Reception
In a retrospective review 2015, Film Blitz scored it a C+ writing "Great exploitation title, and the film wastes absolutely no time [...] However, its true nature then becomes apparent. This is a straightforward Western, into which nudie - okay, toplessie - content has occasionally been spliced." and that "one can only imagine the surprise the actors in the main thread must have felt on seeing the finished product."[1]
Travis Mills of Running Wild Films wrote in 2019 that "The film is on one hand ridiculous and cheap; on the other, it's far better than I could ever imagine it to be." and "What makes this part-nudie Western worth watching is its simple plot and execution." He concluded that "I would honestly take another one like this over the bloated flashy big-budget Westerns of today".[2]
A review on The Movie Scene was less favorable, stating about the subplot of the tribe that "I honestly can't come up with a single word of praise when it comes to this side of the movie". It further said that "What this all boils down to is that Revenge of the Virgins is as poor as it sounds and in all honesty I wonder if the movie was just away of getting some attractive women to do a topless tribal dance as that seems to be the longest unedited scene in the entire movie."[3]
