The Abductors

As soon as this movie started it was like a breath of fresh air from the non-PC days where anything went! A fun, down and dirty flick like this wouldn't stand a chance in today's climate, which is why I seldom bother with modern action films anymore, unless Quentin Tarantino has a hand in them. Anyway -- I learned later that this is the second movie in the so-called "Ginger Trilogy", starring the sexy and mouth-watering blonde Cheri Caffaro as Ginger, a female James Bond of sorts. An organization of seedy white guys are kidnapping young women, forcing them to strip from top (none of the girls here are well endowed there, if that's your primary interest) to bottom, and then selling them off to rich men who'll do with them what they like. Ginger steps in undercover to crack the ring, and is not beyond teasing her men to extract what she needs from them. Miss Caffaro is alluring enough to keep me interested, and this is just one of those wild and enjoyable sexploitation romps with lots of skin plus funny dialogue and acting that will entertain anyone in the mood for such outlandish smut. I'm going to try and see Cheri's other Ginger films. **1/2 out of ****

Three cheerleaders and a beautiful blonde beauty pageant winner mysteriously disappear(kidnapped) when a gang out to abduct beautiful young girls and sell them into bondage to middle-aged, grizzled business men operates at the beginning of this fun yet tasteless film. Like the first Ginger, The Abductors has the copious nudity, non-PC lingo, and, at its heart, Cheri Caffaro back again as Ginger. You know Ginger - the girl working for a detective agency right out of college with martial arts training and one heck of a bod. A bod you know you will get ample chances to view. While I didn't like this one quite as much as the first Ginger movie, it does mirror the style and flavor of that first film. William Grannel is back as Jason Varone with all the acting talent of a drying, freshly painted wall - yet his scenes with Caffaro are fun and flirtatious. Caffaro gives a much more steady performance in this film becoming very comfortable in Ginger's clothes(and out of them). There is quite a perverse angle to this film with the whole white slavery into bondage thing, a rape, and several soft-core sex scenes of basically forced consensual sex. Acting ranges from mediocre(Cafarro and Richard Smedley as the love interest for Ginger, and Patrich Wright as a heavy) to bad(Grannel and Laurie Rose as Carter Winston - I just got so sick of hearing that stupid name!) But likes it predecessor The Abductors is a whole lot of fun and a trip down that seventies lane with its far out clothes and a style of film totally lost in today's milquetoast PC era.

The movie starts off on a good note w/two gentlemen escorting a half naked woman into a room where they leave her. The basic plot is 3 cheerleaders are kidnapped, made to strip, and taught sex acts so they may be sold to businessmen to be their "mistresses in bondage" for the price of $100,000. Any attempt to resist is punished by being tied up. To show their complete cooperation, they are asked to removed their underwear. None of the three decline. A detective is assigned to investigate this, she eventually finds the location of the girls but is caught by the evil henchmen. She is then put in the same position they were, but manages to break free. This movie was everything I expected. Full frontal nudity, as well as a somewhat enticing story line. It's a grade above the usual corny 70's porn acting.

This is the second installment in the Ginger series. Ginger (Cheri Caffaro) is a sexy detective who sets out to nail a gang of men who kidnap young, pretty women to sell them as white slaves to rich businessmen, as mistresses and with a view to bondage. Certainly she matches James Bond in terms of enjoying sleeping with the enemy, regardless of whether she converts them to good, as well as anyone else along the way who is attracted to her, which means she will be attracted to him. But this movie goes beyond James Bond in terms of not only graphic scenes, but bondage fantasies, and it seems Ginger enjoys men in bondage even more than her opponents enjoy women in bondage. There are also good action and backdrop, some amusing tension between Ginger and her mentor, and a good feeling or revenge against the bad guys, altho at the very end the movie departs from the main themes. The acting (besides Cheri) leaves something to be desired. Very entertaining, and definitely recommended.

THE ABDUCTORS opens with the abduction of several beautiful women by a group of men. The opening credits appear, with a fantastic theme song featuring a grand horn section.

Enter mod, tough-talking, super-detective, Ginger (Cheri Caffaro), who is sent in to rescue the kidnapped girls, before they're sold into "white slavery".

Meanwhile, the mean, terrible men abuse and degrade their captives as much as possible. Full frontal nudity ensues.

Fear not! Ginger is on the case. She's running down clues while wearing amazing outfits. Ginger seems to have brought her entire wardrobe along. She's got more snazzy clothes than all three of Charlie's Angels combined!

Other than being a showcase for Ginger's innate fashion sense, there's also the copious nudity to consider, including bulbous, hairy men. Those watching for the "sex scenes", would be better served to simply look on the internet. Unless, sweaty, fur-covered males are your forte. This is about as ridiculous as a movie can get. It's also incredibly dull whenever Ginger's not on the screen!

HIGHLIGHT: Ginger's maraca dance routine!

An ancient artifact from those drive-in days...
