    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In a Dick Emery documentary Cheryl Kennedy revealed that although she took on the job knowing that she would have to bare her bare bottom in the phone booth scene at the last-minute she had a change of heart and could not go through with it. She said that Dick was very understanding and that they immediately found a "bottom double" for that one scene, She also said that she felt extremely guilty as she knew what her role would be and that she felt like she stole the part from somebody who would have been more willing to perform the scene.

    Great plot not fully thought through
    Dick Emery plays all of his most loved characters in this film. The plot revolves around Emery and his recently deceased former partner in crime. Eight women have tattoos on their bums which Emery has to find. It is actually a very clever and original plot. It would be ideal for a remake by Austin Powers. I have a feeling it could have been funnier though; probably by NOT including all of Emery's TV characters. Sometimes they appear in a very unnatural way.
