The best thing about Russ Meyer’s movies is the [...] He always chooses women with big sexy buxoms. And what I like the most in this movie is the positions of sex, for me always prefer the classic passion (woman in the bottom) which you will see a lot in this film
Rating: 5 / 5

This review is based on the film image QUALITY, NOT the film itself. Meyer’s classic films NEED to be restored by Criterion or another major player, the negatives are withering away in neglect, but the creeps who conned Russ Meyer (when he was suffering from Alzheimers before his death) – his home care provider and gardener, no less – into willing them his films (and everything else) stubbornly refuse, by default, to license these films to any bigger outfits for restoration by asking for ridiculous amounts of money (we’re talking millions upon millions) for the RM catalog (JUST for DVD licensing rights, mind you!). Send them an e-mail at RM Films about the terrible quality of these releases (and the ridiculously high price tag for such) and see what kind of bizzarre a**holish passive-agressive response you get, these two are clueless nimrods who have no regard for these films (it’s actually been reported that they dislike the films…and their fans – nice). It makes my blood boil!

Wanted to see if it would play on my DVD – USA reg.1? – it does.

This is not so much a review of the movie (it is a good, but not great Meyer film) as it is a note that the disc should play in US DVD players. Even though this disc is listed as non-USA format, I have played it on 3 cheapie DVD players (all $50 or less)from 3 different manufacturers. All of the players were region 1 DVD players.
Anyhow, I just thought I would mention this in case any US customers were thinking about picking this film up.

The story takes place in the Nevada desert… Frank Bolger is a conspicuous man in the community who also happens to run a drug-smuggling ring on the side… The local sheriff is in on it, acting as his hit man.
After a hot scene with one of the local women, Bolger orders the sheriff to eliminate the Apache (John Milo), an Indian who has been cutting into their marijuana sales… The sheriff reluctantly agrees, takes the boss’s woman home, and relieves his frustrations on her before trying to carry the Indian away…
Meyer does indeed have a fascination for very richly gifted women, and this film is no exception… The scene where Bolger talks the nurse into giving him a body massage is a classic erotic tease… Also, Meyer has very cleverly juxtaposed a sensual lesbian scene against a bloody battle between the sheriff and the Indian… But much of the sex is unmotivated… Meyer cuts so quickly, however, that it is more of a lack of respect tease than an exploitive treatment of sex…
Larissa Ely (Raquel) is wonderful as the steamy, sweaty, desert young woman… Linda Ashton (Cherry) is delightful as the sexy nurse, but Charles Napier steals the show as the violent, explosive, cruel of a sheriff…
