The Boxer’s Omen director Kuei Chih-Hung steers the Shaw Brothers’ ultra-sleazy The Bamboo House of Dolls into decidedly Roger Corman-esque Women in Prison territory with catfights, beatings, lesbian wardens, escape attempts and gratuitous nudity in a Japanese POW camp during WWII. Starring martial arts legend Lo Lieh and nubile Scandinavian sex kitten Birte Tove!
“Bamboo House of Dolls is quite action packed with shootouts, car chases, half-naked kung fu girls fighting Japanese soldiers, slow motion stunts, heroic self-sacrifices and a treasure hunt through a spooky cave full ofcobwebs and poisonous spiders.” – Andrew Pragasam, The Spinning Image
