This new set just released by MVD Rewind includes The Bikini Carwash Company I and II.
The Bikini Carwash Company (1992)
When his uncle must go a retreat to cure his allergies, a young man takes on the family business: A carwash that perhaps isn’t performing all too well. Soon, our young lead finds a solution to this by hiring beautiful people to wash cars in bikinis… or less. The film here is exactly what you would expect it to, babes in bikinis, a few dudes around, he acting is basic at best, but the writing and direction are in the same boat. Everyone here is having fun, doing what they can with the script and the carwash set-up, so it’s not Oscar material and it’s a whole lot of low brow, but it’s entertaining. The film isn’t great, but it’s not horrible so it works for an evening of lighthearted fun.
The Bikini Carwash Company II (1993)
Quickly following in the footsteps of the first, a new group of folks need to save a carwash where people wash cars in their swimsuits. Here, the person in charge is a woman and she even brings in her lawyer who is also a woman. This is made explicitly clear in a sort of “aren’t we cool and progressive” kind of way. Does it work for the film? Meh, kind of. Here is the thing, this is the sequel for the film above and the only thing the viewer gets more of is boobs. And a few shirtless dudes, some butt cheeks, and cars that get washed with them. This isn’t groundbreaking again, but it’s as expect from a genre of film that had its place in time. The writing here is not great and not bad, same for just about everything else, but let’s be honest, none of the usual film review elements are the main point of interest here.
This new set from MVD Rewind has both films in 1080p mastered from standard definition tape masters and also in their standard definition (so one can really see the difference here), the first film has Spanish language as an option which the second film does not while both films have optional subtitles. In terms of extras, the second film is barebones beyond the above while the first film has a new feature commentary with Jim Wynorski, and a collectible mini-poster. In terms of extras, these are not particularly impressive, but given the films at hand, a release in high definition at all is a good thing for those who love them and those who love to collect films like these.
