UP!
DVD region 0. Arrow Films.

Up! was Russ Meyer's penultimate film, and is a bizarre effort which mixes the cartoonish sex and violence of Supervixens with nods to the more explicit hardcore films of the time (though Meyer avoids any XXX material). It's a lot less fun than Supervixens or Meyer's final effort Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens, but still has much going for it. Bad taste fans will be in heaven as Meyer throws in a gay Hitler (who is castrated by a piranha fish), chainsaw battles, and Kitten Natividad sitting in a tree as a Greek Chorus, gamely trying to hold the messy plot together while thrusting her tits and pussy at the camera.

The DVD is blissfully uncut and comes with new featurettes (one shot by your Striporama editor) on Kitten Natividad and Raven de la Croix.
