Editorial Review:
Angie Dickinson stars as a bank-robbing matriarch in this 1974 Roger Corman production, often described as a knock-off of Bonnie and Clyde. (As if that makes any difference regarding the worth of the film--which is pretty good.) Set in Great Depression-era Texas, the story finds Dickinson's desirable and poor character driven to crime, along with her two daughters (Susan Sennett, Robbie Lee), all of whom use sex to distract or drive men into culpability. The film, directed by Steve Carver, is pure Corman formula: fast-moving, violent, gritty, adorned with nudity, and yet solidly true to its own sense of high drama and texture. Veteran Angie Dickinson brings solid acting chops (and a great bod on display) to the enterprise--and speaking of Enterprise, William Shatner is quite memorable (as is Tom Skerritt) as one of the gentlemen who fall under the antiheroine's sway. --Tom Keogh

What else is there to say about this movie?!!! This should be re-named "Proud Mama" cause Angie struts her great bod and is proud of it!!!

Rating: - Pretty good vintage Dickinson, Shatner
Saw the movie years ago. You know how time does. Didn't think it was as great as I remembered. Still an action movie. Not altogether bad, just not as good as I thought I remembered.
Rating:  - Action, Sex and Comedy, Who Could Want More?
This movie is the perfect example of why Roger Corman's movies always made money: good stories, beautiful women and action sequences that combined tension, speed and comedy. Big Bad Mama is the story of one woman who wanted something better for her kids than what she had, and the lengths she would go to in order to achieve that. Her resolution of the problem may not fit in with the better element's view of right and wrong, or propriety and morality, but then again, it was the society the better ... Read More
