This is a surprisingly good Women In Prison film apparently made in Brazil in 1984. The production values are higher than you might expect and the cinematography is surprisingly good, especially in the latter part of the movie. The festivities are helped out a lot by a lovely Brazilian beauty named Suzane Carvalho.

Suzane has a junkie brother who shoots and kills a drug pusher. She tells him to flee and she takes the rap for the murder, thinking that they'll give a woman a lesser sentence for the crime. She's thrown in the slammer with a bunch of hot-blooded Brazilian beauties that always seem to be naked. She's put in a cell with about 7 other women. One woman is the queen bee of the cell, and she's horny. So, the other women strip our innocent fish and then whip her with wet towels. Then our queen bee jumps on top of her to get a little forced intimacy.

Her injuries from the towel whipping are pretty bad, so she's sent to the infirmary. The lesbian "head matron" wants to know who did it to her, but she won't talk, so she and a guard take the fish to the showers and hose her down, trying to get her to talk. The force of the water rips her shirt open. But the fish doesn't talk and is sent back to the infirmary. Next, while still in the infirmary, three guys who were associates of the drug pusher who was killed sneak into the prison and attempt to hang her, putting a noose around her neck and hoisting her into midair. The lights are flipped on and the thugs scatter and our fish is saved from being hanged, but again, she has sustained quite a bit of injuries. Things aren't going well for this woman at all. The doctor in charge takes a special interest in the woman (who wouldn't?). He finds out that it was actually her brother who committed the murder and he tries to get the brother to confess so our fish, Angela, can be released before she's killed. But being a worthless junkie, he won't.

Meanwhile, after Angela has recuperated a bit, she is invited into the head matron's office. The head matron tells her that she can protect her if she would only show her some affection, and the matron puts the moves on her. At first Angela resists, but the next thing you know, they are in a surprisingly explicit lesbian love tryst, complete with full frontal nudity, French kissing, the works. Pretty hot stuff for these sorts of movies!

Meanwhile, Angela's brother commits suicide and leaves a note behind confessing to the murder of the drug pusher. The prison doctor and the local authorities immediately get a judge to sign papers to have Angela released from prison.

But before notification gets to the prison, it's exercise time in the prison yard and an inmate tries to stab Angela in the back, but the biggest meanest inmate, who happens to like Angela, prevents it. She then takes the knife and stabs the attacker. What happens next is something I haven't seen in a prison yard fight before. As the guards pile into the yard and tell the women to drop the knife, she beheads the attacker and flips her head toward a guard! Now there's an all out women's prison riot and Angela and a small group of women escape over a wall with guns they stole from guards that were wounded or killed in the riot. She doesn't know that she'd be released from prison if she just stuck around a bit.

Now we're full on into a jungle adventure. A huge group of guards and dogs are on their trails trying to catch up to them. The women can't get along too well, and have numerous catfights with each other. Some are attacked by killer snakes. Angela gets sick of all of the infighting and strikes out on her own. The guards catch up to the women, but the women fight them off.

Eventually, some local guys find the three women who have survived thus far, capture them, and tie them up. They are going to turn them over to the authorities for the reward money, but not before they try to rape the women. Fortunately for the women, Angela shows up with her gun and all of the would be rapists are killed by the women. One woman is killed in this mess, so there are three women left, including Angela, and they make their way out of the jungle and steal a truck. They're going to make it across the border. But there's a really big, mean guy sleeping in the back of the truck. He secretly lets the gas out of the gas tank, and when the trucks comes to a stop, he bashes in the front window of the truck with a big crowbar, but one of the women blows him away. To make a long story short, they make their way on foot to a church with children in it, and a huge number of guards surrounding the church. Again, the women are fighting, and one of them tries to kill Angela, but the doctor shows up and prevents it and kills the woman. Now there's two women left. The two women and the doctor make their way out a back entrance, but the guards open fire. The one woman gets to a car and then drives the car into the group of guards, hitting a truck, which causing a big explosion, which kills all of the guards. Our doctor and our lovely Angela are the only ones left standing and they are now free to go off and start a wonderful new life together.

In general, I like 70s exploitation action movies, and this is a good one. Never a dull moment. The dubbing is good. The women are generally good looking. There's gobs of nudity, including full frontal, lesbianism, including a surprisingly explicit scene with the lesbian head "matron", whippings, catfights on land, catfights in water, gun battles, a hosing down scene (provided by a tank that shoots water at the women during the big riot) a big riot, and of course, a beheading. Well, hell, what more do you want? Cirio H. Santiago, eat your heart out. I'll have to rate this movie a 4, because it's not only a good WIP movie, it's also a good action movie

WOMEN IN FURY is simply one of the best (if not the best) women in prison flicks I have seen. WOMEN IN FURY offers the standard fare we look for in WIP flicks: sadism, lesbian scenes, interrogation by firehose, prison riot, escape, and good doses of nudity. WOMEN IN FURY ups the ante by adding a good story to the mix and maintaining a well paced build-up in the first half that appropriately turns into an action movie in the second half. WOMEN IN FURY is the story of Angela Duvall who is imprisoned for the murder of a drug dealer. A wet towel beating and rape by her cellmates lands her in the infirmary where the prison doctor comes to believe she is innocent of the crime. While the doctor butts heads with the prison captain and investigates the circumstances of the shooting of the drug dealer, a conspiracy is at hand to kill Angela. One of these attempts sets this movie into high gear. WOMEN IN FURY is a Brazilian movie with excellent production values only slightly marred by an occasional bad dub or cheap effect. WOMEN IN FURY succeeds at delivering a good story, maintaining a crisp pace, and delivers a healthy amount of what is expected from a WIP flick.--Bob

If you like over-the-top WIP flicks, you might wanna check this one out. It's loaded with all the things that WIP flicks should have: violence, catfights, exploitation of women, lesbianism, and gobs of nudity. In this particular flick, the plot is actually pretty decent, too.

