Explosive drama and action when two sexy girls go on a bank robbing binge. This 1976 female bank robbers exploitation flick is extremely upbeat, with catchy tunes and wide open Texas vistas. Claudia Jennings is sex on wheels as the leader of a trio of bank robbers. Her partner in crime is Jocelyn Jones, and Johnny Crawford plays a "professional hostage". He also gets to share the "bridal suite" with Jennings and Jones. Not bad work for a marginal singer/television actor. It's also good to be the bellhop who delivers champagne to Jennings in the soaking tub. A trip to a fancy restaurant with a nude dancer (Alice Friedland) is memorable, and the isolated cabin shootout offers plenty of REALLY RED blood. The movie delivers, with ample bank robberies, ample explosions, and ample nudity. One final thought. You rarely see a Rolls Royce used as a getaway car. - MERK "The Great Texas Dynamite Chase" has built something of a cult over the more than thirty-five years since its theatrical release, for reasons I'm not completely sure of. Yes, the movie does boast a performance by cult actress Claudia Jennings. Yes, there is quite a bit of nudity and sex scenes. And the female empowerment theme pre-dates movies like "Thelma & Louise". Still, I found it hard to warm up to this movie. The reasons the female pair in the movie rob banks comes across as more selfish and less desperate than usual. The movie doesn't really explore the characters of both the women as well. And the women do some other unlikable actions such as kill policemen who are just trying to enforce the law. I would really only recommend this movie to people who are into B movies and want to see a movie that's had a lot of influence over the years, though even they will probably be somewhat disappointed.
