      bill t Boring as heck for the first quarter, but then they break free and it gets somewhat interesting. But still dreadfully bad in terms of any character development, arcs, or plot. But extremely watchable because of this. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The title is a bit misleading as there's no women in this movie for nearly an hour. It's mainly a story of escaped convicts who commit further crimes to avoid recapture with a carnal edge to it towards the end. The acting is ok, but not great and the interest value never gets too high. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member 1st of all, I wonder who came up with the title of this movie & what were they thinking? The title of this movie is Chain Gang Women so you'd expect a movie about women on a chain gang.There is a chain gang but there are no women.There were only 2 women in the whole movie.Just my 3 cents.I think Chain Gang Women was pretty good & kept me entertained the whole time.I really like all the twists & turns that were thrown in especially the ending that really suprised me.I did NOT see that coming! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A dude gets sent to a dude prison on a marijuana charge, then that dude is transferred to another prison full of dudes and gets shackled to a dude up for life on a murder charge. These two dudes work alongside a bunch of other dudes on a chain gang and one day make an escape. So, upon reaching the halfway point a rational person would ask himself, WHERE THE HELL ARE THE WOMEN??!?!!? I got bad news for you: there are only two plain Janes in this movie, and neither of them works on a chain gang. That deception alone is worth knocking this back to one star if it wasn't there already due to extreme boredom and extreme closeups of ugly dudes' faces. The one moment of zen is that you get treated to the fakest choking scene in movie history. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Well, this is definitely another case of a movie title that leads you astray. Chain Gang Women features two women - both of whom aren't in a chain gang and neither of which are the lead characters in the story. The movie's actually about a couple of guys who break out of prison and they're on the run from the police. Along the way there's rape, murder and general crazyness. The movie is flat-out awful, but in that "so bad it's good" way. There's nothing too redeemable about it, but there's some dialogue and line readings that had me laughing out loud at times. It's sort of a sexploitation movie, even though there's only one really lengthy sex scene in it, but it does play on that a bit. Along with the generic country and bluegrass score, it's definitely one you want to put on to have a few laughs with. It can be boring at times, but stay patient and you'll be rewarded with terrible lines like "I'll break us outta here. I know what I'm doing. I've done it twice before!"
