    OK, this is an incredibly stupid German sex comedy, but it does have several things going for it. It has a pretty cool setting up in quaint a mountain village in the Bavarian Alps. It also is very energetic for a low-budget sex comedy with characters running all over the place, driving motorized vehicles at full-speed, and there's even a long Buster Keaton-like sequence with a character hanging off a chairlift as it goes up and down the mountain (people rarely devote this kind of energy to a sex flick these days). It also has a strange kind of freakshow appeal with two of the characters, one of whom (dubbed as an Italian lothario type) is very close to being a midget while the other (dubbed with a Swedish accent) is definitely a giant (he's at least eight feet tall!). And, of course, there's the girls: the three main Frauleins who are in this are all absolutely gorgeous and, as per the English title, they all have very nice "bottoms" and they sure spend a lot of time with them "up".

    The plot is complete nonsense, but it has something to do with a male and female spy trying to recover a formula that turns bullsh*t into gasoline. The formula has ended up hidden in this village somehow after being printed on some characters butt and, oh, who really cares? The really bad part of the movie though is the English dubbing. I'm sure a movie like this isn't riotously funny or cleverly satirical in its native German, but when the clowns doing the English dubbing got ahold of it, they undoubtedly made it far, far worse. For all anyone knows, when they dubbed this to English they may have completely made up the jokes and the dialogue as Woody Allen famously did with a cornball Japanese film in his "What's Up Tiger Lilly". But whereas Woody Allen was far more funny and talented than the people whose film he was re-dubbing, the jokers that did this one (and a lot of European sex comedies of this era) definitely weren't. I don't expect anyone will ever go through the trouble to subtitle movies like this, but they should consider just releasing them as latter-day silent movies. Trust me, it would be a definite improvement

    A scientist develops a special formula that has the power to turn horse manure into fuel. Unfortunately, the formula is stolen and taken to a remote Alpine village, where a couple of secret agents are dispatched to regain it.

    That's the basic plot of BOTTOMS UP, a lowbrow West Germany sex comedy released in 1974. Not that you'd know from the atrocious English dub of this movie, which is one of the crudest and most offensive I've ever sat through. Forget those mildly entertaining kung fu dubs, the English dubbing here is the dumbest ever and bears little relation to the actual story of the film, I'm sure. It's so stupid that characters refer to themselves being in the movie throughout, so that the unfortunate viewer has little idea of what's really supposed to be happening.

    Not that the film itself is very good: as a sex comedy, it's neither sexy nor particularly funny. The storyline consists of three actresses who end up undressing and finding themselves in compromising situations throughout the running time, alongside lots of chasing and unfunny situations. The actors mug for all their worth but in the end it's the horrendous dub that really sinks this one and makes it horrible to sit through.

    "Auf der Alm da gibt's koa Sünd" or "Bottoms Up" is a West German movie from 1974, so this one is already over 40 years old. The title already tells you the locations where the film takes place as well as the heavy Bavarian impact in here and also that this is one of the (in)famous German sex comedies from the 1970s. If you take a look at the names of the people who made this, your alarm bells may possibly ring. Gottlieb and Frank are known for more German sex comedies that do not really deserve the name comedy though as they really aren't funny at all. And this one here also does not deserve the name sex because it is, despite the rating, fairly harmless and there is not half as much intercourse and nudity in here compared to a Erwin C. Dietrich film from the same time for example. It is a relatively short film as the version I watched only runs for 80 minutes. Still 80 minutes too many. The problem isn't even that none of the actors in here are not known at all and that most of them have little to none acting talent. The problem is the story, which is almost non-existent. They go for cheap laughs, occasionally try to turn the audience on with some (implied) nudity, but it is never working at all and in my opinion this is not a creative achievement, but rather a film that never should have been made. I think it is completely forgettable. The chicks aren't too hot in here, so it's not even worth checking out if you are horny. Apart from that, you also see almost nothing in here that may help you in terms of blowing off steam. It is mostly a comedy for sure, but from that perspective also utter garbage. I am repeating myself, so I will stop the review not. Not even the mountain cinematography is worth mentioning. A disaster from start to finish and I highly suggest you watch something else instead.

    After hearing from a friend about how much he enjoyed watching a German Sex Comedy called Swedish Playgirls, which I had picked up for his birthday earlier in the year,I decided that for a Christmas present,I would pick him up a German Sex Comedy,that would literally hit the "bottom" of the barrel!, of the sub-genre.

    The plot:

    Discovering that he has found a way to transform cow manure into oil,Prof.Solo visits a local gas station,so that he can fuel up his car,and then drive to a near by big city.As he waits for his car to be filled,Solo is shot in the bottom by 2 spy's who are desperate to get hold of his discovery for themselves.Fearing that he is about to die,Solo passes the micro film to the gas station owner,who he request to keep his manure discovery out of the smelling distance of the two deadly spy's.

    View on the film:

    Opening with an extremely catchy title track,director Franz Josef Gottlieb gives the movie a charmingly slap-dash atmosphere,with Gottlieb juggling a wacky mad scientist spy adventure,with very good broad slap- stick moments,which are given an additional alluring boost,thanks to a ravishing performance from Eva Garden.

    For the screenplay of the film,writer Hubert Frank decides to take a detour from the central plot of the movie,and to instead take a close look at the residence of Solo's town.Whilst Frank's approach does allow for some extra flesh barring,daft,fun moments to be included,it also leads to the paternally wonderful manure scientist V deadly spy's plot to become overly stretched and muddled,which leads to this movie not being able to fully pull itself up from the bottom of the pile.
