To see the scenes removed from the MST3K version...


Here are the several scenes removed for timing reasons from the MST3K version. They're sourced from a VHS copy of the original "Angels Brigade" cut (which tells the story in a linear fashion, rather than in flashback like "Angels Revenge.") A couple of the scenes are quite important to the, well, "plot" of the film.

MST3K completely undermined the credibility of the movie by deleting these scenes. This is the worst botch job I've seen since 'Time of the Apes' which is actually lucid, gripping science fiction in it's unedited form.

I saw the deleted scenes from Angels Revenge(1979) on You Tube. Angels Revenge is bad, but it's not the worst film ever crafted.

-Neville Brand plays a police officer's superior.
-There's a music video montage of the Angels building their van and their costumes.
-The Angels bring the hard drugs from the beach to Brand's character.
-The Angels are ambushed in the mountains. The brunette schoolteacher gets the upper hand.

I have to agree. I'm watching the MST3k version right now and after learning this I'm thinking about turning it off.

Nah...

MST3K didn't re-edit it or even botch it. The filmmakers did. Evidently there are two versions - the full film, Angels' Brigade, and the tv-film, Angels' Revenge. MST3K riffed the tv film.

Even if they had edited it, I can't imagine they cut anything that made this film good or compelling. The acting is awful and the story is weak.

The complete 97 minute version of this film is available on DVD from Scorpion Releasing.
