Uriah43 This movie essentially begin with a young American tourist named "Alex Morrison" (Kimberly Kates) traveling in Czechoslovakia to meet her sister when she is maliciously framed for smuggling illegal drugs and subsequently sentenced to 10 years at hard labor in a notorious prison known as "Razic Penitentiary". What makes this prison so horrific is the fact that it is run by a masochistic warden named "Magda Kassar" (Bridgette Nielson) who forces the female prisoners to prostitute themselves and further requires them to perform in pornographic films. To make matters worse, her assistant "Rosa Schmidt" (Jana Svandova) is even more vicious and compels the prisoners to labor in her own private drug laboratory when the warden isn't currently exploiting them. Yet as hopeless as things might seem, Alex's sister, "Suzanne Morrison" (Kari Whitman) refuses to give up on her and enlists the help of the American ambassador "Franklin Goff" (Paul Koslo) to petition the Czech government on her behalf. Failing that possibility, she unexpectedly finds help from a Czech named "Stefan Lotsky" (Marek Vasut) who also pledges to help. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this particular film bore no relation to its predecessor and because of that it isn't necessary to see the original movie first. However, I should probably add that this particular movie lacked the technical quality of the first in large part because of the low-budget atmosphere which permeated everything. The script was weak and the setting looked more like a school than a prison. Even so, the acting was adequate and the presence of several beautiful actresses like Lucie Benesova (as "Tina Lukof") along with the aforementioned Kimberly Kates and Kari Whitman certainly didn't hurt. Be that as it may, however, due to the weaknesses mentioned earlier, none of these young ladies were quite able to elevate this movie to an average level and because of that I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.

RTheManF89 To start this review off, I have never, ever seen the original Chained Heat from 1983, but I was intrigued to check this one out, mainly for Sylvester Stallone's ex/Flavor Flav's current lady friend, Brigitte Nielsen and Paul Koslo (Robot Jox)What was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime, turned out to be a complete nightmare for young student Alex Morrison (Played by Kimberly Kates.) Alex is wrongfully arrested for smuggling drugs into the Czech Republic, and is found guilty, given a 10-year sentence, and shipped to the Reznik Prison. At Reznik, she meets the sadistic Warden Magda Kassar (Played by Nielsen), her equally sadistic assistant Rosa, and Bobo, a Shakespeare-quoting transvestite. Meanwhile, Alex's sister Suzanne (Played by Kari Whitman) tries to get the charges towards her sister cleared, with the help of attorney Mr. Goff (Played by Koslo), who hides an agenda of his own.In no way would I call this movie a masterpiece. It is cheesy, but it also manages to be entertaining in some parts, like with Bobo, who I found to be quite funny, in an unintentional way. And Kimberly Kates is hot. No lie. So if you're just looking for something to watch and have nothing better to do, give Chained Heat 2 a watch.Slightly Recommended.And for the record, I will NOT be watching Chained Heat 3: Hell Mountain anytime soon.EXTRAS: The Canadian VHS tape, which I own, has a Cineplex Odeon Gift Card Promo and trailers for TC 2000 and Criminal Behavior.

lastliberal This movie had all the features of a women-in-prison movies without the sex.Yes, there were shower scenes and sex acts intimated, but heck, you see nothing you wouldn't find in a Girls Gone Wild video.Kimberly Kates gives a skintastic view in the shower with Playboy Playmate of the Month (Czech Republic edition) Lucie Benesová, but it was really innocent.We never got anything from Bridgette Nielson that is worth seeing. She is too busy snorting coke and yelling at her head dragon lady, Jana Svandová, who would fit in nicely in nazipoloitation movies.I think you would be better off looking for some caged heat, rather than chained.

sad_59 The only reason this movie is even watchable is because it shows a lot of T and A from the actresses. It's really what I would call soft porn. Not as exciting as the title would make you think...kind of ho hum. I wouldn't say the acting is bad, it's the script that sucks. Too bad the director or writer couldn't put a little more imagination into what could have been a better movie. Although it certainly would never have been Oscar material it could be a lot better than what it is. Still, if you enjoy some beautiful women walking around naked you will enjoy it I guess. I would like to see the actors and actresses with better material. I think some of them show some real talent but what can you do when you are stuck with a vehicle like this. The only reason I happened upon this movie was that it was on HBO and I thought the title was interesting.
