TWISTED SEX VOL. 3 (1994) ***

The third collection of ‘60s sexploitation trailers from Something Weird begins with trailers for artsy fare like I, a Woman and Therese and Isabelle.  Don’t be alarmed though.  It doesn’t take long before you’re hit with a veritable avalanche of sleazy previews for roughies like Come Play with Me and Olga’s Dance Hall Girls.  Along the way there are ads for nudie cuties (The Beast That Killed Women), Mondo movies (Primitive Love, which features Jayne Mansfield performing a sexy striptease), and films that are sadly lost to time, like the incredible looking Fanny Hill Meets Dr. Erotico. 

Probably the most memorable trailer is for Ravaged (AKA: After Mein Kampf), which mixes sexploitation and stock footage of actual Nazi atrocities.  You know, fun for the entire family.  There are also some great ads for oddities and rare films like The Adventures of Busty Brown, The Diary of Knockers McCalla, and the wonderfully titled Scarf of Mist, Thigh of Satin. 

You know, I like to think I know a thing or two about smut movies.  So, when I come across a trailer for something like Obscene House featuring the unforgettable sight of “Fat Mama”, an overweight madam, it’s nice to know even I can be surprised by some of the shit Something Weird manages to cram into these things.  (See also the amazing trailer for Carny Girl.)

This volume is a tad overlong and begins to run out of steam before crossing the finish line.  Things wind down with hippie movies such as Like It is and Acid Dreams before concluding with an ad for an educational short called The Art of Marriage.  There’s also a random short about a blonde wife who perks up a cocktail party by stripping in the living room that’s just there as filler. 

Fans of tawdry taglines will have a field day with this installment though.  Some of my favorites belong to Therese and Isabelle (“A milestone in motion picture candor!”), The Sin Syndicate (“A frank, uninhibited exposition of the girl racket!”), Prostitutes Protective Society (“Scene after scene of nude violence!”), Unholy Matrimony (“Unholy Matrimony took years to research, months to maintain, and nerves to show!”), Mr. Mari’s Girls (“Obscene and banned by the public!”), and Hot Skin and Cold Cash (“A picture you can’t miss… UNLESS YOU’RE A SISSY!”).  Meanwhile, Meeting on 69th Street promises “Sick sex doings!”

Well, if you’re like me and know am, and sick sex doings are what you crave, you can do a lot worse than Twisted Sex Vol. 3.
