Black Mama, White Mama (1973)

American International Pictures
Directed by Eddie Romero
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, MGM)

Utilizing a plot device that goes at least as far back as The Defiant Ones, two escaped women convicts are chained together and on the run across a Philippine island. One of them is a revolutionary whose guerrilla friends try to find them before the cops, bounty hunters and drug dealers. Pam Grier is the ex-hooker whose former pimp wants her dead. Sid Haig has the best role as a cowboy bounty hunter. The title used on the voice over for the trailer is probably more descriptive: Women in Chains.
