INTREPIDOS PUNKS is about a sexy apocalyptic biker gang led by a ruthless luchador pushing drugs, racing choppers and killing the police who are helpless to stop them. And partying. Featuring the song “Intrepidos Punks” along with an unabashed rip-off of “Sweet Emotion” that improves significantly upon the original.
“I found this VHS in a box of tapes someone left on the sidewalk. I was surprised it was a cool movie.” – Anonymous, the internet
“It’s 99.9% certain that this is the most gleefully assaultive display of a misappropriated cultural movement in history, which is by no means a criticism. […] This film isn’t recommended… it’s MANDATORY.” – Destroy All Movies!!! The Complete Guide to Punks on Film
“It wouldn’t be entirely beyond the pale to say that my entire life has been leading up to the moment I first heard of, then tracked down and watched this overwhelmingly fantastic slice of punk rock exploitation. […] INTREPIDOS PUNKS is a colossal juggernaut, a true giant striding across the landscape of sleazy movies. If you have not seen it, you will notice there’s probably a little hole in your soul. A hole shaped exactly like a busty blonde in a chainmail bikini, sporting gigantic hair and a grenade launcher. Let INTREPIDOS PUNKS plug that hole and finally make you complete.” – Teleport City

Every cinema’s audience gets the film it deserves. Ladies and gentlemen, Spectacle is proud to present to you the sequel to INTREPIDOS PUNKS.
Like the mutant linebacker sibling of its literary-minded forbearer, LA VENGANZA is bigger, louder, and naystee-er than its older brother—and dos veces más intrépido. As we wrote of the first, LA VENGANZA is still about “a sexy apocalyptic biker gang led by a ruthless luchadore pushing drugs, racing choppers and killing the police who are helpless to stop them. And partying.”
Only this time, one police gets fed up, and goes sub-intrepidos to re-christen himself as the reigning angel of death and stamp out the punks with profane savagery. Snake torture, ritual satanic murder, live immolation, eye-gouging, mass-murder, acid disfiguration, and base depravity, LA VENGANZA DE LOS PUNKS is an almost surrealistic atrocity exhibition; it’s like an more vile cousin to Buñuel’s LAND WITHOUT BREAD, only it’s not a joke.
To defeat los punks, one must become los punks. #VERDAD
