Tonight's Stinker: The Female Bunch(1971)
Tonight's Stinker
The Female Bunch(1971)

So, a bunch of women on horseback & a pair of women in a plane are chasing a young couple driving through the desert.... The plane makes a couple passes, & a girl with a rifle wounds the man & hits one of the car's tires, so they run for it... They hide in a cave, where the man asks the woman how she wound up with this group...
We flash back to a few weeks earlier, where the girl explains how her fiancé gambled away all their money & ditched her in Las Vegas..... She becomes a cocktail waitress, & has a brief fling with a lounge singer, who dumps her for another woman.... The girl's pretty needy, so she tries to kill herself, but a stripper friend saves her, & decides to introduce her to a girl gang on a secret ranch in the desert, where Lon Cheney Jr is a dirty old man who looks after the horses.....
The women ride to Mexico, where one handles a drug deal while the others party.... They need to make the trip a couple times, & hafta deal with a Mexican farmer who built a farm on the trail they use, & one of the girls makes the mistake of giving a map to the ranch to this guy she likes, & so on & so forth.....
Somehow, I thought this was going to be a spaghetti western, but it's really just a biker movie without motorbikes.... Gotta say, the narration really helps to understand all that's going on....
Pure grindhouse, from a bad print....
