In just a year’s time WIP flicks were all over the screens, so Hill opted to spoof his hit by juicing its script with more overt comedy. A high-class American nookie girl, who’s made a point of diddling most of this back-water country’s honchos, runs on hard times when she’s kidnapped by a wildman revolutionary (Sid Haig) and his trigger-happy girlfriend (Pam Grier). When they manage to elude the federalies, she’s somehow implicated as a conspirator and winds up doing time at an all-female work camp run by homosexual men. Don’t get the idea this is all giggles. Gals routinely get themselves tangled up in the gears of a towering sugar mill known as, you guessed it, the Big Bird Cage. Now, if anyone gets REALLY out of line, they get strung up by their HAIR and left to roast in the sun all day. Not nearly as much fun as being forced to plant rice, harvest coconuts and cut sugar cane while wearing skimpy getups that barely cover their no-no zones. Back at Revolution Central, the fellas decide they’re not so keen on birthing a new ruling generation with their own women folk, so they come up with the brainstorm of stealing new brides AND sticking it to the man by liberating the prison. Pam works from the inside by mud rasslin’ an uppity white bitch and replacing her as camp honchette. While Sid goes REALLY light in the boots to distract the ordinarily fussy guards. CineSchlockers will be interested that Jack’s pop designed the forbidding Big Bird Cage as well as Cinderella’s castle for Disney.

So does Sid, "KILL AND BURN, GIRLS! KILL AND BURN!!!"
