I have not seen it, but the few reviews I read indicate the film is
garbage. As far as the "rape" scene, it is my understanding from the
reviews, she is "raped" off camera. I don't think the film has much if
any porn involving Yoko. I am not sure it really has any porn at all.
It is just a bad film.

It's not a porn movie. I've suffered through this hellish movie and
Yoko isn't even nude in it. The movie is just plain BAD. It would have
been worse had Yoko traipsed around naked in it.

if you are a john and/or yoko fan . . .

SCARE THEIR PANTS OFF / SATAN'S BED - SPECIAL EDITION DVD

Yes, it?s Yoko Ono, sex maniacs, and off-kilter kink in this goofy,
ultra-gritty Grindhouse Double Feature! Since lunatics John and Bert
can?t enjoy sex unless their women are first properly terrified, they
abduct three lovely ladies and attempt to SCARE THEIR PANTS OFF! A
pretty blonde finds herself confronted by a Phantom-of-the-Opera-like
figure who just wants a little kiss; trouble is, his face looks like
the surface of the moon. Victim #2 wakes up strapped to a sacrificial
altar where she?s to be a gift to the god Apu. And a third gal is
inexplicably interrogated by the fascist police of some demented
dictator. Of course, it?s all just a crazy charade as John and Bert
gleefully demonstrate why blind dates can be so scary...

PLUS: The same year the The Beatles? second film, HELP!, premiered,
John Lennon?s future soul mate, avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, made her
acting debut in the twisted sickie SATAN?S BED. Ono, in a kimono, plays
the Japanese bride-to-be of a drug smuggling immigration agent who
wants to abandon crime crime for life with Yoko. But Lou, a small-time
drug dealer, doesn?t want to lose his main supplier so he cancels the
wedding by kidnapping Ono. And when he also hires three psychos -
Snake, Dip, and Angel - to rough her up, they create a mini-crimewave
that culminates in a wild attack upon... the wrong woman. Oy. So join
Yoko for a typical day in Sin City that starts when you climb under the
sheets of SATAN?S BED!

I fail to understand why anyone in their right mind would want to see
anything produced Yoko Ono.

point in her career."

I partially agree, but to be fair, I would be curious to know when the
film was made. I believe it was early on in her "career."

We must remember that many artists go through a "starving artist"
period where they take odd jobs, pose nude or engage in other activity
which does not necessarily truly represent them, but which they do in
order to pay the bills. For example, some of the Beatles' earliest
gigs involved backing up a stipper or two and playing for some really
rough crowds where jealous boyfriends would threaten and/or attack the
band. Hamberg in general and the area the Beatles played in particular
was a seedy place, offering patrons prostitutes, drugs, and other
questionable activity.

Madonna, early on in her career, posed nude for photos that have been
published.

I would imagine many people (especially women) who are now stars
engaged in such activity.

As you will see from the description on the video box (reprinted
below), Yoko signed on for a questionable "art" film, and additional
footage was later added to turn it into something trashier.

- Dr Strangemonde

Only in the world of gutter cinema could John Lennon's future soul
mate YOKO ONO collide with Touch of Her Flesh director MICHAEL FINDLAY
-- and never actually meet. Nevertheless, collide they do in Satan's
Bed, a wonderfully twisted sickie -- released the same year as The
Beatles's second film Help -- which was partially directed by the
perverse Mr. Findlay.

Ono, in a kimono, plays Ito, the Japanese bride-to-be of a
drug-smuggling immigration agent who wants to abandon the wonderful
world of crime for the life of a married man. Depositing Ito at a Times
Square hotel, Pauly rushes off to make arrangements for her to stay
with a friend on Long Island. But Lou, a small-time drug dealer,
doesn't want to lose his main supplier so he cancels Pauly's
wedding by having the hotel bellboy bring the confused Ito to his Uncle
Eddie's place ("Take a look, an Eastern delicacy!") where she's
robbed and raped. Then Lou takes "the Oriental chick" to his place
where she's raped again....

But wait! Wait! That's only half the story! Apparently, all of the
above began life as a film called Judas City (with the director
credited as TAMIJIAN) which was either never completed or deemed
commercially unreleaseable. Somehow, the job of turning Judas City into
Satan's Bed fell to Michael Findlay, who ingeniously added a berserk
parallel plot about three psycho drug addicts who prowl the landscape
creating their own sadistically pointless crime spree....

Waking from a night of chemical excess, Snake, Dip, and Angel seek more
heroin -- and cackle at the previous night's victim: ROBERTA FINDLAY,
bound and gagged on a pool table. (In one of her rare interviews,
Roberta said she never appeared in this film, but that's her on the
pool table alright.) Needing cash, they break into the apartment of a
woman taking a shower, rob the place, then attack her for kicks.

A message from Lou tells them to go to Long Island and rough up Ito:
"When Pauly sees what we do to this chick, he'll have to stay in
the rackets!" So the three steal a car from a housewife -- and
assault the woman on the front lawn of her home! -- then drive out to
the address they've been given to attack the woman living there. Who,
it turns out, isn't Ito. Ito's at Lou's place which they don't
know since, after all, they're not really in the same film with her.
Nevertheless, the three proceed to declare a full-scale war on the
wrong woman....

Since Findlay didn't have access to any of the actors in the original
footage -- God knows what he would have done to Yoko -- he tied things
together with a few lines of dialogue so tenuous as to almost be
transparent. It doesn't matter. The end result is a truly demented
masterpiece of a world completely out of control. While Judas City
would have merely been a nasty little movie, Satan's Bed is nothing
less than a gleefully twisted celebration of nihilism and utterly
pointless anarchy. Wow.

Thanks for printing this review and the approximate date of release.

When one reads the Yoke's bios and self promotional material, she would
have us believe that she was a successful "artist" by 1966, having
shows all over the place. If this film was released in 1965, I guess
her career was not so great at that time.

I don't see how this film has any bearing on Yoko's career as an artist.
It was an unifinished independent/underground/art film which was sold to
an exploitation director who added some sleazy runaround footage to make
it marketable to the grindhouses/drive-ins. This happened all the time
in that business.

Yoko gets top billing, but she actually appears in the film far less
than that would suggest.

However, she does get to sing a bit, as she chants whilst running a
bath. An early Yoko rarity, worthy of being bootlegged (even though it's
officially available on the DVD)!
