Release

Lor of '' Variety'' stated that by 1983 the theatrical market for films like ''Angel of H.E.A.T.'' had changed so much that the film was unreleased and shown as "cable-tv filler" and as a home video title. The film was first released in 1983, and on DVD on January 13, 2004 by Monterey Video.

Reception

Lor gave the film a negative review, noting poorly executed martial arts sequences, and that the film "wanders for the first few reels, with lots of dumb puns, bare breasts and failed gags". In his book reviewing horror and science fiction films, Donald Willis declared the film to be "failed semi-camp" and that it was "iffy even as a showcase for Marilyn Chambers" noting that the filmmakers seemed to believe that the narrative would be of more interest than Chambers' role which, he considered a "bad miscalculation".
