The Muthers

Better than its exploitation trappings by a little. Better than its budget by a long shot. Nice score, good location shooting, not awful acting from the leads. This appears on all fronts to actually be a movie. I've got four more in a Vinegar Syndrome collection and I imagine that'll be the last time I write that.

Deserving of its cult status. It makes no sense as a pirates venture and barely stands on its own as a women-in-prison picture, but when it combines heavy Stockholm syndrome with a pinch of Uncle Tom in a sexist, exploitation universe, this concoction dared to go places I didn't think it was capable of.

This is a women pirate movie that is also a prison slave plantation movie. It's fun, and it's best described as a time capsule of a long gone era that was one of the best for cinema.

Not much in the way of WIP trappings but heavy blaxploitation influences carry the day in this kitchen sink exploitation film with a cavalcade of jungle bunnies invading the Asian isles.
