Review: The Ormonds’ last pre-Jesus movie is one of the most amazing exploitation movies ever made. Because of problems with the lab that processed the prints, it was withdrawn from distribution shortly after its release and remained unseen for nearly 20 years. This one has it all: nudity, gore, drugs, a monster, music, comedy and impossible-to-duplicate 60’s New Orleans local atmosphere. The introduction (spoken by Ron Ormond) is a mondo-style look at Bourbon Street nightclubs. Ron plays Nemo, a drug-dealing gangster who runs one of the clubs. He has amazing hair with bangs, always wears dark sunglasses, and smokes cigars. A pretty tough character, he orders his men to dump the full contents of a large spittoon down the throat of a double-crosser. June is Bunny, the most cheerful (“Okey-dokey!”), sweetest, hip grandmother type imaginable, usually seen in solo close-ups wearing wild glasses and hats while auditioning new strip acts. She even does an act of her own with an LSD reference. Sleepy LaBeef, a huge 50’s rockabilly singer from Smackover, Arkansas, who once toured with Elvis and still records and tours, makes his acting debut as “The Swamp Thing,” snorting and grunting while wearing a loincloth, fake teeth, a fright wig, and some hair pasted on his chest (sometimes). Nemo has him captured and makes him a Mighty Joe Young type of attraction. The “monster” tears off a man’s arm and beats him to death with it, rips off a dancer’s breast (offscreen) and, as part of a stage show, actually geeks a (real, live) chicken and drinks its blood: “The screams from these living animals will make the strongest man vomit!” Tim Ormond Plays Tim, a backwoods boy who becomes the monster’s trainer, and sings a hard-to-forget prerecorded song (“The hurt goes on and on and on and on and on and on”) in a double-tracked voice. The monster falls for the nice girl (“Some idiot dame trying to break into this crazy rat race they call show business!”), who does an excellent job lip-synching to a very soulful song (actually by a high-pitched black singer). The best of many bizarre and entertaining strip acts is Titania, a mean-looking wild woman with lots of eye make-up who does an incredible acrobatic act (twirling flaming tassels), eats fire, and dances. She also starts a good cat fight backstage. More fun characters, like an undercover cop in a straw hat, has great dialog (“That big peckerwood!”) help make The Exotic Ones a must-see item by the incredible Ormonds. It was shot (partially) on location in New Orleans and in the Okefenokee Swamp. The interiors were shot in the same Nashville studio where Elvis recorded “Heartbreak Hotel,” owned at the time by the United Methodist Church!
