One Of The Best Sex Comedies Ever!
Bikini Drive-In is definetly one of the best sex comedies ever made, right up there with Porky's and Hardbodies. It starts off pretty good, but it gets better as it goes along. Lots of nudity, sex scenes, screwball comedy, and spoof material. This is just a fun movie and well worth buying for fans of sexy comedies and exploitation films. Michelle Bauer's appearance alone makes it worth owning for her fans. In one scene, she receives an oil breast massage. Classic!
A homage to the lost B-Movie/Drive-In subculture in America
I received my copy earlier this week. I liked it more than I expected; unfortunately I had bought one of the pirated and cut versions off a used-DVD store and was expecting only to see the same movie plus the censored scenes. The movie is better than that.
First, "Bikini Drive-In" predates the collapse of the Skinemax genre around 2005 by about 10 years. You need to get your arms around that. As such, it is a glimpse into what the genre and the drive-in subculture used to be. In its era, the concept of the adult movie had a different meaning than today. A "movie" used to be a long-form storytelling device, and an "adult" comedy was a comedy that was spiced with some nudity. Some other examples are "TunnelVision," "The Groove Tube", and Fred's "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers". Check the early movies out and you will see a vast difference from what passes for a "movie" today.
After the 2005 crash, an adult movie became a device for generating a group of nude scenes...
Uncut! Uncensored! Bikini Drive-In
I'm writing because a recent reviewer commented that this version is the same length as previously released edited versions. I own a recently purchased VHS version of this movie, and previously owned a heavily edited DVD version by Miracle Productions, which I traded in for credit on a Blu-Ray purchase at a major retailer. The Miracle Production DVD featured a large marquee on the DVD cover with the names of the major actresses. The VHS features a model reclining on a sports car on its cover. There is or was another DVD version with a similar cover. I have not seen that version.
Long story short, the new DVD version of Bikine Drive-In is substantially the same as the VHS version. Its run time is about 85 minutes, vice 86 minutes for the VHS. I believe the difference in the running time is probably based upon the length of the legal warnings at the beginning of the film. The new DVD version is unrated, but would probably receive an R, as would the VHS version...
