verbusen This film from the first 5 minutes you know is bad. Bad as in totally incompetent bad. Bad as in something that sets back movie making in an Ed Wood kind of way, so bad that Coleman Francis if he had not killed himself 11 years earlier would have been involved in this. As a matter of fact this has a real "Night Train To Mundo Fine" quality to it. The sad thing though is that this film had a budget 1,000 times as much and it still is just as bad. I'm giving it a 1 out of 10 because it really deserves it, but if you are looking for a bad film to watch as a comedy I would give this a 10, it made me laugh out loud all on it's own. Of course I watched it as an MST3K episode but the times I laughed the loudest had nothing to do with their riffing, it was the film itself. I am also giving this an above average MST3K episode and one well worth watching, not sure it's a top 10 but it's definitely a top 30 episode. I found it much more enjoyable to watch then MST3K's "Mitchell" which I thought was just boring except for the ending which was very funny. I can't believe I was a Joe Don Baker fan all these years, shows you what little I know in life. If you want to watch Joe Don stay with his stuff made in the 70's like Charley Varrick and The Outfit, stuff where he is NOT the lead like he was in Mitchell (unless it's Walking Tall).

craiger-6 What reviewers and MST3K left out is the best part (and only memorable scene) of this otherwise dreadful movie: There is a very good rape-in-the-shower scene committed by the bad guy (Ben Gazzara look-alike) on Maria (as mentioned, killed later through T.J.'s ineptitude). Perhaps rape is too strong a word, "prison mating ritual" may be more appropriate. The background behind this chance, yet forced meeting is the mobster who is hiding "Ben Gazzara," introduces him to the girls hanging out at his pool. The 30-ish blonde disses him, but our villain must be quite smitten by her, because the courtship is on at that point. His first move is to attempt drowning her, until his mafia don benefactor tells him to knock it off. Kind of like the girl in high school you didn't like, but still wanted to have carnal knowledge of anyway... Let's just say, he catches UP with her in the cabana later.

stryder1 I guess this goes to prove that Joe Don Baker will do anything for a buck. The concept of the film wasn't very good to start with. This movie has so many bad things about it I don't know where to start. The acting is horrible. The cinematography is marginal at best. The soundtrack was pretty bad. The score is terrible. There's a reason why this movie ended up on Mystery Science Theater 3000. I voted before I wrote this and I cannot believe that 9 people actually thought this "film" is excellent. They must have liked the two go-go dancers. Final justice would be if they locked this stinker in the film vault outside Wichita and never let anyone see it again! A 1 out of 10 rating is far better than this deserves.

lurch394 The funniest parts of their spoof of this stinker of a movie?The parade, which led to the "Goosio" skit.The stripper who kept her back to the audience: "She's the Miles Davis of strippers!"Joe Don in a crowd and the 'bots singing "Everybody's Talkin' At Me"!
