9/10
So this is what Mr. Roper did before he retired...

Warning: Spoilers
This is one of those Concorde-era Corman-produced flicks that's pretty awesome if you're down with some 80's-era glam-strippers, and if you aren't then I don't wanna know ya'. The plot is a pretty standard slasher plot, but Kay Lenz is awesome and hands in a good performance as a cop going undercover as a stripper (who actually comes to enjoy the job), and actually Greg Evigan is pretty cool as her yuppie cop partner. There's plenty of nudity, senseless murder, some good strip numbers, and Three's Company's Norman Fell co-stars as the club manager who doesn't know one of his strippers is a man. If Helen only knew.

This one's a b-classic in the 'Slumber Party Massacre' sense, but the inclusion of Kay Lenz is a huge plus and makes it a must see. This must've been on USA Up All Night at some point. It's followed by 1989's 'Stripped to Kill Part II' and is alluded to in 1990's 'Sorority House Massacre II'. These were the twilight years of Corman productions, and I always enjoyed them the most.
