Viva Rosa Gloria
7 September 2005
Not sure if this one's in print or not. Picked this one up in VHS form at the flea market. Rosa Gloria Chagoyan is teacher in this one who has a relative or loved one (not sure; don't understand Spanish so well) murdered by leather-jacketed 80's drug dealing punks. Anyhow this one really picks up when Rosa becomes a motorcycle riding, machine gun toting vigilante. I noted a little similarity between this movie and the U.S. movie Cyclone with Heather Thomas on a motorcycle of vengeance. Both came out about the same year; not sure if one influenced the other or not. Plenty of action in this one for sure, though Rosa's escaping gunfire out in the open on her motorcycle more than once is not totally believable. Rosa Gloria Changoyan is a striking lady and looks convincing enough on the bike. Odd is her relationship with dwarf sidekick. Living together? Friends? Once again a language problem. Her triumphant smile at the end is great. I see La Guerrera Vengadora II exists. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to come across it.
