Plots(1)

Lee (Pam Grier), a tough prostitute and Karen (Markov), a revolutionary, are admitted to a tough women's prison where almost immediately (after some playful showering that prefigures Porky's) they clash. Packed off to a maximum security prison, their transport is ambushed by Karen's guerrilla friends and the two escape into the Filipino jungle. Chained together and with differing escape plans their clash intensifies as Lee wants to retrieve a stash of stolen cash to get her off the island and Karen wants to re-join her revolutionary group. Escape isn't easy as they come up against a series of obstacles including a corrupt cop, a bounty hunter, a sadistic Drug Lord and guerrillas who threaten to turn everything upside down.

English But yeah, this already seemed quite good to me and the duo of main heroines sit together in a way that they are each different and are somewhat simply defined as opposites. But it simply works for this story and you will quite enjoy their escape with them, up until the pretty successful finale. Successful from a screenwriting perspective. ()
