Michael Ledo Michael (Michael Blakney) wants to make movies. He is making a film with on again/off again girlfriend when he meets Marlene (Marlene Selsman) whose dad is a producer. It is almost a match made in heaven as her dad allows Michael to make a film, with the catch being it has to be a nudie.The film has commercial and news breaks such as "Groove Tube." It even spoofs some things from the 70's combining a spoof of "The Exorcist" and the Tidy Bowl man. The concept was poorly executed and horribly written. There are times when the mike shows up on screen (lower left).Really not worth watching.Parental guide: No f-bombs. Ample full frontal nudity, nude girls on skateboards, nude girls on motorcycles, nude girl in a lizard costume...I think you get the idea.

daniel-mannouch A few good laughs to be found which i was not expecting. Riding off the waves made by The Groove Tube and the Kentucky Fried Movie, Boogie Vision is a decent satire concerning the exploitation film racket of the 60's/70's directed by James Bryan whose filmography is notoriously hard to track down, but what's life without a few challenges? Still trying to find Lady Street Fighter and Dirtiest Game in The World at agreeable prices. I won't hold my breath.It's not as mad or rough-shot as i expected. This is no Executioner Part II thank god, but it has still got problems, most of them budgetary. Still, it's a fascinating contemporary reflection upon a fascinating time in film-making.

Alan Smithee I bought this because I've been a fan of "The Groove Tube" and similar movies like TunnelVision (I have a 35mm print of that!) and Kentucky Fried Movie, and the DVD cover claimed it was of that genre- the title Boogie Vision just about guaranteed it'd be a great movie also. Well, I just watched it and was a bit disappointed- it's more a conventional narrative about the guy making the movie, then a few random things are just thrown in (5-second news updates, a few commercials and a couple promos for phony TV shows) just to pad the running time. The animation at the beginning is pretty cool though and must have cost more money than anything else in the movie.Recommended only if you have to see every movie made in the 70s, or just a fan of bad and/or weird movies in general.

Woodyanders Struggling independent hippie filmmaker Mick (affable Michael Laibson) gets his big break after he finds out that his girlfriend Marlene's (hot blonde Marlene Selsman) father Burt (an amusingly smarmy portrayal by Bert Belant) is a movie producer. Unbeknownst to Mick, Burt specializes in porno pictures. Mick cranks out a hilariously cruddy sci-fi schlocker in three days for Burt, who demands countless changes and has a hard time figuring out how to distribute Mick's lousy flick. Writer/director James Bryan gives this delightfully screwball comedic romp an authentically hip'n'heady oddball and irreverent experimental 70's vibe while tossing in a wealth of mock TV commercials, phony news broadcasts, plentiful tasty female nudity, and even a generous sprinkling of funky animation. The loosey-goosey narrative meanders all over the place, the playful throwaway tone remains extremely silly throughout, and the cheerfully dumb and zany lowbrow humor is anything but subtle or sophisticated, but this picture still manages to be quite funny in a pleasingly goofy sort of way. Victoria Miller contributes a charming performance as flaky feminist Mouse. Popping up in cool uncredited bits are Renee Harmon as the histrionic narrator of Mick's uproariously atrocious Lizardwoman epic and beloved 70's drive-in icon Chreyl "Rainbeaux" Smith as a naked hippie chick on a motorcycle. The rough, grainy cinematography by Frank Mills gives the film a suitably raw and unpolished look. The groovy-jammin' score by Bill Spater and Gene Sturman likewise hits the loopy spot. A total wacky hoot.
