A dirty hippie goes to Golden Gate Park (“This park has swings, and better yet—Swingers!”) and does his “Pied Piper bit”. By that, I mean he blows on his pan flute, mesmerizes a couple of babes, and has them follow him home. He then gets them stoned and gives them LSD before they undress (VERY slowly) and make out. Once the drugs REALLY kick in, they are joined by another gal who initiates a psychedelic body painting orgy. Eventually, things start getting weird once a snake shows up looking for a good time. (You know there’s always that one asshole who brings a snake to an orgy.)
The hippie’s constant narration sounds like Rod Serling reading Timothy Leary, and while much of it is unnecessary, there are a few funny lines. Halfway through, one of the women takes over the narrating duties as slowly, more and more psychedelic effects begin to be superimposed over the action. Some of the effects are typical, like the kaleidoscopic lights, but some of the surreal imagery is surprisingly effective (like the scene where “the guru” crawls after one of his conquests in a room full of balloons).
Psychedelicsex Kicks isn’t exactly what I would call “erotic”, (the participants don’t exactly look thrilled to be there, and they sometimes look directly into the camera), but it’s short (under an hour long), features a lot of nudity, and has plenty of sleazy atmosphere. It also makes for a great ‘60s time capsule as it is brimming with outdated fashions, slang, and go-go dancing. Although it is kind of slow to start, once it gets moving, there’s enough scenes of horny hippies jiggling their jugs to make it an OK way to kill fifty-one minutes. (The body painting scene in particular, is a lot of fun.)
Overall, Psychedelicsex Kicks probably won’t be much of a “turn-on”, but it’s entertaining enough to make sure you don’t “drop-out” before all is said and done.
