In some aspects, "The Abductors" is superior to its predecessor: the budget is obviously increased, even allowing for some helicopter shots, the dialogue (especially the banter between Ginger and her boss) is more witty and self-aware (there are, for example, references to James Bond and Ginger's frequent nudity), and Cheri Caffaro herself seems more confident in front of the camera this time around - even when she's not "nearly naked"! But the film drags, probably even more than "Ginger" (though it's 10 minutes shorter), and pretty much the only "action" Caffaro sees is of the sexual variety. Which is why the spirited Jennifer Brooks (AKA Laurie Rose) actually steals the show from her; at least she gets to do a brief judo exhibition. *1/2 out of 4.

Ginger (Cheri Caffero) is back once again infiltrating a kidnapping racket (apparently no one cared that she was a racist sociopath in the first one). Better than the first film, "Ginger", but what the hell could be worse??? So that's not a selling point. Most of the girls have breast so small they could pass for boy scouts. So nothing to rave about there. The only quasi-good looking one of the bunch is Jennifer Brooks. Gone are the racism elements. But it wouldn't be a Ginger film without the light S&M scenes. Don't get me wrong, this one is still crap, just crap that's not as repellent as the original.My Grade: D+ Eye Candy: Cheri Caffero, Gerie Bronson, Honey Well, Ined Som, Jennifer Brooks, and Jeremie Rain show breasts and bush

Three cheerleaders and a beautiful blonde beauty pageant winner mysteriously disappear(kidnapped) when a gang out to abduct beautiful young girls and sell them into bondage to middle-aged, grizzled business men operates at the beginning of this fun yet tasteless film. Like the first Ginger, The Abductors has the copious nudity, non-PC lingo, and, at its heart, Cheri Caffaro back again as Ginger. You know Ginger - the girl working for a detective agency right out of college with martial arts training and one heck of a bod. A bod you know you will get ample chances to view. While I didn't like this one quite as much as the first Ginger movie, it does mirror the style and flavor of that first film. William Grannel is back as Jason Varone with all the acting talent of a drying, freshly painted wall - yet his scenes with Caffaro are fun and flirtatious. Caffaro gives a much more steady performance in this film becoming very comfortable in Ginger's clothes(and out of them). There is quite a perverse angle to this film with the whole white slavery into bondage thing, a rape, and several soft-core sex scenes of basically forced consensual sex. Acting ranges from mediocre(Cafarro and Richard Smedley as the love interest for Ginger, and Patrich Wright as a heavy) to bad(Grannel and Laurie Rose as Carter Winston - I just got so sick of hearing that stupid name!) But likes it predecessor The Abductors is a whole lot of fun and a trip down that seventies lane with its far out clothes and a style of film totally lost in today's milquetoast PC era.

The Abductors: 8 out of 10: Lets face it some bad movies age better than others. From the wonderfully horrible fashion and hair worn by the leads to décor including shag carpets (that they actually shag on) and chintzy coconuts holding push pins. (in the bank presidents office no less) the Abductors is filled with seventies kitsch. It also has an attitude towards woman so politically incorrect they would burn down the theater today. (Great film to show during a Take Back the Night meeting just make sure you park away from the ensuing riot.) The Abductors is a bit like a feminist raison de ere. Like any good exploitation film there is a ton of nubile flesh on display. The Ginger films add bondage, rape and generally cruelty that separates it from the cheerleader and nurse pictures that were its competition at the seventies drive-in. In addition the girls are silicone free with tan lines to boot which I admit I find more appealing than the cookie cutter Playboy models of today's exploitation.Downsides include remarkably incompetent gunfights (the prop guns don't fire on cue) and the state police (who look Canadian for some reason) are out of a thirties gangster movie (Complete with a Tommy gun that smokes like a Cheech and Chong extra.) Strange pacing including a gratuitous drum solo and maraca-shaking scene. (No really Ginger brought her own maracas to the disco) and a lead actress Cheri Caffro who looks like a hooker a few years past her prime complete with pancake make-up (The other lead actress Jennifer Brooks is so hopelessly nubile Caffro looks like her mom.). Great flick to watch while the significant other is out of the house (preferably safely out of town.) The Ginger films like that other exploitation classic I Spit on Your Grave is a viewing pleasure best kept close to the vest.
