Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
An absolute waste of money
A Brilliant Conflict
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
View MoreRoger Corman the king of the B movie usually has pretty interesting movies to watch and with this one it's not the greatest still it's a watch for it's story of a strip club being stalked by a killer as strippers are being murdered one by one! At the Rock Bottom dance club in L.A. one by one strippers are turning up dead and this has a detective named Cody(Kay Lenz from 1986's "House")to go undercover as a stripper to get inside the club and strip to help find the killer! On stage she meets some wild characters as these girls are strange they have family problems, drug problems still that doesn't take away from the fact that they look sexy dancing on the pole in their outfits and look good in their sexy colored bras! This film leads you down the dark and wild wicked mean streets of Los Angeles it also stars Greg Evigan(from "BJ and the Bear" and "My Two Dads" fame)as Cody's partner friend and one night stand. Overall this is an exciting suspense sexy thriller that twist with a surprise find when the killer is revealed!
View MoreWhen a stripper by the name of "Angel" (Michelle Foreman) is raped and murdered, "Detective Cody Sheenan" (Kay Lenz) goes under cover and auditions at the strip club in the hope that she can find some clues that will help capture the perpetrator. Backing her up is her partner "Detective Heineman" (Greg Evigan) who keeps his eye on her and makes no secret of the fact that he enjoys her topless performances. Anyway, as far as the merits of the movie are concerned this particular one appeared to just meander from one scene to another and lacked cohesion, passion, eroticism and suspense. Along with that there seemed to be too many characters without any development and simply weren't necessary for the movie. Likewise, the ending was totally bizarre and unrealistic. Even so I liked the performance of Kay Lenz and Norman Fell (as the nightclub owner named "Ray") and because of that I have rated the movie a bit higher than it probably deserved. Slightly below average
View MoreWHen I first saw this film, I must say I wasn't too impressed with it. Poorly lighted in some spots, shoddy acting from some of the girls, a lame twist ending, etc. A few rays of light shines on in this film. The late Norman Fell was one, the gorgeous dancers were too. But I really loved the soundtrack. I think the soundtrack saved this film from being a complete bore.All the girls were excellent dancers,except for Kay Lenz, who despite having a decent body, can't dance to save her life!Greg Evigan was here as the hero, but he was boring too.This is the kind of film one might see on a late night cable program. Something that SHOWTIME or HBO might run at around 2:00 am.
View MoreI watched the two "Stripped to Kill" films back-to-back, and here are a few thoughts on them in case anyone (?) is interested:1. The original is a piece of almost unbelievably sleazy gutter trash. There is no other way to describe it. If this description attracts you, see it, otherwise, AVOID IT. To be fair, though, the revelation of the killer's identity IS a surprise, and Kay Lenz is pretty good under the circumstances.2. The second film is a slightly more polished production (though it still seems rushed), and has a few less strip numbers (though still too many). Again, the finale is kind of unexpected, but other aspects (like dialogue and sets) are very bad.Conclusion: Rent these two films only if you need a voyeuristic fix. "Stripped" is the key word here.
