[REL] Hey Babe! (1983)
Re: [REL] Hey Babe! (1980)
This looks very interesting & one I totally missed first-time. 'Pretty Baby' but even better?
I think we need our American friends here, either a rich one to buy the VHS & rip, or one to capture as/when/if it's ever aired on TV. Sadly, the content means this is unlikely to appear on the UK channels although if somebody spots it I'll be happy to oblige.
FLL wants an English version of any quality? .............do I smell a possible audio graft-on? I think we need infiniter back again........he was here a couple of days ago.

Re: [REL] Hey Babe! (1980)
I've got to wonder about the enthusiastic comparisons to "Pretty Baby" - is that an accurate equivalent, or were the previous posters just letting their enthusiasm get the best of them? Has anyone currently on the forum actually seen this film to be able to confirm the OT content alluded to above? With Brooke Shields and her oeuvre so prominently a part of the established OT mythos, it just makes me wonder how this film and Jasmine Bleeth (if the descriptions above are accurate) managed to fall so completely off the radar.
Not that I'd mind in the least to have my suspicions disproved ...

Isn't the fact that it's so spectacularly plopped off the radar half of the attraction? Let's face it, despite the obvious interest here, 'Pretty Baby' is not exactly hard to source unless you're looking for a fairy-tale non-existent 'director's cut' whereas until very recently this has simply been unobtainable.
Other than the well documented OT scenes I don't actually think this would need to be THAT good to be the better of 'Pretty Baby'..............

merging audio is exactly what i was thinking. in due time i am sure a hybrid should appear.
Re: [REL] Hey Babe! (1980)
Of course it is! It's in the Director's Cut/Unedited/Super OT thread but unfortunately the thread's only visible to those who've made over 1000 posts!quickone wrote:There's a "Directors Cut" of Pretty Baby???. Where have I been . Is it on the site?

Re: [REL] Hey Babe! (1980)
yes the directors cut is definitely only visible to the few in the know. but you have your post count wrong it is 800 not 1000.
those here perhaps thinking of spending a lot for an old vhs of Hey Babe!. should buy wisely as there is an edited version and then the version we want.

That was my thought, but i wasn't going to say it, since I know from painful experience that that may be very difficult and/or time consuming to do. TV versions are often cut to fit a timeslot, a few seconds here and there for many different scenes. But we'll see, if we can get an English language source...loverboy wrote:FLL wants an English version of any quality? .............do I smell a possible audio graft-on?
In terms of OT-ness you just have to look at the rarefilmfinder page and see that it doesn't list any categories for this film... the "striptease" isn't complete. So in that respect I don't think it compares to Pretty Baby.Hieronymus wrote:I've got to wonder about the enthusiastic comparisons to "Pretty Baby" - is that an accurate equivalent, or were the previous posters just letting their enthusiasm get the best of them?

I think though that Yasmine Bleeth is sufficiently pretty and the theme of the movie is sufficiently odd and FLM-relevant that it would be quite fun to watch. A 54 year old Buddy Hackett and a 12 year old Yasmine Bleeth together? Definitely worth checking out, even if (especially if?) it's as cheesey as it sounds.
There's a funny description of it along with other "tacky" movies at http://www.mediafunhouse.com/pages/medi ... ites2.html

Re: [REL] Hey Babe! (1980)
I do think there's a comparison to be made with "Pretty Baby", though Brooke Shields was trying to be sexy (and failing) and Yasmine just couldn't help it. The main goal of "Babe!" wasn't to present an underage girl as a sex object, but rather as a fun romp in improbable situations with an unlikely pair-up of old and young - they were going for laughter, not erections. The directors weren't taking the low road, with child exploitation or the "shock" value of a nude underage girl, which I think was a BIG part of what the directors of "Pretty Baby" were after.FLL wrote:In terms of OT-ness you just have to look at the rarefilmfinder page and see that it doesn't list any categories for this film... the "striptease" isn't complete.

Though not my most favorite movie and not one of the best ever produced, "Hey Babe!" was fun and I'm not sorry I watched it (even with the German dubbing).
