Original subtitles

With the birds twerping.

On the berry bush.

Strangely enough, I shot this right outside the castle in the hills.

Just drove around the corner.

And those are the hills above Glendale.

In the beginning.

There were ten good girls.

some of whom lived in a castle.

And strangely enough, this is the little hill behind the castle.

You'd never believe that this was not really a cave.

It was just the side of the hill.

So we put some 4x6s, old lumber and so on.

laying on the ground around there and built an opening to what looks like a

cave.

And once you walked into the mouth of that thing, you were flat-faced into a

mountainside.

Not a cave at all, but we sure made it look like one.

Oh, there's my color friend in the color temperature converter.

Ha ha!

Oh boy, that did it.

And watch this one now.

In goes Doreen to save.

Doreen just came out, but she's going back in because Sam is in that cave.

There she goes.

And now you'd never believe, but this was in a stairwell in the castle.

A stairwell that led from one room to the dungeon area

in the castle in Glendale.

Hard to see, but believe it or not, there were timbers falling and dirt and

clumps of rocks.

It's hard to make this look like the inside of that cave.

Now we're back.

Now, right about now, to the exterior of the place at the back end of the castle.

That's Sherry. Do I look all right?

Oh, there's Kalani.

Three weeks with no pay.

Big Tom Manning. Get your fucking hands off me, sucker!

Uh-oh.

Tom said when Doreen jumped on him and he got hit on the head with that two-by

-four, he thought he had a whole football team climbing on him.

Uh-huh.

Uh

-huh.

This is where they finally give up mining for gold.

A little too dangerous.

Then they became ten violet women.

A lot of this was conceived by us.

Sitting around at the table, dreaming up a story to be.

This is down in Santa Ana, a little complex down there. We

got ourselves a limousine and a driver.

Of course, the driver is one of the doll squad.

We had a great many diverse locations on this.

They were all over the place.

If you don't think it's tough, now you get them all on a busy day.

It was.

That's Sherry Vernon and

Dixie Loren.

Good afternoon, ladies.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, ladies. May I help you?

Good afternoon. I'm Miss Arnello, and I believe that we have an appointment to

see some solitaires and some solitary pins.

Why, of course. I have an excellent selection to show you. Sheila?

Yes? Would you show the lady our Bismarck collection?

My pleasure.

Follow me, please.

This way.

Won't you sit down?

Take a chair, please.

I shall be back during the night. There's Sheila with a different wig. I'm

sure you'll find exactly what you're looking for. This is at a jewelry store

somewhere south of Los Angeles again. You are four-carat emerald set in 14

-carat gold? Yes.

With diamonds.

Perfect for you.

Very well.

This is one of our finest collections.

You were interested in diamonds, were you?

That's the bracelet.

Oh, you like that one.

Oh, that's lovely. Sapphires here, also set in 14 carat, with three darts. Uh

-huh, a little bit of diversion here.

What is that commotion out there?

Yes, that little bit of distraction by the girls outside.

Here's my dear friend, Jack Dees, playing a security guard.

I'll put these right here so that you can continue looking.

So now, that is the collection.

How do you like them? I love them.

I'll take them all.

Oh, very good.

Fill it up.

What? I'll give you about three hot seconds to put them all in the bag.

All of it. Come on.

Why are you doing this? This is very valuable jewelry. I designed most of

this myself.

These are very valuable. Wouldn't you believe the jewelry store let us use all

the real jewels like this?

Of course, we had a few mixed in with our fake pearls and

our fake stones, our thrift shop jewelry.

Here comes the sheep.

And, of course, the Sikh driver is going in to pick up the Sikh scarab,

which soon won't be available to him. A little more diversion there. Do you have

the time?

Oh, what a lovely watch.

I really admire a man with a lovely watch.

Could you speak to me over here?

I parked the car here.

Well, where's the car? Do you see the car here? Do you see the car here?

Yeah, really confusing.

Frank Bernie is going in the vault.

Meanwhile, the Sheik is waiting for his scarab room to be picked up by his aide.

There they are. Sherry Vernon, Doreen Ross.

I have some friends, and we had this bet, and I noticed that you were from

the east, and we really needed to know, does the dromedary camel have one hump

or two?

Meanwhile, they're making off with the sheep scarab and all the other jewels.

Oh, Jack Teeth, good old security guard. He's going to open the door for the

thieves.

See them off properly.

It's been wonderful talking to you, but I have to go. Thank you.

Enough diversion.

Steve, where's the bus?

In the bus.

And here we are, 30 miles away again in another little city, all south of

Hollywood, in an alley.

the rest of the violent girls.

Christina Kidani.

That was Melody Bell.

There's my old friend of many, many years, Frank Smith, being a policeman.

He's being Metro. There's the limousine driver.

That's what you get for giving the girls a free ride, buddy.

In the window, Sheila.

Couldn't get the door open. Here we almost lost one of the girls stealing

out, too.

It was this one. They weren't all the way in the car yet. Stupid idiot!

