I have no idea who this is for; porno chic was long over, this is softcore, and the jokes are, at best, not very funny. Maybe it was an attempt to make an even dirtier Kentucky Fried Movie. I mean, I know it’s for me, but I’m one person, and I was seven when it […]

I mean, how does a softcore director get […]
Produced and directed by Roger Corman, this movie was originally a double feature with Beast from Haunted Cave. When it aired on TV two years later, director Jack Hill added a new prologue to extend its runtime.
