Just finished watching this for the first time. A sleazy early 1980s exploitation revenge flick directed by Abel Ferrara. Zoë Tamerlis stars as Thana, a young mute woman. One day, she gets sexually assaulted in an alley. Instead of going to the police, she goes straight home...where she is sexually assaulted by a burglar. She kills the burglar with an iron, dismembers his body in her bath tub, & keeps his .45. This drives her totally insane & she basically kills every man who bothers her, comes on to her, or....any random guy she can kill. I thought it was a very good movie. Although playing a mute character, I thought Zoë Tamerlis was pretty good as Thana. That & she was drop dead beautiful. There wasn't any over the top gore or anything but it was still a violent piece of cinema. Thana racked up a good bodycount though. The soundtrack was pretty scummy & full of sax. Every time she pulled the .45 out of her purse, it sounded like snake charmer music or something. The pimp in this movie was incredibly stereotyped & hilarious. The landlady/neighbor with the dog was extremely annoying. The Halloween party massacre scene was pretty odd & a bit of a mind fuck. Still a cool scene though, especially seeing Thana dressed as a sexy nun. A pretty good movie so if you like revenge movies or are a feminist( ), you'll enjoy this. I am the former. It's really hard to find to own & is rather expensive. If you find it for a cheap price, snag it up! If not, you can find it around for download on the internet.

It's a really rare movie. I wish Bill Lustig & Blue Underground would somehow get the rights to it so they could put out a sweet release. They'd give us all a top notch release.

could this be a remake? Judging by the cover, I wouldn't doubt it. However, this description proves me wrong: In a dangerous neighborhood in New York City, Kat and her brutal smalltime criminal boyfriend Big Al sell pistols and revolvers on the streets and deal stolen goods. Kat is addicted in having sex with Al and dreams on moving to the beach and start a new life. When the jealous and abusive Al beats her, the social assistant Liz, Kat's bisexual friend Vic and her acquaintance Reilly that has a crush on her advise Kat to leave Al. However, Al threatens to destroy her face if she dares to leave him. The smart Kat uses her power of beautiful and sexy woman to manipulate her friends and get rid off Al.EDIT: The movie is titled .45, but strangely enough on the cover Milla's holding a Beretta 9mm.

Yeah, i found that same Synopsis.
Theres a film out Called the Brave One with Jodie Foster which has that same sort of Revenge, with a gun, plot.
Again i dont think they are related.
Ive just downloaded the DVD cover for Ms.45 and the film, im going to make myself a bootleg version due to the price of the original ;D

That's what I did. Well, I downloaded the movie. I don't have a DVD burner yet but the movie itself is saved on my computer. Normally, I don't download movies unless they're ridiculously hard to find. That's the case with Ms. 45.

Just watched this, i really enjoyed it actually, Thana went a bit over the top on the old killing, The guys who raped her deserved everything they got but after she was raped she didn't trust any bloke atall. As you said Kimble, theres not loads of gore but the way it was filmed and acted it didn't really need it. I thought the acting was pretty decent. The street punks made me laugh, one of them had a pair of nunchucks . It would of been good to see a scene with her going to buy bullets for her 45, I'm not to sure where she got her ammo from. Also when she minced part of that guy and gave it to the landlady's dog for dinner was pretty amusing. Overall i thought it was a very entertaining movie. Thanks for the recommendation Kimble.
