Interpol agent Cliff Hoyst (Ivan Rassimov, THE STRANGE VICE OF SIGNORA WARDH) may be playing more than one side. When gangster Mamma the Turk (Patricia Hayes, A FISH CALLED WANDA) tries to sidestep middle-man drug dealer Marco (Giacomo Rossi-Stuart, EMANUELLE IN BANGKOK), Cliff takes out the competition. In London, Cliff starts working for Morrell (Ettore Manni, FELLINI CITY OF WOMEN) who runs an escort agency that regularly films and blackmails important wealthy men to transport drugs hidden inside works of art. Their latest patsy is American ambassador Lansin (Cec Linder, LOLITA) seduced by Morrell's favorite bunny - and his wife - Joann (Stephanie Beacham, AND NOW THE SCREAMING STARTS). Cliff - who is also romantically involved with Joann - deals with Mamma the Turk's associate Gambel (Luciano Catenacci, KILL BABY KILL) for Morrell but behind the other man's back Cliff crosses and double-crosses his way through both Interpol and various mafia factions; but is he out for justice or just on the take?

The first of FISTFUL OF DOLLARS cinematographer-turned-director Massimo Dallamano's two crime films, SUPER BITCH is shot through with splattery bullet hits, production value-friendly globe-hopping, and ample coverage of Beacham's ample attributes. Hayes' Mamma the Turk (or "Toyk" as she pronounces it) and her hippy "family" - including the lovely Verna Harvey (who had previously appeared with Beacham in Michael Winner's "Turn of the Screw" prequel THE NIGHTCOMERS - is colorful and Rassimov looks sharp as Cliff, but the twisty plot doesn't quite hold up if you pay too much attention. Thankfully, there's plenty to keep genre fans entertained. Stanley Kubrick associate Leon Vitali (BARRY LYNDON) appears here in a supporting role as one of Morrell's male escorts. Riz Ortolani's brassy main theme was re-used in THE RED RINGS OF FEAR - the third film in the unofficial "schoolgirls in peril" that also included Dallamano's WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE? (also shot in the UK and featuring I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE's Camille Keaton, who has a smaller role here), WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO OUR DAUGHTERS? - which was meant to be helmed by Dallamano before he was killed in a car crash in 1976 (the film was eventually directed with considerably less flair by TV director Alberto Negrin). Released in the UK as BLUE MOVIE BLACKMAIL and in the US as MAFIA JUNCTION, the film's UK title was changed to SUPER BITCH (shifting the emphasis from "bastard" Inspector Cliff) for late eighties video release to cash in on Beacham's soap diva role Sable Colby on DYNASTY and its short-lived off-shoot THE COLBYS.
