Angels With Golden Guns is a 1981 action-drama from Hong Kong and the Philippines, directed by Leung Pasan, about three women imprisoned by a gang of white slavers who lead a bloody rebellion with the help of a detective.

Programmer's Pick

A delirious cocktail of catfights, gunplay, and every women-in-prison trope in the book—this one’s as wild as its reputation suggests. The sheer spectacle of a courtyard brawl and a cast that spans continents make it a genuine curiosity for exploitation aficionados.

Overview

Angels With Golden Guns throws viewers into the chaotic world of a women’s prison where three captives, held by a gang of white slavers, fight back against their brutal captors. The film is a gleefully over-the-top entry in the Hong Kong women-in-prison subgenre, mixing exploitation flair with a multi-ethnic cast. As the trio endures sadism, violence, and the constant threat of forced prostitution, they rally the other inmates to rebellion, aided by a detective determined to take down the gang from the inside. Expect wild brawls, eccentric characters, and a blend of martial arts and melodrama, all wrapped in an unpredictable, anything-goes tone.
