Up

Director: Russ Meyer
USA: 1976
With: Edward Schaaf, Mary Gavin: includes a gay rape scene:

A Russ Meyer-movie with a gay scene? Yes, sir, and even though it's bizarre and over the top, here it is! The plot? Hmmm...:A Hitler lookalike called Adolph Schwartz is killed and the local sheriff rounds up the suspects. The rest is mayhem. You expect fun and tons of sex when Russ Meyer is in charge, but the gay rape scene is definitely a first, even for him. This wild and crazy thing was written by movie-critic maestro Roger Ebert who also wrote Meyer's camp classic Beyond the valley of the dolls (which featured a transvestite.)
