Avenging Angelo is a 2002 American action comedy film starring Sylvester Stallone, Madeleine Stowe, and Anthony Quinn. The film follows bodyguard Frankie Delano (Stallone) who vows to protect Jennifer Allieghieri Barrett (Stowe) after her father, mafia kingpin Angelo Allieghieri (Quinn) is gunned down. The film was the second straight-to-video U.S release for Stallone after D-Tox (2002). Quinn was suffering from terminal throat cancer while Avenging Angelo was being filmed—and died before it was released. The film received mostly negative reviews from critics.
