Because Russ MEYER was becoming disenchanted with the blue movie industry and its increasing and monomaniacal obsession with gynecological explicitness, this was his last film. It is, therefore, imbued with a certain anger about a genre he clearly loves but could not find it in himself to embrace the hardcore side - and it shows.
The trademark humor, surrealism & attacks on Christian fundamentalism, so central to his oeuvre, are drastically reduced here in favor of repetitious formalism. MEYER goes as far as a non-hardcore film can go before becoming hardcore (ie, show people really having sex); making this a sort of anti-porn porn movie!
Disappointing fun.
