The Masturbating Gunman
2000, 1080hd
Johnny's comments:
The incredibly obscure Australian cult film The
Masturbating Gunman was recently released by boutique
distributor Severin on Bluray in America despite it
being not available in Australia at all, so it's time
to finally have a look at it.
The Masturbating Gunman aka Masked
Avenger Versus Ultra-Villain in the Lair of the Naked
Bikini is a 1997 exploitation thriller where The
Masked Avenger (Robin Brennan) is a man who helps
people with a particular set of problems. He can find
any woman in the world just by smelling their
underwear, which he demonstrates when he finds a woman
who has being kidnapped to be sold off to sex
traffickers. But he has one weakness: He can't help
but masturbate when he sees a woman. Meanwhile Gunta
(Peter Beitans), has just been let out of prison after
12 years and immediately takes control of his crew,
who are listless and broke. He also proclaims that he
is going to make a son with the most pure woman in the
city. Turns out all the women are impure with even
school girls being trained to be table-top dancers
(there's a 90s reference if ever there was one) but
they finally find a virgin worthy of bearing Gunta's
son: Sister Mary (Nene Powell), who is then kidnapped
and brought to Gunta. There's just one problem and
it's a big one; Mary's brother is The Masked Avenger
and she just happened to leave a pair of her panties
behind before being kidnapped. He finds her panties
but is still clueless as to her whereabouts. As Gunta
prepares for his moment of triumph, Sister Mary
decides that the best defence is attack and lets
herself be ravaged by Gunta's crew, ridding her of her
purity and while she's at it, stealing all of their
guns. The Masked Avenger tracks down Gunta but he is
not going down without a fight as he has an array of
sexy women to distract our hero.
Completely ridiculous low budget
exploitation movie that works because it has a silly
idea and just runs with it with glee. Lots of
unrepentant silliness, very 90s (some of the
references are the most 90s things I've ever seen) and
a result that delivers exactly what it sets out to do.
You could easily nit-pick it's faults but why bother,
it's clunkiness is part of the charm. If you're into
exploitation, this movie is a perfectly fine watch.
Also below is a HD redux of the
director's next movie, Sensitive New Age Killer which
with it's higher budget and being far better looking
technically ended up getting a cinema release locally.
Also worth a look, particularly if you are into 90s
Hong Kong action movies, which it is clearly
influenced by. It also briefly features The
Masturbating Gunman on TV during one scene.
Scoop's
additional notes:
The film is also known as "Masked Avenger Versus
Ultra-Villain in the Lair of the Naked Bikini."
One of its stars is Limpy the Goat, in the
challenging role of Limpy the
Goat. Per IMDb, Limpy has no other
film credits.
One IMDb commenter noted:
"It's Japanese in its focus, subject matter and
politics, but it was made in Australia by an
Australian director whose other films don't come
close to the insanity on screen here. I'm not going
to detail the plot, but let's just say that the
original title is THE MASTURBATING GUNMAN. A gunman
gets on the trail of kidnapped women he gets hired
to locate by sniffing the crotches of their soiled
underwear. The plot involves the gunman's search for
a nun, his sister. In one bravura sequence, the
trapped gunman, inspired by his sister's panties,
kills his enemies by firing large loads of his own
acidic semen at them."
