AVENGING ANGEL 
(1985)

(From Joe Bob's Ultimate B Movie Guide)


Sequel to the jailbait-hooker classic ANGEL, set four years later, when Angel decides to hang up her crotchless panties and go to law school. But this time some gorilla-face mutants machine-gun a bunch of cops, including Cliff Gorman, the cop who rescued Angel from the streets after she blew away the psycho creep hooker killer. This makes Angel wanna go back to Hollywood Boulevard and find the killers and turn their heads into Rice-a-Roni. But it's not really Cliff Gorman in the sequel--it's some impostor named Robert S. Lyons. More incredible, it's not really Angel! The producers fired the innocent-looking Donna Wilkes and hired Betsy Russell, who looks like she just had a head-on collision with a Max Factor truck. Betsy, a graduate of the Chuck Norris School of Drive-in Acting, does the entire movie with one facial expression, saying things like "I'm gonna get those bastards, so help me God," hanging around with Rory Calhoun and some street freaks, and going to the law library to help her cute hooker friends get out of jail. She befriends Ossie Davis, the police chief, and ends up killing gangsters with the fumes from her makeup kit and attacking a cop with a sack of groceries. Five breasts. Nineteen dead bodies. Kung Fu. Bagel Fu. Female impersonator Fu. Stunt baby. Two motor vehicle chases, one with pet-cemetery hearse.  2 stars
