An instant low budget classic! It’s fast paced with unintentionally funny dialog. We are also treated with great violent action sequences and full frontal nudity. It has all the necessary exploitable elements you can ask for. I wanted a little more blood/gore in particular scenes when it counted but we can't have our cake and eat it too. Most of the actors gave memorable performances and this is the highlight of Linda Blair’s adult acting career. Blair’s screen presence of a troubled youth living in a bleak world is translated to perfection. This movie stands the test of time because it's gritty, raw energy is unmatched with a pulsating rock soundtrack. Surprisingly, a lot of the high school/street politics that are examined is very realistic. For example, the jealous cheerleader snob that’s asking for trouble and then cries like a baby to garner favoritism from higher authority. The importance of loyalty within friends/gang members even when it comes to doing the extreme is also touched upon. It is a cut above many vigilante/revenge flicks that made the mistake trying to appeal to both Hollywood and exploitation audiences and end up becoming lackluster material. "Savage Streets" is what "Class of 1984" wanted to be. Grindhouse fans with real taste should not overlook this gem.Read full review
