    Avenging Angel (1985)

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    This sequel to Angel (1984) has former teen hooker Molly “Angel” Stewart (now played by Betsy Russell replacing winsome Donna Wilkes, star of the first film) now studying law at university full-time, having given up her nighttime job of prostitution.

    When Lieutenant Andrews (Robert Lyons), the vice cop who rescued her from the streets, is murdered by gangsters, Angel returns Downtown (packing a .357 Magnum) to the seedy Hollywood Boulevard area she knows so well in order to avenge his death.

    She frees her old pal, ageing cowboy stuntman Kit Carson (Rory Calhoun), from the old people’s home and together with her other old street friends she tracks down the bad guys.

    The gritty, sleazy atmosphere that made the original film realistic and disturbing is missing in Avenging Angel and the sequel seems more camp than ‘street’, but it’s an entertaining flick all the same.

    This is what they promised us when I was a kid. What happened? 

All I have is 700 channels of rubbish on the TV in High Def, TikTok, Facebook and a phone I can take photographs with . . .

    Ironically, this post has jumped off the page at me. You'll probably get most traffic today because everyone will want to see what they might be missing!
