Summaries

A Black prostitute and a white revolutionary must form an uneasy alliance when they are busted out of prison, then pursued by guerrillas, bounty hunters and the Army.

When two troublemaking female prisoners (one a revolutionary, the other a former harem-girl) can't seem to get along, they are chained together and extradited for safekeeping. The women, still chained together, stumble, stab, and cat-fight their way across the wilderness, igniting a bloody shootout between gangsters and a group of revolutionaries.—Jonathan Ruskin <[email protected]>

Sharing a deep hatred for each other and a dark cell in a hellish Philippine prison in the middle of Manila's untamed jungles, tough-as-nails prostitute Lee Daniels and equally-strong revolutionary Karen are the jail's newest inmates. Before long, after one cat-fight too many, the wild convicts find themselves transferred to a maximum-security prison; however, en route to the new jail, Karen's comrades ambush the convoy, and the two women escape into the dangerous area. Now, two fugitives with entirely different plans roam the peril-laden jungles; but, Lee and Karen are still chained together. Is there an easy way out for the Black Mama and the White Mama?—Nick Riganas
