Interesting facts

Up! is a 1976 American softcore sex comedy film directed by Russ Meyer and starring Raven De La Croix, Robert McLane, Kitten Natividad, and Monty Bane.

Production

In the early 1970s, Russ Meyer made two flops in a row, The Seven Minutes and Black Snake, before returning to his older style with Supervixens. He said, "I'm back to big bosoms, square jaws, lotsa action and the most sensational sex you ever saw. I'm back to what I do best - erotic, comedic sex, sex, sex - and I'll never stray again."

Supervixens was a hit, and Meyer said afterwards, "I plan to stick to what I know works and make one X picture after the next and be even more outrageous with sex and keep pushing the boundaries further and further."

"Sure, it appeals to prurient interest," said Meyer. "Why not appeal to prurient interest?"

The film starred Kitten Natividad, who Meyer would become romantically involved with. Natividad later said she "loved" making the film. She was comfortable with the nudity, "but what was uncomfortable was when he would direct me and I had all these big, big lines and he would say, "don't blink" and I was facing the sun and my eyes would get dry... It was uncomfortable making it because I sat on trees that had ants crawling up my ass."

The movie took place and was filmed in and about a small cabin on Salmon Creek near Miranda in Northern California at the summer cabin of Wilfred Bud Kues, listed as part of the movies' production team and a life-long friend of Russ Meyer, having met at the Alameda Naval Air Station during World War II, and mentioned in Russ' tremendous three-volume life story.
