Mar 2023 *
Sure am glad I bought so many Something Weird Video dvds back in the 2000's cuz those things are either very hard to find or ridiculously priced. Love those double features. SWV put several director's filmographies on dvd over the years, including Herschell Gordon Lewis, Doris Wishman, and plenty lesser-known people. One director I discovered through Something Weird was one Bethel Buckalew, who actually may or may not have existed. I've read rumors of several exploitaiton directors getting together back in the 70's and making these movies, which none of them wanted to take credit for. So, they blamed them on poor 'ol Buckalew.
Was watching one of them the other day for the first time in a while, called Tobacco Roody. This movie is no different than all the others Buckalew directed. Heavily inspired by The Beverly Hillbillies above all. Really corny, childish hick humor mixed with one softcore fuck scene after the other.
Tobacco Roody is about this backwoods family whose drunken patriarch, Mose, has a hardon for his hot, adopted daughter, Tootie, who only really wants to go off and play with her sisters in the creek. Although they always run her off. Partially cuz they want to be left alone to eat each other's pussies, but they also genuinely hate her and don't consider her family. One day, they cover Tootie in mud and send her on her way, but after tattling on them to Mose, he comforts her the best way he knows how: By introducing her to his penis. He then slides it in Tootie and breaks her in, which in all fairness, does get her mind off the rejection. Meanwhile, Mose's wife is off fucking the sheriff, and I believe the daughters get involved in an orgy with some drunks. A pretty light-hearted, cartoonish tone to it all. No actual screen credits as they were all painted on rocks and the side of the barn, and pretty sure not only this one, but all these movies were filmed in Los Angeles, robbing them of any level of authenticity.
Tobacco Roody was released on a double feature dvd along with a film called Southern Comforts. Something Weird Video also released several other Buckalew double features such as The Pigkeeper's Daughter & Sassy Sue as well as Midnight Plowboy & Country Cuzzins.
Entertaining stuff, and a very overlooked part of exploitation history.