I pay you to watch this store, not to chase girls down the street! You've

ruined me! I am ruined!

Hey! Ruined!

Calm down!

Nearly one million dollars!

My best collection!

I need a description.

How many were there?

Sheila. Oh, my gosh! They took her hostage!

They took her with them!

Well, there were three! Three of them! Yes, three!

Two. Oh, idiot!

Three! Three! Who's Sheila?

She's my assistant. They took her hostage.

Then there were two of them.

I think there were four.

Two, idiot. Three, I don't know anymore. Of course Sheila was the plan.

Now the chief wants his get-up rings.

My friend, my client, my third collection.

No one.

They came in. I had no choice but to give them what they ordered me to.

Michael McCloskey.

They cannot replace my master, Scarab.

He will leave no stone unturned to find his ring.

It was a sacred scarab. It took a long time to find.

Now it is gone.

It grieves me greatly to have to tell him.

I have to go now.

This next part is funny because the sheik's mustache had fallen off as we

were driving over the bumpy roads.

A lot of extras there.

And there we are again, another spot, another day, 20 miles away.

Oh, run!

There's Sheila, no longer a jewelry store clerk, but one of the ten girls.

And Melody Bell is the red-headed one.

The other redhead. Here's to women!

Look out, world! Here we come!

Yeah!

There's his feet.

His mustache falling off all the time. Here's the kids looking at the limousine

driver.

They thought it was for real.

Okay, kids, run.

They were pretty good, though. They got a little bit part.

Well, it certainly didn't leave the scarab behind.

We had this bright idea to freeze frame now and then.

Let you know where we are, where we are at Duck Park. What are you supposed to

do with a gun?

What do you think you're supposed to do with it?

You don't expect me to use it on somebody.

Well, if you don't know how, you better learn.

Yeah, I learned to shoot in the carnival. I can whack those ducks off

one after another, way past the freeway.

We need a real moving target.

Oh, a moving target? We need a moving target.

Why don't you run across there? Come on, Jodi. Yeah, just pick on me. Come on,

Jodi. Oh, take a drink.

Mama's milk.

There's only one way to prove who's the best shot.

So here we're going from ten violent to two.

Water guns, water pistols.

We're having fun with water guns all along.

Here we are in Las Vegas.

The funny part about this, a lot of those casinos have been imploded and

replaced with bigger, better ones.

The script is a little bit the same, but a lot added.

There he is. Old Ted Michaels himself.

Me.

My mustache has changed color since then.

This is at the home of an attorney friend in Beverly Hills.

Hello.

How'd you get this number?

I had a lot of hair then, didn't I?

Yeah, I know that he's done some business with you.

Yeah, what's his name?

Joe.

So what can I do for you?

Yeah,

like what?

You know Club Vertigo?

You'll be there alone, you understand?

You respond to a gentleman who knows you work for Liedernacht, and you leave with

him. This is my deal.

Joe is no part of it. Here we are at Holiday Inn in Santa Monica.

And you bring with you your interesting collection.

And back again at my attorney friend's place.

Yes, girls, get ready.

They're up there now.

Of course, as far as the movie, we've never left Las Vegas.

That looked nice, Christina.

Hot damn.

Two rooms. One to dress in and one to sleep in.

Except we're not going to sleep here tonight.

As soon as we wrap up our business, we're...

This is jammed. There can't be any problem in us hanging around here for a

couple of days. The quicker we get out of this town, the better.

I thought that was what this was all about.

Cut loose and do our thing.

We haven't earned a break. Let's enjoy it.

Bullshit, ladies.

The games are over.

If we get caught with this stuff, we are all going to do time.

I mean, adventure and women's live is one thing.

This is quite another.

He must conclude his business with you immediately.

Look, I made it very clear.

They're on us like glue.

My street man has been hit and it's too dangerous.

It's not the right time.

Your time is up, my friend.

But I can't risk it. I can't dump it now.

Perhaps you have some other more liquid assets?

Holdings?

Jewels? Listen to me.

Maurice doesn't like to be disappointed.

And neither do I.

So have an answer for me.

Now wait just a damn minute.

Good day.

That was my production manager.

Everybody gets a part.

They cut out a whole big scene here with my girlfriend that I yelled at at the

pool.

Here we are in another club south of Hollywood.

Nicholas Karras did a fantastic score for us on this movie, again, as he has

done since 1959 for me.

I don't know how much dancing has changed since then.

Still kind of looks about the same, almost.

You're a friend of ours. Oh, what's his name?

If you were a friend of ours, you wouldn't have to ask his name.

Didinat. Joe Didinat.

Yeah.

Joe Didinat, see?

Got it.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't you come with me back to my boss's place?

I think he'd like to buy you a drink.

Oh,

the sheik has found him.

Come on, girls.

They want that scarab ring.

said you were going to be all alone. Yeah, well, I lie a lot.

Lie. Where I go, they go.

Yeah, that Sheila is kind of bossy.

And there come the rest of them.

take this many?

Leo's going to be pissed.

