Blu-ray Review – Amazon Jail II

W21

1985's "Amazon Jail" contained unintentional laughs, but it was mostly a production out to provide a serious understanding of dangers involving a collection of women and their fight against human traffickers. 1987's "Amazon Jail II" is an intentional comedy, turning something that intended to be both titillating and bleak into an episode of "The Benny Hill Show," complete with undercranked shenanigans and screen time set aside to ogle female characters. "Amazon Jail II" isn't really a sequel, but more of a remake of the original endeavor, only here the emphasis is on silliness, watching the actors flail around in an attempt to be funny. Director Conrado Sanchez doesn't really have a vision for the feature, loosely stitching together whatever he can capture with his camera, creating a wearisome viewing experience that's too random to be engaging, resembling a production where everyone gave up early on.
