Cry Uncle!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cry Uncle! (also American Oddballs and Superdick) is a 1971 film produced by Troma Entertainment. It is directed by John G. Avildsen and stars Allen Garfield. The story, based on the Michael Brett novel Lie A Little, Die A Little, follows the misadventures of a slobbish private detective who is hired by a millionaire to investigate a murder. Typical for a Troma picture, the film features a great deal of nudity, sex, drug use, and other shocking activities. One particular scene features an explicit act of necrophilia. The film was banned in Finland for the year following its release, and was also banned from cinematic release in Norway until 2003.