Screw it. Let him handle it. Get in. Let's go.

Did you catch that voice again?

There's been several Ted Michaels voices impersonating all those people,

including the sheep.

Okay, they're going off to see the fence.

When we wrote this story, the girls all wanted me to be the prince and take off

in a big boat with them at the end of the movie. And I said, no, I want to

play a bad guy.

So here I am. Ted Michaels is a bad guy.

What the hell is this? I stood alone.

Not what I got there, Bob. Shut up.

You, Danny. Yeah, yeah.

You get down to the front there with Bonnie and stay there. Okay. And you

take the dog. What?

And you, stupid.

Now, Vicky, make these girls a drink.

And then you hit the lights and watch the grounds. You think you can handle

that? You need it in writing.

Okay, okay, what's the big deal? Hey, when you write my paycheck, you think

for yourself.

Until then, I do your thinking for you.

Man, I used to be able to think, I guess.

Now let's see what you got.

Before I made 50 movies or something.

This is the interior of my friend's house. Doesn't matter, make him

anything. Screwdriver, vodka and tonic, whiskey and seven.

A few decorations from my castle we put on the walls.

I didn't know exactly what to bring, Leo, so I thought maybe the girls would

want to mix their own.

Go for a swim, Vicki.

You don't want to go for a swim.

But you will.

If you don't like it, leave.

That's what we want for it, a million bucks.

Frankly, it's a bargain.

Well, I haven't got that kind of money, says I.

A little rich for me. Yeah, a little rich.

Fine, we'll go elsewhere.

Hey, Sam!

Now you hold it.

I'll make your girls a trade. One of Sherry's fancy dresses.

For every scene she was in, she had to make her own dress.

Always a new one every time we see her.

in the pot.

Another half for a cool million.

You've got to be kidding.

What are you pulling, mister?

What is it? Who knows? It could be anything.

This deal sucks.

Yeah, you know, it's beginning to smell around here.

Last and final offer.

Another five for a total of a million five.

I suggest you take it while you've got the chance. You go screw, mister.

I said that was my last call. That's a quick draw there, Ted.

Watch it. You're going to get surrounded.

They didn't have anything to do with this. This was our deal.

I told you so on the phone.

Well, let's ask Joe.

I wouldn't do that if I were you. Uh-oh.

Closing in on you, Ted. Why don't you just leave that stuff where it is and

get out of here while you're still healthy?

You won't be mean much longer,

Michael. A few bucks will get you started at the crap tables, or you can

make some honest money.

Son of a prick.

I offered you the coke.

How do we know it's any good?

It's uncut.

How do we know what it's worth?

You take a chance.

There's a lot of people out there in the street paying good money for that stuff.

It's a hell of a lot easier to sell than jewels.

Besides, if he can't sell it to you and have some fun, I'll take it and get out

of here.

How's that hurt?

He can use powdered

sugar for that.

Oh, poor Beth.

That gun went off and accidentally hit her.

Sheila's going to make off with everything.

Hey, Vicki.

Huh? Thanks for the drink. Oh, you're welcome.

Ah.

Told you you were going for a swim, Vicki.

Ouch, Sheila.

Criminetly.

Ouch.

That was a rock.

Feelings getting even with men.

And there went my bone.

Probably the only time I've ever had it off of my chest in 30 years.

Okay, they're making off with everything.

The big carob.

The dope from the fence. The jewels.

And here we are in a park in Santa Ana.

It's just the chance we took when we started.

That's what I say.

Tony, when you've got that goddamn bowling, you make me want to puke. Never

learn your stupid business.

Cat fight.

Cat fight.

Sounds like the ripping canvas.

New wardrobe.

Stop it! Stop it!

Okay, time to put a stop to this.

Whatever's your share, we'll get to you somehow.

You know, it's always too clean.

But with this bitter old... You get in Johnny's car and get out of here.

The rest of you put your stuff in the car. From now on, we're traveling light.

A special arrangement with the Santa Ana Police Department.

Everything all right, ladies?

Just resting our eyes up, sir.

All sound effects came from Ted V. Michael's sound effects library.

Oh, no, that's not the Sheik, is it? I think it is.

They're following him.

He wants that scarab ring.

Oh, girls are capturing another car. They had to get rid of the hot one.

There's my friend Barry.

My bodybuilder friend Barry Hostetler.

No, don't kill me. Don't kill me.

Let him have it.

Please. Please, no.

No.

Water poo-poo.

Sorry,

Barry.

We sure had a lot of locations in this camp, I'll tell you.

Must have been a hundred or more.

We had to keep on the move.

Not a lot of day for night. We carried along a generator and lit up wherever we

needed in the dark.

Oh, Sherry, that's the princess. I mean, the Jake Scarab.

Maggie!

She doesn't wear it.

Bury the rest, girls. Bury it good.

Put a flag there so you can find it when you come back.

Right past the cake automobile.

And here we are in the heart of Hollywood.

Right off in a little club right between all the studios.

They were gracious enough to let us in.

