Dark Force Entertainment, with sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has three — yes, count’em, three — new additions to its popular “Drive-in Double Feature” line of Blu-ray products.
These are all new HD transfers from the original 35mm prints … street date for all three Blu-ray editions will be on Nov. 22.
First up is Drive in Double Feature #15: Flossie, Keep It Up, Jack. An “adults only” drive-in double feature (wink wink, nod nod)
Swedish filmmaker Mac Ahlberg’s adult-themed Flossie, starring Marie Forså (The Devil’s Plaything, Butterfly), was a big hit in Sweden, so it wasn’t long before a trio of different domestic distributors picked it up, dubbed into English and gave it regional (market-by-market) distribution beginning in 1976.
Teamed with Flossie is British filmmaker Derek Ford’s 1974 brothel-comedy, Keep It Up, Jack, starring Mark Jones (Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, The Girl from Starship Venus) and Sue Longhurst (Confessions of a Window Cleaner, Come Play with Me).
Keep It Up, Jack found its way to these shores in 1975.
Next up from Dark Force Entertainment is Drive in Double Feature #16: Classroom Teasers, How to Seduce a Woman.
Director Gus Trikonis’ Classroom Teasers, was originally released theatrically in 1976 as The Student Body, got a VHS release … and then resurfaced theatrically in 1981 retitled as Classroom Teasers.
Carrie (Jillian Kesner — Starhops, Evil Town, Beverly Hills Vamps), Chicago (Janice Heiden — 99 and 44/100% Dead!, The Wild McCullochs) and Mitzi (June Fairchild — Pretty Maids All in a Row, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot) are three reform school beauties who are offered clemency if they agree to be lab rats for college researcher, Dr. Blalock (Warren Stevens — Forbidden Planet, No Name on the Bullet). Naturally things with his “experiment” don’t come off as planned!!
The co-feature is writer/director Charles Martin’s 1974 sexploitation comedy, How to Seduce a Woman, starring drive-in favorite, Angel Tomkins (Prime Cut, The Teacher, Walking Tall Part II).
Rounding out Dark Force Entertainment’s Nov. 22 “Drive In” promotion is Double Feature #17: Double Nickels, Between the Covers.
Writer/director Jack Vacek’s Double Nickels arrived theatrically during the summer of 1977 and features Jack Vacek — from Gone in 60 Seconds — as a CHIP who, along with his partner, Ed (Edward Abrahms), get conned into stealing cars that they think they are “repossessing” as a part-time gig.
The co-feature, Between the Covers, is a 1973 sex-comedy from German filmmaker Ralf Gregan, starring Heidi Kappler … it was picked up and dubbed for domestic audiences and released theatrically in the spring of 1975.
