Overview

Inspired by shock-documentaries like Mondo Cane, this film looks at the wilder side of life in America. Starting off with the bloodier side of the American car culture by showing a series of crashes at race events, the film then goes on to lesser-known sexual practices. Included among these is a porno movie award show, a nude beauty contest, a sex therapy session, and a detailed explanation of where dildos come from.

Viewing Notes

This was a rematch for me, and I was stoked! Love this American mondo style flick about the country’s wild side in the late 70s. Some great clips about brothels, drive-in churches, dildo factories, demolition derby, drive-thru funeral homes and sooooo much more.

See it if you can, along with the two sequels.
