Watch Hit Lady For Free

Very well executed

Load of rubbish!!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Yvette Mimieux is a very unlikely lady to play the lead in "Hit Lady". After all, she's rather petite, cute and looks very innocent and anything but dangerous. However, she's a cold-blooded contract killer...and a very good one at that! Plus, Mimieux wrote the script with herself in mind!!The story begins with Angela (Mimieux) going to a barbecue and singling out an old man (Keenan Wynn) and talking with him at length. He invites her to go on a horseback ride...and she kills him when there are no witnesses about them. Next, she receives a call from her contact...he has one more contract. But she initially refuses, she's just retired. But the amount she is to be paid is astronomical...and this would really help her with her new life with her struggling boyfriend (Dack Rambo). So she has a condition...she wants to know more about the guy before he accepts. The mark is a union leader, Jeffrey Blaine (Joseph Campanella) and they really want him dead very badly! So yo see Angela as she goes to work and arranges to 'accidentally' meet Jeffrey at a concert. And, over time, she really comes to like this guy...so what's she to do?!The film is enjoyable and worth seeing. Mimieux created a nice script. My only reservation was the ending...I did see that coming and many others will as well.

Yvette Mimieux looks gorgeous and gives a fine, understated performance as a contract killer who methodically seduces her targets, waits until they have let their guard down, and then strikes - lethally. But problems arise when she decides that she wants to quit the business. What I particularly liked about Yvette's performance here is that she presents the character and lets the viewer decide how he or she should feel about her. She doesn't force-feed you the answers, and neither does the movie. It proceeds economically from scene to scene, telling a seemingly simple story, but the unexpected twist at the end of it has real impact. Be warned: it's not an action movie (though there is one car chase), it's more of a character drama. (**1/2)

Very entertaining film from the '70s, produced by Aaron Spelling and written by Yvette Mimieux, who stars in it, looks gorgeous (it is, after all, Aaron Spelling), and surrounds herself with men, particularly Dack Rambo.Mimieux plays a woman in a man's job - she's a hit woman. Though very successful knocking people off, she gets tired of it and, in love with Rambo, wants to retire from the business and live with him in Mexico. Her costars, besides Rambo, are Clu Gulager, Joseph Campanella, Keenan Wynn - basically all men.There's one very fun scene at the airport when Mimieux, attempting to disguise herself, offers a woman (Mitzi Hoag) outrageous money for her coat. I'd have handed it over too.Obviously a very brainy woman in real life, Mimieux does this cold, impersonal kind of role very well, and she's a real knockout in this (as usual). The film contains a very neat twist as well. Highly recommended.

Yvette got out her yellow legal pad and #2 pencil and scripted herself a juicy part in this Aaron Spelling-produced TV flick. She plays an attractive blonde, shanghai-ed into killing people for money. She wrote herself into virtually every scene and put herself into an area usually reserved for men....especially at this time of 1974. This film pre-dates "Charlie's Angels", but has a similar sort of angle. Mimieux goes "undercover" in designer duds and works over her targets with charm and sex appeal (she even struts around at length in a skimpy bikini...revealing a very fit figure.) The film is simple and trite at times, but still modestly entertaining. Joseph Campenella is given the (thankfully!) rare chance to engage in a sex scene, Keenan Wynn has just a cameo and Clu Gulager is sporting a few too many shades in his hair color....strange. The best part is hot-to-trot Dack Rambo in his PRIME. He slinks in in jeans that look like they couldn't contain one more skin cell, gets caressed from behind while his jeans are half open (revealing dischordantly cute and chaste little white briefs) and just basically looks edible in a role that would normally have been "the girlfriend part". His yummy face and thick, beautiful hair threaten to steal the film from Ms. Mimieux, but since she wrote it, he isn't around all that long.
