Angel of H.E.A.T. is an American science fiction softcore sex comedy film directed and produced by Myrl A. Schreibman and starring Marilyn Chambers. [1] [2]
Angel of H.E.A.T. was filmed in 1981 under the title The Protectors, Book #1. [1] The film was shot in the Lake Tahoe region. [3]
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] and on DVD on January 13, 2004 by Monterey Video. [2]
Lor 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 reviewing 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 believe that the narrative would be of more interest than Chambers' role which, he considered a "bad miscalculation".
