VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Uriah43 When a stripper by the name of "Angel" (Michelle Foreman) is raped and murdered, "Detective Cody Sheenan" (Kay Lenz) goes under cover and auditions at the strip club in the hope that she can find some clues that will help capture the perpetrator. Backing her up is her partner "Detective Heineman" (Greg Evigan) who keeps his eye on her and makes no secret of the fact that he enjoys her topless performances. Anyway, as far as the merits of the movie are concerned this particular one appeared to just meander from one scene to another and lacked cohesion, passion, eroticism and suspense. Along with that there seemed to be too many characters without any development and simply weren't necessary for the movie. Likewise, the ending was totally bizarre and unrealistic. Even so I liked the performance of Kay Lenz and Norman Fell (as the nightclub owner named "Ray") and because of that I have rated the movie a bit higher than it probably deserved. Slightly below average

Woodyanders A stripper gets brutally murdered underneath a bridge. Spunky, sexy, dedicated and flat-out gorgeous lady homicide detective Cody Sheehan (appealingly played by the lovely Kay Lenz) goes undercover (and uncovers herself) as a go-go gal at the smoky, tawdry, neon lit strip joint the dead chick worked at in order to catch the killer. Probable suspects include the club's hard-nosed owner Ray (a slumming, bleary-eyed Norman Fell, who looks and acts like he has yet to fully recover from the cancellation of "Three's Company"), a seedy patron named Pocket (sleazy Peter Scranton), one stripper's neglected, lonely brother, and the leering, obnoxious DJ/light show dude (a perfectly smarmy Brad David Berwick). Greg Evigan contributes a fine performance as Cody's scruffy, disapproving sexist jerk partner Heineman. Directed with tremendously artsy and dynamic style by Katt Shea Ruben (who also co-wrote the solid script), with garish cinematography, an appropriately trashy rock soundtrack, plenty of protracted smoking hot striptease set pieces, a funny turn by the always delightful Diana Bellamy as a brassy police dispatcher, and a thrilling conclusion (the killer's true identity is a genuine surprise), "Stripped to Kill" rates highly as a hugely enjoyable slice of low-budget 80's exploitation junk.

anxietyresister And what better way to mark the occasion, than to review a film about an undercover policewoman taking her clothes off. Yes sirree, she is moonlighting as a stripper in order to catch a nasty guy who has been murdering all the dancers at a local club. Of course the nudity takes second place to the fascinating plot, which is full of thrills and spills! The attention to detail on actual police procedure is nothing short of exemplary! Why, I even think a spotted a shoot-out at the end! How original! Sorry I can't be more help, I nodded off long before then. I must be working harder than I thought.. I really feel I missed out.Still, don't let that put you off.. this is a great film! If you like gyrating hips, strobe lights and well-oiled thighs.. Why, don't just buy a copy.. steal it! The music too is nothing short of sensational. It's amazing how many times you can say "I want it, baby" and still make it sound fresh! Why wasn't the soundtrack nominated for any Grammys? And the costumes.. Darling, you have outdone yourself! Especially with that yellow and pink polka-dot number.. I can see Ms Naomi Campbell modelling that come London Fashion Week! I won't even go into the Oscar calibre performance of leading lady Kay Lenz! Watch out Meryl, someone's after your crown!So overall, I would have to say this is the best film I have ever seen and.. huh? Who are you people? No, I don't need another jacket! Hang on, where are you taking me? This isn't my car! This is kidnap! HELP! HELP! MURDER! POLICE! *DOORS SLAM SHUT, SIREN FADES INTO THE DISTANCE*.0/10

Paul Andrews Stripped to Kill starts with stripper & lesbian Angel (Michelle Foreman) telling fellow stripper & lesbian Roxanne (Pia Kamakahi) that she needs to tell her Brother that they are an item, Roxanne is hesitant as her Brother Eric is very attached to her. Angel receives a phone call from Roxanne later that night asking her to meet her on a bridge, once there Angel is attacked, raped, has petrol poured over her & set alight. Detectives Sheenan (Kay Lenz) & her partner Heineman (Greg Evigan) are witness to the incident but the killer escapes. When questioned Angel's fellow strippers are reluctant to speak openly to the police so there is no option but for Sheenan to go undercover in Angel's strip club, the Rock Bottom, as a stripper herself. Her partner Heineman is in the audience every night looking at the acts & keeping an eye on Sheenan (it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it). Then another stripper named Cinammon (Carlye Byron) is found brutally murdered, Sheenan & Heineman fear that a serial killer may be on the loose...Co-written & directed by Katt Shea I thought Stripped to Kill was a pretty dull murder mystery. The script by Shea & co-producer Andy Ruben would have been far better as an hour long TV program rather than a 90 minute feature film, the central idea is alright & the actual twist ending when the killer is revealed is quite clever, fairly unexpected & pretty satisfying but there's just too much padding. My overall impression of Stripped to Kill is that there was a 30 minute murder mystery in there at best with the rest of the running time being eaten up with strip club routines which become boring & tedious, I can't believe that I just described women going topless as boring & tedious but that's how I felt after the fifth one. They are overlong, their boring & not very erotic either, in a time when anyone can download all sorts of porn on the internet the acts in Stripped to Kill are really tame. Eventually the constant strip scenes get in the way of the film proper.Director Shea doesn't do anything particularly great but Stripped to Kill has a pretty sleazy atmosphere set in strip clubs & all the main character's are strippers, although few in number the murders are really quite brutal & effective. The films look has dated badly with a late 80's vibe to it, lots of bad music, hairstyles & clothes. There's a slit throat but otherwise there isn't much gore. There are plenty of topless ladies but no one goes full frontal or anything like that.Technically Stripped to Kill is OK, it's competent enough & it's generally well made throughout. The acting was OK, everyone played their parts well enough.Stripped to Kill was an average murder mystery that at it's heart has a decent story with a nice climax but the constant strip club routines became boring as did the really bad music that accompany them, worth watching but nothing particularly special. To add to his seemingly endless list of credits Roger Corman executive produced.