Of course, this is 30 miles away and still a different club in a different

city. That's the way Hollywood goes.

Drive up in one place and go inside 30 miles elsewhere.

There's Sonia, Sonia doing a flamenco.

And the flamenco music was created by my dear friend the guitarist.

Uh-oh, Phelan, you're going to get drunk.

Half the

time

when you don't know. That was our photographer, and here's our penetrator,

Jimmy Yager.

Oh, back to the shake. Back to the shake, man.

Back to the scatter. No scatter.

Uh-oh, tequila.

Naughty, naughty.

Oh,

there's a man who's a filmmaker, too.

Want to buy me a drink?

Make his own movie.

Have a seat.

I don't have a tequila cup.

Because if you are not interested, I can split.

We're in.

How much you got?

I got a lot more than you two dudes can handle.

Maybe.

How much?

Oh, thank you.

Well... You see, it's all depends on...

Or whatever you're talking about.

Just a little bit.

Go for it, Tanya.

How do we know if this is good stuff, huh?

Are you kidding?

You will try it before you buy it.

Here comes the lines that have been immortalized.

Try it before you buy it.

And remember, gentlemen, bring all your money.

Where the hell did she go?

Still probably out to get high.

This is the only way they can stand her anyway.

Well, I wish she wouldn't get drunk. I don't trust them.

I'm going to go check this out, you guys.

Good. Jamie's got some really good stuff.

Good stuff.

Aha.

You can fry before you buy.

Extra. Try that before you buy that.

You see, we really need... Uh-oh.

You made a mistake, Sheila.

Oh, no.

Too bad.

How do you like that shot? You see it from the front and the back at the same

time. Those are tough to set up on our low-budget pictures.

And we had to stick the blouse together and

iron it right on the spot a couple of times.

We got the bullets in the barrel of the gun and out her back at the same time.

We had two blouses, but I think we needed three at the time.

You mean our water pictures are real?

Only Shaila's was. She stole Ted Michaels' gun.

Busted. And now, off to prison, girls.

And there's the twin sister to Sheila.

And here we are in the heart of Los Angeles in the old prison.

And of course it's been shut down for several years, so we had to bring our

own power supply generator.

All of these areas had to be lit with our generator.

The generator went out, it was pitch black in there.

And that wasn't easy to haul up a generator with that truck that kept

breaking down every day and van that kept breaking down every other day.

Get the uniforms and all.

Would you believe a few years ago somebody said, could I buy some of those

uniforms the girls wore in the prison?

And at the time you don't think that anybody would ever want them.

Little Maria.

Nothing like new prisoners to bring a little excitement to the day, huh?

And we had to fill up all those cells with our people.

Our extras, our actors, our actresses, that is.

The only meals in this place were the crew.

And would you believe that's Sonia, the flamenco dancer?

You never can tell who does what.

Nice dolly shot.

Tough one to set up.

Come on, get along, get along, move it.

Here we are, close up on the lady, writing on the notebook.

Now we're walking again.

Okay, the girls are going to be lining up.

They've all stopped.

Red Cross time. Okay.

Okay, there's the warden.

The girl's got all the uniforms.

Hard to believe that every light in that place except a daylight coming in the

window in this one scene, we brought into a dark, dark building.

A dark, empty building.

And the background sounds of all the other inmates, of course, we made.

I'm going to practice to personally take time from my schedule to help any of the

girls whenever they need me, day or night.

Especially at night.

Especially at night.

You almost got yourself a... Feel free to come to me with any of your problems,

and I know that we will solve them together.

And if you cooperate, your stay here will be a happy one.

Kind of zeroing in there on... It might interest you girls to know that I have a

motto I live by.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.

Oh, shit.

God damn it! No one speaks while I'm talking.

You understand that?

And like the girls were about to say, she zinces the boat.

Say,

honey, you better watch out for Mr. Terry if you want to stay healthy.

And you better watch out for Madge, too.

Yeah, well, I can take care of myself.

I'm not done. You've been told. The rest is up to you.

You guys got that broad so screwed up she thinks we're in the Navy.

God, I can't believe Sheila pulled a gun on a narc and a coke in the purse.

Can you believe that?

Yeah, she had a gun and a million bucks in drugs and we get stuck for it?

She really pulled a number on us.

We had no part in what she did.

If they don't tie us to one of the jewels, they can't hold us.

Are you kidding?

People rot in places like this. They throw away the fucking keys when they

get you in here.

Well, they've got nothing to hold us on. When I found out that they gave us an

hour on the picture, I thought it was because of some scenes that are coming

up pretty quick.

It turns out that they gave us the R because of that four-letter word that

the girl just said.

We throw away the uh-uh-uh-uh keys, and that's what got us our R reading.

But you want to remember that it was a title like Ten Violet Women.

The theaters expected it to be an R, and if it wasn't an R, they didn't even want

to play it.

They demanded an R.

This was quite a chore, gathering that many females in one room in an empty

jail.

Hi.

Hi. Who brings you ladies to this lovely place?

