GUMS

GUMS / Dir. Robert J. Kaplan / 1976 / USA / 66 min. / 35mm
The Olympia Film Festival is proud to offer up the most incredible and unbelievable Jaws rip-off ever
made. The residents of a small seaside town are being terrorized by an underwater menace--a creature
whose lust for depraved violence is insatiable. What is this foul denizen of the deep? It's a fellatio-mad
mermaid that will stop at nothing to devour her prey. And it's up to bungling sheriff Rooster Coxswain,
weirdo virgin scientist Dr. Sy Smegma, and crazed Nazi Captain Carl Clitoris (played by performance
art madman Brother Theodore) to stop her before the whole town is gobbled up! In an attempt to get
larger theatrical distribution, the makers of Gums tried to tone down the XXX action to get a more
acceptable single X rating. Instead of excising the "offending" scenes the producers creatively
"censored" them and in the process unintentionally created one of the weirdest and hilarious porn
movies ever. Gums truly needs to be seen to be believed!
