No spoiler, the title is extremely accurate. A tremendous cheeze-ball B- movie that delivers every tumid, vacuous thing the lowest part of one's brain desires. There's (primarily)large firearm based violence coupled with copious amounts of full-frontal nun-udity. The nuns are young, attractive and play their parts with aplomb. This kill-em-all revenge flick otherwise follows the expected, pedestrian course through to it's complete end. A stout 6, the highest rating I will give to a B movie.

I figure this was suppose to be a grind house type film, based on the obvious similar soundtrack to Tarantino's 'Grindhouse', and various scenes throughout the film. Yes NNWBG was a low budget feature, but what a feature it was. A cheap, sleazy, smack to the senses. TONS of gratuitous nudity and violence throughout. NNWBG is a film about, a group of nuns who work for the church as packers and mules for a small drug cartel or in this case a Mexican motorcycle gang. Asun Ortega stars as our main protagonist, who for reasons unknown steals a brick of coke from the gang during a run with other nuns. This is quickly discovered and Ortega is shot on the spot, but survives, she is then used and abused and shot full of drugs on a daily basis. Ortega then believes she has been told by God she must be his avenger and kill all who sin, and believe me she kills em all without mercy. Head shot aplenty! This film is definitely not for the kids so keep them away...far away. There's also a few rapes in this film, with one suggesting that one of the victims was underage, being that she was raped in front of her mother and later the suggested teen is passed off (nude) to a lower level gang member, so if this sort of thing bothers you, steer clear of this film. I enjoyed this film for what is was and for what it clearly set out to be. I'm nowhere near shallow, I've seen and love many films, such as 'Terms of endearment, Oldboy (the original),and recently The Revenant'. But Nude Nuns With Big Guns I see as one of those guilty pleasure type movies and I can't wait for a sequel! Side note: Asun Ortega has one of the best butts you'll ever see......OK, now you can say I'm shallow lol.

They sure picked a campy and eye catching name for this one. But guess what? They delivered on both counts, the nude nuns and the big guns. Nudity and violence dominate this clever story.Nude nuns, well, except for the nun headgear, package drugs. Priests distribute them to a motorcycle gang that then sells them. Priests from the local church up the hierarchy are all involved. One day a nun goes wild and shoots up the place killing everyone. Next she sets her sights on the line of priests. But they've alerted the gangsters who start asking around to find the guy responsible for the killings and who use sex as violence. It takes a while for them to find out it's a nun. The nun has a friend/lover who helps her out, and when she is captured by the gang, the nun will confront them.This movie has style--the western/desert exploitation theme but combined with nuns and gangs. It works very well. It's lower budget but benefits from some powerful and very committed performances by Asun(?) Ortega and Perry D'Marco. I'm not so crazy about the casting of Aycil Yeltan (?) as the sidekick nurse. They should have chosen someone more attractive, like Heather Lynch/Whisenhunt who is attractive and hot but only gets a minor role, a role that is somewhat left hanging as we don't know what happens to her in the end. She's part of a family that accidentally ends up in the clutches of the gang. David Castro is also not entirely convincing as the leader of the gang. The script doesn't seem entirely finished and polished. But they do inject some nice nudity throughout the movie. The ending fortunately leaves room for a sequel and I look forward to seeing it. With a bigger budget, a more worked out script and more attractive actresses, it would be perfect. How can you not like a movie like this that is so unabashedly politically incorrect and fun.

"Run! Bitch, Run!" director Joseph Guzman has produced a flavorful example of the vile Nunsploitation genre with his bloody, blasphemous, boob-laden, revenge-driven, actioneer "Nude Nuns with Big Guns." Basically, Nunsploitation grew out of the exploitation film movement in the 1970s. Nunsploitation movies were popular at the same time that the salacious expose women-in-prison movies and degenerate Naziploitation movies were generating controversy in Europe. These thoroughly objectionable grindhouse movies appealed to amoral audiences that wanted to see the Catholic Church ridiculed without mercy for centuries of corrupt, repressed, sexually perverted clergy as well as nuns raping vulnerable nuns. Guzman has faithfully recreated this low-class, grade-Z genre and combined it with elements of biker films. Despite its obviously low budget and lack of celebrity talent, "Nude Nuns with Big Guns" isn't totally beyond redemption. Instead, as a comic, payback in Hell, epic, Guzman's film appropriates those despicable themes and makes them surprisingly palatable on a remarkably shoestring budget. Moreover, this movie doesn't have those obvious one-take scenes where everything is shown in one take. The opening bus scene, for example, appears to have been shot in at least two takes with the suitcases of cocaine lensed in a different take.In "Nude Nuns with Big Guns," a depraved priest is working hand-in-hand with a Mexican gang selling them coke. One of the nuns steals a package of coke from evil biker gang chieftain Chavo. The villainous Hispanic murders two nuns in cold blood without blinking an eye and takes the third one as a gift from the angry priest. Naturally, Chavo presses her into service to use as a whore. "Nude Nuns with Big Guns" is a savage, bloodthirsty saga with rape, murder, and pillage galore. One of the brutalized nuns escapes Chavo's stronghold where she had been shot up with drugs and forced to commit horrendous sex acts. Sister Sarah (Asun Ortega) embarks on a one-woman crusade against these abominable dastards and kills them with extreme prejudice. Sarah shoots it out with a corrupt priest in a confessional box. The priest packs a small automatic pistol that he conceals in his Bible, while Sarah is armed with a sawed-off, double-barreled shotgun. Guzman doesn't pull any punches in his depiction of all the violence. This is the kind of shoot-up, drive-in melodrama that "Sin City" director Robert Rodriguez could make because of its vivid, loathsome, subject matter. The biggest difference between Guzman's movie and the original European stuff in the 1970s is the humor. Nothing is to be taken seriously in this bullet-riddled saga. After Sister Sarah escapes from Chavo's house of ill-repute, she arms herself with two, large, chrome-plated revolvers and metes out death to sadistic priests and nuns who have taken advantage of her sister of the cloth. Indeed, Guzman treads a thin line between fantasy and reality. With a bit of a push, he could have gone completely overboard, but even he must have felt the urge to exercise a modicum of restraint. Although it sounds like a left-handed compliment, Guzman succeeded in making a decent shoot-em up with atmospheric production values and Edwin M. Figueroa's solid, well-composed photography. At the heart of all this mindless violence writhes the theme of female empowerment. The squeamish, the tender-hearted, and the religious-minded are strongly advised to shun this profane recreation of a defunct genre. "Nude Nuns with Big Guns" lives up to his premise and its advertising. At one point, Sister Sarah invades a whorehouse, kicks in doors, and fires bursts from her Thompson machine in at the participants. The crowning glory occurs at the end when one nun that Chavo raped actually shoots him in the groin and we see the replica of a shredded penis hit the carpet. Not content to leave this to our imagination, Chavo howls in agony and snatches up the fragment of his penis and stares in horror at it.
