This is the summary of the original dvd-r from SWV's site:
“ Take a wild trip back to San Francisco circa 1967 with this stoned-out Double Feature! Wallow in the days when hippies and freaks ruled the counter culture, to the sounds of sitar and drum music, and the stench of grass permeating the Haight-Asbury!
A self-confirmed “hippie†(who poetically narrates the film) is looking to score some Psychedelic Sex Kicks. He used to be a square but long hair, a pair of dark sunglasses, bellbottoms, a suede vest, and living in a groovy pad with batik fabric hanging on the walls make him totally cool now. Said hippie meets two cute gals and proceeds to give them the pied-piper bit (while tooting on an actual pan pipe). They eagerly follow him to his hippie lair.
The trio immediately gets stoned. Then they drop some acid. The chicks get naked and prepare for a sensual soul-shaking experience with their new best friend. They become one with God, the universe, and each other as their “consciousness†expands. It's all about love, light and life, man. Can you dig it?
Hippie Dude's trip takes a weird turn. Next thing you know, he's in a room full of colorful balloons and a different naked chick (who resembles Yoko Ono) crawling around on the ground amongst the balloons. He tries to reach her but she keeps wriggling away from him. (Who can blame her?) Then a big-busted earth-mother type does a psychedelic freak-out dance with optical effects for him. Still not done tripping, he envisions three other girls engaged in some serious body painting which eventually turns into a free-for-all and a big-freakin' mess! You'd think he'd had enough by now, but no. It's time for kaleidoscopic visions of a beautiful foxy woman and her pet python. The hippie does not appear to dig the snake though…
Meanwhile, at the Wild Hippie Party, real-life swingers get naked, pop pills, and swill electric Kool-Aid. It's like someone set up a camera in the corner of the room with an oil-lamp projecting and said “just do your own thing.†And that they do. There's dancing, drumming, and drug use. And lots of psychedelic sexy time.
This Double Feature was touted as “2 Big Hits in Hallucinary Color!†It was shot in San Francisco by PAD Productions (the same people responsible for the outrageous theatrical short Follow That Skirt.) In retrospect, this is quite a groovy time capsule and will most definitely bring back waves of nostalgia to those nonconformists (who can still remember that era). From a “cool it with a banana skin and you'll be down†35mm print. #39714 - Lisa Petrucciâ€Comment

SHE MOB:
Shot on the sweaty backroads of Dallas and Waco, SHE MOB is an underground miracle that feels like an alt-Earth FASTER PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! as realized by a young John Waters. Big Shim is the cone-bra-wearing butch leader of a wild girl gang that's running from the law. After kidnapping a gigolo named Tony, Shim and the girls demand a ransom from Tony's wealthy lady keeper . . . OR ELSE!! Produced and directed by NBC News veteran Maurice Levy, written by Diana Paschal, and featuring actresses culled from Jack Ruby's infamous Dallas nightclub, SHE MOB is an essential jewel in the other-dimensional vortex known as Texploitation.
THE GIRL FROM PUSSYCAT:
Shot in New York with the crude experimentation of an early Andy Warhol film, THE GIRL FROM PUSSYCAT is a fascinating outlier in the world of underground exploitation. The movie follows a girl gang of social and sexual anarchists as they have orgies, get stoned, rob banks, and torture men by jamming their fingers in toasters. Absurd and surreal, this feels like the dreamy collaboration between Jean-Luc Godard and Doris Wishman that never happened.

Yes!! So much better than having it featured with some other movie it may have played alongside back in the day. I wish Mantis in Lace / Lila would have been treated in this manner instead of just the inferior alternate cut.Originally posted by Matt H. View PostComment
