Smash or How to Get Hung

About This Movie

So, 'Smash or How to Get Hung' is this bizarre experiment from the '70s that dives into some pretty wild territory. Set in a not-so-distant 1987, it tackles themes of body modification and identity in a way that feels both dated and oddly prescient. The practical effects are, well, interesting—definitely not polished, but they add to the unsettling vibe of the whole thing. The pacing can be a bit all over the place, which contributes to its strange charm. It's got this surreal atmosphere that keeps you guessing what’s coming next. The performances are a mixed bag, but there’s an earnestness that keeps it engaging in its own peculiar way.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, making it a bit of a rarity in collector circles. Originally distributed in a few niche venues, it hasn’t received much mainstream attention, which adds to its scarcity today. Those with an interest in underground cinema or the strange side of 70s exploitation will find it particularly intriguing. It's not the easiest find, but it’s certainly a conversation starter for any collection focused on the oddities of film history.
