Presented in partnership with Something Weird Video...

The American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) represents the world's largest theatrical catalog of exploitation cinema. Their home video line presents a diverse selection of movies, ranging from new preservations of classics from the vast library of Something Weird to the wildest in shot-on-video (SOV) titles. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!

The citizens of Gothum City are under attack by smut filmmakers and only one hero can help! Bat Pussy (Dora Dildo) hangs out in her secret headquarters (aka an outhouse). When her “twat begins to twitch,” warning her of imminent crime, Bat Pussy hops on her Holy Hippity-Hop to foil the grotesque sex schemes of un-happily married couple Buddy and Sam. Considered to be the first adult film parody, BAT PUSSY is a sublime-yet-nightmarish extraterrestrial experience made by outlaw filmmakers who remain unidentified to this day. AGFA + Something Weird are thrilled to present a brand new preservation of BAT PUSSY—complete with newly discovered footage and the original long-lost ending—along with a utility belt full of extras. Sheee-it!

Reviews

Strange Absurdity

"Let me start by saying that this NOT a good film. It's not well-written, not well-filmed, not well-directed, and not well-acted. It's also hilarious - but is definitely not a comedy. But that's not why people love this film. The draw for this film is the story behind it (it was found in the back of an old theater and nobody knows who made it or who acts in it) as well as the pure ineptitude that went into making it. Watching this collection of dopes bumble their way through filming one of the strangest pornos ever created is simply hilarious. Adding commentary tracks only adds to the hilarity. On its own, this film would not be worth spending money on, but the commentaries and extras are well-worth the price."

AGFA Would Find Something Called Bat Pussy

"AGFA is always finding the strangest material to release, and I can't lie, their selection always piques my curiosities. I need to know what this could even be, what the hell is Bat Pussy and will Michael Keaton make a cameo?"

— Jake B. (5/5)

Good grief. . .

"I already owned this and sold it. . . so I bought it again. I don't know why, because it's absolutely horrible! Despite this fact, it's also completely fascinating. Who made this and why? It's absolutely dreadful and in no way erotic. I don't know who to recommend it to or for what reason, yet I know I can't be without it for some reason. Oh dear. . ."

— Sam N. (4/5)

Hilarious!

"Bought this from the recent Melusine sale out of morbid curiosity and it did not disappoint. As porn, it’s terrible but as inadvertent comedy, it’s gold. The dialogue must be heard to be believed. Kinda comes across as a filthy remake of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf much of the time and mercifully, it’s under an hour so it doesn’t wear out it’s welcome. Has some fun extras as well!"

— Brandon T. (4/5)

Dirty Puck Figs

"Love it. Grimy, crusty, sleazy, horrible to experience. Good extras with commentary and other shorts. Show it to the friends you have no respect for. They’ll hate you for it. Fun!"

— James F. (5/5)

Omg AGFA lol

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the bottom of the barrel! Insane but strangely entertaining."

— Paul H. (5/5)

Happy to finally get my

"Happy to finally get my hands on a copy of this trash- what a picture. Great art on the release"

— Sam A. (5/5)

Ridiculous fun

"The title says it all, really. It’s fun and silly and honestly a good time. Give it a shot! The transfer look great too!"

— Craig K. (5/5)

Ummm

"I was warned. I think the extras may save it. Still I’m sure there are people who would appreciate this"

— Bruce K. (3/5)

Shiiit. . . It's Bat Pussy!

"Full disclosure: My wife and I did the commentary on the 2022 edition of Bat Pussy. Thus, I'm a bit biased in my review. It was an honor to be a part of this project. Every home in the US needs a copy of Bat Pussy. Forget about erotica and film-making skill; this movie has neither, but it's immensely rewarding on many levels. It's great that it was filmed in (or near Dallas); it adds to the Big D's long and illustrious history of sleaze and smut. Watch both versions of BP, listen to both commentaries, watch the crazy extras, and have a great time! This package is bigger than Buddy ever got!"

— Dennis C. (5/5)
