This just scratches the surface of nicknames
the human male has come up with to accentuate
his obsession with this particular part of a woman’s
anatomy. Though I can appreciate them myself,
I’ve never understood why some guys are
so obsessed by overly large bazomb…uhhh…
I mean, breasts. Personally for me, smaller is
much, much sexier. But is in the spirit of this
obsession that filmmaker William Winkler wrote,
directed and starred in “The Double D Avenger.”
In what can only be described as a high camp comedy,
“The Double D Avenger” reunites ‘actresses’
Kitten Natividad, Raven De La Croix and Haji for
fans of Russ Meyer films (“Beneath the Valley
of the Utlra-Vixens”, “Faster Faster
Pussycat Kill Kill”). Natividad stars as
Chastity Knott, who is the recipient of bad news
when she learns she has (oddly enough) breast
cancer. She learns of the healing powers of a
South American plant, and heads out to find it.
Looking like some weird mix of a banana and pomegranate,
she ‘sucks’ on the plant and gets
more than she bargained for. Along with curing
her cancer, she ‘develops’ super powers,
turning her into “The Double D Avenger.”
She soon finds herself in a battle of ti…
uh… I mean wits with Al Purplewood (Winkler)
the owner of a rival strip club and his evil strippers.
I’d be hard-pressed to call “The Double
D Avenger” a good movie, but I will say
that for a B-movie meant to be stupid it’s…
well… stupid. The humor is decidedly low-brow,
the jokes excessively lame, and the acting really,
reaaalllly bad. However, there’s an audience
for every movie, and those who enjoy a late night
drinking buddy movie with loads of titillation
(though a surprising lack of overt nudity), will
certainly get that in abundance, and I do mean
abundance. Mixed into this silly adventure, you’ll
find some lingerie montage sequences from some
overly endowed porn stars as well as one of the
funkiest ‘funky chicken strips’ ever
committed to film.
If there is anything that really makes the DVD
release worthwhile, it is the fact that it is
part of Elite Entertainment’s new “Joe
Bob Briggs presents…” series. Briggs
sits through the movie with you, providing a running
commentary on an alternate track. As the premiere
Drive-In movie critic, his comments never cease
to entertain as well as educate. At any given
time he shares a bit of movie history or trivia,
makes jokes at the expense of the film, and even
adds a few more euphemisms to the list provided
above.
On the off-chance you watch “The Double
D Avenger” and happen to decide it is the
finest film you’ve ever seen, than you’ll
love the fact that there is also a lengthy ‘making
of’ documentary. Running well over an hour,
it’s full of interviews and behind the scenes
footage (as well a getting behind a few other
things…), fully fit for the cazonga connoisseur.
Oh, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t
mention a cameo by the king of horror movie memorabilia
Forrest J. Ackerman. I’d fill you in on
some of the movie’s other high points, but
I think I’ve given you just enough to keep
you abreast… of the situation. Any more,
and I’d feel like a real boob. Sorry, for
the bad jokes, I just had to get them off my chest.
