 Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
comment
A kinda sequel to Valley of the Dolls released by 20th Century Fox in 1970. Originally intended as a straight sequel to Valley of the Dolls, the film's commercial success, but critical savaging, resulted in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls instead being reworked as a satire piece and parody of the original. Directed by Russ Meyer and co-written by Meyer and movie critic Roger Ebert (who described landing the gig as an example of inmates Running the Asylum at the studio) about a musical quartet of girls who go to Hollywood to live with the lead singer's wealthy swinger aunt.Pam Grier makes her film debut as an extra.

Anyone Can Die: Every character that attends Z-Man's last party becomes a mortal victim of his sudden rampage. Even Casey isn't spared despite being part of the main triad of characters.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Ronnie "Z-Man" Barzell is a send-up of infamously unstable record producer Phil Spector. Heavyweight boxing champion Randy Black was loosely based on Muhammad Ali.

Ripped from the Headlines: The massacre at the end, in which Z-Man goes off the deep end and kills the guests at his party, was inspired by the Tate-LaBianca murders perpetrated by the Manson family. The film started production just a few months after the murders occurred.

Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll: It's a Russ Meyer movie about a rock band in the late 1960s, and, in the original movie, "dolls" was a slang term for drugs.

Twist Ending: Z-Man is a woman. Or a transgender man. Or a transgender woman who's had breast implants. It's left vague. (Roger Ebert called Z-Man a woman, but the Narrator at the end refers to said character with male pronouns.)

Not only does Susan immediately believe Kelly despite the lack of evidence, but this whole plot point is resolved within the first 10-ish minutes of the film before moving on to something else.

Making Love in All the Wrong Places: Ashley doesn't have a problem with trying to get lucky with Harris in her parked car. He manages to convince her to at least go to a more sheltered driveway. It seems like she gets a kick out of public sex since she later tries doing the same on a beach and an exasperated Harris enumerates other inappropriate places where they did it (phone booth, billiard table, swinging on a chandelier, standing on a canoe).

Abortion Fallout Drama: Casey gets pregnant from sleeping with Harris. She wants to keep the baby after Harris becomes paralyzed since this would be Harris' only shot at having a child, but Roxanne convinces her to have an abortion as the baby would be a Child by Rape. Casey goes along with it without really being sure and it takes an emotional toll on her. And then she dies at the end, the implication being that it is karma either for her abortion or lesbianism (or both).

Evil Lawyer Joke: Z-Man sardonically presents law student Emerson as some kind of budding demon, although Emerson is actually a legitimate Nice Guy.

Sex Montage: Harris having sex with Ashley in her Rolls Royce is intercut with his ex-girlfriend Kelly (whom he's moping about) having sex with her new lover Lance. Another montage occurs when Z-Man makes a toast to the Carrie Nations, showing the band's members having sex with their respective love interests.

Does Not Like Men: When Roxanne remarks on Casey's less-than-pleasant run-in with Porter, Casey sums up her thoughts by uttering "Men," to which Roxanne simply replies "Ninety-nine percent." Casey makes an exception for Harris and considers him her friend, until the two sleep together while under the influence and she chases him off in the morning, saying he's just like all the rest.

comment
The Three Faces of Eve: Pleasure-seeking and somewhat wily Kelly is the Seductress, shy and sweet Casey is the Child and the relatively stable and mature Petronella is the Wife. The three next most important female characters also fit this quite well. Susan, who sees the good in everyone, is the Child, sex-driven Ashley is the Seductress and stoic, pragmatic Roxanne is the Wife.

After getting an abortion, Casey becomes submissive and totally emotionally dependent on Roxanne, leading to her attending a private party of Z-Man's which she otherwise wouldn't have, and there she gets murdered by him.

Karma Houdini: Ashley gets out of the movie completely unscathed, despite the fact that her callousness led to ruin for both Harris and Casey. Even antagonistic characters that weren't caught up in the climactic massacre, such as Porter and Randy, get some sort of comeuppance for their actions, making it all the more noticeable that it's not the case for Ashley (in fairness, her worst actions still make her less evil than an attempted embezzler and an attempted rapist).

comment
Wall Glower: At Z-Man's first party, Casey refrains from mingling and retreats to the quieter places she can find. After that she prefers skipping Z-Man's parties altogether and staying home. When she's convinced to attend another one, it ironically proves fatal to her.

Naked in Mink: At least one of the posters◊ shows a bunch of girls laying around several fur coats.

Broken Bird: Casey is a pretty sad and withdrawn person, implied to be from struggling with her sexuality.

Horrible Hollywood
 Beyond the Valley of the Dolls / int_d55108a1
comment
Horrible Hollywood: Three girls and a guy come to Hollywood to find money and fame, but the place's decadence causes them to lose touch with their morals and make terrible choices (Kelly, Pet and Harris all have flings with jerkasses, while Casey has an accidental one-night stand with Harris that leads to an abortion).

comment
Throwing Off the Disability: Harris tries to kill himself after having drunken sex with Casey, succeeding only in losing the use of his legs. In the end, the shock of Z-Man's massacre somehow allows him to recover and walk again.

Rejecting the Inheritance: Kelly could demand some of Aunt Susan's inheritance, but is fine with letting her keep it all. At least until Lance convinces her she should demand her share.

Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: Emerson is often too busy studying to spend time with Petronella, something Randy is quite happy to lampshade as he talks her into sleeping with him.

Gold Digger: Lance is a gigolo mainly motivated by dough, and dates Kelly so he can get his hands on her inheritance. When she tells him she's not that interested in the money and told her aunt to keep it all to herself, he rushes to convince her that she is at least owed something.

comment
Attempted Rape: Randy tries to rape Pet but Emerson intervenes, allowing Pet to grab a knife and force Randy to leave. Z-Man gets a bit insistent with Lance, but Lance talks him down by basically demeaning him. Lance's resistance and callousness causes things to go in a very different direction (the massacre).

Running Gag: After Harris is paralyzed, they poke fun at him with unintentionally funny dialogue, showing him struggling to get into a wheelchair during the climactic final battle, and the bizarre river-crossing-on-crutches scene during the ending after he regains the use of his legs.
