pam grier be the super soul sister of the 1970 and appear in many blaxploitation film that have recently be discover and appreciate by a new generation . i can safely say that black mama and white mama may be the bad pam grier movie i have ever see . grier be lee and margaret markov be karen while they be two female prisoner who escape from prison after karen revolutionary friend attack the paddy wagon . chain to each other and the film become the defiant one for woman and but have three separate plot represent a fat criminal ( filipino sleaze star vic diaz ) want lee dead and a cowboy bounty hunter ( the excellent sid haig ) search for the two girl while and karen revolutionary friend search for her . the film eventually become so convoluted and uninvolved with the two woman that the title should have be men chase woman . grier and an action star and be not give any chance to participate in any of the many ( overlong ) action scene . markov be excellent a karen and grier be ok a lee and but both be eventually forget in the many subplots . one interesting scene have the bounty hunter force a police officer and his chief to drop their pant so he can shoot the one with the small penis ( judge by his whore ) and but be easily forget amidst all the mayhem . black mama and white mama start out great a a woman in prison film complete with lesbian warden and a shower scene and then completely switch to a chase film . if director eddie romero ( famous for direct filipino horror film ) have just stick with the wip theme and he would have be fine . instead and bmwm get real old real fast and the surprise end just make the audience wonder why they sit through a 90 minute film for it to end like this . another problem represent where be the film suppose to be set . while some of the accent be hispanic and city have spanish name ( los roble and etc . ) and all the native be obviously asian . hmmm . recommend only for die hard grier fan and who even then will be disappoint .
