AIP cranked out a bunch of these cheaply-shot action flicks in the Phillipines around this time. This is one starts out as a women-in-prison movie and then turns into a fugitives on the run from the law tale. There's the obligatory shower scene of course and plenty of female nudity to go around, lesbian guards and a stupid prison-slop food fight. Pam Grier is the black mama, who's a hooker and Margaret Markov is the white mama who's a revolutionary freedom fighter. They get chained together and make a break for it, catfighting with each other the whole way. Neither one of them is very convincing in their roles but then again nothing is very realistic about this film. You also get Sid Haig in some funky shirts playing this cowboy/criminal type. He has a great scene in his tidy-whities wrestling with some half-naked Filipino chicks. There's also a strange scene where he examines guys dicks and threatens to shoot off the smallest one!? Overall there's enough going on to keep things from getting too boring and make this worth checking out even if it's not the best example of a Pam Grier action flick. AKA WOMEN'S PENITENTIARY 10 (video release title)
