    Female Super cop Contender

    Among the films that have featured female super cops (mostly Hong Kong), Sondra Currie is more believable. She's not big, but displays sufficient athleticism so as not to ruin the illusion. This low budget crime action film is passable entertainment. I actually liked it, but I enjoy the action woman genre. None of the movie was believable. After all, who would put a policewoman in such extreme danger without much backup.

    The video box cover indicates that this movie is "the most daring caper since "The French Connection". This puffing is a tad overstated, okay, a lot overstated. The cast was fairly extensive and the acting ability varied quite a lot. Don't be mistaken, most viewers will be laughing at portions of the movie. For me, I will overlook the bad and take some comfort in seeing the film and knowing that the film makers tried to make a good movie. Policewomen has largely disappeared from circulation. I gave it a 6 (from 10).

    Female martial arts cop capers

    Policewoman Lacy Bond,played by small dynamic redhead Sondra Currie,is a "supercop" assigned to take down a band of female gangsters who are up to all sorts of fiendish criminal activities.She uses(pretty basic)martial arts skills against them,and is later joined by undercover agent Pam Harris,played by Jeanie Bell,to help her take down the bad girl mob.The guys are generally pretty unimportant in this movie.Tony Young,as Lacy's boss and partner is reduced to a hapless sidekick,muttering his disapproval when he thinks she is putting herself in danger(and at one point having to be rescued by our heroine from some murderous babes who are beating him to death!).Only Phil Hoover,playing a funny and pretty vicious villain,and the great William Smith,sending himself up in a cameo as a patronizing police fight instructor,really register among the male cast.This cheap but entertaining movie contains all the elements expected from Lee Frost's "drive-in" fare,some sex and nudity,scantily clad girls,and lots of action.Fans of female fighting in movies should like the scenes where Lacy and Pam use judo and karate battling the female villains-such as tough con Janette (Laurie Rose)and Caroline (Dorrie Thomson) and her gang.

    Female Gold Smugglers

    "Lacy Bond" (Sondra Currie) is a young policewoman who is stuck in a jail-house processing female prisoners and she feels like she is going nowhere fast. Then a mass breakout occurs and she single-handedly manages to prevent all but two female prisoners from escaping. Because of her actions she is offered an extremely dangerous assignment involving a group of female gold smugglers headed by a ruthless leader by the name of "Maude" (Elizabeth Stuart). Now, rather than reveal any more of the movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a mildly entertaining low-budget film which attempted to emulate the James Bond series to a certain extent. Unfortunately, some of the characters and the script clearly needed some fine-tuning and as a result it just wasn't up to the same high standards. But Sandra Currie was definitely hot and having plenty of attractive young women in swimsuits lolling about certainly didn't hurt this movie in any way. In short, this isn't a great movie by any means but it wasn't that bad either. Accordingly, I rate this movie as about average.

    "Okay, How Did You Get Your Pretty Self Into This Position?!"...

    POLICEWOMEN opens with a semi-explosive, karate-enhanced jailbreak, led by the nefarious duo of Janette and Pam (Laurie Rose and Jeannie Bell).

    Now, uber-tough policewoman, Lacy Bond (Sondra Currie) is on the case. Thankfully, she's as good at gunplay, stunt driving, and snappy comebacks as she is with her fists. She'll need all of her skills to take on an all-female drug smuggling ring, headed by a 75 year old granny!

    Lacy's superiors have a hard time containing her unorthodox, violent methods, while many terribly-choreographed, sluggish martial arts battles ensue.

    This is another example of drive-in movie fodder, with the typically forced "street" dialogue, hit and miss acting, and haphazard story line. Still, Ms. Currie remains likeable throughout, in spite of the hilarious shambles around her. Her character's training session with Bill the karate instructor (William Smith) is one for the ages!...

    Chick gang flick

    I have always loved crime or action films starring female criminals, inmates or not. Although there were dozens of women in prison movies. This one is not, or only at the beginning, whilst a bunch of chicks escape from behind bars. Besides this, that film is a great fun, despite the fact that it is really corny, but that's why I love it. Don't watch it in the same way as you could do it with SET IT OFF, A GUN FOR JENNIFER or GIRLS ON THE LOOSE, other girl gang features, which deserve to be seen with other eyes, with a more serious manner. This is a grade B film destined to Saturday evening drive in audiences, nothing else. I would not be surprised to learn that Quentin Tarantino is a great fan for this kind of stuff, and this film in particular. It could have been a series TV pilot, but I guess the TV show starring Angie Dickinson - POLICE WOMAN - would have jeopardize this never made TV show. I laughed with the sequences showing the lead female character - the cop - wearing her suit without undergarment for her breast. We clearly see her tits through the shirt. I am surprised that no other viewer has commented about this. And useless to say that the scenes showing the headquarters of the bikini girls is unforgettable. And the old gang leader with her younger husband, a sort of pencil neck bodybuilder pumping iron...ha ha ha

    A must see for grade B cinema. But ONLY grade B cinema. Don't expect any serious stuff.

      Despite the title there are no actual Policewomen in this film. Despite being in law enforcement Pam is a Federal agent and Lacy is a Prison Guard! Neither one is technically a Policewoman! :)
    • Quotes

      Inspector Martell: What we have here is a large organized crime wave obviously committed by a well-organized gang of women.

      Lacy Bond: Like a female mafia?

      Inspector Martell: It sure looks that way. And pardon my pun, but our male undercover agents haven't been able to penetrate the gang.

      Lacy Bond: So you need a woman - pardon my pun - to go undercover.

      Pete Peterson: Or under the covers!
