REVIEW: Well, I won't try to argue that this film isn't ridiculous and stupid. But I will tell you that it's a lot more fun than I expected. Colleen turned out to be an all out badass, the dialog was just off-the-charts insane, and it goes father than a WIP film not made in the seventies has a right to go. However, in the end, the film can probably be best reduced to this: Scenes waiting for Lori Jo Hendrix to get naked. Scenes with Lori Jo Hendrix naked. Scenes waiting for Lori Jo Hendrix to get naked again. And so on.

SYNOPSIS

Four co-eds are enjoying their graduation getaway in Greece. But their sense of adventure gets the best of them, and they decide to hop over to Turkey (bad idea). Let's meet the four girls: Michelle (Gilya Stern) and Bonnie (Lori Jo Hendrix), Colleen (Rebbecca Chambers), and Audrey (Kena Land). Who would've guessed. The girls are wrongfully imprisoned for having cocaine in their vehicle (planted by the Turkish police). Michelle (Gilya Stern) her her blouse removed. The warden, Saladin (Uri Gavriel) goes for Bonnie next and cuts open her bra. The prisoners take a shower. Colleen puts on her clothes. Michelle tells Bonnie to calm down. They'll be out of here before you know it. Hellena (Toni Naples) is the queen bitch of this joint. She gives Bonnie "hungry eyes" as she showers. Colleen realizes that Bonnie is the focus of attention and quickly pulls her from the shower and puts her in a towel.

In the cafeteria, Hellena cozies up to Bonnie. Connie, a girl who apparently knows no fear, immediately puts the beat down on Hellena. This gets them both in trouble with Saladin. Hellena doesn't give up so easy. In the sweatshop, she pulls Bonnie aside to finish what she started. Colleen and Audrey arrive in time to save her. Once again, Saladin has to step in and break up the warring factions. Saladin calls Bonnie into his office and instantly gets to manhandling her. After the rape, Bonnie takes a shower and throws up.Colleen has a plan to take care of Hellen - Meet her alone in the shower with a blade hidden in her hair.

Audrey: I've got a really bad feeling about this.

Colleen: Audrey, you know, you've got a bad feeling about everything.

Audrey: It's my nature.

Colleen: Then take a laxative.

It's "go time". Colleen takes her shower awaiting Hellena. She pulls the blade to Hellena's throat and threatens to kill her if she fucks with Bonnie again, and then makes her eat a bar of soap! Colleen smiles as she trots out of the shower; Hellena coughs up soap. Bonnie should know better than to go to the shower alone. Saladin is there waiting for her. After he rapes her, he tells her that "soon you will come to enjoy it." What a bastard. Bonnie is naturally traumatized by the event; the second time she's been raped by Saladin, and surely not the last. She tries to kill herself with a broken mirror. The girls rally to her side.

They've had enough. Time to escape. Bonnie, who's at the edge of sanity, has a plan. She'll get in Saladin's office, because she knows he'll welcome her inside, then - "while he's fucking me, you come in and jump him." In Saladin's office, Bonnie is assaulted by one of the warden's associates. But the girls arrive in the nick of time, and with the help of Hellena's crew. Before they leave, Bonnie delivers the quote of the movie just before she cuts off his ball sack: "Some people like soft tobacco pouches. Me, I just want a coin purse." THE END
