Terminal Exposure. Terminal Exposure is a 1987 American comedy film directed by Nico Mastorakis. It involves two amateur beach photographers who accidentally capture a murder on film.

Coming from director Nico Mastorakis, who gave us the taboo-busting video nasty Island of Death, Terminal Exposure was never going to be a tasteful movie: it would probably be labelled as 'problematic' by Gen Z, the film being full of scantily clad young women (the focus on their shapely backsides), with a few camp gay stereotypes for comic relief.
"Terminal Exposure" has a great premise (for this sort of movie) but, sadly, never quite lives up to it. It does, however, have plenty of bikini-clad babes in it which is definitely something. Oh and I just checked and, yeah, I rated this higher than "Blow-Up" (Carlton's naked breasts provide more entertainment and artistry than anything in that film, IMO).

Now I want someone to make an edit ...
