Stanny, did you just agree with yourself?
Female action film.
Black Actress being front and centre of a film in a dominant rather than passive role.
Males play support for the females in this film - unusual then - and unusual now.
It was also shot on a very low budget yet looks as good as anything the big studios made at the time.
There's some ridiculous parts to it as well like the warden and the guards - being totally over the top - but it's essentially a requirement to keep the focus on the women being the heroes and most intellectually appealing of the film.
Oh and it's a smorgasbord of the female form as well.
EDIT: It's a comedy as well - so plenty of laughs.

I'm pretty keen to see where I can find this masterpiece of film...
Stone Cold..
Watched the Doors movie on the weekend. Weird but good movie
Side note, just quickly googled about a new Doors film and found nothing, but a picture of "The Warriors" film came up. Just realised I haven't seen that in a few years, I normally watch that thing at least once every 3-4 years, so I'm about due. Absolute master piece in my eyes.
Walter Hill has made a lot of good movies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Hill
In 1979 he made The Warriors and handed over directing Duties to Ridley Scott for his other movie - Alien.
