Filipino exploitation virtuoso Eddie Romero threw together a guerrilla army, a tin-pot republic, a roving gang of cowboys, and one nasty-tempered pimp for this standout B-movie.

When two troublemaking female prisoners — one a revolutionary, the other a former harem-girl — can't seem to get along, they are chained together and extradited for safekeeping. The women, still chained together, stumble, stab, and cat-fight their way across the wilderness, igniting a bloody shootout between gangsters and a group of revolutionaries.

What are critics saying?
75
Slant Magazine by Clayton Dillard
Black Mama, White Mama became a key reference point for postmodern mash-up artists like Quentin Tarantino and Neveldine/Taylor, but the film’s socio-political jungle is not all fun-and-grindhouse games.

The A.V. Club by Katie Rife
Black Mama, White Mama is a cheerfully sleazy romp made with the easily distractible drive-in audience in mind.
TV Guide Magazine
Vile exploitation picture shot cheaply in the Philippines.
