More mondo
Offsetting the globetrotting shock of this film - watch a woman bite off a reindeer's scrotum with her bare teeth! - is the voice of George Sanders, perhaps way too sophisticated a man for such an endeavor. That said, money is money, and it's time for Gianni Proia to take us all around This Shocking World (the other title for this mondo).Beyond the expected lesbians and strippers - show me a mondo that doesn't have those and it's amazing that I am seeing them as commonplace at this point - you also get a trip to the original Grand Guignol and get to watch a man repeatedly impale himself.
The US version - re-edited with a new commentary by absolute maniac Bob Cresse and with an Italian title that means "look here" - adds scenes from World by Night No. 2, another Proia mondo, with bodybuilding showgirls, Roller Derby and some vacation footage. Consider it like watching snaps from holiday, except the vacation goers have no compunction showing you absolute filth.
