Editorial Reviews:
|
The greatest women-in-prison film ever made, Caged Heat takes the traditional sex-and-violence formula of gorgeous babes behind bars, gratuitous nudity, and degradation at the hands of beastly guards and a corrupt system, and transforms it into rebel burst of grrrl power. Jonathan Demme's directorial debut, made for Roger Corman's New World Pictures in the glory days of 1970s drive-in moviemaking, wedges his message of empowerment in between the showers and the shock treatments. Russ Meyer alumnus Erica Gavin stars with tough cookie Juanita Brown as they lead the brassy set of cellblock babes through prison breaks and bank robberies, all pulled off with smarts and sass. These women are in control and manage to keep their dignity (if not their clothes) in this fast-paced, hard-edged picture, but it's Barbara Steele who practically steals the film as the repressed warden whose dreams look like a road show version of Cabaret. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Rating:
Summary: fantastic trash blast from the past
Comment: If you were a teen(male)during the 80's then this is a film for you. Trashy dialogue, corny story line and fantastic girly fight scenes.
I'll never forget the line "My Name's Crazy Honey".........
Get this film now and enjoy it.

Summary: One of the first appearance of Desiree Cousteau
Comment:
Caged heat is a typical women-in-jail film. The story is even better than the others of the style.
I've ordered this film because it is one of the earliest appearance of Desiree Cousteau (Pretty Peaches - 1978) in a movie.

Summary: Worth watching once

Customer Rating:
Summary: you cant go wrong with guns, gams, & lotsa sweat
Comment: director jonathan demme began his career as did so many others: an apprentice of the great roger corman, learning his craft in a string of B (or less) movies. this "chicks in chains" flick was his first directorial effort, and it is loads of fun. filled with gratuitous violence and kinky sex, it is a masterpiece of its particular type of movie: an ideal way to waste 90 minutes of your life.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The best WIP movie ever
Comment: This is the best women in prison movie ever, even without Pam Greer. All of the reviewers for this film need to spend some time studying the language, learning grammer and spelling in between their DVD watching.
