I saw this on Canadian Pay TV back in the mid 1980s and was surprised by the heavy quotient of violence, given how it was sometimes shown early in the morning. The story is about a prostitute and some of her pals who decide to rebel against their pimp who naturally doesn't take it too well and this leads to an underworld war. In addition to some heavy violence, there is some pretty strong nudity and sex in the film and not so much the erotic type but the cheap, sleazy, peephole type. The film does indeed have a gritty, anything goes, street-quality to it but none of the actors show much talent and there isn't really anyone to root for. The film almost qualifies for an X-rating and seems like it was designed mainly for the porno house crowd, though even they may be turned off by the bad taste this film leaves behind.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
