Thong Girl 3: Revenge of The Dark Widow (2007) |
||
Director Glen Weiss seems to have created a media frenzy with his latest release, Thong Girl 3: Revenge of the Dark Widow. However, the frenzy isn't about any of the content of the film. It's all because some of the filming was shot in the office of Mayor Don Wright who was the actual mayor of Gallatin, Tennessee. Apparently some people thought it was inappropriate to use the mayor's office to shoot a film about a superhero in a thong. I personally think it's hilarious! Sure, it's a movie about a chick in a thong, but it would probably get a PG-13 rating if it were rated. There's no sex, nudity, blood or serious violence. In fact, except for the word 'ass' there's no profanity. There is a good bit of sexual innuendo and, of course, there is a girl in a thong. Apparently that's enough to upset a lot of people. Congratulations to Mr. Weiss for getting his indi film in the news! |

The quality of the film
is relatively low budget. However, because of its similarity to
the old Krofft shows, it was easy for me to watch without thinking about
the quality. Some of the effects used are silly, but that just
fits the mood of the movie. The acting of the supporting cast
really adds a lot to the film. The
story of Thong Girl 3 is based around a villain named The Dark Widow
(played by Lauren Benjamin) who wants to take over Nashville and turn
all of the country superstars into rappers. With the help of her
sidekick Boxer Brief Boy (Tony Domenico), the bumbling genius Dweeble (Martin Brady)
and a magical thong that allows her to shoot a laser out of her butt,
Thong Girl saves the city from destruction. Because I have not
seen Thong Girl 1 or 2, I felt a little bit like I had missed
some of the story, but the story is basic enough that it didn't really
matter much. If you are looking for Thong Girl 1, it comes
as a special feature of the Thong Girl 2 DVD. Thong Girl 4 is currently
in production with a new lead actress; the former Playboy Playmate Audra
Lynn. Gore-o-meter rating: 0 out of 5 (No gore) Skin-o-meter: 1 out of 5 (There's no nudity, but the lead character is in a thong)
