A meat tenderizer?

Hey now, make a big bowl of popcorn, gather up the kids, AND LOCK THEM IN ANOTHER ROOM OF THE HOUSE before you watch this one. An X-rated gorefest from HG Lewis featuring Henny Youngman & lots of go-go dancers? What more could you ask for? Seems like some psycho is bumping off go-go dancers that all work at this sleazy club (at which Youngman presides). Some prissy private detective guy is on the trail of this killer, but all he seems to be finding is badly mutilated dancers. And these are messy, gory, bloody killings too. One scene features a woman being hit on the buttocks with a meat tenderizer, and also some spice is applied, it seems (Accent?). Like all HG Lewis films, despite the subject matter is has a sense of humor to it. I liked it just fine but how much you like this will depend on how strong your stomach is. It's not one of Lewis's best films but it's good.
