Grindhouse
Black Mama, White Mama
Chicks in chains… on the lam from a prison hell – manacled together by hate and the strange ideas a woman gets after 1000 nights without a man. Two female prisoners shackled together must form an uneasy alliance during a prison break and the army, criminals, and revolutionaries are all on the hunt for them. Pam Grier and Margaret Markov star in a seedy grindhouse riff on The Defiant Ones, released by American International Pictures, filmed in the Philippines, and directed by Eddie Romero from a story by Joe Viola and Jonathan Demme!
