Slammer Girls (1987)
9/10
Great hilarious low-budget flick

This movie is funny because it is a parody of modern politics. It features a governor who obviously forgot to sign up for a course in public relations and runs his office without a hint of restraint. It's raw politics in its purest form. The main character, a girl named Melody becomes a victim of circumstances and gets thrown in a slammer following a showcase trial for a crime she allegedly did not commit, mainly an attempted assassination of the governor where his penis takes the bullet. Having as much prior exposure to the system as she had experience in sex, she becomes a constant scapegoat for her fellow inmates and a tough lesbian warden. As she gradually works her way up through the system, she predictably gets processed into a human vegetable, often a result of some hilarious misunderstandings. The mayor in the meantime, in face of his inability to satisfy his stripper-looking wife any longer, decides to cut down on his losses and get a penis transplant, but the donor he picks up turns out to be gay. He therefore cannot utilize his latest acquisition as originally intended, until his wife dresses up in a boyish sailor suit. The ending consists of some incomprehensible twist in the story which parodies random incomprehensible twists from so many movies out there where plot don't matter. One of the top best and craziest parodying movies out there produced on a low budget. Great laugh, great viewing experience.
