Avenging Angel (1985)
Betsy Russell is Angel (taking over from Donna Wilkes in the first movie). Angel is an ex hooker turned lawyer and she’s pretty smart (Yeah right!).
Angel hits the streets again when the cop who got her off the streets four years ago, Lt. Hugh Andrews, is killed by a crime organisation trying to take over Hollywood Boulevard. Angel pulls together some of her old street buddies to help with a spot of vengeance.
Rory Calhoun slums it again as Kitt Carson, some kind of old western movie star.
Susan Tyrell as Solly Mosler, an old foul-mouthed ex hooker with no redeeming factors whatsoever.
Barry Pearl is Johnny Glitter, a waste of space who basically throws glitter around (Always good on the vengeance trail).
This film stinks on every level possible. It doesn’t actually know what it wants to be.....A tough revenge thriller or a not very funny comedy. I chose the latter.
Betsy Russel is gorgeous as hell but she has the acting ability of a purple wheelie bin.
Best things about the film are Ossie Davis who turns up in a couple of scenes as a police captain (Must have needed a bill paying) and the great Frank Doubleday (Assault on Precinct 13 & Escape From New York) as the son of the crime boss.
Robert Vincent O'Neill proves why he didn’t make a career out of directing as he lets this baby fall straight through his hands (If you see the film you’ll understand what I mean by that line and how clever it is).
Waste of 90 minutes
Best line – IBack off or I’ll blow your balls into space
