This was a film which came up for sale, and again, another item i wasn't looking out for but for many years i have had both super 8 extracts from Major 8 movies so this was a rare chance to grab the whole feature film as the super 8 version is only around 35 minutes long when joined together. The quality of my two extracts was very good and had pin sharp image and good sound. The only problem i had with it was the poor editing on the fistful of yen print, the cuts were abrupt and one in particular was in mid action.
The rare thing about this 16mm print is that it is on Agfa stock so the there is no fade. Being a 1977 print i dont think there is many of these left. This movie wasn't very long to start out with, just 83 minutes, the print itself is in good condition for the age. It is mounted on a full 1600ft spool and a packed 1200 spool, so far i have viewed only reel one which had four splices, there are only a few minor lines here and there so if the second reel is the same i will be happy with its condition, on the down side there is one splice and here there is around three minutes missing which isn't too much of problem as i will rectify this later. This want mentioned in the listing but to be very fair to the seller, he has reimbursed me with a token discount.
I'm sure many people know this movie however, this being a theatrical print, (it opens with the good old "X" certificate) here is a run down of all the sketches in this movie, with the help of my friend wiki, i will add further information after i view reel two this weekend.

A.M. Today (6:05) A morning TV news show with hosts (Janice Kent and Michael Laurence) and several segments: a news correspondent, unable to hear the announcers, scratches his buttocks and picks his nose on-camera and a studio debate between a conservative and liberal pundit leads to obscenity. The show's astrologer reminds us that astrology is meant to support people who cannot take responsibility for their own lives. An animal segment introduces a "rare" hamster followed up by a gorilla (Rick Baker). The gorilla, which has been unable to mate, becomes progressively enraged by its female handler's explanations and suddenly tears off the handler's shirt. Studio hands try unsuccessfully to restrain the gorilla as it runs amok and smashes the camera.
His New Car (:24) When a man enters a car, multiple alarms go off. As he goes through a succession of actions (locking his door, buckling his seatbelt, and so on) the alarms shut off one by one until only one remains. Eventually he reaches down and zips the fly on his jeans. The last alarm then stops.

Catholic High School Girls in Trouble (2:00) A parody of sexploitation films, one highlight is a topless conversation among three well-endowed Catholic high school girls (Nancy Mann, Lenka Novak and Betsy Genson). Later, the school punishes them for breaking curfew by putting them in a jail where they are stripped naked except for brightly coloured bikini bottoms. With their wrists chained above them, they face the camera bare-breasted as their backs are whipped by a dwarf. Another is Uschi Digard's large breasts first being zoomed in and felt by a man (with squeaky-balloon sound effects), and later comically squashed against a shower door when he penetrates her from behind. A shocked teenager interrupts his intercourse when he realizes it is actually his girlfriend's middle-aged mother under the sheets. She claims people always mistake her for her teenaged daughter. Another teenager learns in horror that masturbation has made his hands hairy.

(See You Next Wednesday in) Feel-A-Round (4:52) A man watches a movie presented in "Feel-A-Round." The usher takes the role of the on-screen female lover. As she asks her male lover to smell her perfume, the usher sprays the viewer with said perfume. It eventually proceeds to chest rubbing and then to a lovers' quarrel.

A Fistful of Yen (31:34) One missile from the previously announced (Film at 11) dual Russia–U.S. attack is revealed to be Chinese-made. The Chinese government denies any involvement. The mastermind behind the attack turns out to be a Chinese Dark Lord named Dr. Klahn (Han Bong-soo). In a parody of Enter the Dragon, the UK government hires Loo (Evan C. Kim playing a Bruce Lee lookalike with an Elmer Fudd voice) to penetrate Dr. Klahn's mountain fortress and destroy his operation. Loo refuses the mission at first, but happily agrees once he is told he would get to kill dozens of people. The fortress is so organized it even has its own guided tours for their storage of drugs and weapons of mass destruction. When Loo is discovered, he first defeats Dr. Klahn, then an absurd number of warriors who keep appearing in waves. Big Jim Slade from the "Wonderful World of Sex" sketch reappears to loud marching-band music, and this time he frees the fortress' prisoners, who rush to engage in battle. Alone, he then performs various bodybuilder poses in quiet ambiance. In an homage to The Wizard of Oz, Loo is sent back to Kansas after his victory and learns it may have all been a dream.

Zinc Oxide and You (1:59) A parody of classroom educational films it shows what happens to a housewife who has everything, who relies on zinc oxide; her things disappear one by one, with increasingly undesirable results.

(The name Rex Kramer would later be given to Robert Stack's character in Airplane)

They scream when she reaches "the end", but the crew runs away in time when the suspicious couple stops and turns to look at the television. The news announcer resumes his report.

Another nice print Tom.

I have never watched this film Tom, but had a look at a clip from a Fistful of Yen on Youtube, it was very good, also a title read Isle of Lucy (I Love Lucy)

Being a 1977 film, some of the comedy is quite dated and im sure the humour isn't to everyone's taste, personally, i love juvenile humour like this, especially the fistful of yen section, this and the last sketch are worth it alone, Benny Hill actually did a very toned down version of the amorous couple in front of the TV in one of his TV series, it was very clear where he got the ideas from. Some may be a little offended by some sketches however, the film is X rated so the clues are there at the start.
It was a shame that Major 8 didn't release another reel or two of this movie as they planned to but perhaps it wasn't a huge seller. Who knows.

Reel two,
Again, very nice colours, a few lines as expected and disappointingly, two sketches missing but its only around 2.20 minutes, i will get this rectified.
Whichever way i look at it, this one is a whole lot longer than ther 8mm version,
