Enjoy this movie for what it is: A grindhouse-worthy girl-on-girl comedic action film. Being I was born in '78, it's exciting to witness great early cinema. Plot? So-so. However, it's the strangely placed jokes, the hardly-Matrix-kung fu fighting and the so-unsubtle-you'll-talk-back-to-the-screen sexual innuendos that make it tolerable.
The part I have a problem with is the over-advertisement of Pam Grier in this film, all th ewhile her not having such a big part. Then again, I guess it's easier to say starring Pam Grier when most of the other actors/actresses in the Big Bird Cage semed to have fallen off the map decades ago. When I hear Blaxplotation, I think Coffey (sorry if I spelled it wrong) or Foxy Brown where th film reflects more African-American roles are present moreso than caucasian, etc.
Overall, a very thorough and decently made movie not to be taken seriously. |
