A deliriously funny, boundary-pushing lo-fi extravaganza of bad taste, featuring scenes of wanton exhibitionism, creepy voyeurism, sodomy, masturbation, gluttony, vomiting, rape, incest, murder, cannibalism, castration, foot fetishism, a singing prolapsed anus and the actual consumption of dog faeces. It has a killer rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack and was one of the movies most often requested by the Scala audience.

Contains scenes that some may find disturbing.
