Angels Revenge (1979)

Apparently we needed a Charlie's Angels rip-off after all? A group of women from different backgrounds aka stereotypes (school teacher, Las Vegas entertainer, model et cetera) are drawn together by a shared dislike for drugs and drugs pushers and form a commando group in matching cute white outfits...

The film starts right in the middle of the action as the group (which includes Jacqulin Cole, Susan Kiger and Sylvia Anderson) attack a ragtag compound in the middle of the woods which apparently is a drug processing plant. Amid much gunplay, and an attack by a rather cheap and flimsy looking combat vehicle, the drug gang is defeated but then we jump back to find out exactly what is going on and how the attack came about... this includes Jack Palance as a drug baron, a song in a night club and some beaten up kids. Goofy action on a beach and some of the most ridiculous right wing extremists you'll ever see.

Naturally it doesn't really make a lot of sense and is a low budget exploitation film making the most of attractive women in tight spandex fighting the drug gang. It is low on film making quality but high on cheese. Enjoyable enough if not taken seriously at all.
