Cirio Santiago wrote and directed this odd but very entertaining film about a couple of female pirates, played by Jeannie Bell and Rosanne Katon, who go undercover into a brutal coffee plantation slave camp to find Bell's sister.
The conditions are bad and anyone who tries to escape is tortured and killed. Bell plays Kelly, the leader of the pirates and Katon is Anggie. Both women are put thru hell and find the plantation harder to escape than they thought.
The tall and incredibly sexy Jayne Kennedy shows up as Serena, a woman who is nothing more than a playtoy for the man who runs the plantation, Montiero. After much abuse she helps Kelly, Anggie and another woman named Marcie escape.
The four women fight thru typical Philippine jungles where they encounter a snake that bites Marcie. The plantation guards and Montiero are closing in on the women when they happen on Kelly and Anggie's crew of pirates and a heated gun battle ensues. The climax is full of action as one would expect in a film like this.
This is a standard WIP film, and although the fight scenes aren't always well done, it is a good film to kill time with. Kennedy looks fantastic as always, and I didn't like that her character is killed. Jeannie bell and Rosanne Katon are prefect in their roles as the pirates who put up with no crap from anyone.
Vinegar Syndrome has this film looking as good as I have ever seen it, and they should be commended for bringing this lesser known film from the Philippines back into the light for all to see again.
