseboat. Playing out like an R-rated erotic telenovela, this action-comedy wastes no time jamming as much raunchy dialogue into the premise as humanly possible before getting into any actual police work.
On his way to and from his houseboat (when he’s not fighting off women who are ready to pounce on him), Cody has frequent run-ins with the Buffington family, a bunch of hillbillies who challenge him to unsanctioned street races. The Buffingtons always beat Cody because they’re rigging their engines with nitrous oxide, causing Cody to wreck one of his many cars in the process. Though these races happen several times in the film, I can’t think of any way they’re actually related to the rest of the movie’s plot.
