Oliver is in trouble. He's been caught embezzling money from his father's company, and unless he can pay back the $250,000 he took (which he can't), he will be fired from his job, arrested and probably sent to jail. Meanwhile, his rich wife has not only refused to bail him out of this mess, she's planning to divorce him. Desperate, Oliver thinks up a way out. He takes out an insurance policy on his wife with him as the beneficiary, then hires a hit man to kill her. The only problem is that because the doctor who performed the examination is an incompetent fraud, the insurance policy is invalid. Desperate to call off the hit, Oliver tracks down the hit man, only to find that he's subcontracted the killing to another hit man. Tracking down that killer reveals that he, too, has hired it out to a third person, and so on, and so on. Just how many people are trying to kill Oliver's wife?

Michael Anthony
Can any man be a great lover? Does every man possess a "special something that makes him irresistible to women?" That’s the question answered in this crackpot flick from the depths of ’70s Soft-X Smut as it follows the unlikeliest candidate for super-stud the world has ever seen: Finster Fahrquart, The Sexpert. Finster doesn’t know the first thing about seducing and satisfying a woman and, instead, mugs and pratfalls his way through a series of sexual episodes involving a titty bar, a computer date with a blonde bombshell, a hayseed honey, a lonely virgin in the park, a married woman in a grocery store, three massage parlor girls, and even an orgy complete with shag rugs, body painting, reefer, and snakes. Each encounter plays like an old stag joke and Finster, like the silent-screen comedian he’s imitating, never utters a word.

Planeta prohibido
Voice of Robby the Robot
Reconocido como uno de los clásicos de la ciencia-ficcion adulta, Forbidden Planet es una de las grandes películas realizadas durante la década de los cincuenta, junto con otras como La invasión de los ladrones de cuerpos (Invasion of the body snatchers, 1956), El increíble hombre menguante (The incredible shrinking man, 1957), y Ultimátum a la Tierra (The day the earth stood still, 1951). Pero su importancia va mas allá, pues Planeta Prohibido también representa un germen sobre el cual mucha de la ciencia-ficción para la pantalla grande y pequeña se iba a desarrollar a partir de la década de los sesenta. No es difícil ver en los tripulantes de la nave espacial los futuros antecesores de los tripulantes del Enterprise en Star Trek y en el robot a un ancestro de C3PO.
