GARAGE OLIMPO (1999)

Maria teaches literacy to the Buenos Aires poor, belongs to an anti-junta political cell, and lives with her Italian immigrant mother in a grand old house with a shy lodger, Felix , whose tentative advances faintly tickle her. One day the goon squad abducts her to the Garage Olimpo, an anonymous metal shuttered workshop which contains a hive of concrete torture chambers; it'll be several long weeks in hell before Maria sees daylight again. Felix is employed here. He's good at his job, too, and works over Maria, but afterwards, and around the edges of her torment, a bond is forged between them.

GIRLS BEHIND BARS (1949)  a.k.a. Mädchen hinter Gittern
directed by Alfred Braun
cast: Gabrielle Hessman, Ruth Hausmeister, petra Peters, Susi Deitz

One of the first films lensed in the American zone of Berlin after World War II. The lurid title obscures the film's avowed purpose: to bring about much-needed reforms in Germany's juvenile reformatories. The "old guard" wants to use the severest forms of discipline to keep their charges in line. The "newer" authorities, however, believe that an ounce of kindness is worth a pound of retribution. Most of the footage is devoted to Petra Peters, cast as an innocent girl trapped by circumstance in the mazelike reform-school system. American prints of Girls Behind Bars are shorn of a rape scene and several shots of the female inmates showering in the nude (how times have changed!)

GOLDEN QUEENS COMMANDO (1984) a.k.a. Commando Amazon  a.k.a Black cat   a.k.a. Seven Black Heroines a.k.a. Jackie Chan's Crime Force  a.k.a  les 7 magnifiques
directed by: Chu Yin Ping
cast: Brigitte Lin, Sally Yeh, Teresa Tsui, Elsa Yeung, Hilda Lau

It starts out as a women in prison film, and Black Fox plans a breakout for her and six specially chosen inmates. Each of the Hong Kong hotties has a specialty and Black Fox blackmails the girls into helping her destroy a chemical plant that's producing nasty weapons. From here it turns into "The Magnificent Seven", and all of the girls end up sacrificing their lives to further their cause. Lately this movie has been packaged as a Jackie Chan movie. This is a shameless sales pitch as Chan only has a small part in it.
