TUBI CONTINUED… MAD FOXES (1981) ****

Hal (Jose Gras) is a smug, sportscar-driving asshole who takes his (much) younger girlfriend out on the town to celebrate her eighteenth birthday.  When an altercation at a traffic light with some Nazi bikers turns deadly, they retaliate by beating up Hal and raping his girlfriend.  Hal then calls his Kung Fu buddy who owns a karate school and asks him for a favor:  Kick some Nazi biker ass!  Well, wouldn’t you know it?  The Nazi bikers retaliate (again) and toss a grenade into the dojo in the middle of a karate class!  From there, Hal and the bikers keep ping-ponging back and forth, meting out vengeance until just about everybody near and dear to him ends up dead.  

Mad Foxes is frickin’ awesome.  It’s got everything you could possibly want in a movie.  Sex, violence, fast cars, motorcycle gangs, Kung Fu, Nazis getting punched in the face, explosions, T & A…  You name it, Mad Foxes has it.  In between, there are plenty of jaw-dropping moments, head-scratching plot developments, and brain-melting scenes of violence.

Now, not a whole lot of this makes logical sense, but that’s a good thing since you never know where this crazy flick will go next.  I’ll admit, some of it is a little hard to stomach, and yet, you can’t deny a movie that just delivers awesome sequence after awesome sequence.  There’s a hilarious nightclub scene where the dancing runs the gamut from disco to ballroom.  The part where the members of the karate school interrupt the Nazi biker funeral and have an all-out brawl over the biker’s flaming corpse is just incredible.  The ending is fucking unbelievable too.  

Okay, so this is the part of the review where I state that the version on Tubi has been cut.  It is a good ten minutes shorter than the running time listed on IMDb, and that site’s Parents Guide also suggests that there is a lot more sex and gore not present in this version.  I’m not even sure how that’s possible as it’s already brimming with disgustingness.  I guess I’ll have to track down the uncut version at some point.  Even in a truncated form, Mad Foxes still kicks all kinds of ass.

AKA:  Stingray 2.
