Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

BA_Harrison Treated insensitively by the police after a harrowing attack by a vicious rapist known as 'Jingle Bells' (named after the song he likes his victims to sing while he does the deed), sexy lunch van lady Linda (Jo Ann Harris) convinces four other rape victims to form a 'rape squad', initially intended to help women in a similar situation, but soon acting as a vigilante squad meting out rough justice to sex pests everywhere.It's shot like a made-for-TV movie, but the script has a gritty mean streak more typical of a sleazy grindhouse flick. It's got a girl-power plot designed to appeal to feminist sensitivities, and yet it panders to the misogynistic male by featuring non stop female nudity from a group of hot women. It's also got gratuitous karate scenes, an awesome pimp by the name of Percy (Jay Fletcher), and a rapist thug who looks like a member of Slipknot (his choice of attire possibly influencing two of horror's most iconic killers) and who forces his victims to thank him for choosing them.For these reasons, Act of Vengeance (AKA The Rape Squad AKA The Violator) is recommended viewing to anyone who gets their kicks from trashy flicks. 7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.

frankpalardy I worked at the company that made this. Actually, many years later I went through the files after the company was bought by MGM. The funny thing is the director had a really Jewish name so he used an alias. (Tells you something about the MPAA that they let him do that.) I haven't seen it myself but when it was made some women working on it complained so they knew they had a problem. It wasn't intentional. AIP made all sorts of terrible films or sometimes bought them. In the files there were notes on the screening from Sam Arkoff like "the dubbing on this is terrible but we can make some money". Back then porno wasn't so easy to get so this type of movie was a substitute.

GorgonHeep "Rape Squad" is a really bad movie; plain and simple. I only wanted to watch this movie because I am a BIG fan of actress Lada Edmund Jr., but even she did next to nothing to perk-up this movie for me. I agree with other comments made, that this movie is disturbing in many ways. Although the dialogue is hokey and atrocious, the rape scenes just seem too realistic and unsettling at times. When the menacing Foul-Mouth attacks his victims, he tortures them by making them sing "Jingle-Bells" while he rapes them. The idea of that alone is horrifying to consider. He brutalizes the women too, with many vicious punches during his attack. To be honest, I fast-forwarded through some of these scenes, because I had no desire to watch them. But as for the acting ability and skills used in "Rape Squad", they are really quite pitiful. The dialogue is annoying and foolish often times. Not that she's a terrific actress, but even my favorite Lada Edmund Jr. had some of the WORST lines in this movie. I mean c'mon, she plays a 5'4 martial-arts instructor named "Tiny", with super-short cropped hair; I guess bad lines are to be expected. Although she's a favorite actress of mine, she only added to the obsurdity of this film. Truthfully, I cannot give anyone good enough reason to watch "Rape Squad". The rape scenes are too much to stomach for most people, and would possibly make you push the "fast-forward" button too. Take-out the rape scenes though, and you're left with one of the most terribly directed and acted movies out there. My advice: don't watch this movie if you can help it. You won't be in right mind-set for a few weeks afterwards.

kevin-167 Parts of this movie are certainly disturbing. The rapist (Foul Mouth) is convincing as the menacing rapist. The main victim played by Jo Ann Harris is certainly attractive as well as determined to exact revenge. I thought the part of the movie where he forces his victims to sing a song was not only unnecessary but it trivialized the rapes themselves.
