Directed by: Kuei Chih-Hung.

Cast: Birte Tove, Lieh Lo, Hsieh Wang, Terry Liu, Roska Rozen

Action packed Shaw Brothers WIP. This one deserves to be seen for the focus puller alone. Chicks are held prisoner in Japanese WWII camp, and pimped out to the higher ups. Lots of brutal sex, hair brained escapes, traitors, and a search for a cave full of treasures. There are moments of sheer nastiness that rival Killer Snakes in tone, and some well done action sequences on the level of the filipino WIP flicks of the early 70's. I especially liked the escape by truck, and its dizzying confussion. Bamboo House of Dolls deserves it's cult status.
