Virgins From Hell Predicts Our Future

Directed by Ackyl Anwari. Cinematographer N/A. Seriously, I can't find out who the guy holding the camera was for this one.
This tells you a lot about what you are in store for:
Ackyl Anwari, Action, Enny Beatrice, Exploitation, Indonesia, Take it or Leave it, Virgins From Hell,
As a fan of 70's kung fu films I appreciate a funky looking title screen.
This early shot below is the best shot I've found in 'Virgins From Hell'. The camera floats above the scene, possibly using one of those giant camera lifts. From what I could tell this was the only time they used the lift. But it was well worth it!

It's possible this shot was supposed to be the main gang leader's point of view. Why not?
Director Ackyl proves Indonesia is well ahead of it's time as we watch this woman make it rain! Folks this is 1987, so you have to understand back then "Making it Rain" was a term for the frequent nose bleeds coked up stock brokers experienced. So Ackyl is almost prophetic here, able to pierce the mist of his own era. What else can this davwelian man predict? (Davwelian is a word I've made up which means "Someone who accidentally predicts the future)

Flying dirt bikes! Dear god! 'I want to fly like an eagle" something something "sun." Sure our flying will be relegated to a high school production of Peter Pan thanks to the two strings on the front and back of the bike as illustrated below.

But it looks cool and that's what matters.
Below Ackyl predicts Tarantino's entire career.

I'm telling you, this man saw into the future and brought back what was necessary.

I'm pretty sure they tortured the woman above with a red marker. And if the ink is permanent, it's a real pain to get off.

I love how Ackyl kept the horses ass in frame. Very post-modern.
'Virgins from Hell' is a take it or leave it. If you're in the mood for cheesy exploitation you could do worse. But you could also do much better.
