We start this "2 DVD Edition" with previews of other lovingly remastered smut films, including the Grindhouse Occult Collection (THE SINS OF REVEREND STAR and NIGHT OF SUBMISSION) and the triple-X version of SYBIL, SYLVIA.
Moving past some facial-fueled opening credits we find our hapless heroes Barney (Zebedy Colt) and Chuck (Roger Caine) being dispatched to the airfield to repair some telephone equipment. Inspired by Chuck's interest in the travel guide Sexy Europe the pair stow away on a small plane, only to be caught and kicked out in mid-air.
Parachuting onto the site of the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany they promptly meet a friendly fraulein, Gretchen, who takes them to her place for beer and blowjobs. Well, one blowjob anyway, as Barney is the odd man out when Gretchen shows a preference for Chuck's American sausage.
Once Chuck frosts Gretchen's ass there's a wee bit of slapstick as the Americans fail to maintain jobs at her father's beer hall. Subsequently they get a job "bodyguarding" blond beauty queen Miss Bavaria, and misbehavior soon follows as the prize-winner doffs her sash and requests a massage. But just as Barney's getting into it, "Ach, American swine I kill you!" Miss Bavaria's mother, looking like Shelly Winters in a bright red Hindenburg sweater, comes storming in. But instead of bashing in Barney's skull, Mama begins pounding him in the face with her mammoth breasts. Which, inexplicably, are suddenly bare. Chuck meanwhile gets some head from Miss Bavaria, who gets a gob in the kisser for her efforts, and Mama kicks the American swine out into the street.
The boys' next gig, as waiter and doorman at a mob-owned strip club, also affords sexy complications when Chuck starts romping in the lederhosen of Leeza, the wife of murderous club owner Wolfgang. Running away from this fiasco the lads find themselves in a whorehouse, and the unfortunate boys are forced into a sexual situation yet again. Even Barney gets his rocks off this time as he and Chuck enjoy a pair of honey blondes in one of the red light rooms.
Somehow the Americans are then conscripted into working for a Joel Murray look-alike, but they bail out of this position as well and wind up stealing a VW van and escaping to a ski resort in the Alps. And who should they meet there but Gretchen and her sexy blond girlfriend Karen, who promptly invite the nice American boys to a party at their chalet.
Multiple orgasms later there's a post-coital pool party at which wacky naked hijinks take place, all of course leading to the second phase of the orgy. After many more big splashes there's a water-wrestling grudge match with Wolfgang that ends with what might be considered a spoiler.
A mildly amusing romp through the streets and whorehouses of Bavaria, accompanied by German march and waltz music, PLAYGIRLS OF MUNICH really delivers on the triple-X front. There are literally loads of action scenes, and the bevy of hot natural German girls is a plus (with most of them being blond to boot). I don't know if I'm a huge fan of the screwball comedy-style porn, but at least it doesn't take itself too painfully seriously.
Extras on disc one include the After Hours Preview Vault and Trailer Vault, which in addition to the previews already seen offer us glimpses of such throwaways as BUSTY SUPERSTARS OF THE 1970S and DARIAN CANE EXPOSED, along with Golden Age smutfests like A TOUCH OF GENIE and CHIC 69.
Disc two is all bonus material. We begin not with trailers but with a vintage set of loops that appear to be complete 8- or 16mm shorts (albeit sometimes marred by ridiculous dubbing). In SWEDISH SINGING a hausfrau rides her aristocratic hubby's "bratwurst" ("Get it? Mein dick!") while their maid peeps on them and gets hot pants. Pretty soon the maid is getting in on the action too, all three of them going at it while an automated toy dog watches (?). Careful, there's some raging bush in this one! In SEX BOUTIQUE a pair of girls are shopping at Schwabylon (great name!), where trying on clothes means engaging in an anonymous three-way schtup-fest with some guy whose dickhead looks like a crushed mushroom. MEASURING MEAT begins with two young ladies looking at anatomy textbooks and comparing the size of their husbands' schlongs. Of course to make sure their measurements are truly accurate they have to call in the fellows and get them hard, and you know where things go from there. Hey, is that a big ol' genital wart on that guy's shaft? DIE VEREINIGTEN SCHWEINE not only features a Manson-approved anti-American political poster but also a meal so lousy that the hippie krauts being served turn it into an orgy instead. One lone blond even performs the most acrobatic bottle insertion I've ever seen. Finally, DANISH DELIGHT jumps right into some truly frightening fellatio performed by a cadaverous looking broad. Other sex follows.
Additional "DVD Extras" consist of a sizeable After Hours Cinema trailer vault that includes the legendary roughie FORCED ENTRY and the hippie fuck-fest FIRE IN HER BED, complete with animated interludes.
