Details

Four female convicts break out of prison, and during their escape they take hostage a bus full of young female tennis players. They drive the bus to the house of the judge who originally sent them to prison, where--since this is after all a women-in-prison picture--the hostages undergo various forms of physical and sexual abuse in various degrees of nudity.

UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
thegovernator This is really bad. Awful dubbing, rubbish acting, badly shot, choppily edited and generally terrible.I also didn't like the fact that the scummy rapist judge didn't get shot at the end and was allowed to completely get away with forcing himself on another woman! that was a sickening scene and its a fairly misogynistic film.However, there are 3 plus points. All of them are the foxy women. Erica (Ada Pometti) is particularly sexy and has a great but brief sex scene. Patrizia Funari has a nice backside which is shown off. And the girl who isn't listed here but plays 'Susanna' is very gorgeous.I shall be checking out more of their films!However, they were the ONLY three plus points and thats why the film gets 3 from me. 1 POINT for each sexy woman!
Woodyanders A dangerous quartet of vicious female criminals -- ruthless Communist terrorist Monica, predatory aggressive lesbian Diana, dumpy cow Betty and insatiable nympho slut Erica -- break out of jail and hijack a school bus full of lovely young teenage girl tennis players. The ferocious foursome seek refuge in the swanky house of a powerful judge. Naturally, things go from already pretty bad to much, much worse. Director Conrad Buegnel really pours on the succulent scintillating sleaze with commendable glee and gusto: we've got rape (Erica has her wanton way with the hunky bus driver!), lesbianism, voyeurism, gratuitous nudity, catfights, verbal harassment and degradation galore, all served up hot'n'nasty in a tight and snappy 75 minute running time. Moreover, such delectable damsels as Lilli ("To Be Twenty") Carati, Ines ("Eyeball") Pellegrini, Marina ("SS Extermination Camp") Daunia, Dirce ("Porno Holocaust") Funari, Ada ("French Sex Murders") Pometti, and Zora ("Cannibal Ferox") Kerova all dutifully doff their duds and bare their beautiful bodies in the name of blithely low-grade and unapologetic down'n'dirty exploitation. Pippo Caruso's funky, hard-grooving, pulsating rock score, an incredibly crappy'n'sappy insipid pop theme song, Nino Celeste's grotty photography, a tense last reel siege situation between the cops and the convicts, the laughably lousy dubbing, a pleasingly downbeat ending and the excessively coarse dialogue further enhance the infectiously scummy and sordid fun. Only a clunky political subtext that's articulated in a few heavy-handed speeches by Monica to the judge detracts a bit from the slimy merriment, but that minor fault aside this baby overall rates as a perfectly putrid piece of utter grindhouse trash.
Syd! Wow! What a great movie! Why has nobody heard of this one? It was released as a double bill tape with SWEET SUGAR, but the tape doesn't contain any credits for the film besides the title. It does seem to be an Italian release, but I'm not sure whether it was made in 1974, though: there's a reference in the film to one of the characters being in prison since 1975. Maybe it was dubbed into English after 1975. Who knows?This is one taut, zippy (70 minutes) and surprisingly political thriller, with enough sex, nudity, lesbianism, rape, violence and murder to please any exploitation fan. The movie begins with a gang of sex starved Communist revolutionaries on the run from a prison break. They hijack a bus load of nubile tennis players and hold them hostage at a mansion owned by the bourgeois capitalist judge who put the girls away in the first place. Amazing stuff. Rent it now!
Pierre-Alexandre Buisson JAILBIRDS is a movie whose storyline is appealing for sick fans like me : 4 women who just broke out of prison get a lift from a bus full of young and innocent female tennis players. They take hostages and bring them all into a judge's house. Then the fun begins.Beautifully photographed, but badly written and poorly acted, this "carceral drama" mixes a political content with some gratuitous sex and rape scenes. We get to see every actress undress and I wouldn't complain if it wasn't so softcore...The music, as I recall, is hilarious, and the ending is not really surprising. Well, this one's not bad but it is just another of those numerous 70's plotless softcore sleaze numbers... For lovers only.ATTENTION : In Canada, the movie is released under the title WOMEN AGAINST WOMEN as well as under the title VIOLEZ LES OTAGES! - and I know that cuz I've been ripped off, I bought both...
