Diagonaldi Very well executed

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

hrkepler First, I give you a warning (not for spoilers, don't worry, there's nothing to spoil) before you watch that particular film - wait the day with right mood for cheap entertaining exploitation. Don't force yourself to watch it because you're doing some Roger Corman retrospect or something. First time I saw 'Swamp Women' years ago, I hated it, I thought it was one of the worst film ever made (what it exactly is), second time I watched to see if I was correct about it, and I loved it.Early Roger Corman cheesy exploitation girl power flick definitely doesn't belong among his best works. In this adventure crime thriller, a police officer Lee Hampton (Carole Mathews) is sent to prison undercover to infiltrate into a gang of criminals who know where the stolen diamonds are hidden. She helps them escape from prison and four women start journey in their cut short jeans through swamps of Louisiana with loving couple (Mike Connors and Susan Cummings) as hostages. The trip is filled with girls nagging on each other and constantly falling into catfights.The film is cliché ridden and screenplay is thinner than the paper it was printed on. The prison break is as easy as climbing over the fence (practically that was all that it was in the movie) and infiltrating into a gang of women of hardened criminals is easier than gaining friends in school yard. Thanks to the real setting of bayou and passable acting (except the police captain who was more wooden than a log), the film is quite entertaining. The characters seemed interesting and motivated enough to keep the film alive.'Swamp Woman' is good testament to Roger Cormans directing abilities to churn out such (cheap) entertainment out of so dull script. Don't expect too much action or thrills or suspense. But B-movie and exploitation genre aficionados might find 'Swamp Women' quite fun (boat) ride (through swamp). At least, I did.

sol1218 ***SPOILERS*** The movie "Swamp Woman" has a storyline very similar to a porno flick with a poor and helpless man Bob Matthews being tied up and held hostage by a gang of sexy man hungry women one of them an undercover policewoman.The gals escaped from prison and are now looking for some $500,000.00 in diamonds from a previous robbery hidden in the Louisiana swamp country. It 's not long that the hungry for male companionship, as well as for love, gals lead by their leader the tomboy like Josie start to get hot and steamed up over Bob instead of the diamonds that their looking for. It's undercover policewoman Let. Lee Hampton who was the organizer of the women convicts escape from prison who also falls for the handsome and well groomed Bob. Who even when he jumps into the swamps and fights off a rubber alligator to unsuccessfully save his girlfriend Marie, who was kidnapped along with him, he didn't have as much as one strand of hair on his head out of place.It soon becomes apparent to Josie that Lee isn't exactly whom she claims to be, a woman convict, as well as her being jealous of her taking the handsome and tied up Bob away from her. By then the local police lead by captain Goodridge got the jump on the girls and were coming in for the kill or arrest. It's then when Bob who seemed to be asleep or high on drugs during the entire movie suddenly comes alive and ends up with his hands tied behind his back kicking butt, especially the firm and shapely butt of Josise, all over the place until the swamp police come to both his and Lee's rescue. As for the diamonds nobody seems to care about them anymore since the script writers,in them being so caught up with the sexy gals many cats fights in the film, seemed to have completely forgot about them.One of Roger Cormans early ventures that soon was to set him on the road to success as one of the greats in making bad movies that the public loves on cheap and shoe string budgets. It was later when Corman gets the funding to make more or less conventional films that his success started to wane it that his bad movie loving audience wasn't exactly that interested in them.

Scarecrow-88 Roger Corman quickie, seemingly made specifically for the drive-in crowd, shot in Louisiana Bayou swamp country features statuesque Carole Mathews as Lt. Lee Hampton, undercover in a prison, hoping to secure hidden diamonds buried by con Marie Windsor's Josie Nardo. Josie's prison gang includes Vera (the sexy Beverly Garland as you've never seen her before, full of pent up rage and seething bitterness) and the sensual Marie (Susan Cummings). So Josie and her girls successfully escape prison forming a reluctant partnership with Hampton because she has a getaway car stashed nearby. The four confiscate a boat from someone who owes Josie a favor (this event is never shown) and ride into the swamp on a journey to locate the diamonds worth practically half a million dollars. Oil man Bob Matthews (Mike Connors; Mannix) and a potential fiancé (with a wealthy daddy)are also boat riding through the bayou as he is looking for land to rape (okay, maybe I'm a bit harsh), having the misfortune of coming across Josie and company when their flimsy boat takes water after a leak leaves them stranded. Taking Bob and his whimpering lady hostage, Josie and her gang decide to take them along until they find the diamonds. Corman's predecessor to the (in)famous WIP exploitation pictures Jack Hill and others would bring to life a decade later, is a hoot if you love watching tough-talking ladies who use their fists to pummel each other when the anger sets up in their bones. Seeing the girls ogle the very handsome Connors, particularly Cummings, is also a treat. But nothing compares to seeing Garland all bent out of shape her entire time on screen, often picking fights with everyone, especially Matthews, when they draw her ire. She's a spitfire, full of heated emotions and venom, and it takes very little to boil over her kettle. Windsor commands her troops, even when things get out of hand and her girls start catfighting, and remains in control until the diamonds begin to take root in the very greedy minds of Cummings and Garland who want the cache all to themselves. Meanwhile, Matthews and Connors fall in love while she tries to keep him alive as long as possible while keeping an eye on the con-women. I just love seeing sexy women, in daisy dukes (they cut their prison pants into short-shorts, obviously titillating for the more reserved 50s drive-in movie audience Corman was catering to), always at each others throats, talking trash and engaging in fisticuffs at the drop of a hat. Sure SWAMP WOMEN has its lulls (there's a hell of a lot of boat riding down the bayou, for sure and extensive footage of Mardi Gras at the beginning of the film) and relies on a ton of stock footage of Louisiana nature to give the film an authenticity, but I think fans of the aforementioned Jack Hill WIP films (and SWITCHBLADE SISTERS) will find it entertaining. And there's a lengthy fight between Matthews and Windsor at the conclusion that should be exciting if you enjoy that sort of thing (of course, I sop this up with a biscuit). You get pulling hair, Mannix fighting an alligator with only a knife, Garland up in a tree waiting to gun down the other girls, Windsor hurling a spear, and the girls taking to rolling around in the dirt when tempers flair--is this movie deserving of its poor reputation? I certainly had fun with it.

bensonmum2 An undercover female police officer is sent to prison to infiltrate a gang of female convicts and help them escape. By gaining their trust, the police hope that the gang will lead them to a fortune in diamonds buried somewhere in the swamps of Louisiana. But things don't go quite as planned. Greed and lust take over as the women start fighting each other over the diamonds and their male hostage.Call me crazy, but I enjoyed Swamp Diamonds (or Swamp Women if you prefer) more than a lot of people seem to. Don't get me wrong, I can see all of the problems with this Roger Corman effort that others have pointed out – dodgy acting, padding galore, plot holes, etc. And to find any entertainment in the movie, you've got to get past scenes that tend to drag and plod. But once you do, Swamp Diamonds is a joy of 50s exploitation. It's got it all: a crazy story, buried treasure, escaped female convicts, Beverly Garland, guns, over the top acting, short-shorts, alligators, and "Touch" Connors ("Touch"? What's up with that?) Together, these elements combine to make this one quite a bit of fun. It's not perfect, but I've got no problem rating Swamp Diamonds a 6/10.This is another movie that I might not have discovered if it weren't for Mystery Science Theater 3000. Maybe I was just having fun with the movie, but I'll give this episode of MST3K a 4/5 – worth seeking out.
