LET’S GET PHYSICAL: GATOR BAIT (1974) ****

FORMAT:  DVD

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

(As posted on August 18th, 2007)

Ferd and Beverly Sebastian’s knockout drive-in hit about a Cajun hottie named Desiree (the late great Claudia Jennings) who’s out for revenge still packs a punch after all these years. When Desiree gets pinched by the inept deputy for poaching gators in the Bayou, she escapes and causes the inadvertent death of some poor cracker. The deputy (the real murderer) frames her and the sheriff calls together the grieving backwoods family for some good old-fashioned southern justice. But they cross the line when they shove a shotgun up Desiree’s sister’s twat and pull the trigger and then she gets REAL mad and begins picking off the rednecks one by one, dispensing her own brand of Cajun justice. 

Basically, it’s First Blood in the Bayou, but with the ultra-hot Jennings in Daisy Dukes and her bosom hanging out her shirt, which means there’s not a thing wrong with it. Jennings went on to such classics as Sisters of Death, Deathsport and Fast Company before dying an unfortunate and untimely death. Luckily for exploitation movie fans, her legacy lives on in this classic. 

The Sebastians waited 14 years before churning out a sequel, Gator Bait 2: Cajun Justice.
