'Gator Bait



A 1974 exploitation film starring Playboy Playmate Claudia Jennings. The story follows a gorgeous Louisiana poacher named Desiree as she runs from the local sheriff, his inept deputy son, the mean and nasty patriarch of the Bracken family, and his two dumb-as-mud hillbilly kin after being framed for murder. The movie was sold on the idea of seeing Jennings run around in cutoffs but there's a number of squirm inducing scenes of attempted rape. A sequel was made in 1988 called Gator Bait: Cajun Justice, with 100% less Claudia Jennings and 300% more hairspray.

This film provides examples of:


 * Action Girl: Desiree is easily the most capable character in the film.
 * Artistic License Biology: For a guy who was supposedly castrated Leroy is an awfully horny fellow.
 * B-Movie: You bet.
 * Brother-Sister Incest: Almost happens until Pa Bracken breaks it up with a bullwhip.
 * Corrupt Hick: Billy Boy.
 * Deep South: The film takes place in a Louisiana swamp.
 * Does Not Like Shoes: Desiree spends the entire film barefoot.
 * Eighties Hair: The sequel.
 * Fan Service: Claudia Jennings in cut offs was obviously intended as this.
 * Fetish Fuel: It's an exploitation film, and they cast a Playboy Playmate. Of course it's this.
 * Gorn: Julie
 * Jerkass: TJ Bracken uses a bullwhip to keep his boys in line. In his defense, however, they are both stupid as hell.
 * Narm: Jennings' attempt at a Cajun accent.
 * Only Sane Man: Sheriff Joe Bob is the only person in the hunting party who tries to use logic.
 * Secret Other Family:
 * Too Dumb to Live: When a bag of snakes gets thrown into his boat, Billy Boy tries to shoot them. Guess what happens. Also, Pete and Leroy Bracken by default.
 * The Voiceless: Desiree's kid brother was born without a tongue.
