Tagline: We Don't Make the Love Scenes in Mondo Balordo...We Just Filmed What Nature Already Started!
Plot: Documentary showing perverse and aberrant behavior from around the globe, including such things as sex slavery, dwarf love, Asian brothels and lesbians.
My rating: 5.5/10
Will I watch it again? No.
This guy starts the show and lip syncs like a BOSS to Louis Prima performing "Just a Giggolo" and he owns it.
Now if only the rest of the picture could've kept up with that kind of energy and excitement. This picture was one of many that jumped on the "mondo" bandwagon. They were all exploitation flicks disguised as informative documentaries of the weird from all over the globe with a mixture of a little truth and some actual documentary footage alongside bullshit stories and staged footage to sex things up a bit.
I know what you're thinking...any boobs? Nope. The many brief bits that make up the whole aren't too bad but they borderline on mildly entertaining. It helps a lot, though, the Boris Karloff is your continuous narrator.
The Something Weird Video DVD presents the film in fullscreen and loads the double feature (along with Primitive Love (1964)) with 11 trailers (including the one for this film and the other one), two short films, three intermission shorts, a gallery of sexploitation art with drive-in intermission announcements and a groovy feature that allows you to enjoy everything on the disc as a drive-in double feature with goodies before, in between and after the films. The disc is worth it just for the extras. If you happen to like either film, then you got yourself a bonus.
