Edward Schaaf, Raven De La Croix

This kicks off with the murder of one Adolf Schwartz (who bears a striking resemblance to another famous Adolf) by placing a ravenous piranha fish in his bathtub. Who did it? No-one knows or cares, as...( read more  read more... ) they're too busy being distracted by busty Margo Winchester, who hitch-hikes into# town and gets involved with all the local men. It all ends with a series of complicated plot twists that reveal that just about everyone is really someone else. And if it gets too confusing, Russ Meyer helpfully arranges for a one- woman nude Greek chorus to pop up at intervals to explain what's going on.

    Much better than the Disney film.
  • December 5, 2007
    The startling first 15 minutes of this movie are the single greatest revenge on Adolf Hitler in cinema history, a brilliant example of Russ Meyer at his best, easily worthy of 5 stars. Unfortunately, what follows is not pacey or imaginative enough to qualify as vintage Meyer. Kit...( read more)ten Natividad's Greek Chorus, popping up occasionally to remind us of the redundant murder-mystery at the core of the plot, only emphasises the repetitiveness of it all. Though as cartoonish as ever, the violence feels more mean-spirited than usual, and the over-wordy script spoils the climax.

    Sexy and funny, although it's obvious that Meyer still has no use for anyone who's different than himself. Still, a fun movie.

    Never one to shy away from controversy, Russ Meyer decided to up-the-ante with this 1978 offering. In the film's rather short running time ne manages to squeeze in homosexuality, a S&M loving Hitler look-a-like, a piranha attack, two rape scenes, a number of large prosthetic phal...( read more)luses, a bloody chainsaw melee and of course plenty of big breasted women....

    Up! is low on plot but high in sleaze and is probably one of Meyer's more explicit offerings. Some may find the numerous scenes of couples copulating in the great outdoors a little tedious and the rather frivolous treatment of rape may leave more than a bitter taste. Thankfully Natividad's lyrical narrative ensures that the film doesn't stray too far from Meyer's jovial mischievous touch.

    Overall this probably isn't the best Meyer film and probably isn't the best starting place for the uninitiated. However if you are a Meyer fan or looking for something a little "dark" but also full of attractive, full-bodied women then this is certainly worth a look.

    Directed by Russ Meyer who will go down as the king of 70's sleaze brings this movie centering around the murder of one Adolf Schwartz who just so happens to look like hilter and you the viewer trying to figure out who did it cause seems no one in the film really cares as there i...( read more)s a subplot centering around the new women in town basicly this movie is pretty weird and funny the plot doesnt matter much as with most Russ Meyer movies its a loose veil for all the nudity he stacks in them worth a watch for hardcore B movie fans

    A real entertaining soft porn comedy by Hollywood's king of 'smut' and nudity: Russ Meyer. The storyline is really bizzare, it starts with a man named Adolf Schwartz (Edward Schaaf) a lookalike Hitler gets killed by a piranha in his bathtub. While the rest of the movie goes on wi...( read more)th a new plot surrounding Margo Winchester (Raven De La Croix) filled with nudity, sex, two rape scenes and some odd fun moments the viewer is supposed to try to figure out who the murder is, but me myself have a hard time think anyone really cares about the murder of Adolf Schwartz. Still if you like Russ Meyer movies, b-movies or just want to see some soft porn "Up!" will sure entertain you.

    Looks about as intelligent as sticking a wet fork in an electric socket.
  • August 3, 2007
    One of Russ Meyer's classic films!

    My personal favorite film by Russ Meyer. Lots of boobs, chainsaw fights, hilarious dialoge, Hitler having gay sex, it's complete insanity.
