Prison-A-Go-Go!
The evil and incompetent Dr. Hurtrider kidnaps an innocent young woman named Callista to conduct experiments on her to cure disease, even if she doesn't have any. Now it is up to her dimwitted sister, Janie to solve the obvious clues left behind and rescue her little sister. By reading the business card left behind, Janie figures out that Callista has been taken to a prison in the Philippines. So she kills a mentally handicapped man, and is sent to the prison, led by an equally inept warden. There she meets queen bitch Jackpot, and along with the stupid inmates, pathetic ninjas and a vast assortment of idiots, Janie figures out a way to rescue her sister and escape. The film was marketed as being filled with multiple shower scenes, girls running amok, kung fu food fights, ninjas, mutant zombies, evil scientists, genetic mutation, and mud wrestling.
