Despite what MST 3 K says, it\'s not an example of Accent On The Wrong Syllable. Her emphasis makes perfect sense for what she\'s trying to say. Also, Broken Aesop is for when a work explicitly states that ___ is its\' message, but presents it in such a way as to make doing what it says look bad. This is more like Family Unfriendly Aesop, so I\'m moving it to YMMV/ tab under that. Also fixing sinkholes, misuse of Five Man Band, and commenting out Zero Context Examples.

[[caption-width-right:248:[[CoversAlwaysLie No, none of these scenes happen in the film.]]]]
''Angels Revenge'' is a 1979 movie from Arista Films, directed by Greydon Clark. It is also known as ''Angels' Brigade'' and ''Seven from Heaven''.
The movie focuses on seven women who decide to fight the local drug cartel. The brother of Michelle Wilson, a Las Vegas pop singer, is found severely beaten. When taken to the hospital, the young man is found to have been on illegal drugs. The singer meets with April, her brother's teacher, who reveals that she's secretly been gathering intelligence on the cartel's local drug processing plant, and Michelle agrees to help April with a plan to destroy the plant. With Michelle's fame opening the door, they recruit four more women with special skills and connections to help them carry out their audacious goal. As they plan their first strike, they discover high-schooler Trish spying on them. The student gets relegated to phone duty, but eventually worms her way into their escapades. The "Angels" not only destroy the processing plant, but also manage to intercept one of the shipments. As a result, the women receive unwelcome attention from the local drug cartel.
Angels Revenge has major roles for Peter Lawford and Jack Palance as the leaders of a drug cartel, and gives minor roles to famous character actors Jim Backus, Alan Hale, Jr., Pat Buttram and Arthur Godfrey (playing himself). Of the actresses who played the movie's seven female protagonists, however, the closest any had previously come to any degree of fame was Robin Greer, who won prominent roles on ''Ryan's Hope'' and ''Falconcrest''. Susan Kiger was the Playboy Playmate of the Month for January 1977, and played singer Michelle Wilson; her co-stars were Sylvia Anderson as stuntwoman Terry Grant, Lieu Chinh as martial arts instructor Keiko Umaro, Jacqueline Cole as high-school teacher April, Noela Velasco as model Maria, and Robin Greer as policewoman Elaine Brenner. Robin's younger sister Liza Greer plays high-school student Trish, who invites herself into the team.

''Angels Revenge'' is a 1979 movie from Arista Films, directed by Greydon Clark. It is also known as ''Angels' Brigade'' and ''Seven from Heaven''.
The movie focuses on seven women who decide to fight the local drug cartel. The brother of Michelle Wilson, a Las Vegas pop singer, is found severely beaten. When taken to the hospital, the young man is found to have been on illegal drugs. The singer meets with April, her brother's teacher, who reveals that she's secretly been gathering intelligence on the cartel's local drug processing plant, and Michelle agrees to help April with a plan to destroy the plant. With Michelle's fame opening the door, they recruit four more women with special skills and connections to help them carry out their audacious goal. As they plan their first strike, they discover high-schooler Trish spying on them. The student gets relegated to phone duty, but eventually worms her way into their escapades. The "Angels" not only destroy the processing plant, but also manage to intercept one of the shipments. As a result, the women receive unwelcome attention from the local drug cartel.
Angels Revenge has major roles for Peter Lawford and Jack Palance as the leaders of a drug cartel, and gives minor roles to famous character actors Jim Backus, Alan Hale, Jr., Pat Buttram and Arthur Godfrey (playing himself). Of the actresses who played the movie's seven female protagonists, however, the closest any had previously come to any degree of fame was Robin Greer, who won prominent roles on ''Ryan's Hope'' and ''Falconcrest''. Susan Kiger was the Playboy Playmate of the Month for January 1977, and played singer Michelle Wilson; her co-stars were Sylvia Anderson as stuntwoman Terry Grant, Lieu Chinh as martial arts instructor Keiko Umaro, Jacqueline Cole as high-school teacher April, Noela Velasco as model Maria, and Robin Greer as policewoman Elaine Brenner. Robin's younger sister Liza Greer plays high-school student Trish, who invites herself into the team.

!!The movie provides examples of:
* AbsenteeActor: In a rare instance of this trope appearing in a movie, Neville Brand (who plays Miller) is completely cut out of some versions of the film (inlcuding the one used on MST3K), despite his name being left in the credits.
* AbsoluteCleavage
* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: Elaine in some scenes.
-->'''Elaine:''' It's a nice IDEA, but it's not a PLAN.
* ActionGirl: Seven of them, to be precise.
* AllAsiansAreAlike: Keiko has a Japanese name and wields a katana, but is introduced as being from Vietnam. Technically it's possible, but given the general intelligence level of this movie as a whole, it's far more likely that TheyJustDidntCare.
** Also, the actress playing her was Chinese.
* AmazonBrigade
* BrickJoke: The guy in the outhouse.
* BrokenAesop: Violence and torture are a-okay if they're used by sexy heroines against drug pushers.
** Also, "Fame Equals Trustworthy."
* [[CoolCar Cool Seventies Van]]
** WeaponizedCar: Terry made a few modifications.
* CreatorCameo: Writer/director Greydon Clark makes a cameo as the director of Terry's film shoot.
* DaChief: Miller, who is Elaine's gruff superior at the police station. He doesn't approve of the Angels' hijinks or Elaine's involvement, but he eventually warms to the idea--when the Angels bring the captured drugs to his office [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey while in their bathing suits]].
* DeadHatShot: After the WaterfallShower scene, the Angels force the mooks who tried to capture them to submerge themselves in the pond. One of the mooks is wearing a cowboy hat that floats on the surface after he goes under.
* {{Deleted Scene}}s: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdceZMZ6yFk A few]] that were missing from some cuts of the movie (including the version used on MST3K). Highlights include the van construction montage, Elaine talking to Miller about the Angels, an extended tour of the completed van, Trish complaining ([[RunningGag yet again]]) that the other Angels never let her do anything, Elaine and the Angels dropping off the captured drugs with Miller, and April rescuing the other Angels from the bad guys during the infamous WaterfallShower scene.
* DrugsAreBad
* {{Expospeak}}: A radio station recaps the events of the previous scenes.
* FanserviceExtra: For about five seconds in a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdceZMZ6yFk#t=616s one scene,]] we see a bikini-clad brunette floating in Burke's pool while [[EroticEating eating a lollypop suggestively]]. And this is in a movie that's already pretty darn high in the {{fanservice}} department.
