The movie was made by Four Associates Ltd., the company of John Ashley and Eddie Romero. In December 1972, it was acquired by American International Pictures. The movie takes its inspiration from the story concept of shackling a black character and a white one together introduced by The Defiant Ones (1958). John Ashley says the movie was originally...
Feminism and sexuality
Black Mama White Mama, despite its exploitative nature, passes the Bechdel test[citation needed] and contains themes of female empowerment. Both of the movies' leads are strong women. Karen Brent is a guerrilla fighter and Lee Daniels masterminds a scheme to screw over the misogynistic pimp, Vic Cheng. Although Karen is the only female present in the guerrilla force, she is essential to their cause, as she is the only one that has the connections to the weapons dealers, and the only one that...
Black Power
Black Mama White Mamaalso contains elements of Black Power, as it was released during the middle of the Black Power era. The revenge that Lee Daniels gets on her former pimp is nothing short of Black Power, and "1973 marked the first time that audiences saw African American women in non-servitude roles." Lee also wears her hair in an Afro. As a "Killer Dame" (along with Tamara Dobson, Teresa Graves, Jean Bell, et al.), "It was a goodbye to the headscarves worn by Mammy and the wavy hair of th...
One advertisement for the movie included the tagline "Chicks in chains...and nothing in common but the hunger of 1,000 nights without a man!"
Box office
Ashley recalls being unhappy when AIP wanted to change the title to Black Mama White Mama. "[It was] really left field. I didn't care for it. As it turned out, that was the most successful theatrical movie I have ever done, in terms of hard dollars in my pocket."
Critical
The movie, like many blaxploitation movies, was a B-movie produced on a low budget and received mixed reviews. "So bad it's good", said the Los Angeles Times. Variety magazine said that "Performances ranged from bad to mediocre." Josiah Howard writes in Blaxploitation Cinema: The Essential Reference Guide that the movie was "a lively and well-done women's prison yarn", but that it "somehow never really hits its mark", largely because "the filmmakers do little to distance themselves from the t...
The soundtrack received praise. Howard comments, "Harry Bett's superior ambient music soundtrack (available on CD) is much more sophisticated than the movie that it was created for." 1.

The movie is screened in the John Sayles film Lone Star(1996). Sayles said "Even that [movie] is about people of different races being chained together whether they want to or not."
