Or just plain the genesis of Prison exploitation movies involving women ... good looking ones that is. I have to admit and even though this still is sleazy as can be: I did not expect this to be as entertaining as it was. And the fact the director acknowledges some of the shortcomings and his initial unwillingess to go through with making this, only makes me admire him more. Because not only did he go through with (and maybe he got lucky with the cast a little bit), but he made the best of it. Well for back then and again the circumstances.
Having said all that, this is or at least feels like the origin of what became a very lucrative subgenre. And I'm not talking about filming in the Philippines (although there is a great documentary about that too I've heard)! Nudity, violence and many things that might make a person that is politically correct cringe ... or worse! And if they add the fact that this spawned many cheap imitations you kind of understand where they're coming from. Still this is good stuff and funny at times, where you don't expect it. Enjoyable romp, that spawned one sequel of sorts ...
