The greatness continues (or something like that) in this sequel to the racy comedy Hollywood Hot Tubs. Crystal Landers (Jewel Shepard) and her mother Pamela (Remy O'Neill) are still running their successful hot tub business, and Pamela sends Crystal to night school so she can get a degree in business. Jason (Patrick Day), one of her classmates, has mastered the art of talking, dressing, and acting like a yuppie, and he volunteers to rid Crystal of some of her Valley Girl affectations so she can move ahead in the business world. Pamela finds her heart is stolen away by Prince Ahmet (Bart Braverman), an Arab who has made a killing in the oil business, while the Prince's chauffeur, Gary (David Tiefen) has his eyes on Crystal. But Gary likes Crystal just enough to warn her that the Prince isn't all he seems to be, and he has plans to take over their hot tub business. Hollywood Hot Tubs 2: Educating Crystal also features the unforgettable closing theme "Educating Crystal Rap," performed by the memorably named hip-hop outfit Whitey Got No Soul. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Danny Warren (Edward Albert) is a former minor-league shortstop who becomes a narc to uncover drug dealing in this situation comedy. Investigating at a high-school adult-education class, he falls for the tempting teacher Katherine, played by the exotic Barbara Carrera. Danny forgets the reward of $10,000 per arrest when he elects to continue his "education." He joins a colorful group of characters that includes ex-cons, illegal aliens, and brain-dead baby boomers who cause more trouble than their younger counterparts. Swimming classes and wine tasting serve as background for a series of comic catastrophes. Danny soon suspects Katherine's colleague Mrs. Grant (Susan Tyrell) of being in cahoots with the drug dealers, and Katherine and Mrs. Grant have a prolonged fight scene that is memorably funny. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Middle-aged family man Frank (Jim Karen) trains teenaged Freddy (Thom Matthews) for his new job at a medical supply warehouse. In an effort to impress and frighten his young charge, practical joker Frank reveals that the warehouse basement contains a cannister full of a mysterious chemical capable of bringing the dead back to life. It seems that the cannister fell off the back of an army truck during an accidental outbreak of zombiedom. Frank and Freddy unwittingly inhale the chemical and release it into the warehouse. Turning to the operator of a nearby crematorium for help in destroying the suddenly undead specimens that surround them, they unwittingly awaken the residents of a nearby cemetary just as Freddy's pals arrive to party amidst the headstones and wait for their friend's shift to end. Meanwhile, Col. Glover (Jonathan Terry) waits for the call that his missing chemical weapon has been unleashed. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

In this softcore sexploitation film by Paco Lara, Christina (Jewel Shepard) is the wealthy heiress to a publishing fortune, kidnapped by a variety of evil men or women who sexually use her as they wish and then pass her on to the next group, willingly or not. In-between the sex are some obviously fake martial arts battles between women, and a non-existent storyline which has Christina falling asleep at odd moments so dream sequences can be added to the pastiche. Parental guidance is in order. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
