Uriah43 When a stripper by the name of "Angel" (Michelle Foreman) is raped and murdered, "Detective Cody Sheenan" (Kay Lenz) goes under cover and auditions at the strip club in the hope that she can find some clues that will help capture the perpetrator. Backing her up is her partner "Detective Heineman" (Greg Evigan) who keeps his eye on her and makes no secret of the fact that he enjoys her topless performances. Anyway, as far as the merits of the movie are concerned this particular one appeared to just meander from one scene to another and lacked cohesion, passion, eroticism and suspense. Along with that there seemed to be too many characters without any development and simply weren't necessary for the movie. Likewise, the ending was totally bizarre and unrealistic. Even so I liked the performance of Kay Lenz and Norman Fell (as the nightclub owner named "Ray") and because of that I have rated the movie a bit higher than it probably deserved. Slightly below average

burbs82 This is one of those Concorde-era Corman-produced flicks that's pretty awesome if you're down with some 80's-era glam-strippers, and if you aren't then I don't wanna know ya'. The plot is a pretty standard slasher plot, but Kay Lenz is awesome and hands in a good performance as a cop going undercover as a stripper (who actually comes to enjoy the job), and actually Greg Evigan is pretty cool as her yuppie cop partner. There's plenty of nudity, senseless murder, some good strip numbers, and Three's Company's Norman Fell co-stars as the club manager who doesn't know one of his strippers is a man. If Helen only knew.This one's a b-classic in the 'Slumber Party Massacre' sense, but the inclusion of Kay Lenz is a huge plus and makes it a must see. This must've been on USA Up All Night at some point. It's followed by 1989's 'Stripped to Kill Part II' and is alluded to in 1990's 'Sorority House Massacre II'. These were the twilight years of Corman productions, and I always enjoyed them the most.

MrBBBBBBBB I like this movie. It was my first movie that I ever appeared in. I am the guy playing guitar on a bench and get robbed , right before the body gets set on fire. We shot all of that ,that night. The fire scene as well,,,very cool to watch that unfold.Shot at or about 8pm in the park downtown L.A. and was a little bit cold. Greg was less than receptive on the set,,UNLIKE KAY who was very nice and sweet. I also struck up a chat with the script supervisor who was an actress (cant remember her name thou) and she was very nice and good looking. This movie is slow at times but still has depth and a Good plot line. Peace B

Woodyanders A stripper gets brutally murdered underneath a bridge. Spunky, sexy, dedicated and flat-out gorgeous lady homicide detective Cody Sheehan (appealingly played by the lovely Kay Lenz) goes undercover (and uncovers herself) as a go-go gal at the smoky, tawdry, neon lit strip joint the dead chick worked at in order to catch the killer. Probable suspects include the club's hard-nosed owner Ray (a slumming, bleary-eyed Norman Fell, who looks and acts like he has yet to fully recover from the cancellation of "Three's Company"), a seedy patron named Pocket (sleazy Peter Scranton), one stripper's neglected, lonely brother, and the leering, obnoxious DJ/light show dude (a perfectly smarmy Brad David Berwick). Greg Evigan contributes a fine performance as Cody's scruffy, disapproving sexist jerk partner Heineman. Directed with tremendously artsy and dynamic style by Katt Shea Ruben (who also co-wrote the solid script), with garish cinematography, an appropriately trashy rock soundtrack, plenty of protracted smoking hot striptease set pieces, a funny turn by the always delightful Diana Bellamy as a brassy police dispatcher, and a thrilling conclusion (the killer's true identity is a genuine surprise), "Stripped to Kill" rates highly as a hugely enjoyable slice of low-budget 80's exploitation junk.
