United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Two films by Russ Meyer:
Pandora Peaks:
Treat yourself to an intimate account tof one of the most cantilevered women on Earth. Surrender yourself to Pandora's features as they burst forth through your screen to meet your fantasies.
Finders Keepes, Lovers Weepers:
Paul (Paul Lockwood) is a strip club owner, with a sexually repressed wife, who has been fulfilling his needs at the local brothel. Main madam Claire (Lavelle Roby) hatches a plan to keep him busy with whiskey and sex while a pair of thugs (Duncan McLeod and Robert Rudelson) hide out in the men's room after closing time to try their luck at cracking the safe. Paul gets a little out of hand at the whorehouse, so he's knocked out and dragged back home to his disgusted wife, Kelly (Anne Chapman). Meanwhile, the club's main attraction quits and bartender Ray (Gordon Wescourt) calls up, prompting the frustrated, confused Kelly to try her hand at the striptease herself while her drunken husband sleeps it off. She's a hit, with Ray at least, who seduces her and takes her back to his swimming pool, leaving the safecrackers free to ply their trade. When Paul sobers up and finds that his wife is missing, he heads for the club, not realizing the danger that awaits him. ...Pandora Peaks / Finders Keepers, Lovers Weepers!

When people call Meyer a dirty old man, you can usually defend him, pointing to 'Faster Pussycat' or 'Motorpsycho' but 'Pandora Peaks' is Meyer as a dirty old man, it's like a Benny Hill sketch which runs for 70 minutes even though there's really only 30 minutes of watchable footage, it's got irritating sound effects, a comedy whistle every time a bra comes off and a dogs squeaky toy effect when a nipple's touched and the voiceover's are either ridiculous or boring.
The Girls? Well, Pandora Peaks mentions her boobs are real a couple of times but she might want to look up the word 'gravity' in a dictionary and all the way through the film she strips, then strips again, then strips again, then, well, you get the picture, having said that, some of the worms eye view shots of her starkers are pretty spectacular. Candy Samples name appears on the cover but she doesn't appear until the last 10 minutes but she does manage to hold a baseball bat in her cleavage in that time, Leosha gets less air time than your local weather and the highlight for me was Tundi who does have real knockers, spectacularly real and who is at one point wearing nothing but a pearl necklace.
'Finders Keepers..' is a 60s film, a heist gone wrong but it's no 'Reservoir Dogs', it's more like an episode of 'Columbo' with strippers, an afternoon melodrama with boobs but it does have the bowling ball buttocked Anne Chapman and there's a great underwater nooky scene which the makers of 'Showgirls' must've seen although the actor involved had to get a body double because he didn't want to get his rug wet!
I'm not saying theses films are bad, they're just very average, Meyer on auto pilot, Meyer as a pastiche of Meyer, what I would advise is to buy the box set (under £20 as I write), watch the good stuff first and the poor mans Meyer last.

Meyer at his Peak
6 July 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
Russ Meyer's "Pandora Peaks" gets a bad rap, but it is a fitting final film celebrating all the sexy things Meyer celebrated. While there is no story, there is wit and self-parody. "Pandora Peaks" is a remake or a redo of his wistful "Mondo Topless" in the 1960s complete with tape recorders. I don't share Meyer's predilections, but I find a lot of things to enjoy in his films and I find them in "Pandora Peaks".
Perhaps "Pandora Peaks" is his Warhol film. You can come and go as you please. Leave it playing and check it out as you go about your household chores.
"Finders Keepers Losers Weepers", which I had not seen before, is probably more conventional and straight than his official straight films, "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" and "The Seven Minutes". Could have been better with humour, but still a good B grade thriller to pass the time away.
