Wet Shorts

About This Movie

Wet Shorts from 1980 is a curious entry in the realm of adult cinema. It dives into the realm of fantasy with a touch of whimsy, showcasing six distinct erotic tales drawn straight from the visuals of a blue boy magazine. The atmosphere is a mix of playful and risqué, capturing the essence of its era in a way that feels both dated and oddly charming. While the direction remains a mystery, the practical effects used to bring these fantasies to life add a tactile quality that feels refreshingly analog. Each vignette has its own pacing, some lingering longer than others, which can create a unique rhythm that’s both engaging and a bit disjointed, perhaps reflecting the nature of the fantasies themselves.

Wet Shorts is somewhat obscure, often overshadowed by more mainstream adult films of its time. There’s a niche collector interest for this title, primarily due to its unique premise and the era it captures. On formats, VHS copies can be found, but their condition often varies, making well-preserved editions quite sought after. Its scarcity adds to its allure for collectors who appreciate this blend of fantasy and adult themes.
