3.0 out of 5 stars
The First is the Sleaziest, July 17, 2000
This review is from: Ginger [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The first in a trilogy of films starring Cheri Cafarro (the winner of a Bridget Bardot look-alike contest) as Ginger MacAllister, "the female James Bond". Ginger, although she has no training in things like law enforcement or detective work, is recruited by an agency to take down a small time blackmail and drug ring in New Jersey. Copious nudity and badly-staged violence probably made this one a big hit at the drive-ins. The other two films, "The Abductors" and "Girls Are For Loving" had bigger budgets, and ALL rate VERY low on the Political Correctness scale. Your enjoyment will be directly related to your taste for sleazery.

Fast-forward to the bondage scenes., March 17, 2005
This review is from: Ginger [VHS] (VHS Tape)
"Ginger" is an astoundingly bad film. You will be stunned by how incredibly bad it is. Seriously. It makes "Reefer Madness" look like an art film. On the plus side, "Ginger" and it's sequel "The Abductors" have more bondage and gratuitous nudity than any other "mainstream" movie I've ever seen, with the exception of "Barbarella." If you happen to be a twisted, drooling, cackling, sicko pervert (*waving*) that counts for a lot!! I first saw these two films as a double-feature at a drive-in thirty years ago. They were *not* designed for porno theaters, but they pushed the limits of soft-core bondage films as far as they ever got pushed.

The female Bond? But darker., May 14, 2008
"Ginger" is a spy movie with lots of sex, drugs and scandal. Sorry, no alcohol. People are raped, killed, castrated and have lots of sex. Heck, why not? Ginger, our heroine, was raised as an upper-middle class girl turned a spy. She infiltrates a group that deals in drugs, sex and blackmail. The acting was bad, but, what were you expecting?! Bad but, you know, so bad it's good. But, honestly, the group leader, did he have to exist?! Rex, the leader of the group looks like a cult leader into S&M and HORRIBLE at acting. And I mean, horrible. He is probably one of the worst actors ever. Ever! The movie was entertaining nevertheless, and the fight scenes were laughable. Honestly, I can take Ginger with my hand tied behind my back! And somehow, she *almost* always won. The fight scenes were really badly choreographed and downright silly. In conclusion, this 70s movie was funny. Can anyone be that uncoordinated while dancing? Honestly, that was not sexy. Sorry guys, that was NOT sexy. But, the film was somewhat entertaining.
