Stars Catherine Oxenberg with Jeff Fahey as her terrible lawyer and Louise Fletcher as the corrupt warden. The setup for this is dumb. Oxenberg is hot but acting challenged. Like a Lifetime movie with several servings of boobs and lots of unintentional laughs.

I liked when they went to Club Lava, which you can tell is heavy metal because they have a lava lamp. Also features; Martin Landau, Tim Conway Jr, Dawn Wildsmith, Martine Beswick and Michelle Bauer as "shower girl". Special shout out to Lauren Hertzberg who played "Children with groceries". She has a fantastic IMDb profile picture.

Features: terrible songs, goofy hijinks, cousin on cousin sexual tension, pale Canadian hotties, and of course... occasional boobs. My favorite was when the head ho was teaching the non-hos how to ho.

The last film of Claudia Jennings. She died in a car crash two months after it was released.

Starts in Chicago, where you get to see thrilling landmarks like a Walgreens. It then shifts to L.A. where a prostitute stabs a kid (never followed up on). 2 ladies smoking weed out of your uncle's pipe. And a totally cool Suzuki Samurai. The only actor I recognized was the ultimate man Robert Z'Dar. Trailer in comments.

Some fun IMDb trivia:

In an interview with the Times-Picayune in March of 2000, Ronald Tanet, who played Ted Watkins, shared his thoughts on the film. "Look, they paid me six grand to make an ass of myself in public and I usually do that for free."

In 1976, legendary director/huckster Donn Davison made a deal with small time New Orleans film distributor Jack Weis. Weis had released a voodoo-tinged, PG rated exploitation film that failed completely. Davison conceived the idea of the naked priestess Damballa and planned to direct the footage himself. He auditioned a few local actresses and ended up hiring Maureen Ridley, who had absolutely no inhibitions or hesitation to performing totally nude. Once he saw how relaxed she was being naked in front of the crew and actors, he added a few other scenes to get her out of her clothes. He then edited that footage into the original film.

According to imdb, "Originally rated "NC-17" by the MPAA. The rating was changed to "R" on appeal". Maureen Flannigan was a child star in the sitcom "Out of this World" and took this role to break out of her "family friendly" persona. Well it worked. In this movie she smokes, swears, gets naked, has sex and fires a shotgun. Oh, and her dad is the hard ass police commissioner. Special shout out to the Bikini Carwash Company poster and the Shenanigans restaurant. Trailer in comments.

Shot on video ✔️. Casio soundtrack ✔️. Tons of aerobics/karate montages ✔️. Long haired hero in a Canadian tuxedo ✔️. Ethnically diverse gang who's leader is a pudgy Brooklyn dude with a lisp ✔️.

My favorite character was the slutty brunette aerobics student who openly hits on karate man directly in front of the lead.

A sampling of this movies greatness in the comments.

Some random thoughts: This movie is highly entertaining with non-stop hijinks. Karen Black and Martin Mull are great as the parents who adopt the kid. Features Kimmy Robertson's (Honey I Shrunk the Kids) only (brief) nude scene. Also has Stephen Stucker (Airplane), Edy Williams (was married to Russ Meyer) and a young Pamela Adlon. Trailer in comments.

Like a lot of bad flicks, the supporting cast outshines the leads. Larry Miller is great as a Senator who's sexbot is missing. Donald Faison and Angela Kinsey are fun as religious parents. Anthony Anderson and Danny Masterson are fine as MIB government agents hunting the bot. My favorite character was the teen's chartreuse Geo Prism. There's also a Blade Runner rip-off scene that made me laugh.

A central story is a sorority "loser party" where the girls must bring societies rejects, ie; a nerd, gay, Muslim, handicapped, etc... Yeesh. There are some fun supporting performances from John Goodman, Rachel Dratch and Heather Matarazzo.

The doc has interviews with: the cast, crew (both of them), Roger Corman, Andy Sidaris, Julie Strain and Wynorski's mom among others.

My favorite was the best friend's girl who drinks, steals and is um, affectionate.

Watching this, it really hit home how much acting is a skill. Madsen with minimal effort was much better than all the "no names" in this. C. Thomas Howell isn't given much to do as Madsen's good guy lawyer. There's a big reveal at the end that had me rolling. Shot in 2011 but didn't get released until 2018.

A sampling of my reactions: "Yeesh", "oof", "come on", "oh my god", "what the hell", "hey tits!" Lloyd Kaufman has a shitty cameo as himself. This movie felt like Kaufman let some Mobsters idiot nephew make a movie for a (not very much) money laundering scheme.

My favorite was when the topless girls in the dressing room were having a discussion about gratuitous nudity in movies. Features Playmate, Fembot and 2 time US Pro-Am Ballroom Dance champion Barbara Moore, Shauna O'Brien and Anastasia Rova who reminded me of Mrs. Reb Brown, Cisse Cameron. Also has music/movie padding by The Stray Cats wannabe band The Ultimatics.

Written, directed and starring Lorenzo Doumani, who's main claim to fame is that his father partially financed "The Cotton Club". An all star cast including: Leo Rossi, Lou Ferrigno, Sherman Hemsley, Roddy Piper, Larry Linville, Erik Estrada, Debbe Dunning, Pat Morita, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Michael Berryman, Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr., Ab Vigoda in drag as the "Fairy Godfather", and of course... Frank Stallone.

Some amazing IMDb trivia, "The cast includes both Abe Vigoda and Erik Estrada, who were respectively the top-billed stars of the shows Fish (1977) and CHiPs (1977)."
