The Big Bang

'The Big Bang' is from the people who brought you 'Jungle Burger'. It's certainly not for the prudish, but it's not pornography. I haven't seen it in many years, but I remember it as very funny and extremely strange. It is a post-Apocalypse story with mutant, multliple-breasted women firing bullets from their nipples. Ballerinas leap gracefully through the air, and the edges of their skirts cut heads off. This is set brilliantly to classical music. I also seem to remember the men retaliating with penis-shaped rockets.

It sounds crude and nasty, but it isn't. The sexual imagery isn't meant to titillate or even be funny in the same way as 'Flesh Gordon'. The images are surreal, menacing; this is about nuclear war and mutants, not orgies. It's the dead opposite of 'Yellow Submarine' in tone and accessibility, but alike in its fantastic visual playfulness. 'The Big Bang' certainly isn't for everyone, but it is good.
