It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Best movie ever!

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Angie Dickinson is back! And she's bigger and badder than before. It's 2 years later, and Wilma McClatchie and her two daughters are at home with her boyfriend . All the peace ended when a land baron foreclosed the home, and boyfriend dies in the shootout. Wilma, Biilie(Danielle Brisebois) and Polly(Julie McCollough) go on a state run of crime to avenge her boyfriend and the poor. They come across a journalist(Robert Culp) who is just going along with the ride. They even kidnapped son of the next governor. He was more willing to help the ladies rather than his father.
This movie is has more comedy to it. But I remembered Brisebois from "Archie Bunker's Place". It won't be the same.
Wilma McClatchie is a legend in her own right. In the first one, she took over a business. In this one, she was more like the female Robin Hood. This one is funnier than the first one. And a little more fun.
Too bad they couldn't do a third one. Oh, well what can you do.
2 out of 5 stars.

A reasonable review of this cheap exploitation of "Bonnie and Clyde" might consist of a single sentence: "See 'Big Bad Mama' for review." The original must have made a few shekels because "Big Bad Mama II" is as close to a remake as you can get without being put into a position in which you can bring suit against yourself for plagiarism.This remake has most of the elements of the original -- the old cars twirling around the dusty streets, the chattering Tommy guns, the corrupt rich man, the self-interested guy hanging around with a healthy interest in Big Bad Mama. It even has Angie Dickenson and her two lovely daughters as the principals.However, this isn't as good. Please don't trouble to deny it. Yes, it has the bloody shoot outs, but it doesn't have the bare nakedness of the original. Frankly, it's not enough just to see someone's hands running over unidentifiable lumps of somebody else's flesh. We get brief glimpses of the two daughters capering topless in a pool, but not enough, especially considering that neither can act and one of them looks like a factory reject. What happened to Angie Dickenson's magnificent chest? I was dreadfully disappointed. My heart sank, also my libido. My advice: Rent "Big Bad Mama," the original, a true masterpiece of cinematic poetry. The blood practically spills from the screen along with the breasts.

1934. Shrewd and two-fisted no-nonsense matriarch Wilma McClatchie (a still lovely and sprightly Angie Dickinson) and her two nubile daughters -- brash Billie Jean (the insanely gorgeous Danielle Brisebois) and the sweet, but rather dim-witted Polly (adorable Julie McCullough) -- get revenge on crooked politician Morgan Crawford (a sublimely slimy Bruce Glover) by not only robbing various banks he owns, but also by kidnapping his nice guy son Jordan (likable Jeff Yagher). Director/co-writer Jim Wynorski relates the compact story at constant quick pace, offers a sharp line in amusing campy'n'cheeky humor, stages the exciting, if less than realistic action scenes with real gusto (said action includes a fierce sisterly catfight and a wild anything-goes brawl in a bordello), manages a few moments of humanity amid all the merry silliness, presents a credible enough evocation of the Great Depression era, and, of course, gives us a generous sprinkling of tasty female nudity (a skinny dipping sequence with Julie and Danielle rates as the undeniable yummy highlight). The solid acting from an able cast helps matters a whole lot: Robert Culp lends excellent support as helpful and compassionate journalist Daryl Pearson, Ebbe Roe Smith is appropriately hateful as Morgan's sleazy assistant Lucas Stroud, Charles Cyphers does well as ornery police chief Stark, and Kelli Maroney has a cool last reel cameo as fast-driving fugitive Willie McClatchie. Robert C. New's polished cinematography boasts plenty of neat cinematic flourishes (I really dug the bullet hole-style scene transitions). Chuck Cirino's twangy and jaunty score hits the harmonic spot. A hugely entertaining outing.

Angie Dickinson was outstanding in this very comical, drama as (Wilma McClotchie) and her boy crazy daughters Danielle Briseboise(Billy Jean) and Julie McCullough(Polly). Robert Culp (Daryl Pearson) was a reporter who covered the wild and crazy bank robbers all over the countryside. Daryl even watched the daughters go skinny dipping in one scene and nearly had his head blown completely off. Angie Dickinson had lots of sparks and romance with Culp and nothing was left to your imagination. This film was a 4th of July fireworks with everything burning up in the END! This is a classic film for Angie Dickinson fans, a must see if you missed it.
