We have a gratuitous one today. A women in prison classic from Italy. In 1972's "The Big Bust-Out" we have sweaty beauties with big...smiles! They catfight! They have steamy lesbian sex! They shoot machineguns, throw grenades, get raped, skinny dip, and get sold to mad Arabs. It doesn't get better than this. Today we look at this Euro-Trash exploitation film directed by Ernst Ritter von Theumer.
Seven babes are molested and tortured by butch matrons in a maximum security prison. The babes will be raped and fed to insane inmates. Gail (Margaret Rose Keil), a Scandinavian blonde seems to be the leader of the babes. Inga (Nuccia Cardinali) is her Swiss compadre. Carmen (Felicita Fanny) is a sweaty and big-smiled redhead who is all attitude. Lolita (Christiane Thorn) is a redhead lesbian who will get plenty of action in this film. Okay, Sister Maria (Monica Teuber), a babe nun, will take mercy on these seven and arrange for work release. The babes will do work around her convent. While at the convent, they will be molested by Arab guards and fight back. The gals will murder the Arabs and abscond with Sister Maria. Quickly they will be captured by Shaw (William Berger) and meet their new buddy Nadia (Vonette McGee). They'll skinny dip with Nadia...except for Sister Maria.
Shaw betrays them and sells them to an Arab, Kadir (Gordon Mitchell). When they are brought to a ship, the captain, Jeff (Tony Kendall) fights with the Arabs and gets away with the gals. Now Jeff leads the wanted babes into the mountain wilderness chased by psycho Arabs. He will teach the gals to fight and shoot. They'll steal machineguns and grenades. Uh oh...Kadir wants his property back. He will capture the gals again, gang rape them, dress them up in harem intimates, and allow his men to have their way with them. Now Jeff must save the gals and Sister Maria must keep her purity.
Alas, some of the babes will die horribly. Inga will develop quite the crush on Jeff. Sister Maria will endure unmentionable torture. Will Jeff be able to save his new friends? Will Sister Maria be able to keep her habit on the entire film? Is this film a metaphorical continuation of the European crusaders war on Arab peoples? This is a gratuitous, erotic, and bloody one. For a lot of gore, nudity, sweaty lesbian sex, and skinny dipping, see "The Big Bust-Out."
