Kung fu, bikini drug gangs, car chases, nudity, boat chases... sloppy as fuck but raunchy, absurd, and bonkers enough to be enjoyable. If ‘in the zone’ politzio mode Lenzi directed this it would be a 5/5

Cult Movie Challenge 2024
Week 3, January 14 - 20
Crown International Pictures Week“I saw what you did to that gym instructor, lady! You got some serious moves.”
Hm… first dud of this year’s Cult Challenge.
A gang of femme fatales that likes to start scantily clad fist fights in parks is up no good. Good thing Sondra Currie as Lacy Bond is on the case (a character name that if you think about it hard enough might just be an babe-esque exploitative wink wink, but is never as overt as the tits and ass clad bond women of film history such as Pussy Galore). She’s here to clean up the legal system, which needs as she says, “a… -
Doesn’t meet the seemingly obvious criteria of that title until the last 20 minutes, and even then its a barely-registered footnote. However, this is a petty complaint as Sondra Currie is all kinds of awesome all on her own.
#27/95 of Summer of Trash 2023
Watch a movie from Mill Creek's 200-Movie Cult Cinema boxed set
Straight away we are witness to her power as she uses her Awkarate (Awkward Karate) to thwart a hallway’s worth of rampaging prisoners trying to escape. She’s then brought into a special task force to take down a female criminal ring run by an old lady with a muscled-bumpkin henchman/lover .
This isn’t as gloriously fun as it sounds as we don’t see any…

Goofy 70’s exploitation fun with some hot chicks kicking some serious ass. I dig it, but it’s too long. Like, 20 minutes too long. That’s unfortunate because Sondra Currie and Jeannie Bell make a great team and some of the (karate) action is surprisingly decent. But this really could have used some tighter editing. Still, fans of tamer exploitation movies that lean to the sillier side should have a fairly good time with Policewomen. All in all, I enjoyed my watch.

Policewomen aka ACAB: All Cops Are Babes
Well, at least one is.
"So you need a woman to go undercover?"
"Yeah. Or under the covers."
Like porn, exploitation film is always at its best when the performers look like they're having fun. In the case of Policewomen, that fun is not only present and accounted for, but it also reached across the screen and had me grinning and chuckling to my stupid self on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Whenever I pick up one of these drive-in/grindhouse/cult classic budget DVDs, this is exactly the sort of film I'm looking for (and rarely get). You don't have to have the strongest production value or performances, but give me a light sense of…

Deutscher Titel:
Sadomona - Insel der teuflischen FrauenLacy Bond, Spezialagentin der Polizei, soll sich in eine Verbrecherorganisation auf der Insel Catalina einschmuggeln. Diese besteht nur aus Frauen, geleitet von einer 70-Jährigen Dame.
Trashiger Krimiaction/"Martial-Arts" Film aus den USA von 1974, der doch seinen eigenen Unterhaltungswert hat. Geboten wird uns hier einiges absurdes, von den Charakteren über die Action bis zu Szenen und Dialogen in der Handlung. Wenn man weiß was man da schaut kann man schon seinen Spass haben.
Kalkofen und Rütten begleiten uns in ihrer eigenen Art durch den Film.

"How did you come up with a gun?"
"I've got ways!"
"I asked you a straight question, and I want a straight answer!"
"It's fake! I made it!"
"Damn clever!"Why don't they make movies about hot redhead cops who kick everyone's ass with their karate while infiltrating a deadly gang of nubile gold smugglers led by a weird old lady who is fucking a dimwitted giant on the side any more? It's the woke Illuminati, isn't it? I know it is. [shakes fist]
Feminism ur-text? There, I said it. But I added a question mark just in case I'm wrong.
Lacey Bond. Grindhouse suffragette. Question mark?
"Like a female mafia?"
"It sure looks that way. And pardon my pun, but our male undercover agents haven't been able to penetrate the gang."
"So you need a woman - pardon my pun - to go undercover."
"Or under the covers!" -
L. Frost #2 --- Policewomen is a fun time. Sondra Currie is assigned to a case that involves gold smuggling. The suspect is a 70-year-old lady named Maude. Currie's character first has to prove to her male counterparts that she is worthy of the job. Of course, all of them are being total misogynistic assholes about it. But she knows how to deal with them which leads to some awesome verbal fights.
She's a total badass throughout the whole movie. Doing karate, chasing cars, hijacking vehicles, jumping between transporters and boats, you name it. I'm super happy that I checked this out after rediscovering her in Mama's Dirty Girls yesterday. She's so cool.
Too bad the movie has some pacing issues. It felt overly ambitious and would've worked better as an 80 to 90-minute movie (it says 90 minutes on here but the version I've watched went close to 100).

Merry SchleFaZ liebe Scheißfilm-Wichtel 2/4:
Wie klingt ein deutscher Filmtitel, der einem eine Insel voller gewalttätiger Frauen verspricht, man am Ende aber nur einen billigen James Bond-Abklatsch bekommt, anstatt mit Womanizer eben mit einer neunmalklugen Hausfrau/Gefängniswärterin/Kung-Fu-Expertin, die sich der Männerwelt mit Händen und Füßen entgegenhampelt?
Eigentlich auch ziemlich lustig, oder... fand ich auch!Dabei braucht man die Insel gar nicht so dringend, da die Toy-Boy-geile Granny Maude sich eine Knastschwestern-Bande, bestehend aus den erlesensten und knackigsten Crime-Babes westwärts des Mississippi zusammengestellt hat, die für sie global allerlei Verbrechen verüben!
Das gilt es natürlich zu verhindern, weswegen Lizzy Bond, die voll-lizensierte Schwester von James (kein Zweifel, die selben Gene!) zusammen mit ein paar männlichen Nullnummern auf den Fall angesetzt wird!Zwischendurch…

Trash der unterhaltsamen Sorte. Ein Film, gedreht von einem Mann, mit dem Feminismusverständnis der 70er. Da werden erst Machos von einer schlagfertigen Polizistin vermöbelt, ehe sie dann ein Techtelmechtel mit dem Oberproll eingeht. Story, Inszenierung und Dialoge sind eine Katastrophe, aber immer wieder sorgen abstruse Szenen für saftige Lacher. Wenn zum Beispiel im Hintergrund eines Gesprächs ein Tennis-Match stattfinden soll, in der gesamten Szene aber nicht ein Ball gespielt wird. Oder eine Telefonzellenszene, die von außen gefilmt wird und man zwar jemanden darin über Minuten sprechen sieht, aber nichts hört. Von den unbeholfenen Action-Szenen fang ich gar nicht erst an. Policewomen ist mies, völlig aus der Zeit gefallen und macht hinten und vorne keinen Sinn. Aber auf der Spaß-Skala geht…

Policewomen is a fun, trashy, cops-'n'-robbers drive-in exploitation flick in which spectacularly intense karate-proficient lady cop Lacy Bond, played by gorgeously redheaded Sondra Currie, and her team go undercover to infiltrate and take down an all-girl gang of gold smugglers, one of whom is played by super-cool, super-foxy Jeannie Bell, October 1969 Playboy Playmate and T.N.T. Jackson herself.
There's high-kick karate action, car and boat chases, fisticuffs and gunplay, and plenty of skin on display. Nary a scene goes by without someone wearing a bikini or less appearing onscreen. And we get to see a lot of the pubic bulge of a shorts-wearing, bicep-curling slab of beefcake.
Elizabeth Stuart plays Maude, the septuagenarian leader of the gold-smugglers, and she delivers…
