Provoked (1989)


If this wasn't on YouTube, I probably wouldn't have seen it. It's mostly known for its star, who was Americana of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. You get to see her run a lot in mom jeans. There's also porn star Ona Zee in the cast, though there's no nudity. This is a standard rescue-the-hostage film, but all the genders are reversed: it's a guy who's kidnapped by a gang, whose leader is a woman, and he's saved by his wife. It's really low budget and looks like an episode of a very bad TV show. Many of the line readings are funny and would be, even if the dialogue weren't so bad. Even the weapons seem wrong; people have automatic weapons for no reason and one guy has what looks like an antique Thompson machine gun.
