There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Anthony Ricks(Rick Rossovich)is a prisoner that is revived following his execution; but of course there is a price to pay for any further freedom. In 2020, a section of Los Angeles is blocked off as a prison and Ricks must go back in and find the source of a deadly virus and stop it. The catch is, he only has 24 hours to complete the task that is monitored by Stacy Keach in a very limited role.The reluctant, albeit determined Ricks gets help from a prostitute, Darla(Sherrie Rose). A villainous criminal named Ironhead(Rick Dean)must be found for he it is his plan to kill everyone with the deadly virus.The best part of this movie is a brief sex scene featuring the total nudity of Rose. Others in the cast: Denis Forest, Ramsay Ross, Lolita Ronalds and Ric Stoneback. Don't go out of your way to visit NEW CRIME CITY.

Compared to the decently-budgeted films this movie rips off (Escape from LA/New York, Mad Max, The Running Man etc.) this one is sub-par. But as far as dumb movies good for a night of rootin'-tootin' yuks go, it's top-of-the-line. Rick Rossovich poorly but acceptably portrays a convicted felon sent to Crime City to sabotage a villain's (Rick Dean) devious plan to kill everyone with a deadly virus. Oh yeah, it's also reminiscent of The Rock. Along the way he meets Sherry Rose and has sex with her in a brief but high-quality nude scene on her behalf. There are plenty of laughs (both intentional and unintentional) and interesting plot twists, a cool if pointless shot of an exploding statue of Mary, and more Mexican extras than you can shake a stick at! Hell you couldn't swing a dead cat by the tail in this film without hitting a Mexican extra. Summary: If you like bad movies, or good B-Movies, check this one out. And if you like it, you'll like Angel of Destruction even more. 2 Thumbs Up.
