Big Bird Cage
1973 Pam Grier
A posh gambling parlor on a tropical island republic is the scene of a holdup by bandit-revolutionary Django (SID HAIG) and his buxom, gun-toting Blossom (PAM GRIER). As part of his booty Django grabs the luscious actress Terry Rich (ANITRA FORD), whose easy conquests of big politicians is the latest scandal. Once left to the authorities, Terry is banished to the grim life of a women's prison labor camp. The captive females work in rice paddies and sugar cane fields, their ragged shifts giving minimum protection against the grueling sun. All their natural desires are stifled and censured; even the male guards are homosexuals, to deprive the young women of temptation. The depraved Warden punishes sexual offenders and other troublemakers by forcing them to work on the Big Bird Cage, a giant bamboo sugar mill whose huge grinding gears and choppers add terror to the atmosphere already heavy with tension. Terry arrives determined to be freed very soon, but she meets skepticism and hostility from her peers, pretty blonde Carla (CAN-DICE ROMAN)

and clownish Bull Jones (TEDA BRACCI). Terry learns fast, though, and is able to have her friend Rina, a lovely native girl, released from the Madhouse, a filthy cage of writhing, almost subhuman females. Together they attend a party for visiting politicians-really an orgy, where the mass of naked men and women drive Rina into a fury of destruction. The Warden, incensed, increases work loads and drives the women mercilessly until, bloodied, they drop from exhaustion. Terry attempts escape, but her near-naked presence in a little river town provokes the local men into a ghastly gang rape. She is tracked by the vicious prison dogs and captured, then to be hung by the hair as an example to the other defiant women. The prisoners are diverted by the arrival of Blossom. Tough as well as lusty, Blossom immediately proves her leadership in a round of fights. Against a background of deep valleys terraced with rice paddies, Blossom leads her forces against those of Bull Jones, and soon dozens of bodies are wrestling in the mud. Blossom is victorious. When Django also turns up, posing comically as a homosexual guard, Terry is suspicious. Blossom confesses their plan to overthrow the prison and gains Terry's support. But trouble starts . . . .
