Savage Streets Reviews

A 1984 film Directed and co-written by Danny Steinmann; about a teenager named Brenda who seeks revenge on a ruthless gang of drug dealers and rapists after an attack on her helpless harmless sister Heather. Confusing what’s tough for what’s stupid, the scars gang tours the streets of Los Angeles completely careless of their surroundings; unless that is, it appeals to them. Getting more than what they bargained for when a group of girls denied they’re request for a good time, the embarrassed group takes matters into their own hands and savagely dish out an act of revenge all their own. The foul mouthed group rapes Brenda’s sister and opens the door to pure insanity; and one pissed off chick with a cross bow! The streets are the battle ground for an epic battle of exploitive proportions! With the school’s principal unwilling to take actions, and the police being total “pussies”, Brenda and friends arm themselves and unite to settle the score against the gang named the Scars. In this film, there are many aspects and scenes depicting graphic violence and situations of rape, revenge, and overall anarchy in the lives of America’s youth. Among other films who try to capture this feeling, Savage Streets is one of the only films to actually make all of these things unbelievably convincing; and leave you stuck in the 80’s. The last time I felt like this while watching a movie (at least the rape sequences) was while viewing The Last House on The Left. As far as the fight in the ladies shower room, I don’t think I’ve EVER seen so many naked women randomly fighting. I thought someone slipped in Porky’s while I was getting some green tea. Linda Blair’s character is awesome is this movie. Fearless, tough and fucking pissed off all the time. The tub scene is awesome, because not only is Linda Blair naked, she’s angry, and the song in the background along with the slow zoom into her face filled with vengeance shows the chaos pending that will unfold. I especially liked how there was a struggle between Brenda and Jake, making it not only longer of a sequence, but way more personal too.

Fargo: The game’s over bitch. This time you’re dead for sure. First, I’m gonna fuck you. And then, I’m gonna slice you into little pieces.
Brenda: Sounds nice and kinky to me. Too bad your not double jointed.
Fargo: Why?
Brenda: Cuz if you were, You’d be able to bend over and kiss your ass goodbye!
