Black Mama, White Mama
The Defiant Ones changes sex and gets the blaxploitation treatment in commonplace Filipino top banana Eddie Romero's trashy action filler. Hooker Pam Grier and insurgent fighter Margaret Markov are the chicks in chains who escape from a chokey and, disguised as nuns, vamoose from the watch, counter-revolutionaries and a terrorist pack. Complete with cat fights, scenes and gun battles, this was the flicks (amazingly from a story by coming director Jonathan Demme) that apparently convinced approaching black superstar Grier to turn a full-every so often actress — so it wasn't a complete despoil of Harry's time. The two leads teamed up again to The Arena.
