Caged Heat II: Stripped of Freedom (1994)

Really Surprised!

Fantastic!

An action-packed slog

A different way of telling a story

After the king of a banana republic decides to abdicate, his daughter "Princess Marga" (Chanel Akiko Hirai) is captured by revolutionaries and sent to a maximum security prison. This results in the American government sending a female agent by the name of "Amanda" (Jewel Shephard) to the prison to protect her and attempt to facilitate her escape at the appropriate time. What makes things more difficult, however, is that another American woman by the name of "Lucy" (Susan Harvey) is caught up in the action and sent to that same prison. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film turned out to be a rather standard women-in-Prison (WIP) movie which covers the essential basics and doesn't stray too far off course. As a matter of fact, it's actually quite tame in comparison to some of the other films in this particular sub-genre. That being said, however, although both Chanel Akiko Hirai and Jewel Shephard were both quite attractive, the acting wasn't too good overall and for that reason I have rated it as slightly below average.

I'm writing this because some idiot with the screen name "whpratt1" wrote a completely spurious review and clearly didn't even see the movie!!!!!First here's the plot: King Lim is the oppressive ruler of a country on the verge of revolution. The CIA arranges a fake assassination to get him safely out of the country, but his daughter is captured in the ensuing melee and sent to The Rock, an island penitentiary known for its harshness. Agent Amanda commits a local crime in order to infiltrate the prison and rescue Princess Marga. Within, she predictably encounters official corruption, shifting allegiances, and a sleazy warden that make her task more challenging. whpratt1 said this movie was filled with graphic porno sex. Really? What movie was HE watching? Plus he says the lead is an up and coming actress!!!!! She's pushing 60 now and she came and went! The guy must be a doperActually, the problem with this film is there isn't enough nudity! You watch this genre for gratuitous sex and violence. There is virtually none.Not a good-bad movie!

....That I cannot give this film a good rating. I had high hopes..a chicks in chains movie with violence sex, bad acting and nudity......hardly. Unless what I was viewing was a censored version of this film. It was not debauched, nor brutal as another reviewer claimed it to be. With only one female villain in the prison , this movie is more like a topless Charlie's Angels episode. The main actress delivers her lines like the SNL staff reading cue cards. I would rather have seen bad acting, ham fisted campy and over embellished than droll and lethargic. It's sorta OK. If you are a die hard W.I.P. Fan, there is enough to keep you watching the whole film. The big sex act only takes place on an adult movie they are watching in the Customs office at the airport. Worth renting, or watching...but not to purchase. Oh yeah...all the actresses in this film are all easy on the eyes, but hard on the dialogue.

If you like violence, lots of sex, which is very close to porno, and think rape and sexual abuse to women in a so called prison is okay, this is the film for you. I have Pay-TV and watched this film briefly, so I really cannot tell you the ending of the film? Jewel Shepard(Amanda),"The Cooler",'03, is a very talented actress and very good looking, however, she wasted her talents in this film. Pamella D'Pella (Paula),"Space Cowboys",2000, is a very beautiful gal and is an up and coming actress also wasted her talents twisting and grinding for the warden, Vic Diaz,"Closer to Home", '95, who portrayed a very evil and dirty minded old man, who every time he smiled looked like the DEVIL himself!
