Platinum Pussycat / The Sexploiters (Double Feature / 2 Disc DVD)

THE PLATINUM PUSSYCAT (1968) Framed for the brutal murder of her boyfriend, Dena (the gorgeous Sandy Roberts) goes on the lam to locate the killers and avenge his death.

Part sexploitation film, part action-thriller, Platinum Pussycat serves up a dizzying dish of guns, gangsters, frogmen, car chases and naked flesh in a combination of b&w and color inserts that result in an absurdly satisfying piece of psychotropic cinema!

Carol is taken to Kuma to succeed the almost-immortal Ayesha as empress of Kuma. I think this is a worthy sequel to the Cushing "She". Olga Schoberová hasn't much to say but did not need to be dubbed as she can at least string a sentence together. (Unlike Ursula.) The story follows up where She left off but that is not obvious until half way through the film. If you are looking for a modern day formulae (obligatory love scene with 20 seconds of bare breasts, three way
