Nel cuore della foresta Amazzonica, uno scienziato tedesco, insieme ad un gruppo di irriducibili nazisti sfuggiti alla cattura, sogna di restaurare la grandezza del Terzo Reich tentando di creare un esercito di superuomini mediante crudeli esperimenti biogenetici condotti su alcuni indios scelti come inconsapevoli cavie. Ma sulle tracce dello scienziato sono un avventuriero in cerca di una favolosa città perduta, un suo ex collega passato dalla parte dell'Occidente, una donna che lo ha visto uccidere il padre durante la guerra e un fisico al quale hanno rapito la figlia giunta sul posto per studiare le cause di una misteriosa epidemia che sta facendo strage tra le popolazioni indigene.
Ispirato ad un romanzo del prolifico Alistair McLean (autore, tra gli altri, del celebre "I cannoni di Navarone"), il film mescola in maniera confusa azione, fantapolitica e fantamedicina sfiorando appena il filone inaugurato da I ragazzi venuti dal Brasile e mostrando, al più, qualche vaga somiglianza con Hell Hunters. La sceneggiatura è approssimativa e gli interpreti - alcuni dei quali di sicuro talento - appaiono tutti un po' fuori parte, a cominciare dal poco espressivo Michael Dudikoff, la cui unica preoccupazione sembra quella di somigliare al Mel Gibson dei film di avventura, per finire a Vaughn e Pleasence visibilmente sacrificati in ruoli caricaturali.

Dirt-poor depression-era mother Wilma (Angie Dickinson) vows to put her life of poverty behind her. With her two daughters Billiy Jean (Susan Sennett) and Polly (Robbie Lee) she strikes out for California and stumbles into a life of crime. The trio run a number of scams before taking up bank-robbing alongside Fred Diller (Tom Skerritt) and moving on to gambling rackets with gutless huckster William Baxter (William Shatner). It’s all high adventure and fun and games until the inevitable comedown. “Big Bad Mama” is a great piece of trashy, mid-‘70s drive-in exploitation care of producer Roger Corman’s New World Pictures. Corman and his scriptwriters (William Nolan and Frances Doel) anti-establishment, counter-cultural credentials are to the fore in the targets chosen by Wilma: the conman preacher; conniving bankers; the American Legion; an oil firm and finally an upper-class gathering. The film also works as something of a parody of dustbowl gangster flicks, but these nuances are never left to linger as Wilma and her daughters have too many banks to rob, too many towns to shoot up and to many cop cars to run off the road. The dialogue is sparse and snappy and director Steve Carver keeps the action zippy and fun. The cast are great particularly Angie Dickinson who is powerful (and gorgeous) as the tommy gun totting mother determined that her daughters won’t grow up to a life of grinding poverty. Susan Sennett, Robbie Lee, Tom Skerritt and William Shatner all do fine but pale against the bright light of Dickinson. Dick Miller and Royal Dano are also in the cast, bringing their own idiosyncratic stylings. “Big Bad Mama” is wildly entertaining throughout, it’s trashy, campy, fast-paced and silly and full of sexy exploitation goodness.… (meer)

A strange mash-up of a film that is part WIP shocker and part peplum epic; part traditional American exploitation and part Italian sleaze show. The story by John and Joyce Corrington opens with Roman legionaries stealing women from across the empire and hauling them off into servitude. Included amongst the kidnapped is the statuesque Nubian Mamawi (Pam Grier) and blonde druid princess Bodicia (Margaret Markov). They are set to work as slaves undertaking menial tasks around the arena and servicing the gladiators. It isn’t long, however, before Mamawi and Bodicia find themselves fighting for survival in the arena. This American / Italian collaboration is great stupid fun. It is full of executive producer Roger Corman’s WIP trademarks (feminist overtones but with added shower scenes and catfights) while director of photography (and reputed director of the peplum sequences) Joe D’Amato (Aristide Massaccesi) brings plenty of Italian nudity, sleaze and a breezy approach to logic. The behind the camera crew is impressive: director Steve Carver; producer Mark Damon; editor Joe Dante; DP as mentioned Joe D’Amato and a score by Francesco De Masi. In front of the camera it’s even more impressive – Pam Grier is in great feisty, buxom form and her “Black Mama White Mama” partner Margaret Markov is equally tough and sexy. Helping them out are great turns from Lucretia Love, Rosalba Neri and Paul Muller. “The Arena” is utterly ridiculous with a ludicrous plot and any number of unbelievable sequences, but none of that particularly distracts from the over-the-top violence, the gratuitous nudity and the feisty, kick-ass turns from the leading ladies.… (meer)
