Blazing Stewardesses

BLAZING STEWARDESSES suggests a T & A movie, but it's a low-budget western which tries awfully hard to imitate horse operas of the '40s. Masked killers on horseback terrorize a western town, where girls mingle with guests at a dude ranch. Former cowboy stars Don "Red" Barry and Robert Livingston have character roles, and Yvonne DeCarlo has a featured role. Best scenes involve The Ritz Brothers (Harry and Jimmy), who offer comedy relief as ranch hands.

If you're looking for something sexy, this will disappoint you, but old-movie buffs and Ritz Brothers fans may give it points for good intentions.

Me and my friends rented this movie hoping for a mindless fun movie with maybe some cute women to look at. We were horribly horribly wrong. It wasn't until maybe half way through it that we realized what the problem was exactly. Clues : One of the women had the body of a 20 year old but the face of an 80 year old. Boring incredibly long masked horse rider scenes that seem unrelated to the actual movie (maybe we weren't paying enough attention to the plot but you shouldn't HAVE to in a movie like this!) The biggest clue of all was the appearance of the Ritz Brothers. I have not seen any of the Ritz Brother's early work. I had never heard of them before this movie. The Ritz Brothers make several cameo appearances in some of the most disgusting, painful, grotesque "comedy" routines ever put on film. Frankly I'm shocked the other reviewers here thought they were funny. The Ritz Brothers are two very old (VERY) men who just want to entertain the nice people! In the first scene we get to see one of the Ritz brothers bony wrinkly legs, thighs and all. We get to watch them eat a giant sandwich for a long time. The pinnacle of their grotesqueness is when the old Ritz Brother gets scrambled eggs all over his face. PICTURE IT. Eggs dripping down a whimpering old man's face. Does this make you laugh, or vomit? Rent Blazing Stewardess to find out.

Also rent Blazing Stewardesses if you want to see a big fat drunk guy have sex with a blow up doll in a scene that goes on for way too long.

Are good ole boy Al Adamson. Quite a cheap man and laid to waste some of the most sought after genre's. Such classics as Dr. Dracula, Black Heat, I Spit On Your Corpse, Blood Of Ghastly Horror, Cinderella 2000, and on and on. He made a crap load of movies lets put it that way. This double dose of Adamson exploitation is served up in one juicy booby platter.

Lets get this started with The Blazing one, a Mel Brooks wanna be after his success with Blazing Saddles. One thing you have to keep in mind when watching a flick like this one. Don't expect much to happen. There is so much filler in this movie that it doesn't even really go anywhere. It painfully hurts to watch the whole thing without putting on the fast forward. The best thing is the usual Yvonne De Carlo as the titular star of this, and Naughty. She hobbles around in scenery meant for a vacation promo video. On and on the scenes drag of horses, her walking up and down the streets to find cute knick knacks at local vendor shops in the islands of whatever. Sure the woman are hot, put nothing happens. I think the music holds the entire movie with its swinging' jazz, 70's style baby. Loads of old school actors that unfortunately, ended up in a film like this. The Ritz Brothers (Old time slap stick favorites), just not in this. Very weak and could not stand the test of time. Back in the 30's, yes. Now, tits and Spike Jones comedy just don't mix. Just leave it up to Adamson to mix the genre's appeals and not make it work.

Naughty on the other hand has a little more action and not too much dragging filler. A little more in the nudity department to boot. Yvonne is back and trying to find the right guy. While on her travels, she holds the love pocket back while every one else she encounters on her new job (which happens to be a stewardess) lays out the red carpet and gives it all they got. A little more soft core action to keep your pants off. Just stinks when Yvonne hooks up with an old school fart, ruins the look of her when she becomes a little intimate.

Anyways, this DVD is jam packed with goodies to appeal to the drive -in crowd. DVD 1 Feature film: BLAZING STEWARDESSES (1975) English audio Interview: MARILYN JOI (a.k.a. T.A.

So you can expect a crap load of juicy info from Al himself . You pretty much expect nice looking ladies. Just not a whole lot of meat.

I rented out this DVD set with both Blazing Stewardesses and Naughty Stewardesses because I expected some cheap fun exploitation flick with a cast of recognizable names. Something like 1979's 'Gas Pump Girls' made in the 70s that included Huntz Hall from the old Bowery Boys movies, or 1976's Won Ton Ton - The Dog That Saved Hollywood, which brought out a lot of stars from the 30s to 50s.

There are tons of rotten films that seem made for drive-in theater dates during the 1950s through the 1980s. There's absolutely no reason to actually watch these movies because of lack of plot and continuity. There might be a flash of flesh but overall they were disappointing, so you might as well focus on your date in the back seat. But to see actors with 30+ years of film and stage credit to their names take on roles for this crap is flat-out sad. Either the money had to be good or Don Barry, Robert Livingston, Yvonne DeCarlo, and the Ritz Brothers were blackmailed or coerced. These films were so bad that if you have the chance at a convention or wherever to meet the idiots responsible for this mess - seems as though writers John D'Amato and Samuel Sherman are still alive, while director Al Adamson is dead - punch them in the nose.

The most amazing thing I found out about Blazing Stewardesses is that this is a sequel film. I can't believe that Naughty Stewardesses created a demand for a sequel.

I can only imagine what the other film was like, this one falls just short of pornography. In fact I've seen porn films that have a better plot line.

Connie Hoffman, Regina Carrol, and Marilyn Joi are the stewardesses who really believe in full service flights, especially on this charter flight that former B picture cowboy Robert Livingston has hired. He's running a dude ranch and he's bringing in gambling to really spice the place up.

Yvonne DeCarlo is a brothel madam and Don 'Red' Barry is also on hand in this film. The girls wind up going there where there is an elaborate sequence involving a blowup girl, the kind Bud Bundy was razzed about on Married With Children. I've seen better humor at frat parties.

The two surviving Ritz Brothers are also on hand as general all around help on Livingston's ranch. What a come down they and the rest had in doing this trash.

The story such as it is involves the hijacking of Livingston's gambling equipment by parties who don't want to see him succeed. If you care to sit through this you can find out the who and the why.

I don't think it's worth it.
