The Big Snatch (I) (1971)
Decent 70's Sexploitation Flick
1 February 2007
Warning: Spoilers
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
