The Big Surprise

About This Movie

The Big Surprise (1983) is a fascinating dive into an outrageous realm where Buster's escapades take center stage. It’s not just about the explicit content; there's this whimsical tone that makes you feel like you’re experiencing a series of wild vignettes stitched together. The pacing feels almost frenetic, with a mix of short films like 'Sunkist' and 'Sun Stroke' that playfully tease the viewer’s expectations. Practical effects and uninhibited performances create this raw atmosphere, giving it a distinctive edge that sets it apart from more polished productions. The 2006 re-edit adds a layer with 'Angelo's David' and 'Willie Wanker,' offering fresh perspectives on Buster’s universe, making it a curious watch for collectors.

The Big Surprise has a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, with its original release being more sought after than the 2006 re-edit. The scarcity of its early formats, particularly on VHS, adds to the allure for those hunting down rare adult films from the early '80s. The combination of its unique short film structure and Buster's wild persona definitely draws a niche following, making it an intriguing piece for any serious collector.
