The Sizzlin’ Something Weird Summer Challenge 2024: One Million AC/DC (1969)

Softcore Smorgasbord (August 4 – 10) All of the movies on this list have at one time or another been available through Something Weird Video. I’m sure I’ve missed some but many of them are still available on their website (until the end of 2024). These are their vintage softcore movies listed under categories with ridiculous names like: Nudie Cuties, Sexy Shockers, Sexo a-go-go, Twisted Sex, and Bucky Beaver’s Double Softies.

“See…Vala, the voluptuous cave babe! See…Mota, the mighty war-lard! See…Dino, the plastic-eating dinosaur!”

Directed by Ed De Priest — who was making adult films as Jules Martine all the way up to 1998 — and written by Akdon Telmig — which is one letter away from being Vodka Gimlet, which Ed Wood drank a lot of and yes, he wrote this one — One Million AC/DC is a movie where people are menaced by someone in an ape suit and a rubber dinosaur when they aren’t having making softcore love.

Stuntman Gary Kent is the leader of these cave people, it’s shot in Bronson Park and Gary Graver was running the camera. All of these facts may be more interesting than the movie. But man, who else other than Graver could work with Orson Welles and Wood, who wrote the phrase “Tyrannosaurus style” for this. Then again, the line “Nothing has changed, right down through the ages. Man has to kill. Man has to eat. Man has to have his woman.” is pretty solid.

You know who is listed as the historical consultants? Bob Cresse and Lee Frost. I laughed for about five minutes reading that.

This also has a lot of crossover with the casts of two movies from 1968, The Kiss Off and The Kill (which was directed and written by Graver).

If you can get past all of this, well, dark and unsexy sex, you will come to the realization that this is the same dinosaur toy that was in David L. Hewitt’s The Mighty Gorga.
