I love this movie so much
Allison Davies
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Lucia Ayala
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

ILSA, THE TIGRESS OF SIBERIA, is the third film in the ILSA series I've watched and my favourite yet. That's not to say I particularly enjoyed it, but I am pleased to report that it doesn't just focus on senseless and sleazy torture like the previous movies in this series. Instead, it has an actual plot for once, alongside action sequences to recommend it.The storyline sees Ilsa now working at a remote Siberian prison camp where the inmates are routinely abused and killed (including by a tiger in one memorable moment). She sets her sights on one particular Russian agent, but he manages to escape her clutches when the camp is overthrown. Later, Ilsa and her chums are holed up in Canada, where she once more runs into the agent she's obsessed with punishing.There are a few torture and gore scenes in this film but they're relatively tame and if not tame then at least unrealistic. Most of the film seems to have been devised as a softcore flick, with tons of sex scenes involving Dyanne Thorne in various states of undress. She's certainly an arresting beauty, and her charms just about carry the film, at least until an arresting shoot-out at the climax which is handled adroitly. ILSA, THE TIGRESS OF SIBERIA is no classic but at least it's less offensive than the previous outings and has a better story.

Well, in comparison to its predecessors "She Wolf of the SS", "Harem Keepers of the Oil Sheiks" and "The Wicked Warden" this third sequel really lacks! Watched as an independent film however "Tigeress" can be quite funny - provided that you like this silly mixture of (harmless) torture scenes, pseudo-sadism, cheesy directed action sequences and a really dumb James Bond-like secret agent story! The best possibility to enjoy this film is his sexy and charismatic main actress Dyanne Thorne! Everyone of her appearances improve the whole movie, although her role as a sadistic chief of Russian prison camp Gulag 14 is way better than the one twenty years later as the leader of a Canadian brothel! My special advise: enjoy the (unfortunately quite short...) sex scenes in this film - Ilsa always needs to be satisfied by TWO men! - where this voluminous woman is always in full action! The rest of the film is only recommended when you´re a fan of the Ilsa-series!

Tigress starts out promising enough with Ilsa as the kommie kommander of a Siberian gulag. Between torturing political prisoners and feeding them to her tiger, the buxom goddess still finds time for some nightly romps with her rowdy guards and the results are often hilarious. Alas, proceedings take a turn for the worse when the scene shifts to a bordello in Montreal. I mean, when you think of all the gruesome settings in the Ilsa series: a Nazi P.O.W. camp, a Middle Eastern slave harem, an asylum in South America and said gulag, a Montreal bordello really pales in comparison. Furthermore, Ilsa's torture techniques are now performed via a (yawn...) mind control chamber. Instead of physically tormenting her victims, she inflicts psychological torture which results in several highly forgettable hallucinatory sequences. But the producers really missed the boat when they decided to play the latter half as a straight action drama with very little of the campy flair which made the series (and the first part of the movie) so entertaining. Another big mistake was to forego Ilsa's classic transformation from cold-hearted vixen to vulnerable lust-bunny. One of the most appealing (and humorous) aspects of her character was the fact that this femme fatale could be brought to her knees and made a love slave when the right "stud" came along. In Tigress, she's just a one-dimensional sadist from beginning to end. Also missing in action are Ilsa's prerequisite pair of lesbian henchwomen, which makes one wonder if the producers even bothered to watch the first two movies! Even the ending, when Ilsa gets her usual comeuppance, seems largely uninspired and comes across as if they simply ran out of ideas. All in all, Tigress is worthwhile viewing only for true fans of the series. To the uninitiated, I'd suggest Harem Keeper or She Wolf for your first taste of Ilsa's whip.

Good is of course a relative term when it comes to the (in)famous Ilsa-trilogy. But ILSA - TIGRESS OF SIBERIA is the best of a fairly rotten lot and has plenty of entertainment: graphic gore, softcore sex and cheesy action. Far less disgusting than the first film and better produced (and scripted) than the second. The ending is hilarious.
