Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Art Vandelay This has the production values of a 70s TV show, except with more fake blood to splash around. It makes Chuck Norris's revisionist Vietnam movies seem like Saving Private Ryan by comparison. Everything and everyone is a badly acted cartoon. I bet they shot this whole movie in a week. There is one marginally compelling reason to watch this movie - Pam Grier's fabulous, um, everything except the Afro. Goodness she was fine.

The_Void I'm a big fan of Jack Hill's pair of Pam Grier-lead women in prison flicks; The Big Doll House and The Big Bird Cage, and was hoping for something similar from this film seeing as it has similar people involved with it. It has to be said that Black Mama, White Mama is nowhere near as good as the earlier two films and also isn't as good as the plot summary would leave me to believe it is...but it is, at least, an entertaining exploitation effort. The film's central idea is really good and could easily have lead to a classic; but unfortunately the film adds in a number of side plots, and these unfortunately are not as interesting. We, of course, focus on a women's prison and in particular two prisoners that don't get on (one black, one white). Their superiors decide to ship them off to another prison; and for extra security, they are chained together. The white prisoner is involved with a revolution, and her friends attack the convoy carrying the prisoners en route, and the pair is able to escape. Now, chained together, they have to battle their way across the countryside.Naturally, the film has the same brash exploitation style (which includes a food fight and the obligatory shower scene) as Jack Hill's women in prison films; but it's clear that Eddie Romero is no Jack Hill, and it comes off looking more like an imitation than the real thing. Pam Grier once again gives a gritty turn as one half of the lead, and gets good back up from Margaret Markov; the other half. There's also a small role for Sid Haig, who plays a gangster. The parts of the film that focus on the prisoners are generally good and entertaining, and I'm sure this would have been a classic if the whole film focused on that idea. The side plot involving Sid Haig is not too bad and has some interesting moments; but the whole plot revolving around a revolution is frankly dull and I found it very hard to care for. The setting is rather nice (once again it's some banana republic) and there's some good location shots, at least. Overall, I would recommend this film to anyone that likes the work that Jack Hill did with Pam Grier; but don't go into it expecting anything on par.

bkoganbing Imagine an exploitive remake of The Defiant Ones with a black chick and a white chick attached to each other. Set the story on some Caribbean island where the drug dealers rule and the revolution has arrived. And have the black woman be from Huggy Bear's stable of ladies and the white woman be a watered down Patty Hearst and you've got Black Mama, White Mama.In those waning days of the drive-in theater this item must have been a big old hit. All the hot buttons of the Seventies are pushed in this one. Even though they both fill out their clothes better and will get a few whistles from the males in the audience no one is ever going to mistake Pam Grier and Margaret Markov for Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis. All right, Halle Berry and Jamie Lee Curtis.Margaret and Pam are prisoners where the guards and the warden look lasciviously at the new fish arriving. Margaret is a rich girl from the state who took up 'the revolution', whilst Pam's your basic high priced call girl who's been servicing the local drug kingpin and grew tired of it and tried to leave the island.Margaret's fellow revolutionaries ambush the bus transporting them from the women's prison to town, but they get lost in the escape. Both have their different agendas, but like Sid and Tony they can't quite agree on whose agenda comes first. Makes for some interesting times as the police, the drug dealers, and the revolutionaries are all looking for these two illfated chain buddies.Just so you don't get any wrong ideas the head of the revolutionaries and Markov's kanoodling partner is named Ernesto played by Filipino actor Zaldy Zshornack. The whole mess was shot in the Phillipines who were getting their own film industry started.Nice location photography in the Phillipines is all that Black Mama, White Mam has to recommend it. But if you're a fan of really bad black exploitation flicks, this is one for you.
