For the
first movie, Edwin Anthony (played by Hywel Bennett from TWISTED
NERVE) looses his penis in a tragic accident which also kills
a young playboy. A doctor successfully replaces Edwin's dick with the
one belonging to the dead man. However, Edwin is never told of the donor's
womanizing ways or how proficient the substitute penis had been. So, driven
by an unnatural, lusty zest, Edwin begins a search that takes him to the
philanderer's wife and many, many girlfriends.
In the
second film, Edwin's name is changed to "Percy" [Percy
was the name of the penis in the original] and Hywel Bennett - refusing
to return for the lead role in the sequel - is replaced by Leigh Lawson.
For this one, Percy Edwin is determined to break his addiction to sex
so he escapes to a remote island for a life of celibacy. Meanwhile, a
catastrophe with the world's water supply has rendered the entire male
population impotent... that is, everyone but Percy. Now he must return
to England and save the human race.
Leigh
Lawson was not known for big screen productions. Rather, he starred in
a significant number of television shows [some sources list as many as
75]. He was probably better known for being the husband of supermodel
Twiggy. In a quirky twist of fate, he fathered a child with Haley Mills
in 1978. She had starred in TWISTED
NERVE with Hywel Bennett and now - a few years later - Hywel is
replaced by Leigh in this sequel.
Of particular
interest, the music is written by Ray Davies and performed by the Kinks.
