EDITOR’S NOTE: Today’s movie is brought to you by AC Nicholas, who has graciously become a Big B&S’er, a monthly supporter of the site and got to pick an entire week of movies. His idea this time was for a series on movies that started as one film and were dubbed into something else.

Would you like to have me write about the movies of your choice? It’s simple!

1. Go to our Ko-Fi site and donate. There’s no set amount and I won’t tell you what to do. In fact, if you just keep reading for free, we can still be friends.
2. Join as a monthly member for just $1. That makes you a Little B&S’er.
3. As a Medium B&S’er at just $3 a month, if you pick a movie or a director, I’ll write about them for you. In fact, I’ll do one for each month you subscribe and even dedicate the post to you.
4. For $5 a month, you basically get some major power. As a Big B&S’er, I’ll write an entire week on any subject you’d like. How awesome would that be? In fact, I’ll do it for every month you’re a member. Do you think any of your other movie sites will do that for you?

Bambi (Eva Arnez) is a female karate fighter and pro wrestler who no longer loves combat. Barney (Barry Prima) is a martial artist who helps her find the eye of the tiger again. That’s needed because she needs to raise money for an operation to save the life of her brother.

Or maybe not, because 1982’s Jopi Burnama-directed Perempuan Bergairah (Passionate Woman) was remixed by Troma’s Charles Kaufman. If your idea of the height of humor is repeated bathroom jokes, you’ll love this. I must admit that I did laugh when a woman yelled when Bambi wins a fight, “Come see me tonight, I have a vibrator!” and Bambi replies,”Mine has all five speeds!”

Now for the real description of the original from IMDB: “Renny Basuki (Eva Arnaz) is a young woman and a former judo champion who, after her father’s demise, tries to look after her impoverished family. When her younger brother is diagnosed with a deadly disease, she is desperate to afford his surgery costs. One day, Indra (Prima), a professional wrestling manager, offers Renny and her friend Mia (Diana Suarkom) a place in his female wrestling troupe. They agree but Renny’s mother disapproves her wrestling career.”

As much as I love how much pro wrestling this has, not to mention a snake in the bath scene that shot for shot rips off A Nightmare On Elm Street plus a man’s face being erased by acid and someone else getting blown up with explosive throwing stars and then brass knuckles being used to punch someone’s eyeball out of their head, I am not a fan of Barry Prime being made into Elvis.

Then again, because of this movie, I hunted down the original.

Troma also made Ferocious Female Freedom Fighters Part 2 from another movie with Arnaz in it, Barang Terlarang (Violent Killer).
