This poster explodes with neon energy: The Go-Go’s, dressed in torn sundresses and beach gear, strike fierce action poses on a sun-soaked tropical island. Belinda Carlisle is ready to fight, Jane Wiedlin wields a broken guitar neck, and Charlotte Caffey knows how to hot-wire a speedboat when she needs to, all while Gina Schock and Kathy Valentine fend off villains with drumsticks and guns.

The backdrop is pure Miami Vice—palm trees, speedboat chases, and fiery explosions. The plot? A dream vacation gone wrong when the band stumbles onto an international smuggling ring, forcing them to fight for survival.

Set in a neon-lit cyberpunk city, this poster has Bananarama (Siobhan, Keren, and Sara) in coordinated jumpsuits, dodging lasers and wielding microphone stands like martial arts weapons. The villain’s lair glows in the background, hinting at a high-stakes heist.

The movie sees Bananarama battling a tech mogul who’s stolen their demo—containing secret codes that could topple governments. Expect martial arts, hacking, and a cameo by Dolph Lundgren as “The Technician.”
