In Panther Squad, Sybil Danning plays a leader of female commandos who must stop a group of terrorists who kidnap a pilot of the latest space flight. The terrorists are doing so because they work for a anti-pollution group, that wants to sabotage the flight.
Panther Squad is another mindless cheap action movie from the 80's. What makes it stand apart from other such fare is how bizarre the plot and the tone of the movie is. From the Terrorists group, that is named Clean Space!, to the poorly done action to the out of control bad editing.And before i forget Sybil Danning with a laser gun!
Cast wise, the 2 stand outs are the star Sybil Danning and Jack Taylor. Sybil is at her dumb sexy best here. She isn't the best leading lady,but i have a soft spot for her as the z grade actress she is. Her leather outfit just has to be seen. Jack plays her boss, in Charlie or M from 007 mode. Thur out he looks super drunk, which i think adds character.
It has to be said that,all in all Panther squad other then its really odd plot and bad acting, is truly bad. It isn't unwatchable bad,just mind numbing bad.Most of this is by way of overed used filler. And by 40 mins in,it gets a little unbearble.
My vhs copy is by Lighting Video,picture is grat for this old of a vhs. Great box art and classic sleaze.
Panther Squad was a odd trip of a flick, but sadly skipable. C.L.E.A.N S.P.A.C.E and sybil with a laser gun saved it in the end.
