| 1. Escape From La [VHS] | 
| Starring: Kurt Russell, Steve Buscemi, Stacy Keach, Peter Fonda, Cliff Robertson
Directed By: John Carpenter
August 05, 1997
The year is 2013. Like New York, Los Angeles has been turned into a prison island for the United State's most undesirable criminals, like New York, Los Angeles is surrounded by a wall so no convict can escape from L.A and once deported to L.A. you can never return to the American mainland which has become a moral society. 16-years after he escaped from New York, One-Eyed former soldier Snake Plissken... more

| | 2. Escape From New York [VHS] | 
| Starring: Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes
Directed By: John Carpenter
June 06, 2000
For this inventive sci-fi actioner, director John Carpenter (who also co-wrote and scored the film) depicts a dystopian future--the film's events take place in 1997--in which New York's Manhattan Island is a lockdown penitentiary that holds only the most dangerous of prisoners. A prisoner himself, ex-soldier Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) is tossed into the apocalyptic metropolis, pressured with the... more

| | 4. Girls Town [VHS] | 
| Starring: Mamie Van Doren, Mel Tormé, Ray Anthony, Margaret Hayes, Paul Anka
Directed By: Charles F. Haas
June 16, 1993
It's always amazed me how director Charles F. Haas managed to orchestrate the outstanding cast that he had for _Girls Town_. The amount of talent assembled for this low-budget classic is virtually unprecedented: Mamie Van Doren, Mel Torme, Ray Anthony (Mamie's real life husband during filming), Paul Anka, Gloria Talbott, Elinor Donahue, Gigi Perreau and The Platters.
Mamie Van Doren's... more

| | 6. Big Bird Cage [VHS] |
| Starring: Pam Grier, Anitra Ford, Candice Roman, Teda Bracci, Carol Speed
Directed By: Jack Hill
December 03, 2000
If you like this kind of movie, you'll love this one. Once again the great Jack Hill puts Pam Grier and Sid Haig in major roles and comes out with a winner. Some people find much to fault with these old Women in Prison flicks or Exploitation movies in general, and I'll grant that they are not always cinematically great, but in the case of Jack Hill, I think all his movies deserve to be watched if for... more

| Starring: Pam Grier; Margaret Markov
Directed By: Eddie Romero
January 09, 2001
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... more

| | 8. Caged Heat 2 [VHS] | 
| Starring: Jewel Shepard, Pamella D'Pella, Susan Harvey, Chanel Akiko Hirai, Ed Crick
Directed By: Cirio H. Santiago
April 07, 1998
Caged Heat 2: Stripped of Freedom (1994) When this originally came out on video, it seemed like every other movie released was either an "erotic thriller" or a kickboxing movie. So it was nice to see a good old fashioned trashy "women in prison" movie like this one from the late great producer/director Cirio H. Santiago (Equalizer 2000). Jewel Shepard (Hollywood Hot Tubs) plays a tough secret agent... more

This is a movie to take the blues away,if you thought jail was no fun lock yourself away with this movie and laugh at the adventure of too sweet,half dead, and jess as they fight for conjugal visits in a prison that anything and everything can happen.this is blaxplotation at it's finest .but remember it's only a movie!!!... more
