Critical reception

Critics have called Mad Foxes "the ultimate exploitation movie"[3] and "one of the nuttiest films ever."[4] Australian film critic and editor of Senses of Cinema Alexandra Heller-Nicholas in her book Rape-Revenge Films: A Critical Study (2011) called the film a "brazenly incoherent mélange of kung fu, softcore porn, Nazi fetishism and bike film pegged loosely to a rape-revenge structure, albeit one caught in a garbled narrative loop".[5]

Mad Foxes was featured on an episode Red Letter Media's "Best of the Worst" film review series, where the hosts strongly criticized it for its incoherent plot and copious sexual content, including a scene in which two characters appear to have sex in a urine-filled bathtub.[6]
