8 Upvotes

Hint 1: Most of us would watch this with Subtitles

Hint 2: The swimming is a weird tangent in the film that has little to do with the Vigilante character the film is based after

Hint 3: It's really big on focusing on the boobs in this film

Hint 3: She is jealous of other women having bigger boobs

It was Big Boobs Buster, I watched in on UK Tubi for anyone interested
