What makes it different from others?

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

The first must-see film of the year.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

70s Euro-sleaze movie, Jailbirds, features loads of nekkidness, a good deal of perversity, and a little violence, making it a reasonable way to while away the time if you're into exploitation flicks.This sexy slice of shock cinema sees four tough female prison escapees hijack a bus-load of nubile tennis players (along with the driver and tennis coach) and hold them hostage in a large country villa, owned by a judge. The four fugitives spend their time harassing the judge and sexually abusing the prisoners (one of the crims is a full-on lezza, whilst another is a nympho who has her eye on the 'hunky' bus driver), until the inevitable showdown with the police interrupts their partying.Jailbirds doesn't hold back on the T&A (with practically everyone getting their kit off to some degree) and features several raunchy sex scenes. Even the seemingly upright judge throws caution to the wind and, in one particularly unbelievable moment, rapes the (admittedly rather tasty) leader of the lawbreakers to teach her a lesson.The story is no classic, and the movie is unlikely to blow you away with its technical merits or Oscar-worthy acting, but fans of movie trash should still have a fairly fun time with this deplorable (in a good way) little treat.

With the undertitle "a story of sex and violence", this Last House on the Left-type exploitationer doesn't excuse itself. A very cheap production with unknown actors (lots of women in hotpants and disco dues and men with greasy moustaches and tight blue jeans... Zora Zerova was the only actor I recognized) and dull photography in brown, grey and orange color schemes. The story is about a couple of female convicts, a leftwing political terrorist and her jaded band of robbers, whores and dykes, who've escape from prison and hide out at a luxurious mansion where they hold a judge and a female basketball team hostage. The schtick being, of course, that its the females that bring the terror and havoc this time around! Highlights include female-on-female rape, the gals forcing the judge to pee his pants, forced dogfood-eating and of course lots of nasty, hateful dialogue! Not the strongest or best in its genre, but I liked it, these nasty Italian disco era exploitation flicks are always enjoyable at worst (and from all the wrong reasons).

A dangerous quartet of vicious female criminals -- ruthless Communist terrorist Monica, predatory aggressive lesbian Diana, dumpy cow Betty and insatiable nympho slut Erica -- break out of jail and hijack a school bus full of lovely young teenage girl tennis players. The ferocious foursome seek refuge in the swanky house of a powerful judge. Naturally, things go from already pretty bad to much, much worse. Director Conrad Buegnel really pours on the succulent scintillating sleaze with commendable glee and gusto: we've got rape (Erica has her wanton way with the hunky bus driver!), lesbianism, voyeurism, gratuitous nudity, catfights, verbal harassment and degradation galore, all served up hot'n'nasty in a tight and snappy 75 minute running time. Moreover, such delectable damsels as Lilli ("To Be Twenty") Carati, Ines ("Eyeball") Pellegrini, Marina ("SS Extermination Camp") Daunia, Dirce ("Porno Holocaust") Funari, Ada ("French Sex Murders") Pometti, and Zora ("Cannibal Ferox") Kerova all dutifully doff their duds and bare their beautiful bodies in the name of blithely low-grade and unapologetic down'n'dirty exploitation. Pippo Caruso's funky, hard-grooving, pulsating rock score, an incredibly crappy'n'sappy insipid pop theme song, Nino Celeste's grotty photography, a tense last reel siege situation between the cops and the convicts, the laughably lousy dubbing, a pleasingly downbeat ending and the excessively coarse dialogue further enhance the infectiously scummy and sordid fun. Only a clunky political subtext that's articulated in a few heavy-handed speeches by Monica to the judge detracts a bit from the slimy merriment, but that minor fault aside this baby overall rates as a perfectly putrid piece of utter grindhouse trash.

JAILBIRDS is a movie whose storyline is appealing for sick fans like me : 4 women who just broke out of prison get a lift from a bus full of young and innocent female tennis players. They take hostages and bring them all into a judge's house. Then the fun begins.Beautifully photographed, but badly written and poorly acted, this "carceral drama" mixes a political content with some gratuitous sex and rape scenes. We get to see every actress undress and I wouldn't complain if it wasn't so softcore...The music, as I recall, is hilarious, and the ending is not really surprising. Well, this one's not bad but it is just another of those numerous 70's plotless softcore sleaze numbers... For lovers only.ATTENTION : In Canada, the movie is released under the title WOMEN AGAINST WOMEN as well as under the title VIOLEZ LES OTAGES! - and I know that cuz I've been ripped off, I bought both...
