Release

'"Lor." of Variety stated that by 1983 the theatrical market for films like Angel of H.E.A.T. had changed so much that the film was unreleased and shown as "cable-tv filler" and as a home video title.[1] The film was first released in 1983.[1][4] Angel of H.E.A.T. was released on DVD on January 13, 2004 by Montery Video.[2]

Reception

'"Lor." of Variety gave the film a negative review, noting poorly executed martial arts sequences,and that the film "wanders for the first few reels, with lots of dumb puns, bare breasts and failed gags"[3] In his book over viewing horror and science fiction films, Donald Willis declared the film to be "failed semi-camp" and that it was "iffy even as a showcase for Marilyn Chambers" noting that the filmmakers seemed to be believe that the films narrative would be more of an interested than Chambers' which Willis declared as a "bad miscalculation"[4]
