Dirty O'Neil

A cop patrols the streets and maintains the peace until a group of thugs start making trouble for all the babes in town. Lots of pretty women & scenery. Imagine if Jack Tripper from Three's Company developed a hardened attitude, he's the cop in this flick. Harmless fun & zany antics.

"Dirty O'Neil" is something else. It starts with a violent robbery then it becomes a okay T&A movie before wrapping that forgotten robbery stuff up. It plays like an edited soft-core movie. By that I mean it never reaches the sex level of that genre but there is a bunch of welcome nudity. If this movie went for the PG crowd it would have been truly awful. But because it proudly went for the R crowd, it's actually watchable. Pretty stupid but watchable.

1970s drive in curiosity, better production values for this type of film. Small town populated by what seems like models at every corner wearing no bras and willing to immediately sleep with the new office in town. Some criminal action later moves the movie in a different direction. Still a low brow movie given the very prominent role that women's breasts are given here.

There were a lot of great exploitation movies made in the '70s. This was not one of them.

Dirty O'Neil (1974) is a movie I recently watched on Amazon Prime. The storyline is about a police officer who uses his sex appeal to get in good with all kinds of ladies. As a police officer there seems to be ladies around every corner and every one wants him. Will O'Brien ever be more than a womanizer? This movie is codirected by Leon Capetanos (Summer Run) and Lewis Teague (Cujo) and stars Morgan Paull (Blade Runner), Art Metrano (Police Academy 2 & 3), Jeane Manson (The Piano Player) and Katie Saylor (Supervan). The storyline for this picture is painful. For being a ladies man Officer O'Neil seemed to consistently struggle talking with the ladies. It felt like a writer who was a non-ladies man writing about a ladies man. There are all of the great nude scenes you'd expect from this era - shower scenes, locker room scenes, peeping-tom scenes, soft sex scenes, topless swimming scenes and every other soft porn scenario. I will say the final shootout came out of nowhere and was extremely entertaining and actually raised this grade an entire point for me for what was an underwhelming film until that point. I'd score this a 5/10 and would watch it if you can't find anything else interesting.
