This movie essentially begins with a shower scene--which is almost obligatory for women-in-prison (WIP) films—that quickly escalates into an all-female brawl. However, upon being taken to the warden they discover that their infraction of the rules has in no way jeopardized their weekend furlough which is typically granted to inmates who have only a few months remaining on their sentence.
Prison Girls (1972) *** (out of 4) Obviously influenced by the success of films like THE STUDENT NURSES, this rather sleazy exploitation picture has six females getting a weekend furlong out of prison so that they can reconnect with their outside lives before getting released for good in a couple months. For the male viewer's pleasure, all of the women in end in countless sex scenes.
Even worse than we expected it to be, we fast-forwarded almost every bit of every scene, laughing uncomfortably or grimacing in between. This poorly strewn film is the reason the 1970s has such a trashy, UN-sexy place in history, cinematic & otherwise.
Contrary to dominant standards, I and a millions of other men do enjoy, ahem, "natural" looking women in skin flicks. It is rather stimulating when today's generic models and actresses are so plucked, waxed, and buffed they look like store mannequins.
This movie is about 5 girls that are given two days apiece outside in a prison furlough program and their various adventures or misadventures during their individual free time.
I actually like cheesy drive-in sleaze, and I love 3D, so this fits the bill nicely. Yes, it was originally filmed in 3D and I have a really bad 3D copy, but still it's not bad considering that the genre is not represented in 3D elsewhere.
Yet another poor excuse for sloppy 1970's hippies to get nekked and simulate fornication. My eyes still hurt from the 3D "effects" (I've seen better in a Three Stooges short).
