Lee (Pam Grier, "Coffy"), a tough prostitute and Karen (Margaret Markov, "Pretty Maids All In A Row"), a revolutionary, are admitted to a tough women’s prison where almost immediately they clash. Packed off to a maximum security prison, their transport is ambushed by Karen’s guerrilla friends and the two escape into the Filipino jungle. Chained together and with differing escape plans, their clash intensifies as Lee wants to retrieve a stash of stolen cash to get her off the island and Karen wants to re-join her revolutionary group. Escape isn’t easy as they come up against a series of obstacles including a corrupt cop, a bounty hunter, a sadistic Drug Lord and guerrillas who threaten to turn everything upside down. Chock full of girl fights, gun battles and humor, "Black Mama, White Mama," features a brilliant Sid Haig ("Savage Sisters") as a cowboy bounty hunter and Lynn Borden ("Frogs") as a lesbian guard from a script co-written by Jonathan Demme ("Caged Heat").