One of our dear friends, Sheila.

You've had real good friends like that, huh? Yeah.

My name's Donna.

I'm Pam.

Well, you might as well know.

You're a lot safer walking a slum street at midnight than you are at here.

Because if the guards don't get you, the inmates will.

You're going to learn to adapt to violence or you won't survive.

I'm picking up some bad vibes from those chicks over there.

Oh, our souls.

That's Jackie Kent.

Now watch out for her because she's Miss Cherry's pet. She's a tough one, that

Jackie. Yeah, and that crazy one with the doll that's Doris.

She seems harmless enough, but she does anything Jackie tells her to do.

You've already made an enemy out of good old Madeline.

She's hard enough to take as it is.

Just call her Madge. She likes to feel she's one of the girls.

She doesn't look so mean.

Gets her jollies from banging heads against the wall. Banging heads against

the wall, and she does that. She's a critical religious old creep.

She thinks we should suffer. She pulled this off so well. She's really a pretty

lovely woman to make herself look like that with very minimum makeup.

This is the drama teacher.

Shortly after this movie, she went to New York to teach drama.

That's Melody Bell.

Not this one, but... Okay,

there's Miss Terry and the assistant warden, Madge.

And the guard. If you do come up with a righteous plan, we can handle everything

on the outside.

Meaning? When we were busted for burglary, we didn't involve the others

we ran with. We were holding the stuff at our place.

Tony and some of the other guys, they come and see us every visiting day.

And they are ready to help us any time.

Next time Tony comes to visit you, tell him to get things ready.

Lotting in a state.

I can't tell you how many times that we used little fake pieces of jail railing

that we made up.

And, of course, we made them up out of dowel.

One is dowel, painted them black, ran them through one by two and put a frame

around it. And here we are. Instead of being at the jail, we're in my friend's

home in Beverly Hills. Would you believe?

Long ways from the prison.

Of course, different place, different time, probably three weeks later. You

will always knock before entering my room.

And there's so many funny lines in this, we still to this day, we still to this

day remember.

Who is it?

Samantha Summers.

Come in.

And there's my, on the wall a bit ago, we saw my friends.

An attorney's diploma.

License. Please sit down there.

You seem to be having problems.

I'm here to help you.

Do you want to talk about them with me?

You know, we're all part of a team here.

No, I'm in charge.

I want you to think of yourself as a member of that team.

You have to cooperate to be a member of my team.

Yeah, well, how do you play ball?

There are certain privileges that I give my special girls,

such as the privilege of being in this...

Lovely room.

Private dinner, where we're not disturbed.

By candlelight. In the jail.

Your duties would be reduced.

We can't have you too tired, you know.

No, all you have to do is play ball.

What do you say, Samantha?

The thought of you makes me want to throw up.

I don't need your privileges or you.

Butch.

I have been too patient with you.

You're begging for it, aren't you? I mean, you are really begging for it,

aren't you?

Well, I'm not going to give you the satisfaction of lowering myself to

having one with you.

There are some delicious punishments you can look forward to in the future.

And my pleasure.

would be to see you crawling to be with me.

I'd never crawl for anybody, especially an old bitch like you.

Nobody talks to me like that.

Terry hit her head on the wall that time.

You'll crawl.

A slap in the face and a bump on the head all at one time.

Now get out! All right, Brie Terry, okay.

Get the hell out of here!

And we say that all the time. Get the hell out!

out of here.

You hear me saying that when we're driving? I say, get the hell out of my

way.

That's where that line came from.

Kind of dark in that jail when there's no lights, I'll tell

you.

Uh-oh.

Looks like girls get into a little hanky here.

I thought this might be why we got the R, but this wasn't it. It was because of

that four-letter word.

We had a hard time deciding what females could actually bring to the jail with

them.

Cigarettes, what kind of clothes they had to wear, what kind of shoes they

could wear.

We didn't have any female experts on female jails, so we did what we thought

was appropriate.

Because this will teach you not to talk in line.

I didn't get a word, ma'am.

Honest, honest, we didn't.

No, they didn't, Miss Terry.

I distinctly heard them. Are you calling me a liar, Miss Robbins?

Next floor.

Inside.

Uh-huh.

They're getting set up. They're getting set up for a fight.

And there's Jackie.

Three Terrys.

Ever, ever humiliate me to ever side with an inmate against me. I have your

ass, baby. I have your ass. That's a cross.

Okay, Bree Terry. This is funny. This was an old warehouse.

It was just a corner.

We had to bring in the pipes.

We made the showers.

We rigged the shower pipes.

Had to put water to them.

This was just an empty room for storage.

Whap.

And a whap-whap.

Yeah, we had to make an empty room look like a shower, like a functional shower

yet. Ouch, ouch, ouch.

The girls staged a pretty good fight since they had to do all their things

themselves.

Of course, we couldn't afford anything like a...

stuntperson or stand-ins or

anybody else that could fight for our principals. They had to stage their own

fight.

How do you like our shower sign?

Wow.

