Review of Vice Squad

Just saw it on basic cable network IFC. They ran it without interruption which is so rare these days on any cable station you don't pay extra for. I never saw it in the eighties but I can't believe that none of these actors never became HUGE stars! Wings Hauser's portrayal of a no-nonsense pimp is the second greatest villain performance I have ever seen, right behind the deranged killer in Dirty Harry. I agree with the positive comments by the others folks reviewing this virtually unknown B-Movie. Some of the police work being inept seemed exactly like real undercover cops. An attractive woman has to be nuts to become an undercover vice-cop! I was on the edge of my seat! I've visited these streets and can't help believing that the mid-town L.A.~Hollywood streets are really like this at night
