STRAIGHT TO VIDEO (10TH ANNIVERSARY) PRESENTS HELL SQUAD (1985)

Ten years ago, we started with a simple idea: to bring the wildest, most forgotten and irresistible cult films of the VHS era back to the big screen. Since then, together with you, we have filled dozens of evenings with rubber monsters, incomprehensible dialogue, absurd plots and films that leave you wondering how they were ever made. We are celebrating that anniversary with a special screening of Hell Squad, one of the titles that started it all.

In this deranged cross between Rambo and Showgirls, the son of an American ambassador is kidnapped by Middle Eastern terrorists. To rescue him, a group of sexy Las Vegas strippers are trained to become ruthless commandos! Or, as the video-store cover so memorably puts it: “These knockouts are on a secret mission to the Middle East, taking them behind enemy lines and between the sheets!”
