This movie is DEFINITELY not the one you want. It's been completely edited out and watered down. It's a sham that they dare to put the "R" label on this movie when it's been edited down to something tamer than you see on NBC or CBS. Could potentially even be considered fraud to advertise this as an "R" version.

This is the version you do not want. There is another version
out there which is the one you want, but this one isn't it . Take my word for it.

This is the version you want with this cover.
This other version is the one you do not want.
Take my word for it.

Why one star? the video and audio quality awful especially the first 20 minutes. It looks like like an amateur video to dvd transfer - maybe it was (I got it from afaentertainment through yahoo). Also the movie appears to be quite edited (looks like an edited for TV movie), supposedly there is an un-rated version. This version does not even count as a B movie, because there is no B at all (except for bikini), The R-rating is only for decoration. In summary, buy only as a joke gift.

I am a huge Fred Olen Ray fan and love that you can find these lovely gems of his on DVD in lieu of VHS these days. However, for this particular film, if you purchase the Miracle Pictures version (with Michelle Bauer and Ashlie Rhey's names on the marquee with nice little pics of these lovely ladies and 'Bikini Drive-in' in pink and white letters on the cover) this may not be worth the money you are willing to shell out. I think it is only fair to warn other fans and collectors because I don't know about you, but it really sucks to get something you've always wanted to own and then be totally let down due to the quality of the sound and picture (sound really being the key of course). I am a huge film nerd and collector myself and can stand some really poor quality films, allot of these were never released on "true" DVD format so you take what you can get right? However, this version is really pretty damn bad. The audio peaks all the way through like nothing I've ever heard in a VHS transfer and picture quality is pretty friggin' awful. But overall, I think it's the audio that will drive you to not even want to waste the few bucks you were thinking of blowing on this item. I would not lie my friends...I know there is another version of this on DVD, not sure if it is any better...so if it is I hope people speak up and pass on the good word! However, I think people should know "Buyer Beware" on this particular version, as it was certainly not worth even the $5 new I personally paid for it.

First off, this review is about the DVD, not the movie. I LOVE the movie.

I wanted to finally put all this debate about which dvd is which. Today I recieved the 2010 AFA entertainment version with the white framed cover with the photo of the two main girls in bikini tops.

This DVD is dreadful. First off, the cover is a BAD photo copy on computer paper. It looks like a bootleg. It isn't even glossy and the images are very blurry.
The DVD itself has no menu and starts in the middle then starts over. THe quality is terrible, looking like a VHS rip. And finally, ALL of the nudity has been cut out. Every bit. The entire hot tub scene at the begining is gone.

I haven't seen the other versions of this DVD, but I can tell you that this version is not worth owning.

Amateurish production values, a script that feels as if it were written by a daydreaming 12-year old boy in puberty, and mucho t&a...yeah!!! It's hilariously awful but still a good time movies like this that had me losing so much sleep watching Cinemax late night back in the 90's! Although it didn't feature some of my favorite direct-to-video limbo stars like Delia Sheppard, Robin Harris or uber hot hot Cassandra(Midnight Tease)Leigh, this was always on my must have list back in the day on vhs and now on dvd-especially glad that I was able to identify and find the unrated version thanks to a couple of insightful product reviews on the Amazon website. Now if I could only find 'Dinosaur Island" unrated...

I was very disappointed with this. It is badly cut (i.e. sections of the original movie are missing), very low quality video, and the picture only takes up about 50% of the screen window (which is probably good, blown up to full screen it would probably be un-watchable). The "product details" on the website are misleading in that it infers that you are getting a DVD disk. What you actually get is a "DVD Movie", i.e. playable only on a computer or similar device. It WILL NOT play on your standard home DVD player. I feel like returning it and asking for my money back!

If you want a copy of this movie I suggest you try to find an old ex-rental copy on VHS video - it might not be great after all this time, but would have to be better that this! I have given it one star, as Amazon wont let me put zero which is what it deserves.

Please Amazon, don't peddle rubbish like this, you will ruin your reputation as a supplier!

This version is by AFA Entertainment It is realesed in April 2010. I see all the reviews are from 2004. How some one rewiew a movie 7 years befor its release. I saw the movie. It is a full version and it is unreated. I liked the mvie.
