A burned out L.A. detective moves to Hawaii, where he stumbles upon a murder at a college sorority reunion. Stereotypical college students (Cecile Bagdadi, Joel S. Rice, Ralph Brown) are stalked on campus by a slasher/strangler. A secluded tropical hideaway becomes a serial killer’s site for revenge when four beautiful girls arrive for their five-star college reunion of sorority sisters and succumb to gruesome murders, one by one. Now, it is up to two local police detectives to track down the killer before the next victim is killed and they must figure out what dark secret ties the victims together.

A police officer fails in capturing a drug dealer in Los Angeles, so his boss High Janus transfers him to Hawaii for disciplinary reasons. On the island some former female students are just gathering in a luxury hotel. The young ladies once belonged to the sorority “Omega Kappa Omega” and are now invited to an erotic photo shoot which is organized by Derek Simmons, the editor of the Cavalier Magazine. Shortly after their arrival, Terri Walker, one of the former students, is strangled in the pool while her friend William Culp is absent for some minutes. Detective Newman begins to investigate the murder together with his new colleague Julie Seska and the coroner Ferguson. Next to Terri’s corpse they find a document which resembles a final examination certificate and has the imprint “Failed” on it. William tells them to observe Derek Simmons very closely. In the following night, the next student dies. Amanda Calvin is lured outside to the pool by a phone call and falls victim to the unknown murderer. Later the cops find William in the hotel room of the student Megan Davidson, who also belongs to the group. They just had sex and now they are questioned. The cops get to know the background of the series of murders. Five years ago, Rachel Kincaid committed suicide by falling from a bridge in her car. At that time, she was the favorite for the election of the sorority’s speaker, but she was mobbed by her competitor Kristen Neal, who is also present in Hawaii now.

After Newman and Seska ha clarified these connections, William wants to inform them about something. But before Newman meets him, the young man is killed by the murderer and can only indicate that there is some problem with Rachel. Newman again gets in contact with his colleague Rita in Los Angeles, who had already provided him with the file about Rachel and asks for Simmons. Rita figures out that the editor of the magazine is actually a man named James Derek Kincaid and that he is Rachel’s brother. He has gathered the students in the hotel to get revenge for his sister’s death.

Megan and Kristen, who are the only surviving people among the invited students, meet at the hotel room. It is the fifth anniversary of Rachel’s suicide. Kristen suspects Megan and threatens her with a pistol. Suddenly the lights go out and she forces Megan to go into the hallway where she runs across the murderer. Kristen is about to expel the killer, but accidentally shoots at Seska. Newman arrives in time stop the killer who really proves to be Simmons alias Kincaid. With the help of a photo, the detective realizes that the case is not yet complete. As he had been intimate with the photographer Tayler Cameron before he recognizes her necklace. She is a sister of Rachel and Derek. Now she overwhelms Kristen and threatens to strangle her. When Newman intervenes, she escapes to a rock over the pool. She stabs a knife in her body and falls down into the water. The cop just wants to announce the next corpse, but she attacks him. Newman shoots Tayler in self-defense. At the same time his colleagues in Los Angeles arrest Professor Andrews, who was not only Rachel’s study advisor, but also impregnated his student before she died. When they arrive at the police station, the cop Sam reveals to be another brother of Rachel’s. He shoots the professor.

💎💎A VERY BRADY SEQUEL💎💎- A Very Brady Sequel is a 1996 American comedy film directed by Arlene Sanford (in her feature film directorial debut) with a screenplay by Harry Elfont, Deborah Kaplan, James Berg and Stan Zimmerman and starring Shelley Long, Gary Cole and Tim Matheson. It is the sequel to The Brady Bunch Movie (1995), it followed its predecessor by placing the 1970s Brady Bunch family in a contemporary 1990s setting, where much of the humor is derived from the resulting culture clash and the utter lack of awareness they show toward their relatively unusual lifestyle. A man impersonating Carol Brady’s first husband schemes to get his hands on a priceless family heirloom. Questions then arise about the legality of Mike and Carol’s marriage and the relationship between the Brady brothers and sisters. As Carol is torn between her two “husbands”, Mike struggles to hold the family together and Alice cooks more meatloaf. Like its lively predecessor, The Brady Bunch Movie (1995), this mild comic send-up takes its characters and situations from the popular family sitcom of the 1970s, The Brady Bunch .Set in the ‘90s, it is filled with in-joke references to American pop culture. However, one need not to be familiar with the original series in order to enjoy this film. Bad guy Trevor Thomas (Tim Matheson) is posing as supermom Carol Brady’s long-dead first husband Roy Martin. He claims to have been amnesiac and made unrecognizable by plastic surgery after suffering disfiguring injuries, but in truth, he is on the hunt for a very valuable artifact, an ancient Chinese horse carving which Roy sent to his family from the field. Because of the family’s sheer niceness, they could never imagine such deception and husband Mike Brady (Gary Cole) welcomes him into their midst. This causes Roy no end of frustration, as not only must he live with this incredibly sweet and cheerful family while he searches for the carving, but he must endure having his ill-tempered sarcastic jibes go completely unrecognized. When Carol (Shelley Long) is kidnapped, the whole family goes a-hunting. The Brady’s are surprised when a man claiming to be Carol’s long-lost first husband shows up at their home. Before long, his strange actions cause the unconventional family to question his motives. A man claiming to be Carol Brady’s long-lost husband, Roy Martin, shows up at the suburban Brady residence one evening. An imposter, the man is actually determined to steal the Brady’s familiar horse statue, a $20-million ancient Asian artifact.
