Empire pictures, one of the giants in the sleazy exploitation film industry, reverts here to the age-old practice of buying up the rights to a bad foreign film and then inserting new footage with a "bankable" American star for added marquee value. In this case the dubious talents of Linda Blair were called upon, and she is on-screen for less than 10 minutes. The film sees Daly (Blair), a former inmate of a brutal South American labor camp that forces women to work in a jewel mine, enacting her revenge on the rich businessman (Leon Askin) who sells the gems that the women mine. Having traced the man to the US, Daly poses as a client. When alone with him in the man's office, she produces an Uzi submachine gun and forces the villain to sit as she describes the horror of the labor camp. The film then shifts to footage from the Italian-Spanish film ORINOCO--PRISON OF SEX, which sees two women prisoners (Christina Lai, Ajita Wilson) suffer a number of degradations at the hands of their male captors. Empire planned to release this cut-and-paste job on videotape only, but at the last minute it was decided that the combination of nudity, violence, and bad dubbing was marketable enough to show in theaters. leave a comment
