What happens

The Muthers is a 1976 English-language Filipino blaxploitation women in prison film. It starred Jeannie Bell, Rosanne Katon, Trina Parks, Jayne Kennedy, Tony Carreon and John Montgomery. Quentin Tarantino later wrote, "So why is this cruddy little flick one of my favorite movies? It's the playful execution of a preposterous story that's the key to the film's charm."
