please humour me if you will and for a minute while i read you the back of the alley cat vhs box . it say that representin this part of the city every street be a dead end on every corner something to buy in every alley another way to die to survive youre get to be the best just like the alley cat . alley cat this lady own the night . on the street where even the predator become victim she know how to survive cross her and you have run out of luck . alley cat this animal be arouse . now isn not that one of the most pathetic blurb you have ever hear in your life . whoever write that must be insane if they think such a awful description could tempt u into view the video . yet unfortunately and whichever faceless individual be responsible for that tragic use of english be do their job only too well . the movie contain within the little plastic case be as bad a it sound and and then some . karin mani play the title role and and the script basically tell her during every give scene to either a ) pout like a goldfish b ) kick male butt or c ) show off her feminine attribute . no complaint about the latter and but in term of the other two . let just say she isn not much of an actress and and be even less convincing a a martial art expert . but even meryl streep with cynthia rothrock body ( what a scary thought ) would fail to save this movie . the unfolding of the plot be boring beyond belief and a we get one ineptly direct fight sequence after enough and pause only for hysterical courtroom shenanigan and the occasional gag induce love scene with the interestingly name robert torti . the camera work also follow a similar path of shame and with far too many unneeded close ups and continuity error abound . the part that i think really sum this scum bucket of a movie up be where our heroine be sexually assault and and find herself testify in front of a corrupt judge while her rich kid rapist leer at her from the box . not only do he get off scot free despite the overwhelming evidence against him and but she herself be then jail for dare to protest about the verdict in front of his honour . behind bar and she then have a group shower and a lesbian crush and a couple of cat fight and a nice and sweaty game of volleyball before be release on bail to continue her battle . this ten minute section have nothing to do with the rest of the movie and and the screenplay grind to a halt to encompass it . i can only imagine the producer want to add a bit more t and a to the mix and and come up with this needless sub plot a a mean to achieve that end . which kinds of begs the question and be this an exploitation film and or a serious drama . neither and be my response to that . it isn not sleazy or camp enough to appeal to fan of troma style cinema and and it certainly doesn not make the grade a an exploration of one woman fight against the system . purely because it be so appallingly make . so who on earth would want to see it . lunatic and i guess . or imdb reviewer who stay up till 3pm and watch any old rubbish on the box while try to get to sleep . sadly on this occasional i fail and and the horror will stay with me for quite some time . don not make the same mistake i do . have a hot milk and or something . negative .
