The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
A reasonable review of this cheap exploitation of "Bonnie and Clyde" might consist of a single sentence: "See 'Big Bad Mama' for review." The original must have made a few shekels because "Big Bad Mama II" is as close to a remake as you can get without being put into a position in which you can bring suit against yourself for plagiarism.This remake has most of the elements of the original -- the old cars twirling around the dusty streets, the chattering Tommy guns, the corrupt rich man, the self-interested guy hanging around with a healthy interest in Big Bad Mama. It even has Angie Dickenson and her two lovely daughters as the principals.However, this isn't as good. Please don't trouble to deny it. Yes, it has the bloody shoot outs, but it doesn't have the bare nakedness of the original. Frankly, it's not enough just to see someone's hands running over unidentifiable lumps of somebody else's flesh. We get brief glimpses of the two daughters capering topless in a pool, but not enough, especially considering that neither can act and one of them looks like a factory reject. What happened to Angie Dickenson's magnificent chest? I was dreadfully disappointed. My heart sank, also my libido. My advice: Rent "Big Bad Mama," the original, a true masterpiece of cinematic poetry. The blood practically spills from the screen along with the breasts.
What a terrible movie! The acting in this film is about the quality of a high school play, or a story driven pornography film. This is not pornography in this film, but there sure is a lot of gratuitous nudity! This is one of the only redeeming qualities of the film, one of the only things that saved it from receiving a rating on one star. Also there are a million cops that die in this film. Hardly offensive though since the violence is so unrealistic we can only laugh. But breasts pop out and become exposed in the most surprising and hilarious times, if you enjoy really really bad movies check this one out. This is a Bonnie and Clyde type story, where a mother and her two daughters are out for revenge. This film also features a sex scene with two of the oldest people i have ever seen rolling around naked!
You watch this film because of the attractive women, not because you expect The Godfather', 'Bonnie and Clyde', or even 'Scarface.' Angie looks great (although she may be body doubled during her sex scene with Culp), and McCullough and Brisbois are barely clothed throughout, thank you very much. Otherwise, this is a clumsily written, directed and acted pile of junk. The action scenes are some of the worst staged for the screen, with Glover, Culp and others standing around, unconcerned, as explosions go off and bullets fly around them. Cops fire endless rounds at Angie and her girls in their jalopy and neither the car or the girls are ever scratched. Plotwise, we've got Dickinson and her girls shooting up cops and blasting their way out of banks then racing off... but the cops never follow. In fact, nobody seems to be after these brazen criminals except Culp, the reporter. The cops are apparently stumped, but Culp finds them without any effort, time and time again. It's all so obviously stupid, and the leads know it. Culp and Dickinson treat the film like a 'Smokey & The Bandit' lark with barely suppressed laughter in many of their scenes. But, once again, you're here for the feminine pulchritude.
Angie Dickenson is back, and this time she's old. She does look good in a bubblebath, though, and her daughters have a skinny-dip.This sequel to a film that ripped-off one film(BLOODY MAMA), which in turn was a rip-off of another flick(BONNIE AND CLYDE).Needless to say, BIG BAD MAMA II is a watered-down affair. And Robert Culp looks embarrassed. It's a time-killer, with the emphasis on "kill".
