Jim Wynorski directed Traci Lords (Not of This Earth), Heather Locklear (Return of Swamp Thing), and Jennifer Love Hewitt (Home for Christmas).

Now, the man behind The Bare Wench Project and The Devil Wears Nada has a new challenge: filming a movie in THREE DAYS.

He has a successful formula (A Big Chase, and A Big Chest) and a catchy title (The Witches of Breastwick). Now he just needs to cut the schedule, the crew, makeup and food so he can focus on the only special effects he can afford: the intrinsic assets of buxom Julie K. Smith, Monique Parent, and Stormy Daniels.

This award-winning doc peeks into the top-popping world of B-Movies with humor and insight before they disappear from our shelves.

He's directed seventy feature films, but he's never made one... in THREE DAYS.

Jim cuts the shooting schedule, has the actors cook their own food, and reduces his electric package to just two lights so he can concentrate on his filmmaking philosophy, "A Big Chase and A Big Chest."

Watch this behind-the-scenes documentary of Jim Wynorski's latest B-movie, "The Witches of Breastwick", and laugh as Jim prepares to "Pop some tops."

The documentary showcases interviews with B-Movie legends Roger Corman, Sr and Andy Sidaris, as well as a bevy of beauties: Julie K. Smith, Monique Parent, Stormy Daniels, Julie Strain, Glori-Anne Gilbert, and Antonia Dorian. There's even a cameo appearance by Taime Hannum! Find out how Jim gained the nickname, "Tom Popatopolous"!

  • I think I'm gonna check this out. I also have "Witches of Breastwick 2" and I think I liked that one more because there's more sex, more gorgeous women (l love Tamie Hannum) and better use of Brain Garden's songs. I'm still waiting for all the Bare Wench movies to be released. I have 1-4 (4 bought only from the Bare Wench site. Not worth the money btw) and I want part 5 but can't find it. I heard Julie Strain and Nikki Fritz no longer act. Does Lenny Juliano (Lunk) still act?

  • @NewYorkS4U I believe Lenny is still writing quite a bit (he co-wrote several Wynorski flicks) but I haven't seen him acting in anything recently... And you're right - Julie Strain has now retired. Unsure about Nikki.

  • @imaginautent I might buy this. This documentary might be an educational experience for me, don't you think? I like Jim's determined side in which he wishes to get a job done in so little time, and do a job himself if his cast and crew don't share his determination. I'm in college developing a career in screenwriting and advertising, so my field of interest might be relevant to his. Maybe not with advertising, but screenwriting, for sure.

  • @NewYorkS4U Plenty to learn from Jim when it comes to movie-making, and as a screenwriter you'd take away much, including the adage about putting your money into the location - 'cause whatever your sets look like is what your movie looks like. Save money elsewhere, but put it toward stuff that'll actually end up on screen.

    And you might be surprised about what you'd learn in marketing/advertising as well - he's a huge success on the basis of his TITLES (Devil Wears Nada, Cleaveagefield, etc)

  • DVD finally released on Amazon and popatopolis site!

  • Screening at the Egyptian Theater through the American Cinematheque on Thursday, May 27th at 7:30 - a Q&A follows with JIM HIMSELF! Double-Feature with Return of Swamp Thing follows. Tix available on Fandango and free tickets to presales purchasers of the DVD at our site...

    Let us know if you like it!

see all

  • @NewYorkS4U you've gone to college to learn script writing and make roger corman type junk?!

    and now maybe you're an occupy wall street protester?

    the whole point of these sexploitation movies is that any idiot can make them.

    just as was satirized on THE SOPRANOS, when tony's idiot son goes from pizzaria manager to movie studio gopher by the last episode

    and youtube is swamped with junior (!) high school kids editing and directing their own stuff.

  • were can i watch this for free online? the witches movie lol

  • Wynorski and Lloyd Kaufman NEED to make a movie together. THAT would rule the earth!!!

  • The redhead is the hottest. By far.

  • Where is this Wynorski anyway? They kept showing Bruce Vilanch.
