They Call Me Macho Woman! is a 1989 action film written and directed by Patrick G. Donahue and distributed by Troma Entertainment.
The story follows city woman Susan Morris (Debra Sweaney), who decides to escape her banal urban life and goes looking for a house in the country. Unfortunately, she's taken prisoner by a group of savage drug smugglers, headed by the ruthless Mongo (Brian Oldfield). After escaping their clutches, Susan is forced to transform herself into a fearsome warrior and extract her revenge on Mongo and his evil henchmen.
A lot of the original music in this film became trademark Troma songs and were used in a variety of films, including the Toxic Avenger sequels.
Tagline: Born to shop...she learned to kill!
Famous quotes containing the words call and/or macho:
“What large children we are
here. All over I grow most tall
in the best ward. Your business is people,
you call at the madhouse, an oracular
eye in our nest.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“As boys without bonds to their fathers grow older and more desperate about their masculinity, they are in danger of forming gangs in which they strut their masculinity for one another, often overdo it, and sometimes turn to displays of fierce, macho bravado and even violence.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
