I picked up a copy of the Valentine: The Dark Avenger DVD a few weeks ago at the local Dollar Tree but I didn't watch it until Memorial Day. Estelle Linden stars as Srimaya, a waitress, who is hired by director Bono (Matthew Settle) to star in his new movie as the superheroine known as Valentine. Unfortunately, she gets caught up fighting the terrorist known as Shadow, who looks like he should be in a G.I. Joe movie. This is an Indonesian movie that was originally released as Valentine in 2016 and is based on the character from Skylar Comics. The movie was released with a new name in the United States in 2017. It's a low budget movie but the fight scenes and story is better than expected.
My favorite moment in Valentine: The Dark Avenger is when she fights a trio of supervillainesses, who works for Shadow. One of them sports a yellow wig, a black tutu and a top with a very familiar bat symbol.
