United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Cast/Crew Interview(s), Featurette, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Nobody is what they seem to be in this dizzying Russ Meyer feature, and everyone is a suspect. The reclusive Adolf Schwartz (Edward Schaaf) pays for weird pansexual pleasures performed by an interracial group of prostitutes. Later, Schwartz (who bears more than a passing resemblance to a more infamous Adolf) is found murdered in his bath, the victim of a hungry piranha. That same morning, Margo Winchester (Raven de la Croix) is jogging on a mountain pass when she's abducted and raped by a local boy. She defends herself and ends up breaking her assailant's neck, an act that is witnessed by state trooper Homer Johnson (Monty Bane). He offers to falsify his report in return for Margo's abundant body, and she enthusiastically accepts. Margo and Homer shack up in his mountain cabin, and he gets her a job at Alice's Cafe, a small-town greasy spoon run by Alice (Janet Wood) and her husband, Paul (Robert McLane). Suddenly business is booming (thanks to Margo's seductive swagger and Mae West impressions) and the trio decide to open a nightclub. Opening night is a smash, until a drunk lumberjack goes ape after witnessing Margo's sultry dance routine. The resulting fracas ends with an axe in Homer's chest and a wild moonlit chainsaw fight. But who murdered Adolf Schwartz? That mystery is solved in not one, but three epilogues which concern the identities of Eva Braun Jr., an undercover police officer and a closet white supremacist, who all fight to the death with a pistol, a dildo, and kung-fu. The action is explained and commented upon by the buxom, perpetually nude Greek Chorus (Francesca 'Kitten' Natividad), who quotes Shakespeare and attempts to raise the story to the level of classic farce. ...Up! ( Over, Under and Up! ) ( Russ Meyer's Up )

Format:DVD
This is probably Meyer's oddest film with a confusing story that I'm not entirely sure made sense, it starts with an Adolf Hitler character getting whipped and pummelled into a sticky climax in more ways than one, then the rest of the film purports to be about looking for the murderer but it's no Agatha Christie novel.
Kitten Natividad narrates the tale wearing a pair of leather boots at the most, we get fleeting glimpses of Elaine Collins, Candy Samples, Su Ling and Foxy Lae but the star of the show is Raven De La Croix, buxom, doe eyed, smouldering but with an odd Bugsy Malone like accent, she's really put through the ringer in this film, beaten, half drowned, stripped, raped, stabbed and she does more running than Ronnie Biggs, fortunately for us, a naked Raven De La Croix running through the woods is something to behold.
There's the odd laugh, a lot of big fake dongs and a bucket load of nudity but this film lacks the spark of earlier Meyer films and it's a shame that Raven didn't get a few more starring roles because, shock horror, she can actually act, unlike some of Meyer's other starlets.
A couple more things, you get two interviews as extras, a charming Raven and Kitten who's always a sweetheart and I'd reccomend buying the Meyer box set rather than individual titles because once you see one Meyer film, you'll want to see tham all.

This is one of these great films that one saw many years ago and it is just great to view it once again.
From the funny first scenes of whips, chains and fish and the great girls in the raw, in hitlers cave of delights, to the cafe and dance scenes, to the great out doors. I'm not going to give away any of the plot in this film, just to say if your a Russ Meyer's fan this is one of his one of his best films of old and it was just great seeing it again.

up is neat
4 Oct 2002
Format:DVD
"Up" is so much better than other soft porn movies. It has lots of large, naked breasts and bizarre, creative dialogue and plot. The acting, cinematography, editing and picture quality is all top-notch stuff. However, I'm not sure it is worth the exhorbitant price. If Russ is going to charge 30-40 dollars for his fine films, he could at least spend an hour and a half doing a commentary track.

Entertaining Movie!
6 Aug 2004
Format:DVD
This turned out to be a very enjoyable movie. The actress who played the role of Margo Winchester,Raven De La Croix actually
made this movie.
A German(Nazi) type person is killed after someone slips a
pirana into his bathtub.Undercover agent Margo Winchester makes
her entrance by jogging down the highway.She is nearly raped and killed by one of the locals.She soon gains the confidence of the locals and begins investigating the murder.There is also a good
action scene involving an Indian maiden.The true murderer is
finally revealed after our hero Margo Winchester is stabbed.Her
and the murderer have a nude battle all over the countryside.She
turns out to be a Los Angeles Police Detective.A very good movie
on the Russ Meyer scale. I only wish the Raven De La Croix had made more movies.

It is a movie where Meyer's special talents produce a near-perfect example of stimulating erotica...
18 Jan 2009
Format:DVD
The film begins quite mysteriously in a dungeon where a young man is torturing an Adolf Hitler look-alike... We then quickly cut to a stunning nude, played by Kitten Natividad, who teasingly introduces the audience to the setting...
We are in Northern California, in a small, rural community... Just outside of town, a very beautiful, buxom young lady is hitchhiking along a lonely country road... She is picked up by a young man, who happens to be the infant terrible of the local rich set... He tries to take advantage of the girl's abundant sexuality but after a short sequence involving a brutal rape, she turns the tables and ends up killing him...
Russ Meyer has never been one to linger too long on a single shot... He likes to cut, especially to ladies running naked as jaybirds around the lush countryside... In this case, however, he has added more than just a tease with Kitten Natividad, who narrates the events of the story with a husky, British accent while displaying her terrific figure... The true star of the show, however, is Raven de la Croix, whose piercing dark eyes and fully rounded, voluptuous figure combine with some firmly loyal acting for an explosive performance...
