Vítimas do Destino

Pay television has the best late night films an insomniac could want. Prison Heat has all the elements of the other _ _ _ _ _ heat films; you have a little T and A, a shower scene, an imposing lesbian who rules the cell block, a trip to solitary confinement, a male/female warden who desires one or all of the new chicks, and a rape scene, usually by one of the aforementioned parties.

This one was surprisingly amusing. The acting was ... dare I say it, decent, on some level. If you've seen one of these babes behind bars movies, however, you've seen them all, and the only true change in store is a different set of bodies.

I found a little of their situations a bit too unbelievable, especially some of the things Colleen had learned at her vet, had seen at her.....you get the idea. This one actually tried to stick with the story line more than others. I said story line, not plot, the movie isn't that deep. The T and A was minimal, and I didn't really miss it. As far as this genre goes, this is one of the better movies, but it's no Citizen Kane and still not as enjoyable as Reform School Girls. 5 out of 10

Yes, it's true. This movie is quite possibly one of the biggest wastes of film in existence. However, hit that mute button, pop in the tape, and get close to that special someone (well, this won't work too good if you happen to be gay, sorry Mikey!) and you've got yourself a night of passion. Trust me. It works. And for this perk, I will give it a 2.

Even for an example of exploitation, movie has some bad acting and dumb plot. Sad thing is, something like this could have worked as a decent thriller, yet we get this weird mix of everything. In some scenes movie is very serious, dealing with themes such as rape, people smuggling, prostitution and suicide, while in others it feels like a light and dumb comedy. There is also a lot of nudity, and beautiful one at that, but then you start to ask yourself is that worth it, when you could easily type some words in your search engine and be done with it in 10 minutes. What is worth it, as one reviewer here said, is the escape scene at the end of the movie, which should be seen to be believed. I don't think movie is so bad you can't watch it, but I really can't find any reason for you to watch it, other than over the top ending and some nice nudity (if stuff like this grinds your gears) , because movie isn't very fun and makes you feel the burden of it's boredom. 5/10! I don't recommend it.

Four sweet and innocent American co- eds - led by a beautiful and gutsy brunette (Rebecca Chambers) - end in the sleazy Israeli cooler. The especially sweet and innocent blonde (Playboy model Lori Jo Hendrix) attracts perverts with her exotic tresses and ample bosom. However, these four are loyal to each others and so brimming in the golden-hearted goodness , that I ended to care what happens to such nice girls in such a nasty place.

Soft core version of Prison Break? The cover girl looked a bit like Sarah Wayne Callies, but sadly, it was the grizzly-haired Lori Jo Hendrix, who apparently didn't like how she looked in this film and if so, I agree - but then I am not a man!

With a climax escape scene rivaling the frightfully awful belly laughs of Plan 9 From Outer Space, Prison Heat boasts a bevy of bimbos behind bars enduring a host of midnight male abuse from the usual suspects.

If one isn't careful to pay close attention to what would seem was just another excuse to drop drawers in the wee B-hours, one could miss the genius behind this stupendous assault on cinema.

Clad in mini-skirts and body stockings for their stretch in a Turkish cooler, a quartet of framed females sidestep lesbian lovers and Curly Joe prison guards with an arsenal of lame escape tactics that would put the Lucy Show to shame in the just-crazy-enough-to-work department.

The four foxy heroes play it painfully straight in contrast to their cartoonish stereotype-on-steroids foes.

(As Prison Heat can be enjoyed many times over for connoisseurs of bad film, those who have yet to see the film might not want to read the following as some key elements are revealed.)

The whimsical writing flip flops the characters from 'fraidy cats to vicious vixens without missing a beat of nutcase rhythm. At first, the girls seem skittish to actually hurt anybody. Rather than shooting anyone with their purloined pistol, they dump sleeping pills down the gurgling gullets of guards and others in their way.

But the kid gloves come way off when they whittle down the sadistic warden by conking his cranium with everything from crash cymbals to the kitchen sink -- before castrating him with a penknife (!) and making a run for an unattended rental car.

And what prison escape epic would be complete without breaking into a melancholy sing along of `Oh Susannah?'

The quirky, weird-o-rama dynamics of Prison Heat are guaranteed fun for lovers of scatterbrained B-hits.
