The Breast Of Russ Meyer: His Top 9 Movies

3. Supervixens (1975)

Screen Shot 2013-07-20 at 11.24.14 Weedy Clint works in a petrol garage owned by missing Nazi - Martin Bormann (who was Hitler's secretary). He has a nagging, highly sexed bitch of a wife who phones him constantly, badgering him to come home and satisfy her needs. Clint has dealings with a pneumatic lady called SuperLorna at work. He leaves SuperAngel mid phone call and SuperLorna picks up the phone and says my favourite line in any movie ever - "Can't wait to strap on your groovy old man!". A bit pissed off, SuperAngel gets local cop Harry in the sack but he cannot get it up. Taking this as the most egregious rejection of her "beautiful body", she begins to harp at Harry, enraging him to the point where he punches her in the belly and smacks her face. She scrambles, terrified to the bathroom where she screams at Harry to get out or she will phone the police. Harry replies "You got all the police you ever gonna need gal!". Whenever Harry has trouble opening the bathroom door, he is subjected to more abuse from SuperAngel. This maddens him to the point where he busts down the door, decks SuperAngel in the face and stomps on her in the bathtub, finishing her off by chucking a radio in and watching her fry as a result. The whole trailer is burned down but Clint cannot get an alibi for being in the pub as SuperHaji the bartender is annoyed he turned down her advances (Clint is irresistible to every woman whose path he crosses) Forced on the run, Clint meets all sorts of colourful characters. SuperCherry practically rapes him and her boyfriend is offended when he resists her advances. Forced to escape into farmland, Clint works for an old man in the countryside. He is pestered by the old man's beautiful wife SuperSoul and is nearly 'raped' several times until he has to flee. He comes across a motel owner and his deaf daughter SuperEula who persuades him to go to the desert and have sex with her. Her father chases Clint. In a roadside diner, Clint runs into SuperVixen, an incarnation of SuperAngel, but this time gentle and willing to please. They fall in love but bad cop Harry is in hot pursuit. Will the couple make it? SuperVixens is a very funny sex romp as we watch Clint trying to avoid all of these busty babes and their massive libidos. The scene at the beginning of the movie - the death of SuperAngel is extremely brutal and hard to watch. It has a nasty streak that doesn't sit well in the film which is predominantly a farcical sex caper. Meyer's usual trademarks and motifs are in evidence here with the movie running at a frenetic pace. Weak men and strong Amazonian women are left to duke it out in a battle of the sexes war. Meyer's favourite Nazi - Martin Bormann puts in a customary appearance as well. The film is hilarious and must be up there as one of the most entertaining Meyer films.

My first film watched was Carrie aged 2 on my dad's knee. Educated at The University of St Andrews and Trinity College Dublin. Fan of Arthouse, Exploitation, Horror, Euro Trash, Giallo, New French Extremism. Weaned at the bosom of a Russ Meyer starlet. The bleaker, artier or sleazier the better!
