Despite the violence and fear, nothing will prevent the witness from her day in court. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Exploitation king Fred Olen Ray was well entrenched in his "Erotic Thriller" phase (typified by films like Inner Sanctum) when he turned out this oddball mix of salacious schemes and demonic possession. When creatively blocked horror writer Howard (Ted Prior) buys an oversized jar containing a silly-looking pickled monster from a tiny shop in Chinatown, he quickly falls under the thing's supernatural influence. Not only can he churn out reams of manuscript pages like never before, he also becomes more sexually aggressive -- a change which troubles his reserved wife Peggy (statuesque Sandahl Bergman), particularly after the arrival of sexy blonde live-in secretary Carol (Shannon Tweed, whose presence had become ubiquitous in films of this kind). The plot thickens when we learn that Carol is also conspiring with her partner Murray (Frank Sivero), Howard's greedy agent, to steal his manuscript. Carol soon becomes the puppet of the thing in the jar as well, playing violent sexual games with the couple, terrorizing Peggy at every turn, and ultimately turning on Murray -- leading to a hyper-violent climax which has nearly every character blasting away at his/her co-conspirator with automatic weaponry. Despite the heftier financial backing of Columbia Home Video, this is still exploitation in the classic Ray tradition, filled with the usual bucketloads of nudity and kinky sex, and featuring cameos from such familiar B-movie faces as Ray Silva and Turhan Bey, as well as Kato Kaelin as a busboy in the restaurant scene with Bey. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

While the name might be confusing, The Firm 5-Day Abs promises noticeable results in ten days. The plan consists of five different daily stomach workouts. Viewers have responded well to this variance in exercise videos, with day four reputed to be the toughest. The instructors are helpful and work every part of the abdominals. The Firm works best in combination with a continual exercise routine. ~ Sarah Ing, All Movie Guide

Woody (Woody Harrelson) volunteers to be the clown at a children's party organized by Rebecca (Kirstie Alley) on behalf of her boss. But things go awry, and it is Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) who dons the big nose and bigger shoes. Speaking of clowns, there's no one clownier than Sam (Ted Danson) when he renews his relationship with a former lady friend -- and hits on the lady's daughter. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This exploitation film finds the aging stripper Harlow (Sandahl Bergman) taking on young protégé Joni (Kim Evenson) to peel off her clothes in the strip club called Kandyland. Bruce Baum adds much-needed comedy relief as the club comic Mad Dog. The film is an excuse to show attractive females in various stages of undress. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

Columbia Pictures spent as estimated $8 million dollars on this laughless sex comedy that crashes and burns before ever leaving the ground. Two bumbling boneheads who are kicked out of flying school decide to remain airborne by becoming stewardesses. Bathroom humor, sight gags, and the prerequisite nudity are the lowlights of this forgettable film. The only interest is the appearance of former Playboy bunny Yuliis Ruval. This dog makes Porky's seem like Shakespeare. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

This undistinguished sci-fi fantasy is set in a post-holocaust world where "She" (Sandahl Bergman) rules over one of several different tribes with weird and supernatural abilities. Some tribesmen are like lizards, they can grow back a limb after it is cut off -- or just a whole other clone of themselves. A leader named Godan (Gregory Snegoff) has glow-in-the-dark peepers that can raise his opponents right up off the ground. Unfortunately, the eyes do not always have it. They could not do the same for the script which has the action lurch along in disjointed episodes and leaves the balance of entertainment to the costumes and sets. Other versions of "She" preceded this effort by Avi Nesher. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
