Featured review

Don't you walk away from me, you chalk-faced whore!

This is one of the best of the women-in-prison (WIP) films.

It features Linda Blair, Sybil Danning, and Tamara Dobson. And, when I say features, I mean features. Also featured are Sharon Hughes, Penthouse Playmate Monique Gabriel and Stella Stevens, as the Captain.

John Vernon is the warden, and his office looks like something you might find at the Playboy mansion, with shag carpeting, a Jacuzzi, an exotic fish tank, a fully stocked bar and mood lighting. Henry Silva, the guy I most like see get it, no matter what movie he is in, is the big boss.

Like all WIP flicks, you have lots of nudity, drug use, prostitution, violence, murder, rape, knife fights, shankings, more rape, racism, corruption, tranny abuse, and more rape.

It all ends when the blacks and whites quit fighting each other, and join together to defeat Danning and her henchwomen.

Classic sexploitation and blaxploitation.

Trivia
Star Linda Blair says that the script kept getting re-written and that the film ended up not resembling the script for which she had originally signed. That included adding several nude scenes, including her topless shower scene. It was her first onscreen nudity and she didn't want to do it, but producers told her, "Well, if you don't do it, you're never gonna work again." So she gave in because she felt she had no choice.

Goofs
The boom microphone is visible multiple times during the movie.

Alternate versions
The 1986 and 1990 UK video versions were cut by 1 min 38 secs by the BBFC to remove the rape before the fight on the roof and to heavily edit fight scenes including groin kicks, face slaps and a woman's head being hit against a window. Some fight cuts were restored in the 1998 MIA video release though most of the original BBFC edits were retained. The 2006 Anchor Bay DVD had been heavily pre-edited and was missing the BBFC cuts along with some other edits.
