Crosstown Arthouse presents The Muthers
Crosstown Theater 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, United StatesThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series presents Cirio Santiago's The Muthers at Crosstown Theater. 1976/93 minutes/Rated R
“Sleaze ahoy! Directed by heroic smut merchant Cirio Santiago (TNT Jackson, Vampire Hookers) and shot on-the-cheap in the Philippines, The Muthers is like stepping into one of Martin Denny's exotica LPs while it plays in Jess Franco's living room. Filled with karate chops and epic psychedelic-funk jams, this is the story of two pirates (Jeanne Bell and Rosanne Katon) who rob and loot on the China Seas, get sent to a women's prison presided over by a sadistic warden, then revolt and turn the sky black with the smoke from their machine guns. In other words, this is the only revolutionary-pirate-women-in-prison movie that you'll ever need. Restored from the original negative for maximum savagery!” — American Genre Film Archive
