the FEMALE BUNCH (1969)

[RCMerchant]

 


A waitress in Vegas keeps getting dumped on by men, so she hooks up with a gang of sadistic outlaw women at a desert ranch.
Directed by Al Adamson at the Spahn Ranch (at the time of the Manson murders, no less!  ), it features Hee Haw starlet Jennifer Bishop as the pool stick toting Grace - leader of the gang, Russ Tambyln who gets a cross branded onto his forehead and a pitchfork in his back, Lon Chaney Jr. as a drunken ranch hand ( I don't think he was acting) who gets brained by a hammer, and of course Al's wife Regina Carroll.
A stand out scene is a NORTH BY NORTHWEST rip-off with an airplane pursuing a couple in the desert.
Poor Lon, though. His voice is barley audible, being as he had throat cancer and died soon afterwards.
More nudity than I've seen in any Al movie. This would most certainly get a hard R in 1971 when it was released.

Sleazy fun!
I just watched this yesterday! First time I ever seen it!

It's fast becoming one of my favorite Al movies, up there with SATAN'S SADISTS and DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN.
I dunno- I like all his movies!

Lon! Getting violent bloody revenge!

I got the Al Adamson boxed set and started watching this a few weeks ago. I got about 30 minutes into it, then had to help my wife with something and I never got around to watching the rest. Soon, hopefully.

I really enjoyed it. It was about 1 in the morning when I watched it- perfect.
The lyrics to the cheezy lounge singer's song in Vegas make no dam sense.

"Only clothes, cow, and horseshoe, is the only reason I came...!"

Huh?

^ that just grinded my brain into an Uncle Ben mush for a few minutes.
I watched it again. I on't know why.
