Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
看了一点，拉丁裔家庭，没啥意思，男主看着不顺眼
剧情很轻松，看完感觉很喜悦，结局没有落入俗套。想起另一部电影《诺丁山》。维文是蛮漂亮的，但多余的面部表情让人出戏，仿佛回到《辣手保姆》和《大骚乱》中，还真怀念她大杀四方的样子。
算不算为拉丁裔代言的政治正确呢？！美女与野兽的现代版？
故事节奏很快，没有什么重点，但这就是重点——所有的人和事都不过是岁月之河里的匆匆过客。比起伟大，时间又算得了什么呢。
两个小时怎能说完梅姐短暂却精彩的一生，她是伟大的香港女儿。电影拍的很真诚，王丹妮也不错，我们一起经历过的那些岁月和故事，怀念感动到眼湿湿。@万裕淮海
结尾爆哭。但越是这样，越觉得您要致敬还不如好好做个纪录片呢。
中规中矩，女主曾经多漂亮啊，现在胶原蛋白全没了。
突然觉得有些似曾相识，想起了《诺丁山》，同样的成人童话
明摆的戏，但能看到津津有味～太对草根胃口了，所有逆袭元素都沾边儿，台词轻松又俏皮，唱曲美式民族大团结的主旋律。
女演员已经非常用力传神地尽力了，但电影选取的叙事还是有点过于流水化，不及本人传奇的绝代风华的万一。
梅姐的一生值得赞扬和铭记，除了音乐和影视造诣，更多的是她对于慈善事业的贡献，以及永远在给予的侠义品格
有些细节是OK的，很多剧情推动还是要从人性方面来推动的。
风华绝代尤可见，世间再无梅艳芳。
轻松的电影，没看过原版，这版的种族概念应该是原版没有的。男女主角没有在一起就特别好，不然怪怪的cp感会适得其反。女主维文当大明星的样子真是美美哒，那双特殊的大眼睛。
想念你们。
看样子，除了本片，《巨星嫁到》也是据此改编的了。都是大同小异的剧情，草根男遇到明星女，各种不可能的过程后，以可能收尾。呵呵！6
不功不过稍显俗套，带不来太多东西。如果不能在能力上做更多进步，萨马拉维文做花瓶的时间不会太多了
没想到这么好看，除了那个吃里扒外的，里面每个人都是人生赢家。监视组那一对爱吃胖胖老基，哈哈哈😆
2022年都过去了大半年 为什么还会出现这种搁80年代都觉得老套且太不真实的题材？？？
7/10 。男主演员选得太好了，自带萌人属性，以至于虽然年纪大但是组起CP来依旧路人缘很好。冷知识：男女主年龄差30岁。情节嘛也就是那么回事，最后让男女主做朋友还是蛮合理的。周末看看挺好，轻松愉快。
