SW, WTF? (An ErosBleg)

A little while back, in the course of a post on the possibility that computer technology will soon make fantasy-to-image conversion easier and more satisfying, I mentioned a minor phenomenon I called “SW enthusiasm,” people interested in scenes or instances of women shrinking down to doll size or smaller, and even indulged in a bit of it myself, spinning out a whimsical piece of script in that vein.

Shortly after doing it, I recalled seeing a brief video clip that falls squarely into the SW enthusiasm thing. I recalled it as part of a video collection of some kind, and also that it was incredibly cheap, cheesy, and weird. I considered the possibility that it was some sort of fantasy that got turned into a pseudomemory, but on reflection that didn’t seem quite right, because my fantasies would surely have had better special effects, at least in my mind’s eye.

Well, it’s the glorious age of the Internet, which means that with a certain amount of head-scratching and Google searching and perhaps a small outlay of cash, you can sharpen up strange old memories. And so I did. The clip indeed exists. I saw it in a compilation called Bad Girls in the Movies. And it sure is cheap, cheesy, and weird. My best efforts at transcribing its script would go something like this:

          INT. A CHEESY MAD SCIENCE LAB - DAY

          GIRL SUBJECT is lying nude on a black-topped table.  SUBJECT
          #2 stands to one side, wearing what looks like a towel.
          ANNOYING ROBOT stands at the head of the table, while
          MOUSTACHE GUY stands guard in the background.

                              ANNOYING ROBOT
                         (turning from side to side)

                    Roger this!  Roger this!  Roger
                    this!  Achieve!

          (Note:  At least, that's my best guess as to what Annoying
          Robot is saying.  The voice is processed to sound "roboty"
          and isn't very clear.)

          CLOSE-UP: MAD SCIENCE GIRL AT HER CONTROL PANEL

          MAD SCIENCE GIRL flips several switches and pulls a lever.

          A series of shots showing Girl Subject shrinking down to
          about eight inches tall.

          Mad Science Girl throws several more switches.

          BACK TO SCENE

          SUBJECT #3 is now standing next to the table, removing
          something that looks like a hospital gown.

          Mad Science Girl goes to the table and picks up the shrunken
          Girl Subject.

          (Note:  In this shot "Girl Subject" is obviously a Barbie
          Doll or similar sort of doll used as a prop.)

          The lab door slides open and TOM comes in, carrying some
          sort of futuristic-looking clipboard.  He looks down at the
          shrunken Girl Subject.

                              TOM

                    Not two more.

                              MAD SCIENCE GIRL

                    Hi, Tom.

                              TOM

                    Hey, careful there!

          Tom takes Girl Subject into his hands.

                              TOM

                    Poor little things.  Just for
                    making love.

          CLOSE-UP:  GIRL SUBJECT HELD IN TOM'S HAND

          The lower half of Girl Subject's body is wrapped in Tom's
          hand.  Her hands are held up.

                              GIRL SUBJECT

                    This horny bitch dropped me!

          BACK TO SCENE

                              ANNOYING ROBOT

                    Fornication without sanction!
                    Fornication without sanction!
                    Forni...

                              TOM

                         (cutting Annoying Robot off)

                    Don't you ever give anyone a break?

          Annoying Robot salutes (?) Tom and leaves the Mad Lab.

I can represent what happens here in some pictures, albeit of regrettably low quality.

The girl on the table.

The girl shrinking.

The girl being picked up by Mad Science Girl.

And being held by Tom.

What I’m still scratching my head about is where on earth is this oddity from? What’s the context here? What strange practice is Tom referring to about shrunken people being “just for making love?” Is this something that the SW enthusiasts of the world really ought to know about?

I would be delighted if anyone could tell me, hence the bleg. I have confidence that it is addressed to the readership best in the world for addressing questions of sexual weirdness.

And even if you can’t tell me, inventing your own movie into which this scene might somehow fit (so at least not every line of dialog seems like a bizarre non-sequitur) might also be a lot of fun.
