"Up in Flames" is a 1973 pornographic film. It is an unauthorized adaptation of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and Mr. Natural comics.cite web |url=http://www.ripoffpress.com/fbmovie.cfm |title=The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers Movie! |accessdate=2007-01-26 |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= |year= |month= |format= |work= |publisher=Rip Off Press, Inc.'s Freak Brothers Factory Store |pages= |language= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |quote= ] cite web |url=http://www.somethingweird.com/cart.php?target=product&product_id=23338 |title=DRAGON ART THEATRE DOUBLE FEATURE VOL 009: UP IN FLAMES / A STAR IS BORN |accessdate=2007-01-26 |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= |year= |month= |format= |work= |publisher=Something Weird Video |pages= |language= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |quote= ] However, two of the Freak Brothers have been renamed (to "Vinnie" and "Frank"), and none of the three "Freak Brothers" resembled their comic book counterparts. For instance, the actor portraying Fat Freddy was tall and thin, with straight brown hair and a small moustache. The film also did not feature drug use, and instead consisted of the main characters "getting it on with some pretty skanky-looking chicks by 21st century standards."

Plot

Dolores, the Freak Brothers' landlady, is going to evict them unless they can come up with rent money. As a result, the trio is forced to get jobs. Frank becomes a painter, Vinnie has sex with Dolores, and Freddie meets Mr. Natural, the 82-year-old proprietor of a health food store who dresses in a potato sack and wears a fake Santa Claus beard which he removes for the sex scenes.
