B Movie Bonanza free streaming review
Looking over past posts here, I've collated a few free streaming links from:
-
free licensed movie streaming services like Fawesome, Plex and Tubi that do not require an account
-
licensed (or licence-claiming) channels & uploaders on user-upload platforms like YouTube and the Internet Archive
-
JustWatch & Reelgood links to check legal streaming availability (even though the results are not always reliable)
A few notes about the links
Location affects availability & language options
I'm in Mexico and I know about availability and language options for these streaming sites here in Mexico. I've only posted ones in English (or original language with English subtitles, when applicable).
Please give feedback if the movie is available or not in your location, or if there are more free & licensed sources in your location.
The links I give will often include "mx" or "es-mx" in the URL but will often change to your local country's version when you load them. But with some sites (e.g. Just Watch), you might have to manually pick your location from a list.
Devices
What devices you use to watch might also affect things. Not only availability and language options but other issues, too.
E.g. Watching FreeMovies+ on a Roku device, I get full screen. But watching FreeMovies+ in my web browser, I get navigation bars at the side and the top.
Timing
These links work at time of writing. Licensed streaming is notorious for changing frequently, so they might not work when you try them.
Ads
Some of these platforms are supported by ads. Decide for yourself about whether or not to disable your adblocker, and other techniques (e.g. view the site in a separate container or a different browser to minimize data collection; clearing cookies etc).

PS I did this manually (looking at old posts, searching for title in site 1, then 2 etc, copying & pasting urls etc).
- Anyone out there know how to simplify or automate this?
- Anyone know how to automate this for someone making a new B Movie Bonanza post? E.g. you just insert movie title and year, and the automated system spits out all the URLs, if available, for the various services?
Just watched Hard Ticket to Hawaii. That. was. AWESOME.
Gotta see more of these Triple B movies.
Spoilers / riffing
Jeez, the guy is even prettier than the girl. Like, way prettier! Like US soap star pretty.
10 seconds have passed, time to show some boobs. Not gratuitous at all!
Surprisingly inventive opening titles, given how cheesy it's been so far.
"Cameo appearances by"... people I've never heard of. Awesome!
Huge psycho snake! I thought this was going to be an action movie, not a monster movie! (I like going into films without a lot of expectation, so I didn't read the description first.)
More completely ungratuitous boobage.
Apparently there are women who aren't blonde... and don't show their boobs within 10 seconds of first appearing on camera.
The theme song! Among the worst the 80s had to offer.
"But of course I pilot the plane in hot pants and braless. Double Ds weigh less at 5,000 feet."
Noel Coward's a drug smuggler now?
Drones in the 80s were so...
She keeps a ninja star in her piloting go-go boots!
Nothing says 'dedicated captain of the aircraft' and 'conscientious DEA agent' like flying off and leaving your passengers behind at the mercy of armed killers.
Can anyone in this movie act? Anyone?
"We need to figure out what just happened. Let's unload and hit the jacuzzi." WTF?!?!?! I'll tell you what just happened: you just left two civilians to be killed by armed criminals who just shot at you! And your action plan is to hit the fucking jacuzzi?! (Disbelief assuaged by the knowledge that of course the jacuzzi's going to be an excuse for more boobage.)
Restaurant scene, finally some people who can act. Badly, but at least they're in the ballpark.
Pretty Boy's kung fu training is getting very bromoerotic. And a touch racist.
This message will self-destruct in five seconds! (If by "self-destruct", you mean trying to set a sandwich on fire with a cigarette lighter.)
Even the fights are an excuse for more boobage. [Crop tops riding up.]
"Now, that snake has been infected by deadly toxins from cancer-infested rats." ROFL ROFL ROFL.
Evening at the restaurant: I thought the danger was going to be the big snake, but now I think it's going to be the big hair. The big, big, BIG 80s hair.
Still no action to rescue the passengers they left at the mercy of the killers.
Relax, Moms for Liberty! That barmaid only looks like a drag queen.
Of course, undercover DEA operations are discussed on speakerphone in unsecured locations... with lots of flirting and innuendo.
SURPRISE ROMANTIC INTERLUDE! The boobage, however, is not a surprise.
Wait... it was night when we cut to the surprise romantic interlude, morning at the start of the interlude and then sunset at the end of the interlude. An entire day just passed? Still no word on the fate of the abandoned passengers.
Wait... Pretty Boy isn't just "soap star pretty". I think he really was a soap star, in one of the shows my grandmother used to watch. The Bold and the Beautiful?
Handstand skating, just because...
Attempted driveby shooting where the assassin hides a shotgun behind an inflatable sex doll while rolling downhill on a skateboard. ROFLROFLROFLROFL.
"Let's get that turkey." Hit the assassin with their jeep and before he even hits the ground, blow him up with a rocket launcher!!!!! And the sex doll, too!
The abandoned passengers are finally seen again. Alive and well and making dirty Polaroids.
Barmaid speaks. Actually, I think it is a drag queen, not just 80s hair and makeup dialled to 11.
Was that funny moment... intentionally funny?
Honeymooners dead, surprise, surprise.
"Dallas Steers" There's only two things from Texas...
It's starting to look more and more like it's meant to be funny.
Hiding a gunshot wound is not a good enough reason for Kung Fu Bro to put a shirt on. Who cares if he's trying to be undercover!
"One man's dream is another man's lunch."
Uh oh, I know bad things are gonna happen with that frisbee...
Never question if a man can throw!
"Hey Co-leen... You've got a great ass.""So do you, pilgrim."
Flying guillotine!
{battle} "Who got Seth?" Doh!
TOILET SNAKE! "Just when you thought it was safe to take a pee."
Who doesn't bring dates to an arrest? In a prom limo?
Pretty Boy has barrel envy!
Closing titles. A Jackie Chan movie will reshow every stunt. This movie reshows every boob.
