Wikipedia claims that this is the first movie given an NC-17 for violence instead of sexual content. By the look of things - you can see the rating on the MPAA site - it seems true but after all, sometimes hype is better than the actual real tale, right?
Police detective Vicki Stewart (Traci Lords) is undercover as a prostitute with her lover Al (Scott Patterson) as backup when she finds the crook she's been hunting, Salvador (Angelo Tiffe). As he starts making out with her, he finds her concealed handgun and everything goes wild with cars blowing up, machine guns firing on crowded streets and Lords even flying out of the limo.
Captain Jackson (Yaphet Kotto) takes her off the case after all of the property damage, even if she got $50 million worth of drugs off the streets. As for Salvador, his boss gives him a week to get the white powder back.
If Vicki isn't on the case, she's going to have some fun. She overhears a rape victim being discharged and tells her there's no way that the three men who destroyed her will ever see jail. Instead, she visits them at home and brutalizes them. She also goes to a factory where the boss sexually harasses women and slaps him into oblivion, all things that get her in even more trouble.
Vicki has had what we call "a day" and it gets worse when she catches Al in bed with someone else. She sets his car on fire and then heads back to the police station, the very place where Salvador is coming to get his cocaine.
Directed and written by Charles T. Kanganis, this is the perfect use of Traci Lords in a movie. She's a near-unstoppable force of destruction who is the best cop on the force despite how much destruction happens around her. She's actually a very male-coded hero and yet, you know, looks like Traci Lords.
