The Big Snatch (1971)

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Best movie of this year hands down!

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Just so I am clear about why this $11,000 sexploitation film should be a standard for comparison, let me explain. For anyone who questions whether an exploitation film has drifted into sexploitation territory, I suggest immediately watching "The Big Snatch". Only if the flick in question can match "The Big Snatch" in minute for minute skin, should it even be considered as sexploitation. Another test would be, can you turn off the sound for the entire film and lose nothing? One big advantage of losing the audio is no generic porno music, no lame dialog, but you can still get the gist of a "humpathon" like "The Big Snatch". - MERK

I don't usually go into these sorts of films with high expectations, but to my surprise The Big Snatch is actually quite good! The title is obviously meant to have a double meaning, but actually it relates to the part of the plot that involves a couple of men going round kidnapping girls, only to have them turned into 'sex slaves'. Naturally, considering that this is a seventies rough porn flick, the acting and production values aren't up to much; but all you can really expect from a film like this is plenty of sex and a few laughs and the film delivers that. The plot works with the film quite well; it offers numerous opportunities for a bit of action, and most of these are capitalised on. The film doesn't feature a great deal of surprises in the first half, we just watch as the girls are 'trained' by their captors, but there's a decent twist around the middle in which the tables are turned and the film becomes a bit more interesting, and also features a few nail biting moments. The sex is mostly just softcore, so the film might not please the fans of the harder stuff, but its all fairly decent.

SPOILER ALERT! Five women are kidnapped in broad daylight (sorry for the pun) and are taken to an out-of-the-way and off-the-beaten-track desert lair where they are subjected to torture and rape.Uschi Digard is one of the kidnapped women.Uschi was about 23 when she made this film and, as in all her films, looks great! Of course, the women finally turn the tables on the men and after waylaying one of the two men, they set out to lay the other one - to death.What a way to go! Imagine getting screwed by Uschi to death. If I had my choice, that's the way I'd like to go.

Here's a prime slice of 70's exploitation for ya folks: 2 scumbags kidnap 5 teenage sluts to keep as sex slaves, forcing them to submit to / perform acts of sexual humiliation. The head rapist - Bart, instructs his hostages that he will call them pigs and they in turn must call him master. They will do exactly as he tells them or else they will be punished severely. His accomplice, Momo is a big dumb deaf-mute who - although he does succeed in scoring a coupla rapes with the ladies - is not really the star here, this plan was hatched by Bart's twisted mind so he mainly gets to have all the fun. Sexploitation ''star'' Uschi Digart (Supervixens, Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS, A Climax of Blue Power & numerous other classics) is one of the 5 sex slaves, so she and her enormous breasts enjoy a lot of screen-time, also appearing are Jane Tsentas (Terror at Orgy Castle, The Adult Version of Jekyll & Hide, Sexophrenia) and Peggy Church (The Pigkeeper's Daughter, Hot Connections, A Touch of Sweden).The so-called rapes are really just overlong softcore sex scenes set to an upbeat jazz / funk score (how could the ladies NOT enjoy a good raping with such an excellent soundtrack?!). There is a memorable scene where one of the young girls is caught trying to escape, Bart proclaims ''I'm gonna steam that clam open!'' as she is tied down pantieless & spread-eagled onto the revving motor of a car, with the cars radiator cap removed, the flow of boiling steam inflicts red hot burns on her boiling pussy. After about 45 minutes of multiple sadistic ''rapes'' and other assorted acts of degradation, the 5 female captives manage to break free and strangle the oafish Momo to death. They then decide to turn the tables on lead sleazeball Bart – first they twist and crush his penis with a pair of pliers, then they throw him bound and naked onto a mattress and... GANG RAPE him for the remaining ½ hour of the film!? That'll teach him! Directed by 60's & 70's exploitation film maker, Byron Mabe (A Smell of Honey, a Swallow of Brine, The Acid Eaters, Space-Thing) The Big Snatch is basically your run-of-the-mill softcore sex flick from the 70's with a bit of rough stuff thrown in – the sex is not erotic and the acting is awful but it's still a damn fun piece of trash with enough graphic full-frontal nudity & overall sleaze to redeem it in the eyes of most trash cinema aficionado's. 8/10
