The Big Bird Cage
1972, 95 minutes, Rated R
In the 1970s cult film maker Roger Corman produced a series of highly successful "Women In Prison" movies that hit paydirt on the drive-in circuits - and launched the career of Pam Grier (The star of Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown").
Cheap drive-in thrills abound as Terry (Anita Ford) is kidnapped during a nightclub shootout and thrown into a concentration camp for Women.
In the centre of the cmap stands a towering wooden machine - "The Big Bird Cage" - in which the women risk their lives processing sugar as the evil warden looks on.
The prisoners are subjected to sadistic cruelty from the guards and fellow prisoners, and all attempts at escape are dealt with... permanently.
Terry's only hope for escape lies in fellow inmate Blossom (Pam Grier) and her revolutionary allies.
