The Big Bird Cage
For just being what it is and good at it.



Well, after watching Machete Maiden’s Unleased, there is a bunch of this Caged Women exploitation movies available on Netflix. So I sat myself down to check them out. I was not surprised with anything. It was exactly as I expected. If you don’t know what exploitation is, then The Big Bird Cage would be a good primer. It’s all there. Cheap production, bad scripts, bad acting, lots of T & A. Pure Heaven. Ok, maybe it’s not great, but it’s good bad material. Pam Grier got her start in these flicks. Pretty bad acting, but then again, it wasn’t the acting that catapults her to stardom. There’s plenty of other characters to move the absurd plot along, and that just makes the movie that more enjoyable.  I would think watching these types of movies at the driven-in would have been the coolest way to watch them. But that ship has long sailed.

Note Sid Haig in here as the star and playboy type character. He's taken a diametrically opposite direction since then in his career.
