5/10
See it for Rosanna Yanni

Warning: Spoilers
Sometimes I feel like I'm repeating myself when it comes to commenting on Jess Franco films, but it's not my fault that the majority of his movies that I've seen suffer from the same two problems: static pacing and barely coherent plotting. Both of these also plague "Two Undercover Angels", though at least there's no crazy ZOOMing in this one. Another problem - for which Franco can't be blamed - is that the English dubbing often sounds as if the dubbers were making up the dialogue on the spot instead of reading a translated script! Despite all that, the film is colorful and fun to watch as a precursor to "Charlie's Angels" (with an added layer of Franco perversion, of course), and both Rosanna Yanni and Janine Reynaud are knockouts. My favorite of the two is Yanni: awesome hair, perfect face, and a very feminine but also very strong and fit body; seeing her working out is almost worth the price of admission alone. ** out of 4.

P.S. I must say that my appreciation of Franco went up after watching his DVD interview. He is honest, down-to-earth, and has a sense of humor; he admits that he hates the misleading title "Sadisterotica"!
