Directed by David Sheldon with a story by Lawrence D. Foldes, the film follows Mary Ann "Lovely" Lovitt (Dooling), who goes back to high school to find the drug pushers that she holds responsible for the death of her brother, who died from an overdose.[1][2]

The film features several fight scenes, with Lovitt using kung fu to deal with an array of villains.[1]

It was subsequently released on VHS by Vestron Video.

Reception

Daniel R. Budnik, in his book 80s Action Movies on the Cheap, calls the film "enjoyable" but "schizophrenic", stating "the film's style changes so much there could be ten directors involved".[1] Shock Cinema called it an "amusingly braindead romp".[3]

gollark: You can run it off Mekanism universal cables to power it from RF with no transformer weirdness.
gollark: Your fabricator has too little power then.
gollark: Milo has the nice advantage of not needing "blank patterns" and such, but its autocrafting solver is bad and the UI is obviously not as native.
gollark: Just buy power from the GTech™ fusion reactor.
gollark: By "them", I actually mean matter fabricators.
