Tobacco Roody & Southern Comforts [DVD] [1971] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

NUDTY!!!The clothes come off quick and often. Wow. The best something wierd video I've ever seen. Good looking girls big boobs, lots of bush. Its great! Both movies have alot of nudity even some quick spread eagle shots. The second film ends with a nude beauty pagent. All the girls from the movie get naked! Full Frontal. The sex is lame and very fake softcore, sept for alittle quick guy to girl oral. As far as story, lots of lame jokes and stupid plots. But it didn't matter cause all these girls like to get naked. Highly recommended!

Ah, where to begin with Tobacco Roody. One of the more underrated films of 1971, this hillbillies-n-hayseeds flick nevertheless deserves its own special place in '70's rural americana pop culture. I have never seen a movie quite like it and likely never will again. A very strange but ultimately enjoyable film, it manages to somehow be charming despite its shoestring budget ( Hey, you gotta love any movie that features the opening credits in paint on the side of a barn!) and features a wonderfully silly-for-the-sake-of-being-silly script.

Basically, the movie traces the events in a single afternoon in the lives of a group of country bumpkins in the small, rural, West Tennessee farming community of Tobacco Roody, whose horniness and libidoes are exceeded only by their sheer stupidity. Among the host of characters are main protagonist Farmer Mose, his niece Tootie whom he displays lascivious (and incestuous) affections towards, his bored wife and two sapphic-tendencied daughters, an easily distracted sheriff, a trio of brain-dead hayseeds and even an inexplicable French tourist girl (!?!) for good measure.

Somehow these characters all come together in this zany plot, if it can truly be called that. Of course, it all amounts to LOADS of bare skin and some surprisingly graphic sex scenes. In fact, there's so much nudity and sex in this film that one get's the impression that there's not very much else to do in Tobacco Roody but get liquored-up and make love, aside from farming and making moonshine. It's not exactly porn, per se, but it's pretty damn close. Easily earns its X-rating.

So what made this film work for me? Well, aside from the prerquisite gobs of nudity, it also has a charming, unmistakeable early '70's vibe, some genuinely funny scenes, some really stupidly funny lines and is also hilighted by a very good soundtrack featuring several Johnny Cash songs. The dvd is a nice one, too, and the video transfer is an impressive one. The movie hardly shows its age and I never once got the impression that I was watching a truly shoddy or poorly-made motion picture. For a low-budget movie, it is actually made quite well and you can tell the filmmakers put a definite sense of fun into making it.

If you like to laugh and don't mind the occasional insult to your intelligence, do yourself a favor and see Tobacco Roody. You might lose a tiny bit of respect for yourself afterwards, but chances are you'll have had a fun time doing so.

Both Tobacco Roody/Southern Comforts are pointless and plotless "Hillbilly" movies with really goofy acting BUT with a ton of hot and young naked girls. My personal favorite is Dixie Donovan.

As always with Something Weird, there is a ton of bonus material on this DVD. You get 11 theatrical trailers featuring more "Hick" themed movies: Bad Georgia Road, Bootleggers, The Farmer's Other Daughter, Hillbilly Hooker, Hot Summer in Barefoot Country, Man and his Woman, Miss Jessica is Pregnant, Preacherman, Preacherman Meets Widderwoman, This Stuff'll Kill Ya!, and The Year of the Yahoo!.

There are two short subjects: Hillybilly Bride and Take Me Back to West Virginia. You also get Harry Novak's Gallery of Exploitation Art with Soundtrack Greatest Hits along with audio commentary from Harry Novak and, I believe, Johnny Legend.

Of course Harry is absolutely hilarious and never ceases to point out the color of the girl's privates along with the "bobbing" action of each girl's stomach during certain scenes.

Early 70's Harry Novak Hillbilly Soft-core brought to you by the "weirdos" at Something Weird Video. Can't get no better than this!

I am a fan of vintage/ cult films and I think this is great! We have the ability to see and view adult content without the government telling us as leagle adults what we can view. It's very campy and funny and down right good old fashion love making at it's finest (given the times- the mid 60s' and 70s').

Let me start here: "Warning-This program cuntains nudity, sexual situations, and some of the dumbest characters ever seen on film". That disclaimer is printed on the back of the case and it means two things-truth in advertizing and a lot of fun. The girls are cute (remember this is the 70's so no silicone or shaving), the dialogue is lame, and the plot-wait what plot no that was another movie! Kinda hard to rate this as a whole-Tobacco Roody is a 5, Southern Comforts gets 4 (coupla kinda crude bits), and the "extras" are pretty much just filler, I doubt you'll watch them more than once. So that's why we rated it only 4 overall. For this type movie and at this price go ahead you can't go wrong!
