The Abductors (1972)
4/10
More female exploitation masquerading as female action cinema
23 August 2010
Warning: Spoilers
In some aspects, "The Abductors" is superior to its predecessor: the budget is obviously increased, even allowing for some helicopter shots, the dialogue (especially the banter between Ginger and her boss) is more witty and self-aware (there are, for example, references to James Bond and Ginger's frequent nudity), and Cheri Caffaro herself seems more confident in front of the camera this time around - even when she's not "nearly naked"! But the film drags, probably even more than "Ginger" (though it's 10 minutes shorter), and pretty much the only "action" Caffaro sees is of the sexual variety. Which is why the spirited Jennifer Brooks (AKA Laurie Rose) actually steals the show from her; at least she gets to do a brief judo exhibition. *1/2 out of 4.
