Watch The Big Bust Out For Free

Thanks for the memories!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

At a women's prison (presumably in either Algeria or Morocco) seven female convicts decide to escape due to the abusive treatment they receive at the hands of their jailers. So they eagerly accept an offer from a nun named "Sister Maria" (Monica Teuber) to work at the local convent. Once at the convent they overpower the guards and take the nun with them to a local house where one of their friends named "Nada" (Vonetta McGee) has agreed to house them temporarily. Unfortunately, Nada's boyfriend betrays them and sells all of them (including Nada) into slavery. However, once they are transported to the coast the pilot of the ship "Jeff" (Tony Kendall) refuses to have anything to do with it and after a gunfight he and the eight women escape by truck into the desert. From here on out they are hunted by the police, the nearby French army garrison, slave traders and Arab bandits who all want the women for one reason or another. So much for the plot. As far as the movie is concerned I liked the overall premise and I thought Margaret Rose Keil (as "Gail"), Nuccia Cardinali (as "Inga") and the aforementioned Monica Teuber and Vonetta McGee, were quite attractive. However, I must admit that the film was badly edited and the action scenes could have used more attention to detail. I should also add that there is quite a bit of violence and nudity in this movie in case anybody might need to know. In any case, while this certainly isn't the best "women-in-prison" movie ever made it managed to pass the time and I rate it as about average.

Also known as, Crucified Girls of San Ramon, although I don't know why and 3 bastards and 7 Sinners on my copy, this had great trash potential but was ultimately just too much for director, Ernest R von Theumer, who was more used to producing. Much is seemingly filmed on exotic locations which are presumably Middle Eastern but certainly a mix of beautiful and bleak and with numerous extras and a pack of horses to deal with this must have become quite an enterprise. Anyway, apart from the arduous scenes as an excellent, Tony Kendall leads his ladies across the inhospitable landscape, there is time for naked frolics, rape, torture and flogging - so its not all boring stuff! Gordon Mitchell is effective, though somewhat over the top, as his arch opponent and there is much fighting and shooting. The girls get a go with the guns too so plenty of variety as the story which had begun in a prison, pops into a nunnery skirts the spaghetti western genre and toys with the white slave trade, really just ends up one big punch up.

I am not a great user of this kind of European crap. But, honestly, I have already seen worse. There is no real length in this fast paced and action packed yarn. But it's senseless and totally unbelievable. You can find, in this one, nudity, sadism, brutality; all gratuitous, of course.I like girls with guns stories, and this one is rather effective. Even if I may prefer A GUN FOR JENNIFER or SET IT OFF.Don't forget it's a film made in 1972, and produced between Italy and Germany. This kind of features, there were hundreds of them.You've understood that it's not my cup of tea to talk about movies like this. I just do it because I had it in my hands and it seems no user had commented it yet. So, it's done.But if you may like this kind of films, don't hesitate. Get it.
