Pacific
Banana
(1980)
Johnny's
comments:
Starting
to get back into the old
Australian movies and
can't believe I've sat on
this one for as long as I
have.
Pacific Banana is a 1980
bawdy sex comedy about
Martin (Graeme Blundell),
a pilot who has demoted
after the owner's wife
makes a play for him. He
gets sent to co-pilot for
the dodgy Banana Airlines
with lothario pilot Paul
(Robin Stewart from Bless
This House). Also, thanks
to the aforementioned
incident and another one
with her daughter, Martin
has become impotent, which
is about to become a major
inconvenience. Martin has
further problems with the
youngest daughter Julia
(Helen Hemingway from
Patrick) who has fallen
for Martin and keeps
stowing away when he
flies. Also on the flights
are Paul's two women,
Mandy and Sally (Alyson
Best from Harlequin,
bizarrely now out on
Bluray and well known 70s
model Deborah Gray), who
are the stewardesses and
are long suffering in love
with Paul, who sleeps
around all the time.
Martin's impotency problem
must be solved and Candy
Bubbles (British model
Luan Peters), who runs a
local girls club has
decided, with the help of
her girls, to cure Martin
of his problem. It's not
going to be easy, but
they're going to keep
trying until he's cured.
But, there's one girl who
will solve his impotency
are she's currently the
bane of his existence...
From notorious
producer/director John D.
Lamond (Nightmares,
Fantasm, Felicity,
Breakfast in Paris) and
written by the writer of
Alvin Purple, Pacific
Banana was apparently
supposed to be a Carry
On... style movie, but
Lamond was having none of
that and directed a movie
that's far more interested
in seeing naked women than
getting a laugh. Oh, sure
there's plenty of gags,
but they are, for the most
part, recycled from other
bawdy productions and have
become incredibly
cringeworthy and possibly
already were when the
movie was released. The
addition of a salacious,
know-it-all narrator
doesn't help and there's a
pie fight scene that would
have young children
rolling their eyes in
embarrassment. Yes,
Pacific Banana is a very
poor movie, but I can't
say it's not a watchable
movie because as it plays
very light and is jam
packed with pretty girls
and at 80 minutes it is an
easy watch that was
probably perfect for the
drive-ins back in the day.
Both lead women Alyson
Best and Deborah Gray seem
to have a lot of fun and
are under no illusions as
to what the movie is
trying to achieve. Graeme
Blundell is basically
replaying Alvin Purple and
Robin Stewart is well
cast. If you want a good
movie, Pacific Banana
ain't it. If you want to
see naked women romping
around and plenty of cheap
limp dick jokes, this
might be for you.
