This piece of exploitation junk came from the one and only producer, Roger Corman. Big Bad Mama carefully follows the typical Corman film formula, a little sex, a little social commentary, and a little violence.
The film is a mashup of a lot of other films particularly Bonnie and Clyde and Corman's own Bloody Mama. Angie Dickinson is the criminal mother on the run during the Depression with her two jail bait daughters. They hook up with crooked Tom Skeritt way before MASH and Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner.
Well there's lots of shooting and a whole lot of nudity particularly during an extended striptease for a group of Shriner's or an American Legion men’s group or something. This strip scene just goes on and on. Corman clearly was going to get his money out of the stripper if it killed her. The striptease is so long it finally becomes boring.
After years of playing cover up Angie Dickinson at the age of 43 apparently decided that it was time to do nude scenes in a Roger Corman film for some reason. Well it can be reported that she looks to be in fine shape.
This isn't a movie to be reviewed by any film reviewer much less this amateur reviewer. The film is what it is, ripoff genre crap made to make a buck. Roger Corman made a lot of money with these kinds of films throughout his career.
The film was written by William Norton and Frances Doel, the running time is 83 minutes.
