Savage Streets - 1984

Linda Blair makes a triumphant return to this site, in a classic 80's rape-and-revenge thriller which is also the only movie to have both Linda Blair and Linnea Quigley.  So set your eyes to maximum wideness because you know that means nudity galore.

Seriously, it's not that much.  There isn't a lot in the beginning, but eventually when there's the girls shower scene, well, this movie makes up for it.  We are talking about 30 fully nude women, many many breasts, many asses.  Full on pubic hair is in this movie multiple times, and Linda Blair even goes topless later for a more intimate, mature nude scene.

So it's a basic rape and revenge movie.  Linnea Quigley plays a young deaf mute woman, and this gang of thugs decides to rape and beat her.  It's initiation time see, and the newest gangmember has to prove his stuff by participating in this whole thing.  Linnea Quigley plays the part well, and the scene is pretty harsh, and Linda Blair as the sister is outraged.  Later, the chief gang leader Jake crosses the line by killing Linda Blair's friend, and Linda learns of this, and is now out for revenge.  So actually I guess this is a rape, murder and revenge thriller.

Savage Streets marks a true 80's movie.  Excessive sexuality, ridiculous stars and over acting, and all for what, a basic plot?  It's obvious when this movie came out.  Not in a negative way really, I'm just saying it's pretty insane the difference between this and something earlier or something later.

It's probably in the "unessential" side of things, but it's fun for the nudity, for the actors, and for a quick background type movie.  I will give it....2 stars.

The Petrified Forest - 1936

 FUCK! I guessed one year off.  I'm going back to Bogie. We just don't have actors like him anymore. To jump into that,  I'd say...
