Fury in the Tropics (1986)

Lina Romay stars as the proverbial prostitute with a heart of gold who lives and works in a bamboo-built brothel, regularly servicing the freedom fighters who stroll through. She falls in love with one of her customers, and she and one of her sister call girls are sent to a women’s prison, where they are promptly stripped and whipped in the prison yard in front of the other prisoners — the two are whipped with a riding crop more than fifty times! Shortly thereafter the women are stripped and hung by their wrists and then have their breasts and private areas poked by a sword. The women plot their escape, but cannot be saved from an incredibly brutal gang rape, even vicious by Franco’s standards and even more protracted than the similar scene in Franco’s WIP film “Ilsa, the Wicked Warden.” Yes, Jess certainly knows how to please his audience.
