Movie Reviews of Russ Meyer's Up!
Movie Review: Everybody Get Up!
Summary: 4 Stars
Meyer's films seemed to get more and more bizarre near the end of his directing career. Up! is definitely his wildest in terms of both sex and violence. Like with most of Meyer's films, there is a plot to follow, but it's not much to talk about and only serves as a reason to string endless sex scenes together. Plotwise, it has Raven De La Croix drifting into a small town and getting involved with the sexcapades of a local married couple who own a diner. That's the plot in the most basic of terms, but throw in a horny sheriff, an insane juggernaut lumberjack, a Hitler wannabe, and a killer on the loose, and you've got the recipe for a crazy ride. The killer wears black gloves, making it almost seem like a Russ Meyer "stab" at a giallo! Speaking of a killer, this film is probably Meyer's most violent. He'd usually throw in dashes of violence in previous films(the murder in Supervixens is kinda shocking and unexpected in it's brutality), but here he's upping(no pun intended)the ante a bit, even including a chainsaw murder. There are two brutal rape scenes that are rather unpleasant. All rape scenes are unpleasant, but there's something especially disturbing about zany cartoon sound effects being used during them. This may put off some folks, even those who usually enjoy Meyer's movies. Then of course there's the sex. As in Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens, Meyer makes it his mission not to let 5 minutes of screen time pass without nudity and/or sex. You're bombarded with so many images of beautiful female anatomy that you almost become desensitized, if such a thing is possible! The sex in Up! is about as dirty and graphic as the law will allow without being a full fledged porno film, so don't watch it with the kiddies. The sex is also a bit more extreme than in previous Meyer films. Meyer was an old fashioned kinda guy when it came to sex, he liked no "freaky" stuff. Here he delves into S&M, oral sex and even a scene with two men! New territory for Russ. The long rubber male appendages used to a humorous, yet restrained degree in Supervixens are all over the place here, probably to make the male viewer feel inadequate. Once again, Russ shows us that he can photograph the female body like no one else. Kitten Natividad is the narrator who's nude the entire film, and looks stunning. Raven De La Croix(a long time obsession of Meyer's) isn't the most attractive woman, but you certainly can't take your eyes off the woman's body. Many more yummy woman are in and out of the film, but these two woman you will go away remembering. Even with all of it's excessiveness, Up! is a very entertaining and funny film is you don't take any of what you're seeing seriously. Well, I don't see how you could considering the whole thing is just too silly. It's a must for Meyer fans, and certainly recommended for trashy sex/exploitation/cult film lovers. UP!!!!!!!!!!!
