The Revenger Girl: Brenda
The Movie: Savage Streets
Weapons of Choice: Bow and Arrow, Bear Traps, Lighter and Flammable Material
Plot: Many times, while watching this film, I found myself screaming that this movie was the greatest fucking thing I’d ever seen. Sassy teenage girls? Mundo cussing? Preppy bitches? A guy on FIRE? Linda motherfucking Blair? This movie and I were meant to be together.
Brenda is just your average tough girl that wears sunglasses at night, cusses a fuckton, smokes a fuckton, and loves her sweeter than sweet deaf and mute little sister.
Brenda and her posse are sauntering the streets one night when they local punk rock assholes almost run Brenda’s sister over. Brenda, pissed to the nth degree, decides to jack their car and take it for a little joy ride. This pisses off the punk rockers quite a bit and they decide to exact revenge by raping Brenda’s little sister and killing one of Brenda’s BFFs. What the shit, assholes? She steals your car for 20 minutes and this is your fucking reaction?!? Well, Brenda decides that the punk rockers are going to pay for their crimes--with their lives. Asshole one, meet these arrows in your face. Asshole two, meet this bear trap on your face. And asshole three, you're on fire! :O
Good or Bad?: LINDA BLAIR! I mean, good! As I said before, this movie and I were meant to be together. Part of the charm of the film is the badass performance given by Linda Blair. She’s almost like the proto Buffy, but with more cussing. And no vampires.
Also, did I mention that one of Brenda’s kills features a guy on fire? I know I did, but it’s worth saying again. The image of a man completely consumed by flames is such a rarity in film--and the result is usually hilariously over the top. The fire victim always manages to stumble around for a good 3 minutes before crashing through something. And the punk rocker in Savage Streets is no exception (he crashes through a window).
It’s such an undignified Looney Tunes death fit for this asshole of epic proportions.

Man Linda Blair is such a badass...she can vomit gooey green things, climb down the stair while doing the bridge and she can wear her sunglasses at night ( so she can so she can)
I prefer Linda Blair's comedies, like The Exorcist, for example.
:)
I think this ranks pretty high as far a comedy type film. There IS a dude on fire after all. :p
