Il rock è femmina

I recently watched Splitz (1982) on Tubi. The storyline follows a struggling band that crosses paths with a sorority facing its own set of challenges. The two groups team up for an upcoming competition, hoping to help each other break out of their ruts.

Directed by Domonic Paris (Amazing Masters of Martial Arts), the film stars Robin Johnson (After Hours), Barbara Bingham (Jason Takes Manhattan), Shirley Stoler (The Deer Hunter), and Forbes Riley (Shadow of Doubt).

Splitz is exactly what you'd expect-a straightforward story meant to showcase as many beautiful women and cheesy comedy moments as possible. The film features plenty of nudity, a classic shower scene, and an over-the-top wrestling match that stands out as a highlight.

In conclusion, there's not much substance here. I'd give it a 4/10 and would only recommend it with the appropriate expectations.

Domonic Paris strikes again! Not content with resting on the laurels of his earlier (and only) DRACULA'S LAST RITES, a vampire film seen by less than 50 people I imagine, Mr Paris gives the world what can only be described as a cornball, low porn sorority caper with nothing but a few braless (read as brainless if you wish) co-eds on show.

If one is to accept that attempting to stave off the closure of a sorority house due to lack of interest, makes for a viable movie plotline, by all means watch this. You'll probably be just the 9th person (the other 8 have already voted)

What's next for Paris? GONE WITH THE NIPPLE?

Sometimes you don't want to see Gone With The Wind. Sometimes you just want to see a good, old fashioned titty-flic. They don't make films like these anymore: films that fell somewhere between the drive-in, the grind house and late night cable. SPLITZ was one of the amazing topless-not-plot less popcorn movies that made it into regular rotation on HBO and Cinemax back in the glorious early 80s. Taking more than a cue from Animal House and then paying tribute to Russ Meyer's BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, SPLITZ hits the ground running with a soundtrack reminiscent of either VALLEY GIRL or NEW WAVE HOOKERS, and it's thoroughly enjoyable in that Bevis & Butthead kinda way. A perfect night with the guys film, custom made for a movie marathon. Just add beer, bong and a bag of chips and you'll be happily on your way. Look for a very early cameo by Comedy Central regular (and Big Lebowski bit player) Dom Irrera. Perfectly captures the era in which it was made.
