Trivia:
Steve Krantz wanted Ralph Bakshi to do the sequel to Fritz the Cat (1972), and Bakshi didn't want to do it. He wanted to move on and do Heavy Traffic (1973). So, Krantz hired Robert Taylor to write and direct the sequel.See more »

Witty, lively satire of the 70s., 7 March 2000
Author: Matt-377 from Charlottesville, VA

Follow up to X-rated predecessor is a witty, lively satire of the 1970s, spoofing such topics as war, race, sex, drugs, and child-rearing.

Perverse and off-color, to be sure, with potentially offensive material to certain tastes, but never fails to entertain those with open minds.

Just remember, this film was made in 1974, and it covers socially relevant material pertaining to that time period, NOT the 1990s. So don't watch it expecting to see issues that Americans face today. View it as somewhat of a period piece, and try to imagine yourself in any of Fritz's given scenarios.

**1/2 out of ****.
