J.G. 'Pat' Patterson was a protege of Herschel Gordon Lewis and provided 'special effects' for several of his films in the 60's. In 1972 Patterson wrote, directed and starred in his own little gore film called Doctor Gore (aka The Body Shop). Patterson alledgedly used over 15 gallons of fake blood in this ultra-low budget gore fest. When famed plastic surgeon Dr. Don Brandon (Patterson) loses his pin-up model wife in a tragic accident, he vows to 'make' a perfect woman to replace her. With the aid of his faithful hunchbacked assistant 'Gregory' (coincidence?) the homely looking doctor uses hypnosis to seduce and lure a succession of beautiful women in order to harvest their most attractive body parts. He eventually succeeds in assembling 'the perfect woman' and brings her to life! When he unwraps the tinfoil and duct tape from his creation, he is rewarded with a really hot looking babe with no memory of anything and no thoughts of her own... (every mans dream!) ... He must teach her everything... How to dress, how to eat, what she likes and doesn't like... There is just one problem, she is also a complete nymphomaniac who can't keep her hands off of any man she sees! (including poor Gregory!) ... Needless to say, this leads to all sorts of problems for the good doctor. Played mostly for laughs, this movie benefits from the fact that it doesn't take itself too seriously. A lot of fun and worth a watch for those who like this sort of thing.
