Takin' It Off Out West

The late Ed Hansen, the director of some of the best T&A movies ever made, brings us Takin' It Off Out West, a Comedy-Western with very little plot, horrible acting and plenty of endowed women flaunting what God gave them as well as what breast enlargement can also do for them.

The threadbare plot involves the government hiring strippers to help raise the morale of workers in the Old West and a bumbling family of outlaws trying to foil their plan due to some "Mystic Stone".

As expected in an Ed Hansen film, you've got cartoon sound effects, horrible method acting by a group whose only film was this very one, terrible music and of course, some sexy young things.

While Julie Strain is top-billed, she does very little except play some madwoman portraying a Native having some problems drawing her bow. If you want to see her in a Western-type film, better to see her in The Rowdy Girls.

Some interesting tidbits in this film though. They do some inventive things to hide the fact that the women in this film refused to grow bouffant bush. Every stereotype in a Western is here, including another offensive attempt by someone portraying a gay man and the muscular hunks being as dumb as doorknobs. Also, the names of the actors in the cast are a riot. Hardy Oliver? G. Dallas Austin? Billy Twogood? Heffey Von Hampton? Jimmy Sarno (is he related to Joe?)? Hilarious! Right now, the only way you probably can see this film is on Drive-In Classics in Canada. I would love to see Ed Hansen's classic films on DVD, though. If Peter Perry/Bethel Buckalew's work is on DVD, so should Hansen's.
