Blast Off Girls


BlastOff Girls is a 1967 American exploitation film directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis.

Undaunted, Boojie and his loyal but dimwitted assistant Gordy Ray Sager walk into a local bar for some cheap drinks and they discover a new band performing, played by reallife Chicago garage rock band The Faded Blue. Promising them a recording contract and ensuing fame, Boojie renames the fiveman group The Big Blast, outfits them in designer suits and sets about to prime them for stardom. This is done by utilizing a bevy of attractive and loose women to seduce a recording engineer, photographing him in the heat of the moment and then blackmailing him into letting The Big Blast cut a single. The group cuts their big hit, and Boojie presumably uses similar tactics to promote the record and garner airplay. However, as the bands popularity grows, it doesnt take long before they begin to wonder why they arent receiving any money for their labors.A little later, the Big Blast confronts Boojie in his office and accuse him of swindling them out of their hardearned money for their record sales and demand that he pay them up front for their work from now on. Being a hard line negotiator, Boojie refuses to budge in that respect, and welcomes the boys to seek fame in fortune in other avenues. To show there are no hard feelings, he even invites them to a party at his apartment. It turns out that this party, replete with liquor, women and marijuana is a setup, and a police detective shows up to raid it. Coincidentally, this is before Boojie arrives, and when he does, it seems that he also has some pull in the police department. As it happens, he is able to bail the boys out of this serious legal jam if they agree to sign new contracts which expands Boojies hold on them to five years, and Boojie would now be receiving over 80 of their profits. One by one, each of the five members concedes to Boojies demands. Incidentally, after they leave, the detective hits up Boojie for some of the grass. ........
