Quick Answer

What is Bottoms Up about?

Bottoms Up is a 1974 German comedy film directed by Franz Josef Gottlieb about two secret agents sent to seize a scientist's cow-manure energy formula, who get sidetracked by erotic adventures.

Programmer's Pick

If you ever wondered what would happen if James Bond swapped martinis for schnapps and business for pleasure, here's your answer. Bottoms Up is both a spy spoof and a playground for 1970s German softcore, proving that where science goes, sex farcically follows. Manure has never been mined for quite so many double entendres.

Overview

In this cheeky German sex comedy, a well-meaning scientist stumbles upon a method for transforming cow manure into an energy source—a breakthrough that doesn't go unnoticed. Two secret agents are sent to secure the coveted formula, but their focus wavers as they indulge in amorous escapades with each other and pretty much anyone else who crosses their path. Before long, the local population joins in the pursuit, yet their collective priorities remain skewed toward carnal distractions over scientific espionage. Set in the scenic Alps and peppered with nudity, mistaken identities, and slapstick seductions, Bottoms Up serves up a frothy blend of farce and flesh, never taking its eco-espionage premise too seriously.
