History Film / AngelsRevenge

** Averted with the adults, who are implied to have picked it up rather quickly -- even the dizty model.

* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: The Angels steal weapons and ammo from a right wing militia in order to wage their war on the drug cartel.

* WrenchWench: Terry

** Subverted during the final showdown at the villa, when Keiko is shot in the arm. Although she still manages to kill the henchman who has injured her, she is so overwhelmed by the pain that she stumbles to the ground with a cry of anguish. In later scenes, she has to be supported by another heroine and when the girls reach Trish in the final scene, she is seen panting loudly still in obvious pain.

** During the final showdown at the villa, Keiko is shot in the arm but manages to fight on.
** Trish too; while she's clearly affected by being shot, she is shown caring more about whether her actions earn her a spot among the Angels.

''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 ([[AsHimself 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.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Trish: she gets just a little ''too'' excited at Sticks' [[GroinAttack unwanted bris]][[note]]'''[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Tom]]''': Kids just ''love'' genital mutilation![[/note]], she latches onto a drug dealer's car in order to track him, and she fatally shoots Burke at the end. However, the trope is slightly {{averted}} when she learns how to shoot a gun: she fires it inelegantly, then runs off crying and embarrassed.

Not to be confused with the cheesy 1980's ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086896/combined Angel]]'' films, which included similarly titled sequels as ''Avenging Angel'', ''Angel III: The Final Chapter'' and ''Angel 4: Undercover''.

* BrickJoke: The guy in the outhouse.

* OnlyAFleshWound: While she's clearly affected by being shot, Trish is shown caring more about whether her actions earn her a spot among the Angels.

* RecklessGunUsage: Trish isn't prepared for either the gun recoil or report, then forgets she has a loaded weapon and fires at the floor. Acknowledged by the characters as Elaine says she'll teach Trish proper use of a handgun.

* RunningGag: The aforementioned RummageFail.

* ShowSomeLeg: Michelle during her Vegas show.

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.

* HonestJohnsDealership / SexistUsedCarSalesman: [[GreenAcres Pat Buttram]] plays a folksy car dealer who sells the women a shoddy van. It's implied that he intended to take them for fools, under the idea that women don't know a bad automobile when they see one... the truth is they knew it was crap, but had a WrenchWench on the team who intended to fix it.

* TheSchlubPubSeductionDeduction: Especially egregious when they're dressed in bikinis on a ridiculously cold, foggy day on a deserted beach.

* InterchangeableAsianCultures: 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. What makes it better is that the actress was neither Japanese NOR Vietnamese - she's Chinese.

* AmazonBrigade: Well, yes. It's the entire crux of the film.

* {{Expospeak}}: A radio station recaps the events of the previous scenes.

* TheSeventies: ''And how''.

The original version (''Brigade'') did not have the HowWeGotHere InMediaRes opening. Rather, it started chronologically. The later version (''Revenge'') added the narration by Cole (who was incidentally Greydon Clark's wife).

* AdaptationInducedPlothole: The deletion of Neville Brand's character causes a number of plot holes to crop up - namely, why the female officer is part of the group, why the police never appear involved, and what the girls did with all the cocaine they snagged at the beach.[[note]]The fellows on ''[=MST3K=]'' had their own theories, stating the obvious.[[note]]

* JiggleShow: All that's missing is RussMeyer's name in the credits.
