Movie Reviews of Black Mama, White Mama
Movie Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
A shower scene in the first five minutes, cat-fights, lesbian prison guards, Pam Grier & Sid Haig; how is it possible that neither Jack Hill nor Roger Corman had anything to do with this movie?
This movie is not really just a Women in Prison flick though as the two main characters spend most of the movie as escapees fleeing across an island from a crime-boss cowboy (Haig, in one of his best roles). I found this movie to be just as entertaining as anything from Roger Corman or Jack Hill (whom I'm a huge fan of). It has all the sleazy, violent, and humorous moments you would expect from either of those two auteurs. I will admit that I had a few (9-10) drinkies while watching this, but they were small-ish glasses (I put ice in 'em too, so some of it was water), but regardless of my level of inebriation, this movie is a keeper if you are a fan of the fun side of 70's exploitation movies such as Coffy or Switchblade Sisters. Plus it features the wonderful Pam Grier, who makes any movie better merely by being present on screen.
When it comes to this type of cult film on DVD, you can do much, much worse than MGM home video. While there are no real special features besides the trailer on this DVD, the widescreen print is clean and clear and the colors are vivid.
Purchase with confidence.