Maggie!

Maggie, she's biting me!

Sock, sock, sock, sock, sock.

Maggie's a tough one. She's the one that... Aha, ouch.

She's the one that socked Tom,

the atom bomb, who was a two-by-four in the opening of the movie.

When she jumped on Tom's back, that's when he said, Wow!

What is it, Madge? His camera's making a round. She's heard all the noise.

Just go use Miss Terry's shower, kiss-ass.

Some of the hardships of making a low-budget movie.

Put in an empty room and build showers and run water to them.

And hope you got enough drain in the floor.

The best fighter, there she is.

The lady on the left here was in Some Lake It Hot, Some Like It Hot.

Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.

She was a very, very, very well-known drummer of a female band.

Probably one of the finest female drummers in the country.

attributed to just fighting.

I can't imagine what you're talking about, my dear.

You know exactly what I'm talking about, my dear.

And I'll have you up before the board by the end of the month.

The whole movie originally was intended to start with this jail season.

But the girls at the castle and myself sat down and said, gee, if it's just

going to be a jail, we've got to give a reason for the girls to go to jail.

So that's when we created the beginning as they're robbing jewelry stores with

water guns.

This one, of course, was in the boiler room of an old carpet factory, if I

remember right.

Made a pretty good jail, though, all these places.

Out,

out, out.

The other

girls are wondering what the heck

happened to Sammy.

And there's Sammy.

And that's another one we've used for a long time.

We're going to straighten you out, Summers.

the whiteness of your alleged virginity.

Let her become clean with the blood of the Lamb.

Oh, let mankind see the suffering that you did on the cross.

But first...

That was such a mess we had to clean up when this scene was over,

garbage all over.

And whack.

Whack.

A little bit hard on the eardrum.

Here's Terry Vernon.

Oh,

the wet towel routine.

Free Terry learned that in the military services, I guess.

In the showers.

Isn't your thinking clearer?

I use this to whip the evil out of your body.

And I use it because it doesn't leave any marks.

Well, it gets you a little wet.

Imagine, I mean, Brie Terry's enjoying this and not Sam. I'm going to get you

for this, Brie Terry.

The best part I'm saving for you.

For your long stay in solitary where no nosy doctor will see the marks.

And I'll see to that.

And soon.

Hey there, Madge. Throw her in.

Sam!

Yes, Sam.

Oh, God.

Oh, Mommy.

You know, for a low budget, we really got a little

elaborate here. Dolly is all over the place.

We brought in a couple of truckloads of equipment to shoot this.

Mixing daylight with 3200 Kelvin light is tough.

That's the daylight you see coming in the door, and the rest is quartz, 3200.

Found it.

I dare you to get up. Whap!

Sammy's a very sensitive little lady anyway.

Okay, this was something else in a totally different building about 30

miles away over near where the limousine.

The girls left the guy tied up in a limousine.

This was kind of a storage box.

And to get cameras in there and lights and all wasn't easy.

I think it was a storage bin in like an old grocery merchandise warehouse.

I'll step on it.

More. All right.

Chapin. Okay. Kent.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh. There goes the storage door open.

Brie Terry.

No bucket this time.

There's the bucket brigade.

This is the day I was telling somebody about the other day when my sound man

took the tapes home.

Listen to them from the noggin.

And when he played them back, he erased all the audio.

So we had to recreate it.

Strangely enough, this was a real jail in another city that let us come in and

shoot.

It was not.

Really well staffed at the time. I think they maybe had one or two inmates there

and some personnel from the prison system, but it was a real

jail. Aha,

Summers.

That mop is awkward, isn't it, my dear?

Perhaps you'll find the scrub brush just a little easier to handle.

Okay, Summers, start scrubbing.

You better get started, Summers, if you want to finish in time for lunch.

And by the way, Benson sends you her love.

She wishes you were there.

We had quite a nice long visit last night, Miss Benson and I.

I intend to visit her every night.

And whomp the heck out of her.

I've told her you'll be joining her in solitary.

Do try not to disappoint them, my dear.

By the way, I've still got that bucket here in my studio. That's the old mop

bucket. This is the funniest thing.

That's one of our homemade jail doors back there.

There's another place where they were known.

Oh,

Jackie gets it again.

Those were pretty good at this.

Taking their own fights and all, they did all right.

If they'd have ran into those jail bars, they would have just fallen down.

That was some more of our wooden dowels and some wooden crossbars.

It's a little bit like a jail, doesn't it?

Oh, and this was a carpet factory down in Santa Ana.

That jail was all over the place, wasn't it?

Melody Bell was quite a climber.

As in Doll Squad and Blood Orgy and some of my other films, the ladies that

worked on this, Ten Violet Women, still are in communication.

Every so often I hear from one or other of them.

You know, when you have a soundtrack that...

It covers dialogue that's right in front of camera, and then dialogue that's

behind the camera behind the door.

You have to transfer the soundtracks to a separate dubbing unit so that the

sound can be altered and controlled.

