Movie Review: Lethal Ladies Collection: Volume 2 (Shout Factory)

Three cheesy Roger Corman 70‘s exploitation films in one neat little set- and although not all of the same caliber, each of them delivers in varying degrees the classic Corman trademarks. Here's a quick look at each:

The Arena (1974) -  Kidnapped by Roman soldiers, four beautiful women must battle for their lives in The Arena, while attempting to beat the Romans at their own game. This one stars Corman’s favorite ass-kicking temptress, Pam Grier and Margaret Markov (The Hot Box and Black Mama, White Mama). These two sexy exploitation icons alone have helped to give this film its well deserved cult status. Markov playing the role of Bodicia, the hot priestess who likes running around in lingerie, and Grier playing the role of Mamawi, the Nubian dancer with deadly sword-fighting skills.
