This looks right up my street, expect it's right up yours too.

Itching to watch this, but can't find where to buy a physical copy. 10 mins to earn enough money to buy it, 2 hours to figure out digital download BS.

Great find, Ivan! Thanks so much.

You can rent it for $2.99 or download it for $5.99 from Vudu.

Or better yet, you can just watch it for free on Tubi. I'm doing that right now, watching it in dribs and drabs while doing other Internet things. Should be finished with it by the end of tonight though. So far, there's a prominent appearance by several Rob Liefeld comics featuring one of his sexiest female character creations in the first 5 minutes. Yes, it should be up everyone's alley on here.

By the end of the movie, I guess I'll find out exactly who "Comic Trash Productions" is (the producer of the movie), since they seem to have no Internet presence whatsoever. (Update: looks like his name is Britton Stebbins, and he stars in his own film.)
The main actresses who play the protagonist and antagonist (Alexa Rae and Deana Hernandez) also have no other IMDB credits.

Great analog synth / new wavey theme song a la 1980s John Carpenter. The music is by Detroit techno producer Darian Watson.

Definitely how I like it.

The title sequence makes me think of the (now-defunct?) SHIP series "Comic Strips", remember them? Or maybe Heroine Power, who are still around....

[TWO HOURS LATER...]

I guess it's kind of like Black Scorpion meets Kill Bill and Kick Ass? A lot of the footage is fed through a bright red filter and fake crackling film stock. The background music alternates between Watson's dark Carpenter beats, some random Eraserhead-style refrigerator hum, and 70s porn whacka-whacka.

I don't understand quite why Stebbins' cop character is in the movie, because he doesn't figure at all into the climactic parts.
If you're looking for peril, you'll find it in the last ten minutes or so (reminiscent a bit of Lucia and TBFE type scenes).

The film sets itself up for a sequel, so here's hoping they make one. Glad this kind of stuff is coming out of Detroit!

The beginning of the trailer looked like something Nick Zedd would've produced with a bigger budget and a more serious mindset.

I like it though!

Yeah, I think that is one of two movies that I got marked but have not watch yet on Tubi. The other one was called Minty? Not too sure if anyone saw that one, and I vaguely remember it was from the description about a superheroine who gets her powers from chocolate mint.

Looks like Minty is unavailable for streaming either on Tubi or Amazon at the moment, but there's a DVD available on Amazon.
Not sure if a whole new thread needs to be started to discuss Minty? If not, here's the movie's website from the company
that produced it (Ground Down): http://ground-down.com/minty/

And here's one of several movie trailers of Minty from the Youtube channel of the director Eugene Baldovino.
It looks like the only character actually wearing a spandex costume in the movie is an intentionally effeminate Ninja Dude
who is supposed to be a "yaoi" character.

Minty wears multiple outfits in the movie but nothing specifically superhero-esque except maybe a shiny black top at one point.
However somewhere in the movie there is a lesbian sex scene (attention Batgirl1969!(.

Ninja Dude scene (literally filmed in someone's living room):



Overall movie trailer:

You right on it not being on tubi or amazon. Thank you for posting the trailers. I think I only caught the first few minutes of it and kind of knew that it was low budget. It looks like it could have had two lesbian sex scene just by judging from the trailer, but I could be wrong.

Update: Britton Stebbins (director of Red Venom Kills) is awesome! (so far)

He just finished filming a horror comedy called "Dirty Strip Bar Massacre" which is coming out later this year.
And his next project is another sexy superheroine spoof...so look for more SHF-relevant content from him in the near future!

He told me by Facebook message that he was doing another sexy superheroine spoof. According to the Pinterest account
you just linked to, it's called "Dark Widow."

Ha. I saw that on the pinterest, but wondered whether it was an old profile, and a development name for red venom. Well done for going to the source. I suppose there are a lot of film developers here, but having something listed on IMDB makes people seem like "real" celebs.