You can't let it just plain run and turn it up and down. You have to put it on

separate dubbing units.

You have anywhere from 10 to as many as 50 dubbing units.

Now we're back at the real jail where we had to bring in all the lights and

generators and all that.

Obviously, that's the real jail cell.

Putting on those bars.

Shit, that's just horrific.

Really screws us up.

In the box with you, Sammy Summers.

This will be your home, Summers, until I decide to move you back to your cell.

We three are going to have such fun for the next two weeks.

We had shot a sequence here that dissolved out into a romantic setting in

the park.

All sorts of things.

Had such a long picture, we had to cut him out.

Swinging in the park and sitting by a fireplace, having wine with a boyfriend.

You shoot so many things, but you don't always have room for them in the movie.

Have you accepted Jesus as your personal savior yet?

Don't even come to see us while you're gone.

They're going to help us, just like you asked.

Did you tell them we need clothes and everything?

Yeah, but some guy with a beard stopped them in the parking lot the last time

they were here.

Started asking them a lot of questions.

Like what?

Like who they were here to see, anything, any of the new girls. They

were cool. They played dumb.

Are you sure we can get along with these boys?

Yeah, they're going to meet us just like we planned, a half a mile south of here

in a clearing.

They'll have everything we need, but it's up to us to get there.

How do you know you can trust them?

Hey, they love us. And they gave their word.

Well, it doesn't matter if we can trust them or not, because tomorrow we're

breaking out no matter what.

Sam, everything depends on you getting the keys from Miss Terry. Are you sure

she's going to see you?

You just worry about Robin getting you out of Kentville. Sometimes when you

have a group like that, somebody gets behind a bar, you get the dialogue

right, you can't afford to keep doing it until you get everybody in the right

position sometimes.

Good night.

Just a couple of minutes, Miss Terry.

I'm very tired.

Please, Miss Terry, this will only take a few minutes.

Well. She's tired from whipping on people.

We'll see how well you take off.

You heard me.

What?

Do it.

I'm waiting.

Would you rather go back to your cell?

No more. You've got to get out of here.

Down on your stomach.

She told you, you'd crawl to be with her, Samantha.

If you notice the painting on the back wall, I don't know if you have or did

earlier, but it's a painting of our warden in a wardrobe.

There it is.

Robbins, Robbins, come here, quick.

She'll have to wait till Madge gets back.

Damn it, Robbins, she's not jiving.

Looks like she's got appendicitis. She's sick. Now get her out of here so we can

get back to sleep.

Okay, go get her.

You'll be sorry, Robbins.

Put her over to the side.

Flatten against you.

Okay, you.

You walk ahead of me.

I'm very proud of the girls. They consistently stayed in character all the

days and even for the weeks we spend in jails and fake jails and real

jails.

The funny part about it is in less than 30 seconds you're seeing three locations

miles apart.

This was a corridor in a private home.

There he is.

That's in my, I believe, in the attorney friend's house in Beverly Hills.

Ah, I just can't do it.

Here's the jail downtown Los Angeles.

Watch this.

You'll find out.

You'll find out, Kent. Here it comes.

Boom.

Everybody gets a charge out of that, but Jackie Kent.

I will say that that abandoned Los Angeles prison did give us a lot of

places to shoot.

A lot of options.

It was especially helpful when we had light coming in from side windows, from

daylight.

Having to light everything in a dark and huge, huge, many, many thousands of

square feet building is not easy.

We'll send you a postcard, man.

Ouch. Let's get out of here. Come on.

I guess you've identified all the girls. The limo driver and...

All that and all the girls, of course, when they were in other wardrobes at the

beginning of the music.

Oh, here we are. In fact, I think it's the carpet mill.

And warehouse and the boiler room.

They're made for one great big nice jail, though.

This is fun, picking up a railroad track so we can put in that sound effect.

I love the sound effect.

Uh-huh.

Looks like the getaway is complete.

There's the boyfriend's weight.

Here we are again on a generator out in the middle of nowhere.

Well? Mister, could you give us a lift? Yeah, a ride dropped us here in the

middle of nowhere.

Aren't you going our way?

No, not to keep them. But of course, my dear ladies, I would love to give you a

ride. Okay.

I guess he's been following along all the time.

Hope you don't mind. It won't take very long.

That wasn't long at all.

And here we're back at a city park.

And we're about 30 miles south of Los Angeles.

Where the girls buried all the jewels.

What is this?

Now, he's looking for the sheriff's ring.

Damn! Now, he got everything else, but he didn't get the ring.

This stuff can't walk off by itself.

She's right. It's not going to go anywhere.

We'll come back when someone's looking for us.

Let's go.

One more stop. A little cantina not far from here.

All

right.

Thank you.

That's beautiful. Oh, look at it. That's the bottle of ouch.

And got her scatterbrained.

How beautiful.

Where would you get such a ring?

From a very rich boyfriend.

It's fit for a king.

Speaking of kings, how about a king-sized bed for 12 hours?

Oh, yeah.

And there is one coming up. Good night, you guys.

