The lack of police do make the streets savage

Warning: Spoilers
****SPOILERS**** The first thing that I noticed right at the beginning of the movie "Savage Streets", and then waited and waited until the film was just about over, is that there were no police or law enforcement personal in the movie at all. This in a film with a murder a hit and run killing a rape drug dealing and brutal beatings and a gory final. With three persons getting stabbed chopped and burned to a crisp sprinkled throughout the movie until the very last scene when all the damage was already done and there was nothing left for the cops, who finally arrived, left to do to but to clean up the mess.

There was a brutal rape and beating of the movies star Linda Blair, Brenda's, sweet and innocent but hearing impaired and mute sister Heather,Linnca Quigley, by a gang of drug dealers Jake Vince Fargo & Red, Robert Dryer Johnny Venocur Sal Landi & Scott Myer. This outrage happens at the school gym that lasted for what seemed like a hour. With nobody hearing what was happening to poor Heather and calling for help. Even after she was found later there were no police at the scene at all.

There was also the scene where Jake throws another high school girl and good friend of Brenda Francine, Lisa Freemen, off a high bridge to her death in broad daylight with cars zooming back and forth with nobody bothering to call the cops. There was another scene at the MX disco where Jake and his friends savagely beat two persons almost to death with again no police being call to stop the bleeding. In fact the band playing didn't even miss a beat in their song as if the beating of the two was part of their act.

Linda Blair is at her friskiest and sexy best as Brenda in the movie as she takes on all comers.Having it out with Cindy, Rebecca Perle, who accused her of stealing her boyfriend Wes, Brian Mann, in a really wild cat fight in the girls gym shower. Later in the classroom Brenda has Cindy running for her life and from embarrassment as she pulled off her blouse and left her topless. Brenda also takes on the brutal drug gang after she found out who beat and raped her sister and killed her best friend from Vince. Vince got sick when he was forced to participate in the gang-rape and beating of Heather and finally quit the group, which later cost him his life, when they murdered Francine.

In full battle attire Brenda finishes off both Fargo & Red with a arrow from her cross-bow right in Fargo's throat. Then, after he slipped and fell, having a pair of bear-traps close around Red's leg and neck causing him to bleed to death. As well as her giving Jake such a work over that even Jason Voorhees of "Friday the Thirteenth" fame wouldn't have survived it. With Jake doing a good imitation of the movie "The Towering Inferno" at the end of the film.
