ANGEL
 (1984)

(From Joe Bob's Ultimate B Movie Guide)


"High school student by day, hooker by night" is pretty much the whole high-concept of this flick about a 15- year-old girl from El Lay who likes to go down to Hollywood Boulevard and hang out with the geeks, perverts, pimps and realtors. One of her friends is Dick Shawn, who likes to dress up like a real ugly woman and threaten to hit people with his purse. Another one is Rory Calhoun, who's just a boring old cowboy actor. Then there's the wimp magician who stands around doing his kind of tricks, plus the landlady with orange punkola hair, and, oh yeah, the necessary-to-the-plot psycho hooker killer, John Diehl, who likes to make love to dead bodies and suck the yolk out of the bottom of an egg while he's looking at a picture of his mama and pump iron and drool and scrub himself raw with a brush and dress up like a Hare Krishna. He starts knocking off the friends of Angel, the little dark-haired fox played by Donna Wilkes, but she doesn't like cops, especially Cliff Gorman, because he's so boring. So she gets Rory Calhoun to teach her how to fire a gun and pretty soon you can paint the streets red. Two pints blood. Thirty breasts (figure artificially enlarged by two shower scenes). Eight dead bodies. One motor vehicle chase.  3 stars
