New record!

Like the next guy, I enjoy a good sexploitation flick, but somehow while watching this one, a phrase from "Seinfeld" kept jumping to my mind; "WE DON'T CARE AND IT SHOWS".

They didn't care to get good looking girls, they didn't care to get ones who can act, they didn't care to remove items and clothes that do not belong to 1945 and they didn't care to make a film that makes any sense. One other thing I'm dead sure of; there was no writer or script for this flick, they were improvising just as they filmed! These movies are all about nudity/sex and torture, but this thing manages to fail miserably in both, nudity is very restricted as if it was an American film, and the gore is so stupidly done it is funny... special credit should be given to the tongue pull out scene as being worth a nomination for "The Middle Finger Award".

They even used special effects in two scenes where women were being burned in gas ovens, but it seems that the budget for these effects was seven and a half dollars cause it looked retarded beyond belief.

Some stock footage was used along with lines from Nazi actors that were so corny I wanted to stick a needle in my ears! When there is 10 minuets left to the end, leave anything you might be doing and prepare to watch the greatest shooting action in the history of cinema, the women each becomes an Arnold Schwarzenegger and they take all the German officers and soldiers out in a way that makes you wonder what if these five women decide to invade Russia on their own?

To summarize, this is a must, it is so stupid and insulting to viewers that you must see it to believe.
