I watched The Big Bird Cage (1972) recently. It's got everything. Pam Grier plays a revolutionary who infiltrates an women's prison camp in order to bust everyone out. In the director's commentary, Jack Hill mentions that due to the large number of copy-cat women's prison exploitation flicks that came out after The Big Doll House (1971), he decided to make an over-the-top caricature of the genre for The Big Bird Cage. Not sure if that's really possible considering the genre itself. But The Big Bird Cage has revolutionaries, prostitutes, a prison shower scene, lots of shooting and explosions, mud wrestling, knife fighting, and more.
He also mentions that it was his dad that designed and created the large "bird cage" mill that was a centerpiece of the prison camp. He also designed Cinderella's castle at Disneyworld, if you can believe it.