See you in the morning.

Now we're back at the Holiday Inn, south of Beverly Hills.

milkshakes.

You know, when you're making these little low-budget pictures, you're

probably in 50 different locations.

You can't afford to build all the sets in one place.

And he's determined to get the shake scatterbrained.

Poiled again.

Poiled again.

I don't think we'd better do that. No ring.

That could have been anybody, Miss.

If they'd please get involved, they could wrap up our act.

Okay, but I'm not going to bed for the rest of the night.

Call the desk and see if they'll send up some playing cards.

Return.

Everybody cracked up on this shot. She's playing cards, holding her hand with her

toes, and even spread it.

Oh, man. Everybody in the set cracking up.

We had to rent a suite for this one.

What do you think?

How do you like it?

Okay. Thank goodness we got a joining room, though.

It has the sun shining.

Yeah, and we're going to split.

You're what?

Yeah, we're going to split.

The bearded guy told us he could use only two girls in the show.

So he offered to buy us anything we wanted.

So we bought everything we wanted.

Nice. By the way, I talked to Carol and Joni. Beth is fine.

Great. All right.

Wish you guys luck. Yeah. We'll see you around campus, okay?

You

played

your part well in assisting the escape.

Be sure they have the ring.

It shall be done.

I wonder whose voice that is.

That's

what

I call service.

I am so sorry to disturb you ladies, but I do not bear good news.

Your two friends have left the hotel, but not before they charge many

expensive items to their bill.

I am but the show's manager, and I am not able to cover the bills.

Perhaps you have some way to assist paying for them?

We don't have a dime.

Someone's lying.

Well, our company is entertaining on a pleasure boat for a few weeks.

Perhaps you would be willing to work.

A boat?

A big boat?

A very nice boat.

We are leaving for the Mediterranean in two hours.

We'll meet you in the lobby in 30 minutes. Big boat? Make that 20, we'll

be ready.

That was another one we used for a long time. A big boat?

Here we are at the pier.

Santa Monica.

Nice bright sunny day.

This is a funny one, I've got to tell you.

In this scene, Sherry, working in the picture, has got a bad case of

poison ivy, or poison oak, one of the two.

Their skin was flaming red.

So this shot we did.

And that's as far as we got because her face is all broken out with poison oak,

poison ivy.

And it's a cut. And from here, I will tell you, here's Santa Monica on

the dock. This shot is on top of the castle 10 months later.

Ten months later, the top roof of the castle. Can you dance?

Now here we are back at Santa Monica Pier, back at the castle roof. Can we

dance? Oh, can we dance? Can we dance?

Oh, yeah.

Can we dance?

This always is part of the magic of making movies.

The roof of the castle to the dock of Santa Monica Pier.

In six cuts.

Looks like sherry from the Dahlstra to me. Oh, and this was in the basement

party room at my castle in Glendale.

Supposed to be on the boat, of course.

Then we brought in the little band, that little alcove there.

You saw the picture of blood, oh gee, that's where the witch buried the

picture in a huge water goblet with the snakes and ants and all that.

The castle served many purposes.

The boat wheel, had to go buy

all that.

Interesting enough, the girl in the middle there is alive, but barely.

How she escaped, I don't know. She got off of a plane somewhere overseas,

Middle East, and somebody shot her in the head with a rifle bullet.

But she survived, and there she is dancing away a year later.

There's Sherry and Doreen really learning what we call the belly dance.

And pretty quick, in comes the sheik.

The officer is here to arrest you girls.

However, since I have recovered all of my jewels, and all of the other jewels

have been returned to their rightful owners, and I now have recovered my

precious scarab ring,

I've decided to drop all

charges against you girls.

In that case, you won't need me. Give it back, Sammy. Thank you.

Now, that's the man that policeman there had a marvelous career promoting

that Rocky Horror Picture Show.

He's the one who put it across the country and helped make it famous.

There we are.

By the way, he wasn't really a policeman. He was a film salesman.

Here we are, back at the pier in Santa Monica. No, no, this was down, oh my,

near Irvine, near Irvine, in a beach down there.

Went down there for a nice couple of days, stayed, took the AeroFlex, zoom

lens and battery pack, shot the material for under the main

ending credits.

James Gordon White and I, myself, prepared the writing credits.

Music score by Nicholas Karras.

And there is the crew.

Nice big crew.

And here comes the cast.

Terry Vernon, Dixie Loren, which wasn't her real name, neither was Sally Alex

Gamble. That stands for S.A.G.

Georgia Morgan, Melody Bell, Christina Dicatani, oh my, Peggy

Hayes.

Oh, I did a part two. Who's got a credit in there? Ted DeMarcus, Jack Dees, my

friend.

Bert Levesque in Canada.

Lonnie, who is Dura Satana's daughter.

Movie-making families stay together a long time.

This is the places where we... Seal Beasts. That's where we did a lot of

the shooting. Seal Beasts. And I think we used the jail there.

Fun movie to make. Took over a year from beginning to end, but...
