When two troublemaking female prisoners (one a revolutionary, the other a former harem-girl) can't seem to get along, they are chained together and extradited for safekeeping. The women, still chained together, stumble, stab, and cat-fight their way across the wilderness, igniting a bloody shootout between gangsters and a group of revolutionaries.

Such a frustrating disappointment
Excellent adaptation.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Spoilers. Observations. Opinions. Hilarious. This film is so funny. The nuns outfits are twin penguin / Siamese twin paper dolls. The two women on the run manage to attack and whack their aggressors. They win. Put aside their hatred after beating each other up some more. They outwit a lot of people. The buses are cute. Karen gets killed in the end. I did not like that. This knocks my ten down to a nine. I am a film critic and movie reviewer. This film I call a tragicomedy. It was insanely stupid, yet I had to watch the whole thing without waiting for the recording to finish.
Exploitation gem with one of the all-time classic titles. Ebony & ivory beauties Pam Grier and Margaret Markov play two convicts at a prison work camp in the Philippines. The two don't get along very well but wind up chained together. As they are being transported to another prison, rebel friends of Markov try to rescue her. When the army shows up, Grier & Markov go all Poitier & Curtis and take it on the run still chained together.Grier is great and Markov is fine. Sid Haig also hams it up, which is fun to watch.. Blonde Lynn Borden steals the show as a prison matron who is into chicks and pervs on them showering through a peephole. I've seen quite a few women-in-prison movies and this character is a constant in almost all of them but usually they are played by women who are more "butch" than the sexy Ms. Borden. Pretty Laurie Burton plays the somewhat nicer matron who is lovers with Borden but doesn't approve of her "side action." Too bad these two aren't in the whole movie. I'd probably rate it higher just for them.The first half-hour is pretty much what you expect from a women-in-prison flick. There's nice eye candy with many lovely ladies showing what they've got. None lovelier than the foxy Pam, of course. There's a shower scene, cat fights, teases of lesbianism, and sadism. But most of the movie is the two women on the run, not in the prison. Which is a shame as the movie isn't quite as much fun after the escape. Still worth seeing for fans of '70s exploitation flicks or just fans of sexy Pam Grier.

I am going to star in my own women in prison movie. Right this second, then i found it in Target. That is all I have to say on the matter.
This is one heck of a sleazy film. Like so many "women in chains" films, this one is chock full of lesbianism. However, unlike most prior films, which strongly implied this, BLACK MAMA, WHITE MAMA shows an awful lot of skin as a horny female prison guard leers at the women as they shower as well as has sex with one of the inmates. For the early 1970s, this is definitely a soft-core pornographic film--sort of like GIRLS GONE WILD GOES TO PRISON! It's also a bad rip-off of THE DEFIANT ONES, though in this case it's two hot females who hate each other who are chained together when they escape. Whereas the original film is considered a classic, this one can only be considered a classic example of bad taste. That's because there is no subtlety and the movie is just cheap--cheap thrills, cheap writing and very cheap acting.Pam Grier is the "black inmate with an attitude"--a lady who was set up and sent to prison on this hellish island. Margaret Markov is a revolutionary. When they escape, they both can't stand each other and have opposite goals. However, since it is cliché-driven, there's really no surprise in how the film ends--with their both becoming (gag me) friends.
