Description: Suspense in a Women-In-Prison movie comes from trying to guess which set of boobs or buttocks will wind up the business end of a branding iron…or worse.
I suspect Final Detention will disappoint hardcore WIP fans for that reason. There’s absolutely no nudity. The only hints at nudity are blocked cleverly by scenery and not-so-cleverly by cheap digital distortion. There are catfights, and some lesbian petting and posturing, but this is as close as Final Detention gets to screen steam. However, what the movie lacks in nudity, it makes up for in creative cruelty: A couple of unfortunate inmates get buried alive up to their necks. Their exposed noggins are then used for target practice. Another inmate is hammered head first into the ground. Yikes! Evidently, Thai censors don’t care how women are abused in cinema, as long as they get abused with their clothes on.
The plot of Final Detention follows the Women-in-Prison formula to the letter. Hotties are rounded up and brought to an island penal colony for rehabilitation of some sort. The sadistic warden and his fun loving gang of female and male guards have some unorthodox ideas about self-improvement though. When the girls have their fill of abuse and torment, they discover a cache of ammo, grab some weapons, and embark on a bloody escape.
Some other nice films from Thailand include a rare Butterfly in Grey and Erotic Journey which was filmed in 1993
While Detention or alternative original title Kang ying movie offers nothing in the way of naked exploitation value, it is quite violent. As a sheer girls n’ guns low budget action exercise, it’s not bad. In fact, it would be pretty damn good in this regard, if both the production and DVD transfer were not so cheesy looking.
