Prison Heat (1993)
7/10
A fun slice of WIP trash, courtesy of Cannon.

Four American babes decide to drive from Greece to Istanbul, but run into trouble at the Turkish border where corrupt guards frame them for drug trafficking; before you can say 'Midnight Express', they're whisked off to an all-female prison where life is cheap. Prison warden Saladin (Uri Gavriel) takes a fancy to big-breasted innocent Bonnie (Lori Jo Hendrix), repeatedly sexually assaulting the girl, but ultimately plans to sell her as a sex slave to a wealthy Arab. Bonnie also attracts the attention of tough lesbian prisoner Hellena (Toni Naples), but the other three girls rally round to protect their friend. Colleen, the most resilient of the group, realises that their only option is to try and escape...

As WIP films go, this one is fairly formulaic, with the expected internal exam, communal showers, catfights, rape, and lesbian shower scene. What makes this one better than most is the standard of T&A on display, with Hendrix and Chambers possessing extremely hot bodies that they're clearly very proud of, showing off their impressive physical attributes at every available opportunity. The girls certainly weren't chosen for their acting ability, the performances being extremely wooden. Director Joel Silberg conducts proceedings with little finesse, but this kind of trashy sleaze doesn't need Spielberg at the helm, just someone who knows the value of a big pair of tits.

The violence on offer is fairly mild - don't go expecting any Jess Franco-style torture; even when Saladin finally gets what he deserves, Bonnie castrating him with a knife, there's nothing very graphic... just some blood on his grundies.

6.5/10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.
