C.B. Hustlers

Not as bad as many have said....Dumb, silly, fun! Plus, anything with Richard Kennedy in it is good to go 👍

I got this on a double feature DVD with a biopic of Evel Knievel for $2. It's about a bunch of hookers who operate out of a van and seduce truckers, and a journalist hot for a story with a CB radio who tries to shut down their operations. I thought it'd be some laughable C-grade obscure 70's porn I could put on at parties and such, but there's only about, ooh, 5% sex in this. I watched the first 10 minutes or so, and after I had got my fill of long shots of a bunch of people standing around vans drinking & talking, I put it on 2x speed setting and watched the rest of the film that way. Even with the sex scenes, and at twice the speed, it was still pretty slow & boring. Somehow, though, I strangely feel as if my dollar was justified. Hence the 2 rating.

The film is carried in great part by crack newsman reporter Mountain Dean (Richard Kennedy) overacting and a decent sound track. Unfortunately, there isn't a laugh out loud moments, kind of like watching a sitcom, the movie actually makes you like the girls and their soul searching pimp Dancer played adequately by John Alderman. The movie features a 28 year old Uschi Digard who looks quite beautiful especially when her wonderfully natural unclad breasts appear.

The good nature feel of the movie, Uschi, and the fact that it only runs for 75 minutes earn it a tenuous 4.

Found this little bit of soft-core raunch on a 'double-feature' DVD in one of those "Anything in the place is a buck" stores. It was paired up with "Cheerleader's Beach Party" (also 1978), which seemed somewhat appropriate.

My one-line summary was, of course, tongue-in-cheek. If you're looking for something more than mild titillation, you'd be better off spending your money elsewhere. The package says this is rated "R"; obviously that's a 1978 "R" because I've seen more explicit stuff on regular broadcast TV lately. There is an ample supply of (naked) female breasts and butts, and some simulated sex scenes, but that's about it. Nothing to be seen below the waistline.

Plot, such as it is, deals with a group of three 'pavement princesses' and their pimp working out of two custom vans. The preferred clientèle are 18-wheel truck drivers, and of course there's a nemesis in the form of an inept backwater newspaper man who overhears some of their coded jargon over a CB radio and decides that morality must prevail.

Slightly amusing byplay between the newspaperman and his sidekick/assistant, and there is a bit of a twist at the end. However, in the long run this is the kind of film that one watches only out of curiosity (or if one wants to know what was considered risqué during the Carter administration), and has little or no replay value.

so,in the less than 30 minutes i could stomach of this puke before losing my lunch,i saw more nudity than in most pornos,not to mention worse acting.supposedly the plot is that many van drivers on the highway assist the big rig truckers in avoiding the highway police by creating blockades,or distracting the police(usually,with a big pair of well placed boobs,for the male cops,anyway)now,i'm all for showing naked women with big boobs,but when every scene is simply an excuse for a woman to get naked,it just gets stupid.i can imagine the(so called) director setting up the scene:"Okay ladies,listen up,this is very complicated,but important so pay attention-take off your clothes!please don't make me go through it all again".like i alluded to earlier,the acting was lower quality than any porn movie.for the male parts,i imagine they went through a rigorous selection process before they found the right guys.I think it went something like this:they randomly picked a guy off the street and said "hey,dude,you wanna be in a movie?,there just might possibly be some naked breasts involved".man,i bet they had to weed out a lot of hopefuls.as for finding the women,it would have been a similar process something along the lines of:"hey baby,make ya a star".boy,how rigorous and exhausting that must have been for the film(and i use that very loosely)makers.now this is billed as a comedy,and it is indeed a comedy(for all the wrong reasons)but you may not know that it is also a horror movie-the horror being that it ever saw the light of day.i actually lost the will to live for awhile after seeing this.truly beyond putrid.
