In the future sexual intercourse is outlawed because of
overpopulation and almost everyone has to take a special
anti-aphrodisiac pill in order to suppress any carnal
urges. The only form of coitus allowed is done by
performers on live TV broadcasts as an aid to
masturbation. Shrewd, but down on his luck television
executive Sherman Frobish (a lively and engaging
performance by Alan Marlow), the man behind the #1 rated
program "The *Beep* and Suck Show," comes up with the
bright idea of a live sex show in which the participants
copulate while racing around on roller skates in order
to salvage his floundering career.
Director Carter Stevens and screenwriter Wesson Smith
joyfully mine an admittedly crude''n''rude, yet still
funny and amiable line in blithely lowbrow humor that
delivers several sidesplitting silly gags (the bit about
telepathic fellatio is downright hilarious and the nutty
grand finale Rollerbabies live broadcast contest
complete with enthusiastic play-by-play commentary is
likewise gut-busting). The expected explicit sex scenes
which are every bit as raw''n''raunchy as they ought to
be. The cast play the amusingly dopey material with
winning gusto, with especially stand-out contributions
by Susan McBain as sultry undercover CIA agent Miss Vice
Squad, Terri Hall as merry, wide-eyed virginal innocent
Hope Chest, striking bald African-American Yolanda
Savalas as Frobish''s ditsy secretary Alice Kojak, Mary
Stuart as lusty starlet Taffy Pull, David Williams as
famous stud Jonathan Z, and a gloriously hammy Philip De
Hatte as wacky mad scientist Professor Irving Rocksov.
Bruce G. Sparks'' cinematography makes nice occasional
use of strenuous slow motion during key "climactic"
moments. The funky-grinding score hits the lowdown
groovy spot. Best of all, a positively infectious sense
of good-natured and energetic naughty fun pervades
throughout and thus makes this flick an absolute screwy
ball to watch from start to finish. A total hoot.
