Baboon Upholstery?

This film is now circulating on cable, so there ought to be a comment for the guidance of viewers. Let's see---how can movies of this genre be distinguished from one another?

Well, this one has the following features which infrequently occur in the genre: *The Arkansas Greek Mafia, *Two women kissing, *A chain-saw in a guitar-case, *Brenda Bakke's Belly Button, *An underwater clip-reload, *A grown-up who puts on his baseball glove to go to the living room to watch the game on TV, *A chair with a baboon pattern on the upholstery fabric.
