| Six Swedes at a Pump (1980) 81 min aka Sechs Schwedinnen an der Tankstelle Six Suedoises a la Pompe High Test Girls Friendly Favors Swedish Erotic Sensations Swedish Gas Pump Girls |
| With Erwin Deitrich is in charge of six Swedish girls, I know I'm guaranteed a good time. This one here is no exception, and we find our Swedes out of school and working to support themselves. The cast is pretty familiar from several European exploitation and XXX films. Most notable is the presence of the one and only Brigitte Lahaie (anyone that knows me, knows I am sold on a Lahaie movie immediately, whether or not there's English audio or subs). The rest of the cast had me scratching my head a lot wondering where I had seen them before. Luckily the European Girls Adult Film Database is such a wonderful resource for cross referencing and keeping actresses straight. |
| Before the Swedes ever went to relax in the Alps, they inherited a nice little gas station with a rather large home attached to it. When we join them in the film they already have a thriving filling station for which men travel from miles around to enlist the services of. Of course this isn't just any gas station, the girls also take the men inside for a little bit of the two bear mambo. Usually the meter is left running, but remarkably none of the men complain. |
| Now, this alone would have probably made a damn fine (if not a bit repetative movie). Strap yourselves in though, because things get even better (and more repetative)! The Swedes realize that to continue running such a thriving business, they need plenty of exercise. This mostly comes in the form of running nekkid through the woods in slow motion. Although this scene did go on much longer than it probably needed to, I'll be the first to admit that these girls do look quite good in slow motion (Miss Lahaie especially, she's positioned second in line and commands most of the attention). This isn't all the girls do though, not by a longshot! They also sit around and watch televisio, but not just any television. This is some sort of interactive television of the future. News reporrters will become aroused from watching one of the Swedes through the glass, and at one point a woman on television reaches up through the set to pleasure one of our insatiable Swedes. Even though that's more than any man could ask for from an 81 minute film, the Swedes somehow manage to offer more: One night, while watching some dirty old Santa Clause movie they see St. Nick give a woman some bizarre contraption with a dildo hook up to a lever. When the lever is pushed and pulled, said dildo takes the place of a young stallione. The Swedes are inspired by this! The most mechanically inclined of the bunch, Kirsten, modifies their exercise bike so that it has a similar apparatus poke through the seat whenever the bike is pedaled. This is really nothing short of genius, Erwin Deitrich is truly a remarkable man! |
| I know this movie is sounding pretty great up to this point, but you're probably thinking, is there any conflict in the film? That's where the b-plot comes in, which is pretty much nothing but conflict...well, conflict and sex. You see, the Mayor and his council our outraged by the Swedes' behavior. Spurred on by the Mayor's wife, they decide that something must be done about this loose activity. It just so happens that the mayor's wife has her own hands full to though. Each meeting a different member of the coucil is late. While the other council members make crude jokes about what he might probably be doing, that particular council member is off getting it on with the mayor's wife. These scenes are kept from being tedious because they're quite short and the mayor's wife is played by Jane Baker, who has an amazing body. |
| The tension really starts to mount when the council realizes that their city hall is located directly over a fault line and that the local marching band won't be able to practice there without risk of damaging the foundation. Well, wouldn't you know it, the only place in the entire town that the band would be able to practice would be at the Swedes' house! Will the mayor and his chronies learn a lesson in tolerance? The results aren't too surprising, but I won't ruin the dramatic ending for those who haven't seen it. |
| This is a really light hearted and fun movie. The biggest fault by far is the repetition. Virtually every scene is acted out by every girl. This isn't a huge complaint, as a whole the cast is very attractive. For me, highlights were always Lahaie's scenes. She's especially adorable this time out as she has a stuffed poodle she likes to cuddle with (lucky thing). She obviously cares deeply for the poodle as she becomes concerned that the band is playing too loudly and upsetting the poor thing. All kidding aside though, I would say this is highly recommended for Lahaie fans. |
| ABCDVD put this one out as part of their Erotic Classics line. This is actually one of their better releases, the biggest plus being that it has an English audio option. The transfer is good looking too, and is enhanced for 16X9 TVs. I can't really describe to you the warm feeling one gets from watching this movie plastered across a large widescreen television! The trailers present on some of their other releases are gone, but I find the english track to be the much more valuable of the two features. |
| I give this one 4 Swedish entrepreneurs out of 5! |
