So that's Eddie's wife.

Pam Grier and Sid Haig star in the grindhouse film about women so hot they melt the chains that enslave them...but not really...The Big Bird Cage.  This movie from 1972 was produced by Roger Corman and marks the second of his Women in Penitentiaries Trilogy.  Django and Blossom go from robbing night clubs to starting a revolution in...Hanoi?  They sweep up an actress having an affair with the prime minister into their madness.  She gets locked away in a prison camp run by guards where conjugal visits are never allowed...except when they are.  Django and Blossom wind up infiltrating the camp in an attempt to free all the women for their revolution.  Lots of skin, offensive stereotypes, and hilarity ensues.
