Black Mama, White Mama (1973)
Exploitation gunk about two prison inmates (Pam Grier and Margaret Markov) who escape transportation while chained together. Grier is a hooker packing calcium whoppers the size of handballs; Markov is a wannabe Hanoi Jane raring to help the local Che Guevara to power. They push-and-pull through the jungle while getting SA'd by everything with a pulse. I guess they're supposed to be in some South American island but the locals speak tagalog, and the brand of shithole looks distinctly Phillipine anyway.
The "black-and-white chained frenemies" thing comes from The Defiant Ones, starring Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier, and has been recycled a thousand times across media, up to a questline Red Dead Redemption 2 (Mr. Black being white and Mr. White being black in that one). Here though the best parts are while they're still in prison, if only because the movie's version of prison life is one unending shower where the inmates tickle and spray each other while the one mean lesbian guard eavesdrops and jerks off. But then she gets Jabba the Hutt'd by her two favorite sex slaves and the chain that binds them, and it's all downhill from there.

And the heroine uses her swimming abilities and the encouragement of father who tells her to be an "apex predator," to save the day. It was so predictable, I had my gf laughing when on three separate occasions, I told her EXACTLY what was going to happen next, and I nailed it every time. My particular favorite was when I told her EXACTLY what angle from which a gator was going to ominously swim into frame, and sure as shit, on cue: gator, right to left. What a croc (lol) of shit, right up there with my last review of Primate. She's not picking anymore movies; I honestly think I'm taking on brain damage at this point.
