Been looking for a long long time to find this movie. Amazon made it possible. Thank you so much.
One of my favorites June 12, 2009
Chandra Vinning (Los Angeles)
I loved this show back when it came out. Mitzi Kapture and Rob Estes work well together. They kept me coming back for more. It is a chip off the old block of Miami Vice, but a little sexier.

Angel was made in and put out in 1984. Angel" Starring Donna Wilkes- "Father Murphy"-"Days of Our Lives". Angel is a Film set today 25 years later is still a smash hit in many homes. Only if they knew! Donna in her 20's Playes a young girl Molly. Molly was left by her parents at a young age. Being Mollet is only 15 has to provide for her self to only sit and wait for dreams to never come true. In fact Molly's world is about to crash in this hit. Molly is a great honor studet by day. Hollywood Hooker by night. As the story sets off Angels friends are being killed one by one. A sick minded killer is on the run. As the girls need there money to support them selves, The more they find them one less firend. Angel"Wilkes" plays an unforgetable roll in this film. Convincing not only the Killer but herself Enough is Enough! Molly is soon to be turned out by a group of studs at her school. As when you think it couldnt get any worse for Molly & Angels world's are now about to collide. Leaving no room to feel sorry for herself with a killer on the run. Molly turns to help her male cop firend Andrews'Cliff Gorman'. Now it is her chance! Her life! Her will! Will she be the next vitim for the killer"John Diehl" or will the tables turn and Angel make his last trick not be a treat? I give this film a 10 why cause 25 years later it still somehow sticks with us at home. The audience can relate to the film'd making as it happends in our very own world. Donna Wilkes to play Molly-Angel went on to a private life. However the film set sail for some sequels! However I am not to judge but Angel 2-4 is more of a comedy then Angel 1 With Wilkes. Not to mention the acting then played in Angel 1 By Wilkes and Co-Stars such as:Dick Shawn- Susan Tyrrell-Rory Calhoun & Donna McDaniel is very believeable in part 1. If you have seen the movie you know what I am talking about. If not? & your looking for a reality non stop pumping action, along filled with Donna's Grace and beauty alone will have you stuck to the set. As moving on. far as the remaining sequels? Well if your looking for an early age Betsy Russell"Saw (who is amazing as Jill)" in tights and a plastic gun then I would say grab the set! As Avenging Angel (Angel 2) is funny-good with a 5 stars from me. As for the set? Don't get disapointed as you go to put 3 in and see Mitzi Capture" Silk Stalkings" just not to silky as our next Molly-Angel. With a 3 Stars I say leave the 3 in the box. Last but least Angel had so much to offer as if it were taking in the right steeps. However they were walking with 2 left feet in this case. Angel 4: Undercover- My stars i give it a 1 why? Cause I feel sorry for Donna being degraded by 3 more Mollys-Angel's to be palyed all by differnt woman with horrible rolls. Less be known Molly now is blonde and is played by Darlene Vogel "Farscape" Leaves us with an Angel that never ment to be in the series but ended up in there! Leaving us with a blonde a gun shot boom poof its over. So if you havent seen it DONT pay 50 bucks for the vhs as it is not on dvd or in The Angel Collection. I would say if your in need to have to watch part 4. Wait till you see it on Ebay for buy it now for a few bucks But with free shipping. However we all have our own taste and my taste is in for Donna Wilkes. Great acting 25 years later its a must see from vhs to dvd to boxed sets to posters still to this day. There is just something about the Angel we all fell in love with. Thank you Angel Anes!

I enjoyed this trilogy. In the first part 'Angel', a teen-aged girl abandoned by her parents leads a double life, by night she is a hooker and by day she is an honor roll student. She is hiding the fact that her mother doesnt live with her but she manages to support herself, including paying her own private school tuition and tells the neighbors that her mother is ill and handles the household bills. It all hits the fan when a serial killer begins killing off her hooker friends and she gets targeted too. Her landlord gets killed, she be-friends a detective and he takes her under his wing after they catch the killer of course.
In the second film, 'Avenging Angel' Now Angel is in college...to be a lawyer. An undercover cop posing as a hooker gets killed and the detective that took Angel in gets murdered, she goes back to the streets to find the killer.
In 'Angel III' it gets a bit cheesy, Angel finds her Mom and the sister she never knew she had. Mom gets murdered and she has to rescue her sister from a life of prostitution, in this one Im a bit confused because Angel is a photographer, not a lawyer. It was okay but not as good as the first two.
Hope you enjoy!!
Hooked on ANGEL April 29, 2008

In 1984, I fell in love with a cheesy drive-in movie named Angel. It starred soap star Donna Wilkes, Dick Shawn, Rory Calhoun, Susan Tyrrell and Cliff Gorman (in one of the best roles of his career). This girl was a high school student during the day, a hooker at night. The reason she started hooking was her mom just left her and she need to get money somehow..WOW a great reason to be a lady of the evening! It had T & A, but kept the sleezibess in a small amount. Molly (Angel tried to solve the murder of her friend, another hooker. It was well done for a small grindhouse film.
A year later 1985, (that five years in movie time for you), A sequal came out. I wanted to stop and say NO, but I went anyway! I was not disaapointed. Betsy (Tomboy) Russell took on the role of Angel. In this film, Molly is graduating college and out of hooking. Her police guardian Detective Andrews, who is now played by Robert Lyons, is shot death. Molly realizes the best way to get information is to be Angel. Flanked by Kit (Rory Calhoun) and Solly (Susan Tyrrell), they flesh out who killed Andrews. With Ossie Davis in this cast, it brought a bit of class to this small film. At the end of this film ,you thought this film series was over when Molly spouted the film line "You know I never had a family Before."
A year later, 1986, Angel III: The Final Chapter. Angel is played by Mitzi Capture, who later did the show Silk Stalkings. Angel finds her birth mother and knows she has a sister. Her sister is involved with a slavery ring headed by Maud Adams, who also appeared in James Bond: the Man with Golden Gun. The piot thickens as Angel's Mom dies and tries to find her sister. Richard (Shaft) Roundtree plays the detective she befriends and helps her.
These Angels would never win best in show, but surpasses most of the GRINDHOUSE/Drive-in Cinema stuff. If anything, it is good for a night's entertainment. It does not like look cheap and the supporting casts are good
