Early 70's porn down Mexico way

Warning: Spoilers
Meek drug runner Jamie (a solid and credible performance by Howard Alexander) finds out that his girlfriend (pretty brunette Jill Sweete) has a bun in the oven, so he decides to team up with his excitable buddy Rick (a lively portrayal by Martin Victor) to embark on a dope run from Tijuana to Los Angeles to score enough dough to pay for an abortion. However, said dope run proves to be rife with distractions in the form of several greedy, yet enticing Mexican whores.
Director Howard Ziehm, working from an eventful script by Frank Cozart, relates the engrossingly sordid story at a steady pace, makes nice use of a few grungy locations, vividly captures a seedy south of the border atmosphere, spices things up with a hysterically funny sense of earthy humor, and even provides a valid and provocative central point about the desperate measures one will resort to in order to get out of a tough spot. The sex scenes are really raw and arousing, with a lengthy sequence in a scuzzy bar involving two skeevy prostitutes rating as the definite sleazy highlight (said sequence also features such popular songs as "Louie Louie" by the Kingsmen and "Let It All Hang Out" by the Hombres blasting away on the soundtrack!). Eve Orlon, Chlorine Stillwater, Andy Bellamy, and Roshell Rush are amongst the hot harlots that our hapless duo encounter while crawling around Mexico in search of their connection. Keith Erickson cuts a suitably sinister figure as no-nonsense ringleader The Man. The plain cinematography further enhances the overall pleasingly tangy'n'trashy mood. Well worth a watch.
