Trivia
Pam Grier told The Rolling Stone she chose to be nude in many of her early films because she wanted to push the limits of how Black women were perceived in the acting world. She said, "I call it the 'Brown Nipple Revolution.' We weren't the epitome of sexual attraction for the male audience, in movies, magazines, anything. We were told our brown nipples weren't attractive. I was trying to break that line of what was acceptable in society."

Goofs
In the last shot before the end credits start to roll, one of the dead men lying on the ground opens his hand.

Quotes
Warden Logan: Keep it up and you could go blind.
Matron Densmore: Piss off!

Alternate versions
The film was heavily cut for its original UK theatrical release (as "Hot, Hard and Mean"). Video releases used the original "Black Mama, White Mama" title and were cut by 53 secs with edits to the rape of Brent and the torture scene. These cuts were fully waived for the 2003 MGM DVD.

7/10

great sexploitation film of the 70s

If you like early 70's sexploitation films,woman in prison,cat fight,or are a fan of Pam Grier then this movie is worth a watch

good action,plenty of nude women,and cat fights,

although this movie is very bad acted and cheesey,

Its not boring and not sooooo dumb that you cant watch it. The action is smooth and not hard to follow with a major gun fight climax. overall 7 out of 10 ..
