Production

Angel of H.E.A.T. was filmed in 1981 under the title The Protectors, Book #1.[1] The film was shot in the Lake Tahoe region.[3]

Release

Lor of Variety stated that by 1983 the theatrical market for films like Angel of H.E.A.T. had changed so much that the film was unreleased and shown as "cable-tv filler" and as a home video title.[1] The film was first released in 1983,[1][4] and on DVD on January 13, 2004 by Monterey Video.[2]

Reception

Lor gave the film a negative review, noting poorly executed martial arts sequences, and that the film "wanders for the first few reels, with lots of dumb puns, bare breasts and failed gags".[3] In his book reviewing horror and science fiction films, Donald Willis declared the film to be "failed semi-camp" and that it was "iffy even as a showcase for Marilyn Chambers" noting that the filmmakers seemed to believe that the narrative would be of more interest than Chambers' role which, he considered a "bad miscalculation".[4]

gollark: You probably need lots of specialists to work on stuff, even if you can fit all the fancy equipment.
gollark: It might end up *still* being impractically big if you want near-modern tech.
gollark: The hardest parts would probably be semiconductors and some chemicals and other stuff like that which requires very high precision.
gollark: Currently, manufacturing technology isn't good enough that you can conveniently make all the stuff you might want on a small space station/moonbase.
gollark: You can actually semi-automatically farm fish with construction bots and a large lake.
