This post is gonna make me seem like a pervert and, well, sure I'm a perv but usually my perv status is well justified. But this time my pervishness is really not the motivation for this quest.
My current semi-obsession is hunting down and downloading rare comicbook-related shows and movies. I've got pretyt much everything done through the 70's like the live-action SHAZAM!, plus rarer things like the Power Pack and Starlord pilot episodes of the late 80's. I've got all the crappy Captain America, Fantastic Four and JLA movies that never made it to theaters. I even have the awesome 1950's "Super Pup" which was like the Superman TV Show, only with midgets dressed like dogs.
Yes, I've got it all... but one thing eludes me. One thing that i can't even confirm or deny the EXISTENCE OF!!!
Starting in 1982 there was an adult underground comic book called "Cherry Poptart". It was a pornographic comic book done in the style of Archie Comics. Think of your average issue of Archie, only Betty is really, REALLY slutty. Over the years I have collected nearly all the issues and I'm not ashamed to admit that Ms. Poptart and her friends helped rocket me through my adolescence.
In the letter column of that comic over the years, the creator would sometimes talk bout how they were making a live-action Cherry Poptart TV Show or Movie or something. It changed back and forth a few times... sometimes it was being made for Showtime or Cinemax, sometimes it was being made as a XXX Porno Flick. The last mention of it in his comics that I can remember he claimed that it was done, it was in the can, and just waiting for FCC approval.
...And that's it. No more.
In my search for every obscure Comic Book related film, I decided to go looking for this film. As far as I can tell it's not available on any free torrent sites, but a few PAY torrent sites claim to have it. I'm just not willing to pay $24.95 to see if they're liars. Google has been unable to tell me if this film even actually EXISTS. Lots of folks out there just like me who had heard about the film, a few who claim to know somebody who's seen it, but no actual first-hand accounts.
This isn't like my searches for films like "The Cocketeer" or "Snatch To The Future" which were just funny because they were parodies... this is a legitimate search for something to complete a collection!
DON'T YOU JUDGE ME!!!
