Several women led by the super saucy and shameless femme fatale Toni (robustly played with lip-smacking wicked relish by buxom blonde bombshell Rita Alexander) are reunited at a motel. The gals devise a daring plot to steal the King of Sex's crown during Mardi Gras.
Director Dale Berry relates the enjoyably sordid (albeit barely coherent) story at a snappy pace, maintains a blithely sleazy tone throughout, and delivers oodles of fairly raunchy soft-core couplings and tasty bare distaff skin. However, it's the scorching presence of Rita Alexander that gives this picture an extra sizzling kick: Whether she's balancing a wine glass on her ample bosom or admiring her topless reflection in a mirror, Mrs. Alexander sure knows how to put on quite a tantalizing show. In addition, a foxy stripper bumps and grinds for all it's worth, there's lively footage of Mardi Gras, and the climactic exciting foot chase and shootout with the police in a cemetery comes complete with a real corker of a surprise bummer ending. The groovy Latino garage-rock soundtrack hits the right-on rousing spot as well. A total trashy blast.
Plot summary
Three women who haven't seen each other for years meet at a motel to talk about what they've done since they were together, and also to plan a heist of the King of Sex's crown during the upcoming Mardi Gras carnival. They pull the heist and are pursued by relentless detectives, and they must use their feminine charms to escape incarceration.

HOT THRILLS AND WARM CHILLS is a former acquisition from Something Weird now given a fresh lease of life on Amazon Prime. As usual, Prime in their infinite wisdom have seen fit to excise all of the nudity from this movie, leaving it a boring and pointless talky drama. This black and white feature features a trio of women sitting around in a bedroom and chatting, while they occasionally dance and bed men to boot. They talk about planning a heist, but nothing much ever comes of that discussion.
Sex or Crime?
"Hot thrills and warm chills" brings together three young ladies, once a formidable gang, nowadays separated and unhappily married. When they finally reunite, they soon come up with a plan of stealing an expensive crown to finance them a better lifestyle independent of their lame husbands.
The movie is settled somewhere between naked skin and what is supposed to be a thriller. Sadly, you hardly see any of the well planned coup actually happening, rather you learn most about it from the girls discussing their plans on the day before. The end then leads to a hectic chase and to be honest, I'm not quite sure if I got it right, which is a bit unusual for a rather simple film like this. In the end it is neither "just" a sex pic, nor is it a proper thriller. It remains quite harmless throughout the whole play-time but probably still remains nasty for its time. The acting is a bit bumpy at times, at several occasions the actresses stumble over their lines but it wasn't all too disturbing.
All in all I think that you could have created a better movie with this particular story. I like the overall sexual energy of the film, but if those parts and the ones that are supposed to carry the story would have been balanced better, this could have actually been quite a decent attempt.
