Call "Savage Streets" what it is: trash. However, it is amusing, lowest-of-all-levels trash, and I enjoyed Linda Blair's upfront, colorful performance as the vengeful big sister of a rape victim. The dialogue is hilariously vulgar and self-conscious, and the girls' locker room sequence (filled with naked babes, as if this were a women-in-prison flick) provides just about the final word in exploitative catfights. The tone wavers continually from outrageous juvenalia to psychotic melodrama, and the extreme violence (as well as the rape scene) is tough to stomach. However, the film's goal is to be cartoonish junk, and that is surely realized. ** from ****
