Summary: Oh so bad, it's funny
Review: A friend of mine gave me this as a gift -- I'm not sure if I should thank him or not. Oh man is this bad. I've only been able to sit through it once, with said friend for moral support. On a funny side note, I used to work with a guy who I wanted to see "Kentucky Fried Movie" (which is an INTENTIONALLY funny film). When I brought that movie in to work for him to borrow, I also brought in this one, as a joke to lend him. Well, he watched THIS but never watched "Kentucky Fried Movie". Go figure.

Summary: I Felt a Little Booby-Trapped...
Review: After years of searching for this one on video, I was lucky enough to find two. This past year I upgraded my collection to DVD and thought this would be a lost cause to find, but YES! I found it! With little effort I might add. I first saw this movie at the drive-in as a kid playing with "Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS." What a double (and do i mean DOUBLE) feature.

This film exists onlt to show off its stars endowments. She uses them to seek revenge on her husbands killers. A great concept. Ex-porno star Harry Reams (who is equally endowed a little more south) helps her seek revenge. The acting is wooden, almost zombie like. The direction is nill, but with a sense of a documentary-style of the 70s. Thats OK. This is a revenge flick, much in the same vein as "I Spit On Your Grave," and "Don't Mess With My Sister."

Its full of campy charm. Not much else really, but it is like a car wreck. You can't help but watch because its so repulsive and oddly entertaining at the same time. Not in everyones taste, but those into cult films and drive-in sexploitation fare of the 1970s should find this rare entry in the "Something Weird Video" line will want this in their collection.

Summary: God, she looks unhappy
Review: Chesty Morgan (real name Lillian Wilczkowsky but billed here as
simply Zsa Zsa) and her 73" bust made their movie debut in this
cult sleaze classic by schlock-shock director Doris Wishman. In
this sexploitation tale Chesty uses her gargantuan chesties to
smother the bad guys who killed her lover. What a way to go! At
least it's a novel idea -- the only one in this bizarre film. The
image and sound quality are pretty good.

This DVD has few things to recommend it except the movie itself.
Just a theatrical trailer for the movie and its sequel, Double Agent
73, a chapter index, a silent montage of posters of other Wishman
efforts, and a short subject called "Breast Development" which
looks like it was transferred from a poor quality 16mm film from
the `50s. It's rather tepid but of some interest.

The main interest is, of course, Chesty herself and her incredible
endowments, which she displays here at every opportunity. Don't
miss this one, if you're a fan of really huge "talents," or of
`70s-style fashions -- remember those bell-bottom pants?

Summary: 5 Stars for Something Wierd's Chutzpah to Put it Out !
Review: Don't get me wrong folks... there's no doubt about it... this film is a bonified stinker... however, its bonified stinkers like this that can lighten up any dull evening at home (or even better, if you're that age, at the dorm) - - just get out a few beers, pop this one in the player... and let the jaws drop and lude conversations flow. - - Though Ed Wood is often described as the worse film director of all time (and John Waters achieved his greatness by trying to be) - - after seeing this film, I'm sure you'll agree that there's Bad as in Ed Wood and Dwain Esper... and downright awful as epitomized by the late great Doris Wishman. - - But don't get me wrong : I'm glad she walked the planet... she tred gound few others had the guts to. Let's face it : while perhaps a John Waters, Russ Meyer or Pedro Almodovar might have had the guts to make a tongue in cheek film about a lady who's mountainous boobies were her deadly weapons, who but Doris Wishman could have done it so... well so *un*campily... This is a typical trademark of Doris Wishman's films... - - While an Ed Wood Film will make you laugh, Waters puke and Russ Meyer run for a cold shower, expect none of this from a Doris Wishman film... no matter how much nudity or violence there is... no flinching, no gasps... and no woodies... yet, despite the absence of this, your jaws will drop at times... and that my friend is art... unintentional perhaps... but art nonetheless... Rumor has it, incidentally, that Chesty has gotten a breast reduction and is now a serious stage actress (...*not*)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Talk about your guilty pleasures!
Review: Doris Wishman's mind-numbingly bizarre showcase for the gargantuan talents of veteran stripper Chesty Morgan cannot by any objective standard be called a good film, but it remains hilariously watchable. When Chesty's boyfriend (make that, sleazy middle-aged guy friend) is murdered, she takes revenge using the weapons God gave her. And yes, they are definitely nature's and not a surgeon's handiwork; her staggering frontal development saggingly shows the effects of gravity and every minute of Chesty's then 40-something years. The sight of our fleshy, blank-faced heroine raising her flabby arms and somnambulently lurching towards her victims like a classic movie monster before smothering them to death in her yawning cleavage is not something you'll soon forget. Multiple viewings are recommended in order to fully appreciate the hideous 70's fashions (dig those shoes!), tacky motel room "sets", tinny post-synch sound and hilariously inept camera work, all of which combine to form an ineffable grindhouse gestalt. Ms. Wishman may not have been a competent filmmaker, but she was certainly an unforgettable one.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Deadly Weapons
Review: It's ok for the time period that it was made. The acting is ok and I really think there was a plot but the sound wasn't good on my dvd to make a rash decision. It was an entertaining movie and would recommend renting it first before buying so you don't get disappointed.
