Intensity	Stupidity:Nudity Ratio 3:10	Budget Low Budget

George "Buck" Flowers. Really that and a stupidity:nudity ratio of 3:10 is all you really need to know about this movie. Of course, recognizing Buck in a movie is a little like recognizing a porn actor in a main stream movie, it can take careful citing of references to avoid embarassement. (Jenna Jemminson, ahm, I think I saw her on one of the E! Entertainment specials.) You could make reference to The Wilderness Family, any one of a dozen TV shows including The Power Rangers, but you may want to skip over his collabarations with Henry Novak. Buck made his living making movies. If there was a way to make money around movies, Buck did it, maybe not well, but with enthusiasm. Besides the 140 acting credits the man has, he has also written produced and directed. On some of his smaller productions, I am sure he did even more than that. In Taking It All Off, I am not sure that the script was ever actually written, but Buck has the screenwriter credit. A follow up to Taking it Off and Taking it Off Out West, it probably mostly wrote itself.

Basically the plot is that Becky LeBeau's character is running a school that teaches women how to strip. In a odd moment of actual logic, the school offers the training for free in exchange for becoming agents for the girls, thereby earning a share of their wages. Unfortunately Becky is not having much luck until she convinces one of the local club owners to showcase her girls. He agrees when she gets Kitten Natavid to do the showcase as well. Mild trouble endangers the show but nothing that difficult or interesting. The main subplot involves Candie Evans' character who really wants to be a stripper but is unable to take her clothes off in front of people. Fortunately someone knows a hypnotist who plants a suggestion that lets her strip whenever she hears a certain song. Comedy ensues when the song chosen is getting heavy radio play and is effective even when hummed by a waiter.

Having exhaustively explored the plot, that leaves the nudity. Basically there are about 20 strip scenes in the movie and Candie probably has about seven of them. Fortunately Buck does not have any. The girls work on really small stages and the music is pretty much the same, but some of the girls are cute (especially Candie) and the movie is really good natured.
