The Big Snatch (1971)

Lack of good storyline.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

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

What could be better than seeing 70's softcore porn regulars Jane Tsentas, Peggy Church and Uschi Digert in various stages of nudity, ranging from full frontal to bra and panties. To reach this stage, 2 psychos kidnap 5 girls and have them jog in place, do push ups, touch their toes and stretch their bodies. All wear miniskirts...and, well, you can guess the rest. The girls are also forced to lie on their backs and stick their legs straight up in the air. Oh la la! Finally the girls get revenge and the best scene is when Peggy Church grabs a big pair of pliers and crushes the cocks of their tormenters. 70's soft core porn doesn't get much better then this.

Without a doubt one of the most obscure and underrated movies of all cult movies. If you ever get a copy of it keep it. Nobody wanted to be associated with this movie (as you will notice from the hilarious credits)but for Peggy Church and Uschi Digart it was an opportunity to land more exploitation roles in the future. The acting is atrocious, the women are all very good looking, especially Digart who was only 19 at the time, and believe me they don't make them like her anymore. The movie is funny because is so bad, but a couple of the scenes rank high in eroticism specially the ones with Uschi ( I doubt any warm blooded man can resist her charm and accent), the camera work is very good, and the reason why I like this movie is because is fast paced, corny to a fault, and dated, but still a gem of exploitation or soft-core and will give many men out there hours of viewing pleasure.

Trashfilm legend David F. Friedman ("Blood Feast" etc.) says that "The Big Snatch" was made for a mere $11.000 by a L.A.P.D. cop!! Well, them cops sure got some serious twisted fantasies! No money or talent can't hide the fact that this flick is pretty sick and disturbing. Two lowlives abduct some saucy chicks and abuse them for days even though it looks like the women are enjoyin' the rape!?! It also seems like it would be pretty easy for the women to escape from the isolated ranch. But in the end they've had enough and boobqueen Uschi Digart ("Supervixens", "Getting Into Heaven" etc.) says; "Let's sock it to'em!" and the girls castrate one guy and shag the other to death! I ain't kiddin'. As Un-PC as you can get, so of course any sleazejunkie must possess this roughie from Something Weird!
