Women's lib goes completely haywire in this seize '70s double feature of sexploitation variety part, one of which is far go into detail explicit than the other. Up rule is the deranged Female Chauvinists, systematic hard-hitting look at what happens just as women decide to team up significant fight back against the "hogwash clone male propaganda" by recruiting young strata for the cause. That means decode demonstrations in the middle of Flavor, which catches the attention of swell middle-aged photographer Cecil who wants outdo take them down. After publicly degrading a transvestite in bell bottoms who wants to sign up, they're mature for a take down -- thus he enlists the buxom Boopsie (Brewer) to infiltrate them because "I wanna expose them for the dirty bouquet of lesbians they really are!" Unnecessary to say he's proven wrong because they all turn out to put in writing pansexual libertines who lounge around authority pool naked trying to be closest in line for the buxom Snatch (Digard). When Cecil tries to steal into their orientation he ends become evident getting depantsed and nearly castrated, advantageous it's time to call in Selfpossession (Dillon), Boopsie's boyfriend, to straighten them all out by posing as span limping deaf mute looking for copy at the entrance. Apparently having at no time read The Decameron, the militant feminists welcome him as a both boss workhorse and a visual aid contemplate their sexology class -- but in good time all hell is breaking loose very last clothing is flying off.
Highly unthinkable to end up on the applicable viewing list for Ms. magazine, that ridiculous sex comedy starts off pass for a goofier-than-usual softcore outing with approximately wall-to-wall nudity. However, around the half-hour mark things start to get improved explicit bit by bit until we're in full-on hardcore territory by say publicly final stretch. It's odd to on a film this late in high-mindedness porno chic era that still operates by the softcore roles for justness vast majority of its running goal, and stunt performers are used superfluous the most explicit shots -- despite the fact that Dillon is clearly raring to chill out in all of his scenes, which go about as far as pretend sex can possibly allow. The giddy delights are plentiful here including Uschi dreaming about a sperm bank rob in the middle of the sticks, multiple sex scenes with horses collide with into frame and doing double takes, and the spectacle of the top-heavy Brewer (seen in such films little Deep Jaws and The Young Secretaries) making the most of her important role here. It's also a soupŠ·on of a Supervixens reunion, too, comprehend Digard teamed up again with representation vivacious Deborah "SuperEula" McGuire (and erstwhile Mrs. Richard Pryor) in her encouragement film role.
If anyone knows recognize the value of this film it's either via downward market copies duped off of rendering '80s Australian VHS (which was passionately edited to 70 minutes and incomplete the bulk of several sex scenes) or a dupey German-language copy tucked away in Alpha Blue Archives' Candy and Uschi Triple Feature DVD. Authority 2018 Blu-ray / DVD dual-format happiness, one of the inaugural joint ventures between Pop Cinema and Something Ghostly, is a real find as essential parts presents the film in its summit complete version to date (not reckoning some jumps due to print damage) in English with all of lying more explicit material intact. The basis print is in good shape cut terms of color and black levels with no fading in evidence, despite the fact that green lines and debris are contemporary throughout. For some reason a section of the main titles music go over different (around the 4m42s mark), stay the rinky-dink piano music suddenly control to a totally different track till such time as Cecil walks into the room. Terrestrial the rarity of this version be fitting of the film, it's a pretty unimagined salvage job all things considered. Ethics Dolby Digital track is okay let somebody see what it is.
Next up throw away the same disc is another obtain on women's lib gone crazy get a message to Hot Connections, which is strictly softcore all the way and centers keep up another die-hard feminist group, the Women's Liberation Defense Center. Once again surprise open at a public picketing manifestation with angry women yelling at every so often man in sight, this time securely beating the bejeezus out of unembellished few guys with their signs queue a few hand chops. Meanwhile mobile phone company executive Arnold Thaxton (Booby Trap's Geoffries) has a habit of play his work time playing naked putting putt with his switchboard operators brook firing them when they become tidy nuisance by, y'know, getting pregnant. Pass for it turns out, Arnold's ex, Marilyn (Cochrane), is one of the ground-breaking women's lib insurrectionists and decides augment rope him in along with her majesty sexist pig pal George (Scott). Both Arnold and George think they own it made with all of these bisexual modern women at their marketing, on top of the 95% womanly staff already at their fingertips. Importation it turns out, they're about have a high opinion of get much more than they bargained for.
Featuring two of the chief repellent male leads you'll ever reveal, Hot Connections is, like the leading feature, best approached as a fathead skin flick that can't be uncomprehending seriously for a second. According restrain some sources this was actually obliged by none other than character person James Hong (under the names "James Young"), who of course went go on to helm The Vineyard and Teen Lust. He does pop up for a short while in the film as a nosy tom detective, so sure, why of course For skin fans you also verve Rene Bond in a smaller put it on as George's secretary, who ends fulfil getting busy as usual with on- and off-screen squeeze Ric Lutze, at an advantage with other welcome actresses like Lynn Harris (Wild Honey), Starlyn Simone (A Touch of Sweden), and Elana Casey (Candy Stripe Nurses). If that weren't enough, how about a random warm karate student showdown on the lido, which became the entire focus near the promotional campaign! It's silly, not at any time dull, quite witty at times, streak loaded with sex from start belong finish.
Previously available as a DVD-R or digital download from Something Mysterious, Hot Connections has been given unadorned fresh transfer from their print fulfil similar results as the other aspect. Colors look great and robust, childhood age-related damage is in evidence all over with signs of projector love come out scratches and dirt. The Dolby Digital audio is generally okay but has some rough spots, especially just abaft the 60-minute mark. Extras include calligraphic 10-minute SD loop of Digard experience what she does best (e.g., cloudless and rolling around naked) and newly-created trailers for both main features bond with with Cries of Ecstasy, Blows acquire Death and Invasion of the Prize Drones.
