Details

Spoof based (loosely) on an old Indonesian film, which has had the old foreign soundtrack removed and replaced by an over-dubbed English track. Central character is a female wrestler who has decided that she no longer wants to wrestle, but whose mother (a former wrestler herself) wants her to keep wrestling to make money so her brother can have the operation (his seminal vessels run to his skull, rather than his groin, which purportedly will cause his head to explode if he gets too excited). During the course of her story (in which a number of brawls ensue), she is befriended by a Elvis-impersonating martial artist. This recut/redubbed version is 72 minutes long.

Reviews

Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Leofwine_draca FEROCIOUS FEMALE FREEDOM FIGHTERS is an example of what happens when a company like Troma get their hands on an Indonesian action flick starring Barry Prima. Taking a cue from Woody Harrelson's WHAT'S UP TIGER LILLY?, this simply removes the original dialogue track and replaces it with dubbed-in English voices. Said voices don't follow the original storyline of the film but instead turn things into an absurdist comedy, with constant one-liners and attempts at zany humour. I found it terrible, and offensive to boot, although I wouldn't mind watching the original movie.
dlmartin1953 And I'm thinking of MST3K and Joe-Bob Briggs. How they would love this movie! Yes, it's really, REALLY bad. I think even Joe-Bob would NOT put this movie on his top 10 list. But, somehow, it grabs you.If you like a lot of moaning, groaning, grunting, screaming, squealing, shrieking women, then you'll love this movie. It appears to be a lame attempt at soft-core porn, without the flesh. Like female wrestling? You'll love this movie.Like proto-Bruce Lee martial arts? You'll love this movie.Like trying to lip-read the actors' lines? You'll love this movie.The only thing missing is Adrienne Barbeau (sp?)I'd recommend being in a "certain state of mind" before watching this flick. But, if you do, I guarantee that you'll have a night to remember! It's like Woody Allen's "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" without the cachet of Woody Allen!I give it a 10 simply for its awfulness, and yet...sooooo hypnotic....
thechudbaby Fans of woody allens "Whats Up Tiger Lily" may enjoy this more crude variation of a similar idea. The film is horrible and the dubbing is very immature but if thats your cup of tea then its a fantastic film. Best Viewed in large groups.
cofemug Rent this one right now. I liked this movie, but because it was so bad on all accounts. It was a movie, filmed in english, then redubbed by the Troma Team. That should give you a hint of what it is like. It has a mother saying, "She can't s**t. I made her hot coffee because she can't s**t. Now she will have constipation and a headache." Something like tha. I was laughing so hard. Also, they redub the boy's need for surgery because whenever he is aroused the semen goes to his head, and it will explode. The sister says, "I want to give you a big french kiss, but i can't because it will arouse you and your head will explode." It is extremely funny. It is kind of shocking, extremely funny, and bizarre. Not for the totally normal. Of course, if you are reading this you know about the bizarre, and are not completely normal yourself. Personally i think it is better to watch this in two parts because it gets tiresome after a while, much like i thought MST3K did. I would get bored with both. But, the next day it is funny again. 8/10
