Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I rate my movies based on the enjoyability factor; I don't care if it's low budget, poorly produced, poorly acted, etc. As long as it provides entertainment, I'm happy. That said, this movie is so shockingly pointless and stupid, that it's quickly become one of my favorite movies. It's SOOOO funny! This woman seriously runs across a crowd of drug dealers, stepping on their shoulders and heads; she battles an Asian (who knows Karate, of course) and when she stabs him with her foot-knife (doesn't make sense, you just have to see it), he actually falls and says, "you have disgraced me" or something like that. Hilarious, hilarious, hilarious!

I saw this movie by accident from old vhs tape. I think everybody should watch this movie and they would get new perspective "what is a bad movie" The story makes no sense. There is no charecter development. We dont even know who the hell is our leading female hero. We dont know a sh*t about the. (WARNING: SOME MINOR SPOILERS) We just know that the bad guys are cocaine dealers and believe they have a lot of cocaine. ´Gangs leader is huge skinhead look alike guy who executes people with SM type unicorn device on head, very strange!!! So they want to kill her for trespassing in their turf. But all the crap comes when she starts killing them with the whip, axes, and using other sharp objects ( and booby traps) She is dressed up like amazon woman. She just turns from the victim to killer in a second, thats very strange. She kills chinese guy by throwing spikes in his eyes, so you pretty well know what kind a movie is this. I liked independent film feeling in this but it isnit much. This movie is hilarious and that is the strenght of the movie. Watch it and laugh at it!

I saw this on cable. Someone had to lose their job for greenlighting this one for air. Just because a movie is made does not mean it has to be shown! Savage Instinct should be shown in ALL film classes. It is the perfect template for how to not make a movie. The editing alone is so jumbled you'll think it was assembled by a team of trained (poorly) monkeys, traveling across unpaved canyon road in the back of a jeep, blindfolded and drunk. The audio is often not legible. Acting? I can't call anything I saw here acting. Reciting? Hmmm. Can't call it that either. Failing? That works. All that being said...IT IS HILARIOUS! I cannot stress enough that there is not one redeemable factor in this "film" other than the hilarity derived from it's own incredible ineptness. Fun, in a strictly masochistic sort of way. Watch it...if you dare.

Bad editing, bad production values, bad continuity, implausible, bad dialogue... this movies is bad, bad, bad. However, if you want a movie to poke fun at (a la MST3000), this is your movie. I wouldn't suggest spending much money on it, but if you do see this movie, make sure it's with plenty of witty, like-minded buddies.
