A Perfect Example of Prison Girls Exploitation
"A classic example of exploitation, this 70s film basically defines the women in prison genre. Featuring standout performances from exploitation stars Jayne Kennedy and Jeannie Bell, this fun story brings in all the best parts of the genre. The transfer, although on DVD, looks great and is fairly comparable to the blu-ray release of the film that appeared on the 5 Films, 5 Years Volume 2 release by Vinegar Syndrome."
Great!!
"Great flick!!"
Early VS
"The transfer is about what you'd expect from an early VS DVD. Still a fun flick nevertheless, but could use a blu ray upgrade."
70s Fun
"70s flick with tough women with guns. This is in the vein of Doll Squad, Terminal Island etc. Plus Jayne Kennedy is always great to see."
Whatever floats your boat
"Not to familiar with WIP movies so I am not the one to give a in depth review. I liked the woman pirate part and the boat that said "Muthers" but that was just a side story really. The movie was silly enough to keep my interest and watch the whole thing."
Muther tell your children not to walk my way..
"Cool old movie. Transfer looks alright and the release is pretty barebones. I got this cheap when VS were clearing out the DVDs. Recommended."
Excellent release, artwork and restoration.
