 BLAZING
STEWARDESSES (Retro-Seduction
Cinema) 1975. Originally
produced and released by Independent International Pictures, a.k.a. IIP.
Comedy (supposedly). 96 minutes.
Color. Rated R.
Wow this movie was bad. I
mean it was just awful. It
took me just under three weeks to finish watching it.
I’d watch for a few minutes, realize I had better things to do
such as stare at the wall, shut it off, put if off for a few days then
pick up from where I left off. Okay
Connie Hoffman, the “star”, was quite beautiful but who cares when
there was absolutely no point to this mish mash of crap.
What was this movie about? About
to make me pissed! Supposedly
created as a sequel to the fairly well made sexploitation-comedy
“Naughty Stewardesses”, which was actually worth watching despite
being made in the ‘70’s which meant that 99.99% of the people just
looked gross, this garbage wasn’t “naughty”, wasn’t alluring, AND
had next to nothing to do with stewardesses (or flight attendants if you
prefer). Here’s the plot:
three stewardesses fly to the middle of nowhere to help their friend
revive his dude ranch; said friend is about to lose his shirt because
hooded-horsemen wearing capes no less continually hijack the gambling
equipment being shipped to the ranch via truck.
Do you care yet? For
star power they brought in Yvonne De Carlo (Lily from “The Munsters”)
to portray a Madam as well as a singer – which do you think she would be
worse at? To top it off two of
the Ritz Brothers occasionally appeared on screen and each time they did
the film came grinding to a halt; to say they were unfunny would be kind.
Seeing them kiss after sharing a disgustingly huge submarine
sandwich was less than pleasant; who thought that would be a plus?!
If you have cable and “Naughty Stewardesses” comes on or if one
of your friends has it on vhs/dvd you might enjoy it for the camp factor
but avoid “Blazing Stewardesses”.
Run away run away! Flee!
Head for zee hillz! -
