Vice Squad · 1982 Film · VHS · 1984 Grey Gate Embassy Home Entertainment · Season Hubley

A grimy, neon‑soaked L.A. exploitation thriller that unfolds over a single violent night as a street‑smart sex worker teams up with the police to take down a sadistic pimp tearing through Hollywood Boulevard. The film is pure early‑80s urban grit—sweaty, frantic, and shot with a documentary‑like immediacy that makes the city feel alive, dangerous, and claustrophobic.
