Sweet Justice - 5 donne per una vendetta

Sunny (Finn Carter) gathers her kick boxing girlfriends and a cop (Marc 'the Beastmaster' Colton) to get revenge after her sister is killed by a toxic waste dumping creep by the name of Billy Joe (the late Frank Gorshin known always as The Riddler from the old Batman show). We know he's 'evil' from the get go because he smokes (the horror, the horror). OK so technically she's killed by a dog, but if the movie was about a gang of women using martial arts against canines, the movie would probably be slightly sillier (but probably marginally better) So anyways, obviously all the pretty girls can kick any man's ass from here to there and they do in their quest to bring Billy Joe down. So I guess one could classify this as a feminist eco-friendly action flick with one gratuitous hot tub scene. You know the kind Steven Seagal would be making if he was still a valuable commodity. The first half of this film is deathly dull as nothing happen and the film moves at a snail's pace, so much so that when the 'action' starts, even the most hardened B-movie veteran will be lulled to a near comatose state. This is one step above "Chickboxer"

My Grade: D-

Billy Joe Rivas (Frank Gorshin) is a local baddie who is pouring toxic waste into the ground...and into the water. When he's confronted by a spunky lady, he pretends to care. Later he sends his mean looking German Shepherd to kill her. At her funeral, her kickboxing estranged sister arrives and soon she learns about Billy Joe...and decides to kick some butt...though since Gorshin is almost 60 here, it shouldn't be THAT difficult!

The film has a few names...actors like Marc Singer and Mickey Rooney who simply were looking for work. Otherwise it has a lot of lesser known talent and the film looks like a third-tier picture...one that never was meant as a big film and more one you might see on cable very late at night or on YouTube (where I found it). Overall, not a very good film but not terrible either. I agree with movieman_kev who thinks it is the type film you might see Steven Seagel starring it these days.

I have seen this movie twice. Personally I am a big fan of these kind of movies in which you see lots of females fighting against men. In this movie -containing a ridiculous plot- the attractions are 6 beautiful girls revenging the murder of one of these girls' sister. All girls have been former military commando members but never been brought in service because they were supposed be too vulnerable according to a higher hierarchy. Sunny Justice who's sister has been killed by the corrupt sheriff gathers all former female members together to revenge the killing and to prove for themselves that they certainly can destroy men if necessary. All member are martial art experts and do some exercises before they come into action. When at one point the whole bunch of bad guys are in the village, the girls gang strike with brute force. What you see next are lots of m/f fights. In all the fights you see the men being beaten the shit out of them. Especially one scene shows an impressive fight between a busty girl (with the hair-band) beating the shit out of a man with nice kicks and punches. She finishes him with a flying kick in his chest. Later on in the movie the fights are done with guns and stuff. This shows less interesting scenes. But nevertheless if you like movies with a plot even a recent born baby can comprehend and you like goodlooking lethal babes, this movie is definitely a must rent.
