La veille de Noël, une tempête de neige fait rage. Dans le stationnement d'un centre d'achat, une automobile se gare silencieusement. À son bord, trois hommes armés et nerveux s'apprêtent à commettre un hold-up dans un magasin d'électronique. Au bout de quelques tergiversations, Normand et son frère cadet Gérard se décident enfin. Mais, alors que les deux hommes prennent la fuite après avoir vidé les coffres du magasin, le coup tourne mal et Gérard tue accidentellement un père Noël qui passait par là. La police intercepte Normand, tandis que Gérard, s'enfuit avec l'argent. Louis-Philippe Trépanier, l'animateur des Montréalités à la radio CKBG, le suit dans la tempête. Trépanier, chroniqueur ambitieux et sans scrupules, voit alors en Gérard une bonne occasion de redorer son blason auprès de Pierre Champagne, son patron. Voilà peut-être l'occasion rêvée de frapper un grand coup médiatique et enfin obtenir la reconnaissance qu'il recherche depuis si longtemps.

Les inspecteurs Lechat (Serge Reggiani) et Chemin (Philippe Léotard) entretiennent une amitié et une complicité au cours de leur travail de policier mené d'une façon assez décalée et avec un esprit libre. Lechat est considéré par ses chefs comme « star », très efficace, et ceux-ci ferment les yeux sur ses méthodes assez peu réglementaires et sur les suppléments de revenus qu'il s'offre sur le dos des voyous.

Frustrated butcher Fred Ramsden (Windsor Davies) and his dim electrician mate Ernie Bragg (Jack Douglas) happily head off for a fishing trip while their respective wives Sylvia (Liz Fraser) and Vera (Patricia Franklin) look forward to their health farm holiday. Once at the caravan site of Major Leafe (Kenneth Connor), Fred starts making eyes at a couple of gorgeous campers, Carol (Sherrie Hewson) and Sandra (Carol Hawkins). However, as Ernie talks in his sleep and any infidelities are likely to be repeated in the marital bed after their holiday, Fred is despondent. Professor Roland Crump (Kenneth Williams) teams with Roman expert Anna Vrooshka (Elke Sommer) in an archaeological dig at the site. Arthur Upmore (Bernard Bresslaw) and his wife Linda (Patsy Rowlands) are saddled with her mother Daphne (Joan Sims) and her vulgar mynah bird. Arthur is caught in a compromising position with blonde babe Norma Baxter (Adrienne Posta) whose husband Joe (Ian Lavender) is lumbered with their giant wolfhound. After a few pints with the amused pub landlord (David Lodge), Fred and Ernie discover that the caravan site is riddled with excavation holes. Daphne is perturbed by the discovery of her estranged husband, Henry Barnes (Peter Butterworth) living a downtrodden life as the camp's odd-job man, despite having won the pools. Major Leafe is determined to give the place a boost and arranges an evening cabaret for the caravanners but a mix-up over the phone secures a stripper, Veronica (Jenny Cox), rather than the singer he wanted. With Carol and Sandra having hooked up with archaeology students, Bob (Brian Osborne) and Clive (Larry Dann) Fred and Ernie pick up Maureen (Diana Darvey) and Sally (Georgina Moon), a couple of beauties from the village. Some wet paint, the rain, the collapsing tunnels and their wives soon bring their planned night of passion to a halt.
Delinquent Schoolgirls (1975)
, 1h29Origin USA
Genres Drama, Comedy
Actors Stephen Stucker, Robert Lee Minor, Michael Pataki, Colleen Brennan, George Buck Flower
Rating48%
Stucker, Minor and Pataki are cast as a gay fashion designer, a horny soul brother (catchphrase - "this is the best lookin' piece I've seen in a long time!") and an incompetent impressionist, respectively. The three escape their mental asylum and sexually assault their way into a girls' school. Their broad, knockabout performances attempt to keep the film's (fairly objectionable) content amusing rather than disturbing. The entire female cast comprises softcore porn models (mostly drawn from men's magazines of the era) who don skimpy karate costumes and violently turn the tables on their tormentors.

Upon finding a wagon under attack by bandits, two black bounty hunters, Boss and Amos (Fred Williamson and D'Urville Martin, respectively) intervene and save Clara Mae, a black woman (Carmen Hayworth). Upon inspecting the bodies, the bounty hunters find several have rewards to their name and one holds a letter from the mayor of the nearby town San Miguel inviting him to become sheriff on the recommendation of fugitive Jed Clayton (William Smith). The pair take Clara Mae to safety in San Miguel and meet Mayor Griffin (R.G. Armstrong). Knowing that there is no sheriff and holding proof that the mayor intended to give it to a gang member, Boss is able to outsmart the mayor and intimidate other members of the town council into giving him the position. As sheriff, Boss and Amos keep the peace and enforce several "Black Laws" such as issuing fines or periods in jail for calling either of them a "nigger" in public. In his duties Boss meets Miss Pruit (Barbara Leigh), a white schoolteacher, who initially offends Boss by talking of the fond memories she has of her family's black slaves, but earns his forgiveness and develops a romantic interest in him. When a gang of Jed Clayton's men meet the mayor in the town saloon to extort supplies from the town (an arrangement that the mayor allows on the understanding that the gang will do no harm to the town or its citizens), Boss and Amos kill one gang member and arrest two more - with one prisoner being killed as he attempts to escape town assisted by the mayor.
