EDITOR’S NOTE: Ferocious Female Freedom Fighters, Part 2 was on USA Up All Night on August 17, 1991; February 21, 1992 and January 9, 1993.

Ferocious Female Freedom Fighters was 1982’s Jopi Burnama-directed Perempuan Bergairah (Passionate Woman), which was remixed by Troma’s Charles Kaufman. This is another movie starring Eva Arnaz, the Indonesian female action queen of movies like Barang Terlarang (Violent Killer), AKA I Want to Get Even, Violent Killer, Lady Exterminator and Violent Assassin. Also: Once the wife of Barry Prima.

Directed by Arizal (who made I Can’t Hold It and I Can Hold It Long, two movies that feel part of a longer story, plus Special Silencers, a film in which “red pills are obtained from a forest-dwelling mystic, which aid in meditation. However, if used by the untrained, they cause a huge tree to grow in the stomach and burst its way through the skin. This is sold by Troma as “They’re back and they’re more ferocious than ever!  Ferocious Female Freedom Fighters 2! This is the story of women. Women shattered by violence.  Women left alone, the sole survivors of slaughtered families. Women are sold into a vicious and brutal international crime syndicate. Women subjected to poverty, horror and brutal sex. Experience a secret glimpse into the erotic realm of the Asian underworld, where women are a high-priced commodity and anything is available… for a price.

Pushed to the farthest limits of sanity and battered beyond ordinary human capacity, there is one woman who decides to fight against her destiny. She’s tougher than a rabid canine! Braver than a battalion of Bruce Lees! With vengeance pulsing through her veins, she journeys back into her past, kicking anything that gets in her way, settling the ultimate score… swiftly and permanently! Her task is to terminate the misery and sexual torture of her soul-sisters in slavery. She and her fighting female friends are out to topple the power pyramids of the Asian underworld! Fighting ferociously with fists and feet flying, these females are out for revenge!”

Breathless, huh?

Starting with a totally different aspect ratio, this turns into an Indonesian They Call Her One Eye as Arnaz goes from a college girl with a boyfriend out of town to a kidnapped and turned out sex worker who starts to learn how to get revenge. But does that movie have flaming snakes, black magic, a fight scene where its heroine holds a baby the entire time and a soundtrack that is both disco and Indonesian country?

It must be the Troma name, horrible dub, and poor quality of the transfer that are keeping more people from losing their minds over this movie. Let’s fix that. This was beyond entertaining.

You can watch this on Tubi.
