"Never trust a girl giving her donuts away for free"
- Billy Jean

Man oh man, Angie Dickinson kicks some ass in this movie. From taking over her dead husband's moonshine business to robbing banks to kidnapping high-society chicks, she does it all. All alongside her two "innocent" little daughters Billy Jean and Polly, who don't seem to mind at all, following their mom into madness.

Tom Skerritt as Fred is probably the opposite of Warren Beatty in Bonnie and Clyde, as Fred is the impersonation of the "loverboy"(he loves screwin') , a term Clyde rejected of being on multiple occasions. Other than that, this flick is full of B&C references, especially that last shootout scene pays tribute to it.

All in all, What a goddamn enjoyable movie. Also: Is there anyone as classy as William Shatner, when it comes to robbing millionaires?

List: Sexploitation Essentials

Angie Dickenson is game for Big Bad Mama, even baring her all, for art.

A larky affair, Depression era crime-comedy-cum-sexploitation, produced by Roger Corman, it’s a quality one banged out on the presumed cheap.

Big Bad Mama takes her sexually naive, precocious teens, Susan Sennett and Robbie Lee (both very good, btw), on a tear upending banks, an American Legion party, a seedy preacher, as well as the well-heeled. She teaches them a liberated, libertine way of living, having a hoot and a holler all the while.

Frankly, I could have liked it turning a little darker, as there is neither danger nor threat throughout. I feel like Robert Altman or Jonathan Demme could’ve turned this into something more, though it’s certainly fun and ribald.

“I just never felt the titties of a millionaire before.”

I never knew how little I needed to see William Shatner in a fully nude sex scene over breakfast until this morning. Watching the Shat awkwardly trying to hide his dick behind Angie Dickinson while he painfully attempts to avoid touching her boobs is a pitiful and deeply sad sight to behold, and begs the question.... has William Shatner ever had sex?
Dickinson is a trooper though, her facial expression demonstrates how confused she is with his on-screen lovemaking technique, but she soldiers through like the professional she is and makes the scene work.

Other things happen in this movie.
I liked it.

Fun and trashy Depressionsploitation Bonnie & Clyde knockoff from producer Roger Corman. Aggressively episodic but well-acted throughout and beautifully shot in parts. My biggest complaint is that I never, ever wanted to see that much of William Shatner.

Breasts, bullets, and blood by way of bootlegging and bank robbing. A Corman cross of Bonnie and Clyde and softcore porn.

Chaotic as all hell, and a really insane film overall. It’s not groundbreaking or anything, but it’s a good time regardless. It’s like the meth head version of Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore. Pretty good ending too! Strong 6!

Gotta say that this was a good bit better than I was expecting it to be. Kinda reminded me of the Dukes Of Hazzard a bit with the law breaking shenanigans except more R rated. Got a kick out of Shatner showing up to play the genteel southern boyfriend but really the two sisters stole the show. I'll be checking out the sequel even though I doubt it will be as good.

An essential '70s New World drive-in classic and revisited now in honor of the late, great Dick Miller. The beloved character actor has a pretty sizable role here as a hapless FBI agent perpetually one step behind Depression-era outlaw Wilma McClatchie (Angie Dickinson). Notable at the time for some gratuitous Dickinson nudity that made it a cable favorite throughout the '80s (William Shatner also gets naked, and Tom Skerritt gets more ass than a toilet seat, bedding Dickinson and both of her daughters, played by Susan Sennett and Robbie Lee), it's a more lighthearted, T&A take on Roger Corman's BLOODY MAMA with Shelley Winters. Producer Corman would rehash the same story again the next year with Cloris Leachman in Jonathan Demme's much more sanitized, PG-rated CRAZY MAMA, and despite the finality of BIG BAD MAMA's ending, Dickinson would return for the belated 1987 sequel BIG BAD MAMA II.

There needs to be a modern remake of this. A Fast and Furious meets Hustlers vibe.

This film feels more of a Russ Meyer-film,thanks to numerous T&A-scenes than recently deceased Steve Carver's film.Also if this had been Russ Meyer's film it might have been actually funny.

Very entertaining. It’s a crime spree road movie that highlights the bond between a mother and her daughters. It gingerly touches on national politics, as well as the personal politics between humans. Lots of stunts and fun, and Angie Dickinson is great.

I would not watch this film again.

Got that Corman Energy. Also literally is 84 minutes. Also a God Shatner performance where he gets to do some good shouting and crazy guy acting

If you ever wanted to see Angie Dickinson have sex with Captain Kirk, then this classic trash is for you. A Corman-produced period piece cashing in on the success of Bonnie and Clyde, Dickinson plays a depression-era single mother dreaming of riches. Along with her two daughters (and eventually two male partners), she goes from bootlegging to bank robbing to national fame. Even though there are a few appreciated barbs at capitalism, the script is generally pure junk food. This is trash par excellence, moving from between sex and violence with a lightning pace. While the supporting cast includes Tom Skerritt, William Shatner, and cult favorites Susan Sennett (The Candy Snatchers), Robbie Lee (Switchblade Sisters) and Dick Miller, this is Dickinson’s show all the way. She brings gusto to her strong willed and independent matriarch role, handling a tommy gun with ease and also giving some choice nude scenes showing off her amazing forty-something body.

Hell yes this film is Dillenger meets Switchblade Sisters and it even has the girl from Switchblade Sisters. Mama and her daughters are three very attractive woman. Plenty of tits, ass, and bank robbin.

in this bonnie & clydesploitation battle between original series star trek and original movie alien for the heart of angie dickinson, "motherfuckin" skerritt pulls through with the narrow victory. about as much fun as it's possible to have with 1hr25min and an amazon prime sub

It's certainly got its charms. But I'm not sure it's got enough of them if the audience isn't already a Corman/Angie Dickinson/B-movie fan.

Found this gem on Prime.
Wow, what a fun ride. Not much meat on this bone but Angie Dickinson does a great job in this Bonnie and Clyde like movie! Also, did I mention William Shatner!!!!

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

A late arrival riding on the cattails of Bonnie and Clyde. This is trash, but has some interesting bits. The class dynamics between Skerritt and Shatner's characters and how they approach making money is the stuff that could make for a better movie if better developed.
