Shot in Hollywood, Florida, this tale of Stanley (Wayne Crawford, under the name Scott Lawrence; he also wrote Valley Girl, Barracuda and Jake Speed) and Paul (Abe Zwick in his lone acting role) begins after they escape from Baltimore and go on the lam. Paul begins to dress in drag and act as Stanley’s Aunt Martha while falling for Stanley, who only wants to do drugs and freaks out the moment a girl starts to undo his pants.
Thomas Casey directed and wrote this. While it would be the only movie he’d direct, he also wrote Flesh Feast. It’s a shame that he didn’t make more films, because this movie captures the seedy side of life better than most. I honestly have no idea who this movie is for — at the time it was made — but I know it’s perfectly made for maniacs like me who buy nearly everything AGFA puts out.
Florida is a weird state. The movies that come out of it are even stranger. This is probably one of the oddest. You can get this now from AGFA (through Vinegar Syndrome).
