This otherwise amateurishly produced feature may be of some interest to neophyte viewers of the film Boogie Nights, as it is an R-rated version of the sort of extremely inept pornographic films depicted in that movie. Otherwise, it is strictly for those who for whatever reason, can't get enough of its performers, Ginger Lynn, Tom Byron, and Sharon Kelly (or Colleen Brennan). ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Although Spalding Gray would probably like to forget this first of three sequels to Ilsa, She-Wolf of the S.S., he does indeed appear as the mad oil baron El Sharif. The sadistic Ilsa (Dyanne Thorne) is in charge of his elite harem guard and struts about with two topless Amazon guards, Satin (Tanya Boyd) and Velvet (Marilyn Joi), who do things like ripping off men's testicles with their bare hands. Don Edmonds' film is a real freakshow, as Ilsa fattens up a huge fertility goddess and trades in white slavery while devising her usual clever tortures. Highlights include an exploding dildo and a head-cage in which a hungry rat is trapped against the victim's face. Subplots deal with the Sheik's son (Bobby Woods), who is kept feral in a dark pit to keep him from claiming the throne, and the usual blond American stud (Michael Thayer) whom Ilsa cannot resist. Despite its smarmy sleaze and gory special effects by Joe Blasco, this is a gorgeous-looking film, with the sort of expansive photography and flamboyant action one might expect from a desert epic costing ten times as much. Although its predecessor and Jesus Franco's follow-up Greta, Haus Ohne Maenner (1977) are more notorious, this is the best and most entertaining film of the series. Cult actors Ivan Rassimov, Sharon Kelly, and Uschi Digart also appear. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

This adult spoof of television shows involves soft-core porn and raunchy humor. ~ Kristie Hassen, Rovi
Director Robert Aldrich (The Longest Yard) re-unites with Burt Reynolds for this hard-edged neo-noir. Lieutenant Phil Gaines (Reynolds) is a cynical Los Angeles police detective amorously involved with an icewater-veined Parisian call girl, Nicole Britton (Catherine Deneuve). On the job, he begins to investigate the shady death of a teenage girl that appears to lead straight to Leo Sellers (Eddie Albert), an attorney with a frightening number of connections. The problem is, Nicole herself has a direct connection to the case - Leo is one of her clients. Meanwhile, Marty Hollinger (Ben Johnson), the victim's father, decides to undertake a grassroots investigation of his own - little realizing that his seemingly murdered daughter was in up to her neck with prostitution, porno movie acting, and dancing as a stripper, facts which suggest that she may have offed herself. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Russ Meyer once again airs his obsessions with huge breasts, violent revenge and escaped Nazi war criminal Martin Bormann in this highly perverse sex comedy/action thriller. Clint (Charles Pitts) is working at a gas station (run by none other than Martin Bormann, who was working as a bartender in Meyer's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls) when his wife is brutally murdered by Harry Sledge (Charles Napier), a cop with a deeply sadistic streak. Clint tries to bring Harry to justice while Harry attempts to frame Clint for the crime. In the meantime, Clint is constantly pursued by a variety of women with improbable names, voracious sexual appetites and bodies that make Pamela Anderson look like Kate Moss. More violent and less witty than many of Meyer's films, Supervixens features a villainous performance by Charles Napier, another from Meyer stalwart Stuart Lancaster and several typically cantilevered beauties, including Haji, Shari Eubank and Uschi Digard. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A frankly adult comedy about the sex lives of the aimless and the rich, Shampoo is also a pointed commentary on the demise of 1960s idealism at the dawn of the Nixon era. It is Election Day, 1968, and randy Beverly Hills hairdresser George Roundy (Warren Beatty) is too worried about attending to all of his women's tonsorial and sexual needs, while trying to swing a bank loan to fund his own salon, to notice the fateful Presidential race. As George juggles the demands of girlfriend Jill (Goldie Hawn) and mistress Felicia (Lee Grant), not to mention Felicia's daughter (Carrie Fisher), he meets Felicia's husband Lester (Jack Warden) to get money for the salon and discovers that his beloved ex-girlfriend Jackie (Julie Christie) is now Lester's mistress. Lester asks George to escort Jackie to a banquet for Nixon supporters, leading to a series of climactic confrontations at the dinner and a Hollywood orgy that expose the conflicting demands of sex, love, and security among these terminally narcissistic L.A. denizens. As Nixon's victory speech drones in the background the following day and Paul Simon's mournful '60s music plays on the soundtrack, George's free-wheeling world collapses around him for reasons that he can barely begin to comprehend. Produced and co-written (with Chinatown scribe Robert Towne) by its star Warren Beatty, Shampoo became Beatty's second critical and popular success as a producer after Bonnie and Clyde, and it bolstered Hal Ashby's track record as director. Shampoo earned Grant an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, as well as a Supporting Actor nomination for Warden and Beatty's first nomination as writer. With Nixon's 1974 Watergate disgrace adding an extra edge to the humor for 1975 audiences, this tragic bedroom farce became one of the highest-grossing films in Columbia Pictures' history at the time. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

This softcore porn sex comedy follows the exploits of greasy spoon waitress Alice Goodbody (Sharon Kelly) as she attempts to sleep her way to stardom in an encounter with the cast and crew of a rock-musical production of Julius Caesar. Every one of the individuals she encounters has some outstanding characteristic, such as germ-phobia, or neo-Nazism. Many of the characters' names indicate their roles, i.e., Myron Mittelman (Daniel Kauffman) as an agent, etc. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Sharon Kelly, best known to adult-film viewers as "Colleen Brennan," is the only bright spot in this sluggish exploitation film from director Bethel G. Buckalew. Kelly plays "Dirty Sally," a pirate-radio DJ whose mobile broadcasts center around the sounds of herself having sex in her van or talking dirty to her listeners. Subplots focus on a comic-relief sheriff, who makes his idiotic sidekick Sgt. Dimwiddle shine his shoes and give him massages. Dimwiddle also picks his nose and eats what he finds, which is about as funny as this film ever gets. Most of it is softcore bump-and-grind, which sometimes crosses the line into more explicit territory. Actually, it also crosses the line into nausea, since the male cast members tend to be fat hairy slobs with grubby beards and huge rear ends, while most of the females have large, visible Cesarean scars. Slow-moving, unerotic, and stupid, this is a major disappointment from a director who usually manages to entertain and titillate in equal measure. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
