In this exploitative women's prison drama, the "birds" in "the big bird cage" are, clearly, women. With the help of an outside revolutionary, the girls of at a rural prison stage an escape attempt. Th... read more

It's bad taste exploitation all the way with the follow up (although unrelated) to Big Doll House. I can't say I liked it as much though, Pam Grier and Sig Haig as revolutionaries (without a cause) are good fun, and I quite liked Haig camping it up as a gay guard but there isn't ... read more
Roger Corman and Jack Hill knock it out of the park again (to be honest, that combination is the only one that seems to work for me in the "women in prison" genre). The Big Bird Cage, like its predecessors, isn't perfect but damn is it entertaining. In this one you've got Pam Gri... read more
"Aw, you can't rape me - I like sex."
Ridiculous to the extreme as a pitiful band of revolutionaries attempt to liberate a women's work camp which goes so horribly wrong it makes The Great Escape look like a resounding success. As for the women, no matter your typ... read more
Awesome Women in Prison flick from Jack Hill, brought to you by Roger Corman. Stars the lovely Pam Grier, Sid Haig and Anitra Ford (who some of you might recognize from Messiah of Evil.) Basically just a damn good time. Involves a revolutionary group in an unnamed South American ... read more
Roger Corman + Jack Hill x Women in Prison = an incredible piece of celluloid magic.
Yah, it's misogynist, violent and offensive, but not with a tongue firmly lodged in it's cheek. It's so camp it's at risk of being slashed.
If that's not enough then how about a dose of Pam Grie... read more
Jack Hill shot this as a spoof of the genre, though it is every bit as cruel as others have been. The truly off-putting thing for me was seeing Pam Grier and Sid Haig as lovers, which just a jump that my mind kinda refused to accept.

I like just about everything Robin William is in, and this is a great vehicle for his comedic talents.
Pam Grier, Sid Haig in a Roger Corman production? Yes thats right and to top it off its a women in cages flick which makes this movie even more note worthy. Something to write home about folks, classic!
Women in Prison fare made watchable by Pam Grier's scenery chewing and Sid Haig's mincing about while he poses as a gay prison guard. And let us not forget all the breasts. Full Review
Always fun! Anything with big mean Pam Grier!
