When I write one of these things, I generally try to sound reasonably intelligent. I try to do more than write "It SUX" or "Best Movie I've Ever Seen". I honestly try to put a little more thought into it than that. But with Angel's Revenge (or Angels' Brigade – which I actually prefer), I'm at a loss. Angel's Revenge has to be one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. No deep insightful stuff here – just stupid! At every opportunity, the movie completely insulted my intelligence. Want an example? – The mere fact that this group of women in matching white jumpsuits could sneak into a heavily guarded compound with their feathered hair and jiggling breasts and successfully disarm the bad guys with their lame attempts at martial arts and blow-up the place would insult the intelligence of anyone with an IQ above that of pond scum.With that being said, it's hard to admit that I actually enjoyed much of Angel's Revenge. Regardless of how bad it was, I was inexplicably entertained. There's just something about mindless 70s junk that I can't resists. I can't bring myself to rate it any lower than a 4/10.Angel's Revenge is yet another MST3K viewing for me. I've always thought that MST3K did some of their best work with movies like this (include Mitchell and San Francisco International in that mix). The riffs are often laugh-out-loud funny. On my MST3K rating scale, I give this episode a 4/5 – an episode worth seeking out. Finally, I've seen Angel's Revenge compared with Charlie's Angels in a number of reviews. While Charlie's Angels may have "inspired" the making of Angel's Revenge, the comparison should end there. Kate, Jaclyn, and Farrah come across as thespians when compared with this group of women!

Let's see. There was the idea that seven women without any sort of training of any kind would bring down a drug kingpin. There was the fact that none of these women ever thought to call in the police. There was the drug kingpin who stored millions of dollars of drugs in a ludicrously unguarded "processing compound." There was this famous pop star who can apparently get around Los Angeles completely unrecognized. There was a "Vietnamese" character with a Japanese name. There was this high school girl hanging on to the trunk of a Caddy, uncommented upon by other drivers, as it sped through LA.There were appearances by such actors as Jack Palance, Jim Backus(if you watch MST3K's version, Angel's Revenge, you can actually hear Mike and the bots groan when Backus makes his appearance), Peter Lawford(Tom Servo: "Do you think Peter Lawford even knows where he is?") and Arthur Godfrey. And there were plot holes aplenty and lots more awfulness besides this.All of this and more make for one of the worst movies ever made by anyone. That anybody thought this was a good idea and that actors of the caliber of Jack Palance agreed to participate is mind-boggling. Watch the MST3K version which is one of their best efforts.

"Angels' Brigade" is about as angelic as a root canal. Seemingly produced for a bunch of men whose hormones outweigh their body mass, the movie follows a bunch of big-breasted women who set out to bring down a drug kingpin's empire. Since there's not really any plot, the movie is mainly noticeable because it stars two "Gilligan's Island" cast members: Alan Hale and Jim Backus (and wouldn't you know it, they don't even get to share any scenes). Although I gave the movie one star, it gets five out of four stars when shown on "MST3K", and that's only because it gives Mike, Servo and Crow an incentive to come up with some great comments. I'd say that that episode was their most "Gilligan's Island"-related, not just because "Angels' Brigade" stars the Skipper and Mr. Howell, but also because certain scenes prompt Mike and the 'bots to mention Bob Denver, Natalie Schaefer and Tina Louise (what, no Russell Johnson or Dawn Wells?).

I can hardly image how a film could be worse then this abomination of celluloid. DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM! There is nothing good about it. This is the first film that has ever made me consider suicide as a way to make the film end (and I am not joking about that one). Words can not describe how bad this movie is.
