The Intrepidos Punks are back! Hell bent on revenge.
After breaking their punk gang members out of jail, a plan to devastate the family of the cop that put them there is violently put into action. A massacre at a birthday party turns a grieving cop into a merciless (Death Wish style) vigilante, hunting down the murderous punks one-by-one. But there is more trouble with mumblings of a mutiny amongst the disillusioned gang. It’s not going to end well!
This follow-up to Intrepidos Punks (1988) ramps up the insanity and shock value, making the punks Satanic drug-dealing sex and violence maniacs (“Long live death, cocaine, marijuana and alcohol” chants Tarzan, the gang boss). The violence is brutal. Thankfully the outrageous costumes and crazy colour hair-dos remain, making this a visual joy. Fast paced and action packed, all created on a fish-and-chip supper budget, La Venganza de los Punks is a worthy and tasteless follow up to Intrepidos Punks, right up to the groan inducing twist ending.
The feature will be supported by a programme of crazy Mexican film trailers.
Free entry.
