Doctor Schmock (Harry Reems)is a mad professor who invents a formula called preparation x. This formula is placed on a burger to create an extra large, tasty burger. He eats it and becomes incredibly horny; this annoys him as he constantly craves sex.

The film is clearly based on old sci-fihorror movies like Frankenstein. Harry Reems gives an eccentric but quality performance. The supporting actresses also put on equally over-the-top but decent performances. The best thing about the film is the humour; like Deep Throat the film features ridiculous but funny lines. The tacky props also add to the humour. The film looks cheap compared to Damianos other works like: The Devil in Miss Jones and Deep Throat. The film also appears to take place in one location. The cinematography is good featuring nice camera-work but it is conventional and lacks creativity. The sex scenes are good but only take place between three actors making variety limited; they all feature the positions you would expect without any ingenuity. I think Damiano was playing it safe with this film; not taking any risks with the sex scenes or any aspects of production.

Summary: A decent spoof of old sci-fihorror films let down by a lack of creativity. Beyond the plot the film is very conventional. Worth watching for the humour and performances but I recommend other Damiano films more highly.
