Trivia:

On the day the scene when the DEBS are arriving at the bank was shot, the temperature was 100 Fahrenheit, which explains why the girls are sweating so much.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the opening scene there is a paper boy who throws a newspaper through the force field of the D.E.B.S. house. In the shot of the paper boy throwing the paper, the paper clearly penetrates the force field and lands in the hedges to the right of the front walkway. However, the next shot has the paper scorched from the force field and landing smack in the middle of the walkway.

Quotes:

Scud: Just promise me you'll be open.
Lucy: Open to what?
Scud: Open to love.

Laughs, Guns, and Sex appeal

DEBS is an entertaining, charming flick that does not try to to do too much more than put a smile on the audiences faces. It is hard to imagine how it can go wrong: beautiful young women, guns, and consistent jokes. Jordanna Brewster does a nice job of bringing a great deal of sizzling sexuality to the character of Lucy Diamond. Likewise, Sarah Foster, Devon Aoki, and Meagan Good are equally sensual and fun to watch. Jill Ritchie is terrific as the airhead who is striving vigorously to earn her stripes. While Jimmi Simpson displays strong comedic timing which adds to the diverting and catchy feel of the movie. Kudos to Angela Robinson and the cast for bringing the proper energy and creativeness to the this flick.
