Really Surprised!

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

"Graf Dracula in Oberbayern" or "Dracula Blows His Cool" is a West German / Italian co-production from 1979, so this one is already over 35 years old. I must say I am neither familiar with director Carl Schenkel or writer "Grünbach", but I have seen other works by Erich Tomek and everybody else who has will know what to expect here. Tomek is known for writing comedy films with many sexual references, naked women and this is exactly what this film here is. Of course, there is a major impact in terms of the vampire film genre as the title already tells us as well. But they never even tried to be scary actually. But they tried to be funny and like it is the case with so many other German comedy films from the 1970s, they did not succeed. This is one of these uncountable trashy comedy films from 1970's West Germany. And that's why the only approach to give this film is the one of a guilty pleasure as luckily it never takes itself seriously, which also shows at the very end with how the makers spoof the idea of a perfect happy ending. I cannot say I am familiar with the cast here at all and the only one I know is Ralf Wolter and Winnetou fans will be surprised to see him in a completely different film and role. I see this 90-minute film has many foreign actors who were dubbed by German voice actors, such as Elmar Wepper. As a whole, this was not a good watch and I don#t recommend these 1.5 hours. Thumbs down and only worth seeing for the biggest vampire film fans who have seen everything else.

This is a badly dubbed German sex comedy/Dracula spoof from the late 70's disco era featuring horrid disco numbers like one apparently titled "Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Rock Me, Dracula" (at least those are the only lyrics). But considering all this, it is not all that bad (in the same way that for a medieval torture, the thumb-screw is not all that painful). A young photographer has inherited an old castle and decides to make money by turning it into a disco, using his dimwitted, clothing-averse female models to publicize it. Little does he suspect that his ancient ancestor Dracula (who looks just like him) is living in the basement. He and his vampire wife have been kept at bay by the local village idiot (dubbed by a Peter Lorre impersonator), who has been providing them with blood surreptitiously taken from the local hospital. But now Dracula, tempted by the readily available, nubile disco queens and driven to distraction bad disco music, is about to, as the very 70's English language title puts it, "blow his cool".There are plenty of bad jokes involving the randy town mayor, the local spinster "Ms. Nutcracker", and a giant ceramic phallus (you don't wanna know). There is also, fortunately, A LOT of female nudity. There's one attractive fraulein named "Mickey", who, when she's not actually naked, seems to be flagrantly violating US copyright laws by wearing a Mickey Mouse t-shirt and carrying around Mickey and Minnie Mouse dolls (strangely, this very same year Jess Franco had a killer in a Mickey Mouse mask in his German-produced, disco-themed slasher flick "Bloody Moon"--for some reason the low-budget German film industry of that time seemed determined to antagonize the Disney corporation). The only really recognizable actress though is Betty Virges, who was in a lot of bad "coming-of-age" German sex comedies of this era like "The Fruit is Ripe" and "Summer Night Fever" (unfortunately however, her frequent co-star in these films, the luscious Olivia Pascal, is conspicuously absent here).Not to say I would really recommend this to anybody, but it is intermittently entertaining. And lord knows I've seen A LOT worse stuff than this.

When photographer Stan turns his ancestral castle into a discotheque, he is unaware that his vampiric great-grandparents still live in the crypt, having spent many years feeding on stolen bottled plasma (supplied to them by their loyal servant Boris). Now, with an endless stream of young clubbers partying mere feet from their coffins, the undead couple cannot resist rising from their tomb to sample fresh blood.A late-70s sex comedy from Germany, Dracula Blows His Cool is a puerile mix of slapstick, smut, and disco music that is unlikely to tickle the ribs of even the most unsophisticated audience. However, red-blooded males might find it easy to forgive the embarrassingly awful comedic content since the film also features a constant stream of nudity from a bevy of beautiful, buxom women.And, if like me, you find that you can, from time-to-time, when in the right frame of mind, actually derive enjoyment from shockingly awful films (with loads of tits and soft-core sex), then there is a slim chance you could find this dated slice of trash worth watching. But it might be a good idea to get drunk first, just in case.4 out of 10 (or possibly 5, if suitably rat-arsed).

See this movie it is loads of laughs from all of the characters. Fans of Benny Hill, Monty Python, and anybody looking for a crazy and different movie needs to watch this. Not recommened for younger viewers because of the vast amounts of nudity. Great for lovers looking for a little romance movie. Has a little horror but is okay for you because it is quick. This is a type of movie if you rent it you will want to buy it. This is a great escape movie from the modern action movie or lousy sex movie(Showgirls). RENT IT IF YOU CAN FIND IT.
