Vendetta is a 1986 women in prison film directed by Bruce Logan and starring Karen Chase and Sandy Martin. It was released in September 1986. Plot Laurie Collins (Chase) is an attractive and highly successful stuntwoman in the motion picture industry. Her job on one film takes her to a small town not far from where her younger sister Bonnie Cusack (Michelle Newkirk) lives. Because of the close proximity, Laurie invites Bonnie to come visit her on the set, as she likely will not have time to visit her on her own.
