Five Gates to Hell
A small group of Red Cross nurses, doctors and nuns are taken hostage in Vietnam by Chinese guerillas and sent up river to a castle hideout so they can cure an ailing war general.
Guerrilla forces overtake a field hospital in French Indochina, kidnapping doctors Richter (Ken Scott) and Minelle (John Morley), as well as several nurses. Leading the captives into the jungle, guerrilla Chen Pamok (Neville Brand) forces the doctors to operate on elderly warlord Gung Sa (Benson Fong) and enslaves the women. After a firefight, nurses Athena Roberts (Dolores Michaels) and Joy Brooks (Patricia Owens) and nun Maria Phillips (Shirley Knight) try to lead the survivors to safety.
This movie is badass, and a must-see for fans of Jack Hill's Women in Prison films! This film must've been highly influential in the making of The Big Bird Cage, and The Big Doll House. Recommended to exploitation fans - WIP fans especially.
