It took me a whole day to watch the 4 disc box of Angel of Death 2. Due the reason that the first part was Andreas first success he made this sequel, but to be honest and I said it before, it has nothing to do with part 1. Okay, he uses some shots from the first part but it isn't in the same context as in part one. He in fact re edited the shots. Of course Andreas is in this flick too as is the man he adores, Jess Franco. The difference with part one is that there is gore available only you have to wait until the last half hour of the flick. But it is worth waiting for. All made by his friend Olaf Ittenbach. As always he make use of the same actors as in his other movies, like Franco and Lina Romay. Just of the record, when you watch the interview on the extra disc with Romay you can notice it is at the office of X Rated Kult. And just have a close look, some OOP DVD's are available in his office. The acting is believable and much better then part one, the editing and score is better. Anyway, the limited box I own has 3 versions of this flick. Frauengefangnis 4: ungekurzte version. It clocks in at 88 minutes no English subs, German language. This is the part that you will find in the shops. The gore is intact, the movie starts immediately with a view over the prison island. The nudity is intact. No more no less just say, the cut version available all over the world. Women behind bars 4: director's cut. This one clocks in at 105 minutes and is the only version with English subs. It is also the only version with an alternative opening. This version is hard to get because the alternative opening has some XXX features. A girl hitch hike and is picked up by a weirdo. In fact this opening has nothing to do with the movie except that the girl appears later on the prison island. Of course the guy take a short cut into the woods and she has to give him head. all filmed on screen facial cuming included. Further this version has the explicit nudity/lesbo scene's all shown. This is the XXX version only available at specialised shops. Further on the gore is intact. Angel of death 2: rohschnittversion. This version has the same opening as the cut version and clocks in at 124 minutes. The gore is available uncut but the nudity/lesbo scene's are more explicit and there are other lesbo scene's available not seen in the other versions.
This film, as the title says refer to those 70's women behind bar exploitation/grindhouse flicks combined with an ode at the Ilsa flicks. Only watch it if you can take real gore and are not offended by the XXX nudity.
