"A Maniac is Killing Strippers. Detective Sheehan Has One Weapon to Stop Him. Her Body."
This is a low-budget exploitation crime drama about a police detective working on a murder case who goes undercover as a stripper at the Rock Bottom dance club in Los Angeles, which is full of topless dancers with '80s big hair. One of the exotic dancers working in the club uses a Burmese python in her act, which we see in a long scene that is bathed in red stage light. She dances around with the python then drapes it over a tree. Then she pops her top, dances with fire, and finally pretends to stab herself to death in the heart with a large knife. Very classy. The tree is a prop she uses for holding the snake, which I was surprised to see on stage next to the stripper pole, but maybe that's only because I haven't been to enough strip clubs with exotic snake dancers. We also see her sitting backstage holding a python.
