Unbelievably stupid exploitation crap

This film has earned its cult reputation due to the fact that it's ridiculous - and as you might expect, this reputation isn't exactly unfounded. Mad Foxes is just as ridiculous as it's meant to be and then some...however, while I enjoy a good silly flick, the inconstancies and illogical nature of the film don't help it as the plot doesn't move well at all, and the film gets confusing too often, which isn't good when the plot is as simple as the one here. The plot is pretty much routine for a rape/revenge flick, and focuses on a guy and his girl who end up getting on the wrong side of a neo-Nazi biker gang. The gang beat him up and rape his girl, so he vows revenge on them...blah blah. The way that the plot moves isn't very fluent, and usually just jumps from one scene to the next; which can be irritating. There are a few good sequences in the film, and these include things such as a man being blown up on the toilet and a Nazi-style bondage session towards the end. In fitting with the rest of the film, the acting and the dialogue are both terrible; but the film is very funny on numerous occasions, and while I can't say I overly enjoyed Mad Foxes; it might appeal to those who enjoy seeing movies at their worst.

Vile Exploitation Oddity Offers Subversive Social Commentary

One of the most vile exploitation movies ever made, MAD FOXES is often unduly compared to LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT in its mixture of gory violence and subversive social commentary.The film details a violent rivalry between Hal Martin, a yuppie playboy who drives a fancy Stingray sports car, and a band of sociopath bikers. At a stop light, Hal kisses his 18-year-old date Babsy as the bikers roll up. Their homosexual leader taunts Hal and spits on him. When the light turns green, Hal forces one of the bikers into a fatal accident.In an extended party scene, Hal gets Babsy drunk at a club, as a prelude to deflowering her. His plans are interrupted by the bikers, who are waiting for them outside the club. They beat him up and Babsy is brutally raped by Stiletto, the hulking psychopath of the group.Hal's desire for revenge is answered by a friend who runs a kickboxing school. As the bikers get drunk at a makeshift funeral for their fallen compatriot, a dozen or so angry kick boxers show up. After they beat up the bikers and castrate the leader.The bikers retaliate, visiting the kickboxing school with machine guns and killing everyone in sight. They storm Hal's apartment building and shoot a parking lot guard. A neighborhood boy warns Hal, who quickly flees the city.At this point, the film digresses with an overlong sequence of two nude lovers gamboling on an ocean beach. They get dressed and start hitchhiking when along comes Hal in his Stingray. The woman, Lily, gets in the car with Hal and leaves her man stranded on the side of the road.She and Hal end up at his wealthy parents' country estate. Dad is a wealthy patriarch type and Mom is stuck in a wheelchair. As Hal and Lily exercise their sexual rites in the forest and in a bathtub filled with dirty water, the bikers show up and massacre the rest of the family and servants. This pushes Hal over the edge and, armed with guns and grenades, he finishes off the bikers. The movie's nihilistic coda finds the surviving castrated biker leader holding Hal and Lily at bay with a bomb.MAD FOXES is constructed as a fable, in which logic is subverted in order to make a statement. If its makers offer any message at all, it's an hysterical overreaction to upper caste fears of street punks and gun-toting anarchists. The coiffed, macho Hal is not portrayed as an action hero, and his methods and motivations are only a little less vicious than the bikers. But he is rich, drives a nice car and can easily seduce vapid women, whereas the bikers are greasy-haired, un-socialized rejects who are given a vaguely gay cast.In published interviews the film's producer, Swiss sleaze-master Erwin C. Dietrich, has played down his involvement with the film and claims it was too excessive even for him. That says a lot.
