If you can find the rare uncut version, Fugitive Girls will prove to be a perfect mix of soft-core material and unintentional silliness.

Apparently, the so-bad-it’s-good genre is alive and well (if that’s really the word I want) in the field of Direct-to-DVD films. IIRC Nathan Shumate’s tragically defunct (not just that there’s no new ones but that even the old ones were wiped out) Cold Fusion review site covered many films (mostly horror) that might have qualified as such, although obviously it’s subjective.
Sometimes people will set out to make a so-bad-it’s-good film (although I’ll admit no examples occur to me), which seems to work just about as well as setting out to make a classic film, i.e. not at all. Ed Wood sincerely INTENDED to make reasonably good films and it’s his sincerity that gives them part of their SBIG quality. In contrast, H.G. Lewis, on the opposite end of the spectrum, was in it solely for the fast buck and it SHOWS, yet that’s part of the SBIG quality of *his* work. It’s such a fine line…

P.S.
Here’s a much briefer review, but with images (some NSFW). The reviewer thinks it can be enjoyable viewing so long as one can “get past the few flaws.” Yeah, you’d think…
