LET’S GET PHYSICAL: THE BIG SNATCH (1971) ***

FORMAT:  DVD

A junkie named Harry (George Peters) is in need of a fix, so he robs a gal at knifepoint in an alley.  She just wants to fuck, so Harry obliges her before roughing her up and taking her dough.  As fate would have it, she’s a member of a badass girl gang called the She Devils, and now they are looking to clean Harry’s clock.  He hides out with a friend named Ruby (Joan Boote), but the gang quickly find Harry and pounce on him.  And by “pounce on him” I mean “force him and his pal into a having reverse gang bang”. 

Even though it’s a cheap porno, The Big Snatch has moments where it actually looks and feels like a “real” movie.  The location work is great and some of the camerawork is surprisingly professional looking.  That said, it’s still a cheap porno.  Despite the decent production values, it still features some of the worst dubbing during the sex scenes I’ve ever heard.  The same sound effect of a girl moaning “mmph mmph” is heard about a thousand times (even when her lips are clearly not moving) in different scenes.  The music also stops abruptly and or completely changes to another song at some points too. 

At the end of the day, the sex scenes are solid, which is really all that matters.  The opening stick-up/stick it in scene has a bit of a kick to it and gets things off to a strong start.  The big ball free for all in the finale is surprisingly steamy too.  (Especially when the participants bang on a waterbed and take advantage of the motion of the ocean.)  Boote is also quite fetching as Ruby, the hooker with a heart of gold. 

Oh, and for a movie called The Big Snatch, all the snatches looked fairly small and tight from where I was sitting, so that was a plus.
