In the middle of all this tension and violence, beautiful Chinese teenager Tyan-Hwa falls in love with Tony, a pizza delivery boy. “China Girl” Vudu – https://www.vudu.com/content/movies/details/China-Girl/75140 "Streets of Vengeance" Blu-Ray Review (Slasher//Video) Review by MrParka Slasher Video brings the new revenge throwback “Streets of Vengeance” to Blu-Ray and DVD. From the director of “Cinco De Mayo,” a previous Slasher Video release and the only holiday horror that takes places on the Mexican fiesta, comes a tale of revenge, misogyny, and 80s attire. “Streets of Vengeance” follows recently retired adult film actress Mila Lynn (Delawna McKinney). Mila is savagely attacked by a member of a chauvinistic sadistic group of men out to “clean the streets” after appearing on television to dismiss rumors about the porn industry. Mila’s attack is live streamed and is thought to be killed. Mila luckily survives and surprises her attacker, gaining the upper hand. This starts our resilient lead on a revenge spree to wipe out this new group, but Mila can’t do it alone. She enlists the help of some adult entertainment friends and an infatuated journalist. “Streets of Vengeance” presents itself as if it is part of a late night television program in the vein of “Up All Night,” including fake trailers and a bubbly host in a bikini. “Streets of Vengeance” has a lot on its plate. Not only is it trying to be a throwback with goofy and bloody moments, but also tries to make a statement on adult entertainment stars and the men who both hate and desire them. Most of the characters are played on an elevated level; they are over the top and some a bit too much. This causes some of the comedy to be a little too goofy at times, especially with the aggressive MMA/porn star boyfriend character. The villains in the film are despicable, they are without a doubt disgusting, sniveling excuses for human beings and their agenda is as repulsive and insane as their methods and character. This is, of course, the intent and the audience will get joy out of their demise. The soundtrack is pulsating and 80s to the core, it’s wonderfully fitting and equally catchy and should please most. The wardrobe and lighting also are pretty dead on for the time frame the film is taking place in, it all works and looks appealing. As for the special effects, they aren’t quite as strong. The film makers are working on a budget and the effects lack a bit, especially some awful CGI. This problem is probably only as noticeable because of the success of the previous accomplishments. The movie usually surpasses its budget constraints, but here it falls a little flat. The acting in the film ranges as some of the actors and actresses go over the top a bit too much and distract from the narrative, taking away the impact of certain scenes. This isn’t everyone and a few of the key players stand out, including the journalist, Brian (Anthony Iava To'omata,) who may not be the most talented in front of the camera, but has plenty of screen presence and charisma. The cameos in the film are welcomed and include some former and current porn stars, most notably Ginger Lynn who gives one of the best and most realistic performances in the film. All and all “Streets of Vengeance” is a good looking low budget film that wears its influences on its sleeve; it has heart and dedication and shows it in a lot of areas. “Streets of Vengeance” has a slew of features including a commentary, cast interviews, and a making of featurette. The making of featurette is an entertaining addition to the disc and it was a pleasure to see the film makers mention films like “Chick Boxer” causally flexing some of their film knowledge. “Streets of Vengeance” is presented well on Blu-Ray and has a nice amount of features to keep one happy. A throwback to the gritty action-thrillers of the 80s (Angel, Vice Squad, Ms. 45), Streets of Vengeance stars Delawna McKinney (Cinco De Mayo) as Mila, an ex-porn star whose decision to leave the industry is interrupted when she’s kidnapped by a militant misogynist sect known as The Sword, intent on ridding the world of women who they believe are using their sexual powers to destroy men. The Sword’s plans are thwarted when Mila kills her captor, and with the help of Brian (Anthony To’omata, Cinco De Mayo), a local journalist, escapes. Emboldened, Mila recruits her friends from the adult film community who form a ragtag militia and set out to destroy the cult of The Sword. Rounding out the cast is a bevy of adult film actresses including Ginger Lynn Allen (Sunset Stripped), Joanna Angel (All Access P.O.V.), Sophie Dee (Out of Control) and Alexis Amore (Bario Bitches). Also featured are Daniel James Moody (Brothers) and Bryan Hurd (Fever Dream). Streets of Vengeance is written and directed by Paul Ragsdale (Cinco De Mayo, Brothers), produced by Angelica De Alba (Cinco De Mayo co-writer), photographed by Dan Zampa and scored by Vestron Vulture.

When Okita Isamu (Bunta Sugawara, Cops VS Thugs) re-emerges onto the mean streets of Kawazaki after five years in prison for a string of brutal crimes, he comes face to face with prostitute Kinuyo, who immediately pinpoints him as one of the participants in her brutal sexual assault years earlier that left her shell-shocked and consigned to the life of a sex worker. While the two outcasts form an unlikely bond, Okita returns to his criminal ways. He is approached by veteran gangster Kizaki (Noboru Andô, Graveyard of Honour), who encourages him to round up a group of local chinpira street punks to shake up the uneasy agreement between the two rival yakuza groups, who between them control the city's bars, gambling dens and entertainment areas. However, when the new outfit goes too far into the turf of the big boys, they find themselves caught in the midst of a violent reprisal, before an offer of patronage appears from an unlikely source. Street Mobster is the first film in which Fukasaku's vital and exhilarating approach to the contemporary-set gangster picture was paired with the untamed, raw charisma of Japan's top screen mobster Sugawara Bunta. The film would change the life of both, paving the way for their subsequent collaborations on the landmark Battles Without Honour and Humanity series that began the following year.
