Ferocious Female Freedom Fighters

Well, I had thought I had seen it all until I saw 4F. Basically what must have happened is a bunch of guys got real drunk one night and were adlibbing to some crappy asian wrestling movie they were watching on the international channel. Someone decided to record it, and hence you get this movie. Some of the lines in this mockfest will make you laugh to the point of tears. The movie features a butt kickin martial arts master who talks like King Elvis Presley, and who can only count to three. He takes on such titanic forces such as the "big ugly guys", and who can forget the ebonically adept snake n the bath tub....."you been wipin your *ss with that dirty *ss rag". This movie isn't even to be explained, just rent it and I guarantee you won't regret it.

And I'm thinking of MST3K and Joe-Bob Briggs. How they would love this movie! Yes, it's really, REALLY bad. I think even Joe-Bob would NOT put this movie on his top 10 list. But, somehow, it grabs you.

If you like a lot of moaning, groaning, grunting, screaming, squealing, shrieking women, then you'll love this movie. It appears to be a lame attempt at soft-core porn, without the flesh.

Like female wrestling? You'll love this movie.

Like proto-Bruce Lee martial arts? You'll love this movie.

Like trying to lip-read the actors' lines? You'll love this movie.

The only thing missing is Adrienne Barbeau (sp?)

I'd recommend being in a "certain state of mind" before watching this flick. But, if you do, I guarantee that you'll have a night to remember!

It's like Woody Allen's "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" without the cachet of Woody Allen!

I give it a 10 simply for its awfulness, and yet...sooooo hypnotic....

Ferocious Female Freedom Fighters (1982) was a project that Charles Kaufman and the L.A. Connection worked on. Troma bought the rights to a real bad Indonesian action film (shot in Panavision) and re-dubbed it. They made a terrible movie watchable, but it's filled with very juvenile and dated material. But that doesn't mean it's not watchable.

The plot is (F.F.F.F) is about a female wrestler (Bambi)who's sick brother needs an emergency operation. To get the money fast, she signs up with a shady wrestling organization (even though she was courted by a rival promoter). During her training she meets Barney (a man who talks and fights like Elvis) and tries to woo her throughout the movie. Like I said, the movie's humor is very juvenile and adult but if you're into Troma films then you'll dig this one big time. What will happen to Bambi? Will her little brother get that operation? Can Barney sweep her off of her feet? You'll have to find out for yourself!

Highly recommended.

The demented and hilarious re-working of what appears to be originally a dreary Filipino wrestling movie/crime drama, the Troma team does what Woody Allen did in "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" but with less restraint. The humor ranges from mildly absurd to outright raunchy, but it made me and a roommate laugh until we had to stop the tape. Not for everyone, but those who enjoy "Mystery Science 3000" and similar entertainment should find this right up their alley.

In the vein of mocking bad movies, there isn't much to choose from. But this Troma send up of bad Asian wrestling movies is hilarious. Quotable and fun, this is a great film to watch with friends. Be warned, however: this is not a movie to watch for quality cinema. It is a film to watch for pure laughs.
