Bat Pussy (1973)

BOMB (out of 4)

A married redneck couple are in bed trying to perform oral sex on one another while at the same time screaming insults. The husband wants his wife to re-enact pictures in his Screw magazine. After non-stop fighting Bat Pussy eventually shows up (after riding her bouncing ball) and joins the action.

I'm giving BAT PUSSY a BOMB rating because on every technical level imaginable it's a horribly made movie. There's really not a single good thing that can be said about it but that doesn't mean you shouldn't watch it. In fact, this is a very rare example of where a film's awful reputation actually lives up to the hype. Yes, BAT PUSSY is without question one of the worst films ever made and it's perhaps the most pathetic porno ever made but that's just part of the entertainment.

You can read up on the actual film but not too much is known about it. Apparently a print of it turned up in a Memphis porn theater and was eventually sold to the great folks at Something Weird Video. They released it and sure enough with a title like BAT PUSSY it became a huge hit and has gained a pretty strong cult following over the years. It's easy to see why because this is just one downright insane and totally messed up film.

The white trash couple just has to be seen to be believed. I can't help but think that they're actually related in some way and the strangest thing about their "sex" scenes is that not much ever happens. There's a lot of oral sex but for some reason no actual sex. The entire scene is just the two people cussing each other out, calling each other names and throwing one insult after another. When Bat Pussy joins the action there's just more oral sex and more insults. Why wasn't there any sex? I have no idea what was going on.

There weren't any credits so no one knows who these people are or who "directed" it. It seems the "dialogue" was just being made up on the spot as they went along. Since nothing is known about this film you can pretty much just come up with your own theory on the story behind the picture. My theory is that the man in the video had a relative die so he bought a camera. He then met a couple women in a bar and promised them fame by making an adult movie. The end result is this disaster of a film.

Everyone knows about PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, REEFER MADNESS and countless other awful movies but BAT PUSSY really deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame of awful but entertaining movies. Let's hope that there aren't any other movies like this out there waiting to be discovered.
