Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

My buddies and I are always talking about how all women's prison films are the same. You know, the lesbian warden, the shower scenes and random acts of female humiliation. This is a bad movie, but it sure worked hard at being something more. A WPF with a love story is quite rare. Set in the future where there seems to be a shortage of shower facilities, this movie has a lot of forced inspection and clothes changing scenes instead. There is a hosing down scene that would qualify as epic. There is an above average whipping scene. I would add this to your WPF library as evidence the genre can still expand. I was able to get through this thing without great pain just to see where it would go. The women are attractive and the manual labor scenes are appealing. Working so hard in a rock mine with skimpy outfits would surely lead to many nipple injuries. I don't know what the producers paid to get the Chained Heat 3 subtitle, but I am glad they did. I don't think I would have purchased it without it. I would not put this movie in the "so bad it's good" category, but I would put it in the "whoh-what the hell was that" category.

This is no doubt an excellent movie, but if those who watched the film would know it was to fast paced and never showed the story of what was happening in the mine. I found the "sequel" and is not part of the Chained Heat Series but the sequel is Bound Heat Chained Rage. Without it you do not get the whole story.The other thing Bound Heat Caged Rage is about the thriving for power. Whie only one wanted freedom. You need Bound Heat Chained Rage. Then you will have a better appreciation of this film. And, you will see it is not part of the Chained Heat Series.The reason why I believe it got linked was to appeal to the US Audience since it deals with White Slavery and not at all with prison in this post apocalyptic world. And, White Slavery is a very sensitive subject which most movies try avoiding.I highly suggest you watch Bound Heat Chained Rage and you will fully understand this movie. Since it is fast paced and the studio at least kept the movie fast paced and was easy to watch and understand without Bound Heat Chained Rage getting in the way.But, both endings are extremely different and the only difference is they kept Bound Heat Chained Rage have small sequences from Hell Mountain and kept both movies fast paced. With little interruption. This is one of the best sequence of films I have seen.But, Chained Heat 3 Hell Mountain by no means after seeing Bound Heat Chained Rage a Chained Heat Series.

Heck, I thought it was great - one of the most erotic films I've ever come across. I mean, you don't rent something like this for the plot, do you? The whole concept - of nubile young women working as rock miners in the most ridiculously impractical (i.e. revealing) outfits - was brilliant. I sure as hell wasn't rooting for Jack Scalia's rescue team. Please bear in mind that in England, where 'the real thing' is not to be found in video stores, this is generally as 'adult' as it gets. Having said that, I'd rather see this movie than any hardcore flick - this was far more erotic. The director and I seem to share a very similar taste in camera angles! And the hosing-down scene was awesome.Incidentally, this movie was known in England as "Chained Heat 3: The Horror of Hell Mountain". A sequel/remake has just come out on video: "Chained Heat 2001", which I believe is known in the States as "Rage of the Innocents". It's even worse than this one (in terms of quality film-making) and re-uses a fair bit of footage from "Hell Mountain". Having said that, if you like one you'll like the other.

Well the name, Hell mountain, was a cool name I thought, and after reading the story in the the papers I decided to tape it, bad mistake! After watching it for about 5 minutes I realised that 3 of the minutes had been sex scenes, strange, but ok this might work out good, it didn't. The unmotivated sex and nudity happened more often and the cheap action I was hoping for collapsed under the strength of semi-naked (ugly) girls, and the post-catastrophe action movie turned into a pathetic soft core film.But if you are really tired (or drunk), then you might laugh at the priceless actors (specially the couple in latex).