At first,I did not know what to expect from an imported film.The beginning starts with a lawyer arriving in Venezuela and a little kid escorts him to the doctor's house.The doctor then launches into the story of a young woman named Anglea Duvall,who is framed for murder and thrown into a womens prison for 18 years.After a while,however,Anglea discovers prison wont be as easy as she thinks.In the space of three days,she is beaten,hanged,and put through a series of painful initiations.The head matron,a kind and wonderful woman,tries to win Angela's affections,being a lesbian.Angela,however,will not talk.There,she befriends a kind woman named Denise,who promises to look after her,because she is weak.However,the head honcho,Captain Bonofascio,tries as hard as he can to make sure angela suffers at the prison.It isnt long before the women's fury is unleashed and they stage a full scale revolt,escaping the prison and into the Brazillian jungle.Along with the great lesbian scenes,at which its worth every penny,I would recommend this movie to all you women's prison film fans

I confess, I am a huge fan of WIP (Women in Prison) movies. Is it the sweaty stains that reveal pert nipples on their jailhouse duds? The fact that no matter how degraded or disgusting their surroundings, these gals still wear make up fit for a Cosmo shoot? Is it the repressed lesbian lusts of the guards and the warden? Or is it all these things, stirred to boil, and strained to make a fine tea of sex and violence (and naked showering)? This film does the genre proud, replete with lesbo warden, lesbo bitch rapist, running around the jungle bare foot, and sleazy straight sex. I mean, whaddya expecting here, War and Peace?

It's a safe bet that those of you who are thinking about renting/buying/viewing this film - and many if not most of you who are reading this revgiew - are probably fans of or interested in the "Women in Prison" (WIP) category in the sub-genre exploitation cinema. Although I was planning to give a brief summary of the plot, I stopped to wonder what (if any) difference it would make. The plots of these films are not only utterly similar, but nigh indistinguishable from each other, and what disctinctions (if any) they may have amongst themselves/with each other are rather minor details not particularly significant. Rather, it is the common theme elements they all share that make them worth watching: copious female nudity, lesbian encounters, shower scenes, cartoonish characters, absurd dialogue and/or dubbing - but mostly just the nude women and lesbian content.

There was a time when this film, WOMEN IN FURY, did stand out because its content was considered more explicit and excessive even among the other films of the (sub)genre. Although the film istelf contained a lot of compelling tawdriness, unfortunately the version of the movie from NETFLIX is edited and bland. Not much nudity, and barely any lesbian content. What was a masterpiece of sexy WIP trash has in some cases been diluted until it isn't even a blip on the Cinemax radar. Nice going, NETFLIX (you douchebags). So if you buy this film, make sure it's not a denuded (pun not intended but useful) copy.

OK, maybe I liked the film because I didn't expect much but it was actually very intertaining to watch. And as the title for my review says,..the scene with the head matron was actually very hot which I didn't expect. If you can buy the movie for under $10 it is worth it.

So what do we have here in this women in prison flick, a "true story that happened to real people"? To start with, no decent entry scene for the pretty heroine, who is imprisoned unjustly or something, I didn't have the sound up. But after too much plot, there is a very good wet towel whip scene to introduce her to the inmates, followed by some minimal afro lez. A doctor's office scene is wasted, no exam, and he's male, so no doc lez. Much more plot, and we finally get a hosing down scene with leering guards, but only topless. More plot, and there's actually a hanging scene, somewhat rare in these things, but it's too short and fully dressed. Finally after way too much plot get we some decent warden/guard lez, a refusal, and then some threatened baton abuse that gets warm but turns into a more extensive lez out, pretty decent, R rated but full frontal. Then there's partially nude catfighting and some prisoner lez that nevers gets started, and you can turn it off right there, the rest is plot.

Well, what can you say about a WIP film that includes NO SHOWER SCENE?? Unforgivable. Franco got away with that once, but then his WIP movie was almost totally topless, which made up for it. And no whipping either, aside from the towel. I don't know, two sleaze scene stars I suppose, one for the towel scene (can you imagine why that didn't happen in the shower room?), 1/2 for the asphyx scene, maybe a 1/2 for the nudity, but the NTRL factor is pretty low. Too bad, some of the prisoners were kinda cute.

People please tell me how can you have a womens in prison movie without a show all shower scene? The movie is great and is based on a true story of a women put in a Brazilian prison for the wrong reason. Gratuitous meaningless nudity especially the part they whip the leading actress with wet bath towels... Great movie but no shower scene?

Ok there are a couple of good scenes here but not worth buying - trust me I did and I regret it!The towel scene is very good and so is the lesbo scene with the warden but way to much story line!
