 Entertaining Movie! August 6, 2004
Melvin Hunt (Cleveland,, Texas United States)
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This turned out to be a very enjoyable movie. The actress who played the role of Margo Winchester,Raven De La Croix actually
made this movie.
A German(Nazi) type person is killed after someone slips a
pirana into his bathtub.Undercover agent Margo Winchester makes
her entrance by jogging down the highway.She is nearly raped and killed by one of the locals.She soon gains the confidence of the locals and begins investigating the murder.There is also a good
action scene involving an Indian maiden.The true murderer is
finally revealed after our hero Margo Winchester is stabbed.Her
and the murderer have a nude battle all over the countryside.She
turns out to be a Los Angeles Police Detective.A very good movie
on the Russ Meyer scale. I only wish the Raven De La Croix had made more movies.
an enjoyable anti-fascist movie April 28, 2005

I can contrast UP! with Jurgen Syberberg's film, "Our Hitler," a numbing film of some 9 hours which states that Hitler was guilty, Germany was guilty, and everyone was guilty. So no one is guilty! Hitler walks as a result of this tedious, boring film that puts the viewer in a trance.
Meyer, on the other hand, gets rid of Hitler so fast with a piranha fish in his bathtub. And the movie is good anti-fascist soft porn! It does make fun of Nazis, and I recommend this film as an antidote to Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will." Obviously, Riefenstahl's movie is a work of evil art. But Meyer, in a strange way, does make fun of it.
Oddly enough, Meyer's films have been a hit in the Western zone of Germany, formerly the region of the nation that had embraced Hitler.
The movie has qualities of melodrama and subtle political messages.
Strongly recommended as an antidote to fascism and the morality of the right wing.

"Up" is so much better than other soft porn movies. It has lots of large, naked breasts and bizarre, creative dialogue and plot. The acting, cinematography, editing and picture quality is all top-notch stuff. However, I'm not sure it is worth the exhorbitant price. If Russ is going to charge 30-40 dollars for his fine films, he could at least spend an hour and a half doing a commentary track.
Hitler's Topless Chainsaw Massacre April 17, 2007

Doesn't make a lick of sense and isn't titallating but it's quite amusing. As usual ther's some innovative photography and ridiculously large body parts. If you're a Russ fan, you'll want to see this.

Meyer's films seemed to get more and more bizarre near the end of his directing career. Up! is definitely his wildest in terms of both sex and violence. Like with most of Meyer's films, there is a plot to follow, but it's not much to talk about and only serves as a reason to string endless sex scenes together. Plotwise, it has Raven De La Croix drifting into a small town and getting involved with the sexcapades of a local married couple who own a diner. That's the plot in the most basic of terms, but throw in a horny sheriff, an insane juggernaut lumberjack, a Hitler wannabe, and a killer on the loose, and you've got the recipe for a crazy ride. The killer wears black gloves, making it almost seem like a Russ Meyer "stab" at a giallo! Speaking of a killer, this film is probably Meyer's most violent. He'd usually throw in dashes of violence in previous films(the murder in Supervixens is kinda shocking and unexpected in it's brutality), but here he's upping(no pun intended)the ante a bit, even including a chainsaw murder. There are two brutal rape scenes that are rather unpleasant. All rape scenes are unpleasant, but there's something especially disturbing about zany cartoon sound effects being used during them. This may put off some folks, even those who usually enjoy Meyer's movies. Then of course there's the sex. As in Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens, Meyer makes it his mission not to let 5 minutes of screen time pass without nudity and/or sex. You're bombarded with so many images of beautiful female anatomy that you almost become desensitized, if such a thing is possible! The sex in Up! is about as dirty and graphic as the law will allow without being a full fledged porno film, so don't watch it with the kiddies. The sex is also a bit more extreme than in previous Meyer films. Meyer was an old fashioned kinda guy when it came to sex, he liked no "freaky" stuff. Here he delves into S&M, oral sex and even a scene with two men! New territory for Russ. The long rubber male appendages used to a humorous, yet restrained degree in Supervixens are all over the place here, probably to make the male viewer feel inadequate. Once again, Russ shows us that he can photograph the female body like no one else. Kitten Natividad is the narrator who's nude the entire film, and looks stunning. Raven De La Croix(a long time obsession of Meyer's) isn't the most attractive woman, but you certainly can't take your eyes off the woman's body. Many more yummy woman are in and out of the film, but these two woman you will go away remembering. Even with all of it's excessiveness, Up! is a very entertaining and funny film is you don't take any of what you're seeing seriously. Well, I don't see how you could considering the whole thing is just too silly. It's a must for Meyer fans, and certainly recommended for trashy sex/exploitation/cult film lovers. UP!!!!!!!!!!!
