Ferocious Female Freedom Fighters Trailers

Spoof based (loosely) on an old Indonesian film, which has had the old foreign soundtrack removed and replaced by an over-dubbed English track. Central character is a female wrestler who has decided that she no longer wants to wrestle, but whose mother (a former wrestler herself) wants her to keep wrestling to make money so her brother can have the operation (his seminal vessels run to his skull, rather than his groin, which purportedly will cause his head to explode if he gets too excited). During the course of her story (in which a number of brawls ensue), she is befriended by a Elvis-impersonating martial artist. This recut/redubbed version is 72 minutes long.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Female wrestler Bambi (Eva Arnaz) wants to give up the sport but must continue to fight in order to raise enough cash for her younger brother's corrective surgery (when he gets aroused his sperm goes to his brain). Barry Prima also stars as a fighter, Barney, who befriends Bambi and helps her to defeat some bad guys.Ferocious Female Freedom Fighters is an Indonesian action flick (original title: Perempuan Bergairah AKA The Fighters), re-dubbed in English by those wags at Troma, who alter the story-line slightly and make the characters say the most asinine things in really dumb voices. With extremely puerile humour, childish sound effects (including burps and farts), and gags about bodily functions, the whole mess becomes tiresome very quickly.Really bad, even by Troma standards, I'd have preferred to have seen the film as it was originally intended: it couldn't be any worse.

And I'm thinking of MST3K and Joe-Bob Briggs. How they would love this movie! Yes, it's really, REALLY bad. I think even Joe-Bob would NOT put this movie on his top 10 list. But, somehow, it grabs you.If you like a lot of moaning, groaning, grunting, screaming, squealing, shrieking women, then you'll love this movie. It appears to be a lame attempt at soft-core porn, without the flesh. Like female wrestling? You'll love this movie.Like proto-Bruce Lee martial arts? You'll love this movie.Like trying to lip-read the actors' lines? You'll love this movie.The only thing missing is Adrienne Barbeau (sp?)I'd recommend being in a "certain state of mind" before watching this flick. But, if you do, I guarantee that you'll have a night to remember! It's like Woody Allen's "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" without the cachet of Woody Allen!I give it a 10 simply for its awfulness, and yet...sooooo hypnotic....

Fans of woody allens "Whats Up Tiger Lily" may enjoy this more crude variation of a similar idea. The film is horrible and the dubbing is very immature but if thats your cup of tea then its a fantastic film. Best Viewed in large groups.

The demented and hilarious re-working of what appears to be originally a dreary Filipino wrestling movie/crime drama, the Troma team does what Woody Allen did in "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" but with less restraint. The humor ranges from mildly absurd to outright raunchy, but it made me and a roommate laugh until we had to stop the tape. Not for everyone, but those who enjoy "Mystery Science 3000" and similar entertainment should find this right up their alley.
