  • Hell Comes To Frogtown

    Hell Comes To Frogtown

    Set in a post-apocalyptic future where radiation has sterilised most of the human race and also created a race of mutant frog people, Roddy “Rowdy” Piper plays ‘Hell’- a surviving drifter who is one of the rare fertile men left on the planet.

    He’s picked up by a female-led government faction charged with repopulating the human race, and forced to sign a contract to have sex with and fertilise as many women as possible- for humanity’s sake! (I realise that so far this sounds like a porno but I promise it’s not).

    Hell is fitted with an electronic chastity belt-type device marked “Property of Provisional Government” that’s rigged to explode if he strays too far from his sexy female guard Spangle. Spangle is trained in the art of seduction, and charged with making sure he fulfils his contract (Played by Sandahl Bergman whom you may recognise from Conan the Barbarian and Red Sonja).

    Trouble brews when a harem of fertile women from a border town are kidnapped by mutant frogs and turned into sex slaves by the evil Commander Toty. It’s up to Hell and his sexy guards to rescue them, so he can literally bone them all! (Sorry, still not a porno).

    Hell and Spangle infiltrate Toty’s palace by dressing Spangle in bondage gear and pretending that she’s Hell’s prisoner. They head to the bar with plans to do a fake trade so they can sneak into the harem, but their plans go awry when Bull, a particularly nasty frog with an eyepatch (because he’s evil) steals Spangle away, leaving Hell to attempt a daring rescue while also staying in range of her transponder so his balls don’t explode.

    Along the way he meets an exotic dancing frog mutant named Arabella who has the hots for him (since his reputation as a baby maker precedes him) and he briefly considers a tryst with her as long as she wears a sack over her head. (More bondage porno undertones).

    Meanwhile the for-real-kidnapped Spangle starts her initiation into the harem. She is forced to dance for her life- the dance of the three snakes! Despite no-one ever teaching her the right dance moves, she totally wings it using her seductive arts, and soon finds out why it’s called the dance of the three snakes.

    In true kick-ass Rowdy Roddy style he shows up right in the nick of time with a big gun, to rescue Spangle and his future baby mammas from Toty’s palace.

    They flee into the desert toward the border with their bad-ass getaway driver and fellow guard Centinella (Cec Verrell) while Commander Toty pursues them in his Mad Max- style tank. Little does Hell know that an enemy from his past is also about to cross their paths. Will he ever get to complete his contract to impregnate the women, and canoodle with Spangle, or is the continuation of the human race (and his love life) doomed?

  • Buster Crabbe: Buck Rogers in 1939

    Buster Crabbe: Buck Rogers in 1939

    Gee Golly Gosh Buster Crabbe was a babe back in his day! The 1930’s actor & Olympic gold medalist swimmer was the only actor to star as each of the top three pulp heroes of his time- Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, and Tarzan. Considering my recent obsession with everything related to Buck Rogers’ in the 25th Century (after discovering the 1979/1980 series remastered on BluRay, in which an older-yet-still-spunky Crabbe appears in one episode) I gleefully tracked down and consumed the 12 part 1939 movie serial in which he starred.  (more…)

    Buck Rogers’ “70’s Porno Style” Opening Credits (Theatrical Release)

    The year is 1979.. Before the TV series, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (starring Gil Gerard & Erin Gray) premiered in cinemas. The theatrical release later became the pilot of the TV series, with a few notable differences; the best of which was a “70’s porno-style opening sequence” which never made it into the TV show.

  • Barbarella’s Zero-G Striptease

    Barbarella’s Zero-G Striptease

    Today’s post is dedicated to Barbarella’s zero-gravity striptease! It was the first zero-gravity striptease ever shown on film. And since it’s also the opening sequence of my favourite movie Barbarella (known in some releases as Barbarella: Queen of The Galaxy). I thought it would make an appropriate first post for my new blog. Welcome! Here are some 1960’s space boobs…

    This famous scene takes place inside the fur-lined cockpit of a really groovy spaceship, owned by 5- star double-rated Astro Navigatrix Barbarella (played by a young Jane Fonda). In the year 40000, the universe has been “pacified for centuries”. Humanity’s neuroses have apparently been conquered, and love is the only rule.

    Having presumably just been for a spacewalk, Barbarella slowly loses her spacesuit piece by piece, while gleefully enjoying her own body floating in weightlessness. For her, undressing is a pleasurable act of self-love, as no-one is around to witness her (except for us and our ancient, barbaric neurosis, but don’t tell her that).

     

    1960’s psychedelic music plays in the background…
    “Barbarella, psychedella…
    There’s a kind of cockleshell about you…”
    (What does that mean?!)

    To create the effect of weightlessness, the cockpit set was rebuilt on its side, with a large sheet of plexiglass on top which Jane writhed around on as the camera filmed down into the cockpit. Aah the days before CGI… things felt so much more ‘real’ (even when they weren’t!)

     

    Barbarella twists and turns in the zero-gravity while slowly and methodically peeling off layer upon layer of her spacesuit until it’s revealed that she is completely naked. Apparently in the future there’s also no need for underwear. Only the fonts of the opening credit titles hide her modesty (to varying degrees of success).

    Suddenly, her viewscreen beeps- there’s an incoming message! Reaching downward she hits a big button on the fur-lined console which restores gravity, sending her falling softly into the thick shagpile with a squeal of delight.

     

    Viewscreen on: it’s the President of Earth! Barbarella offers to quickly slip on some clothing, but the President replies with “Don’t trouble yourself…This is an affair of state…” (exactly what kind of work does Barbarella do for the government?)

    The President warns Barbarella that their peace is now threatened by a renegade scientist named Durand-Durand (who was also the inspiration for the 80’s band) who ran away to Tau Ceti and created a weapon called a Positronic Ray.

    “Weapon? Why would anyone want to invent a weapon?” Asks a naked Barbarella in wide-eyed wonderment. “The universe has been pacified for centuries.”
    “As far as we know. Yet we know nothing of Tau Ceti or its inhabitants” warns the President.
    “You mean they could still be living in a primitive state of neurotic irresponsibility?”.
    “Precisely. And if they learn from this young scientist…the secret of the Positronic Ray…they will be able to shatter the loving union of the universe”.
    “That might mean archaic insecurity…”
    “And war.”
    “You mean selfish competition and…”
    “I mean war.”
    “Bloody conflict among entire tribes…I don’t believe it.”
    “Neither do I. But we can’t take a chance. Something must be done. Yes. You’re the girl who must do it.”
    “Why me?”
    “I have no armies or police. I can’t spare the presidential band. Plus, you’re a 5-star Astro-Navigatrix. Your mission then: Find Durand-Durand…and use your incomparable talents to preserve the security of the stars…and our own mother planet.”

    We soon find out what Barbarella’s “incomparable talents” are when she takes her fur-lined spaceship on all sorts of wild adventures which usually involves her removing more pieces of clothing. (Sensing a theme here?)

    (Below: The President teleports over some weapons/possible sex toys for Barbarella to take on her dangerous mission…)

    LOVE.
