Patzer
Wells the main female in character goes into a gun shop to by the gun, there is only one problem with this. Even in the 1980s, ballistics was still a accepted science and would have been used to link a gun to the multiple murders in the film, and she bought if from a gun shop, were not only could the gun shop owner recognize her, but could certainly link the gun to her. She is supposed to be a female vigilante, and she should have been smarter then this. She should have bought it from a illegal gun dealer were they would have wiped the serial numbers, making the gun a ghost gun. This makes very little sense, and is a plot hole.

Makes life in NYC look pretty scary

The film is full of sex and violence and reinforces what George Gerbner and his associates at the University of Pennsylvania claim about fictionalized TV and film violence leading us into a "Mean World Syndrome" perception of reality. New York City comes off looking pretty terrible and the males who inhabit it even worse. They are all thugs and sex-starved beasts who live only to drink and attack women. It's not a pretty place to be. The plot is a mirror image of the Bronson "Death Wish" films, but with a female vigilante who goes out to exact revenge on her rapist attackers. It also parallels "Sudden Impact" very strongly. Hence the title "Sudden Death." Poor acting and uninspired editing, but the film accomplishes its mission: to make us angry and retaliatory and vindictive. It is full of action and punks whom we are happy to see extinguished. Recommended to those who love vigilante movies and can suspend disbelief in many instances during this 90 minute get-even flick.
