Boin-n-g

Boin-n-g (1963)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

A couple guys friends walk out of a sexploitation picture talking about how awful it was and how they could do so much better. With dollar signs in their eyes the two rent some equipment and set off to make a nudie picture but things quickly go from bad to worse.

Director Herschell Gordon Lewis and producer David F. Friedman obviously had a good time making this picture as well as winking to those who would be watching it. I'd say that this film is much more entertaining today than it was back when it was released because fans will easily get the various references including jokes made about THE ADVENTURES OF LUCKY PIERRE, which is the "awful" film that the two walk out of.

As with most sexploitation pictures, this one here really only has the thinnest of plots but it actually works here. I thought it was quite funny watching two people complain about the quality of a movie and then setting out trying to make their own. There were some funny scenes scattered throughout including one where the secretary decides to try her breasts out and another where the director, producer and cameraman fight over which way to shoot a scene.

The version I watched played under the title UNTAMED WOMEN IN NATURE IN THE RAW, which was the Canadian title. The "boing" nose is a sound effect that happens throughout. You can use your imagination on what it's for.
