Ginger Lynn Allen Movies
Cult movie starlet Ginger Lynn Allen endured a childhood marred by dysfunction, physical abuse, and parental abandonment, eventually to become the most popular adult film entertainer of the early '80s.Born in Rockford, IL, and raised by her paternal grandparents after age 12, Allen moved with them to California shortly after graduating from high school. In 1983 she auditioned for a modeling agency and received an offer to pose nude for Penthouse magazine the same day. Allen loved the attention and within a few months began appearing in pornographic films, many of which were star vehicles for the instantly popular young seductress (who was known in the business at the time as Ginger Lynn). Her films include New Wave Hookers, Ginger's Sex Asylum, and Supergirls Do General Hospital, and many have retained their popularity with adult video connoisseurs. In a two-year period she performed in 69 adult films, working with such pornographic notables as Traci Lords, John Holmes, and director Gregory Hippolyte. She quit the adult film business in 1986, hoping to break into mainstream acting and subsequently found roles in low-budget, straight-to-video action and comedy features like Wild Man and the Vice Academy series. The actress weathered legal difficulties in 1991, when she was convicted of filing a false tax return and spent some time in a drug rehabilitation center. During this period she also gained tabloid notoriety when she began dating actor Charlie Sheen, whom she met while working on Young Guns 2. Allen's career continued through the rest of the decade, with appearances on NYPD Blue, the children's television program Superforce, the Wing Commander III CD-ROM game, and a series of aerobic workout videos. In 1999, Allen returned to pornographic films with Torn and New Wave Hookers 6, but did not stop working toward success as a mainstream actress. She appeared in the Hollywood spoof The Independent and gave an intense portrayal of an aging stripper struggling to raise her child in the "Turn the Page" video for heavy metal band Metallica. ~ Fred Beldin, Rovi

Romeo and Juliet was updated to contemporary Beverly Hills in this typically stylish Jerry Bruckheimer TV series. This time around, Juliet was Jewel Goldman (Olivia Wilde), the stunning teenage daughter of Larry Goldman (Ron Silver), a successful producer of steamy adult films. As for Romeo, he was Adam Roane (D.J. Cotrona), the hot-hunk son of district attorney Michael Roame (Kevin Anderson), a staunch anti-porn crusader. Yes, the elder Goldman and Roame were longtime enemies. Yes, both men forbade their children from seeing one another. And yes, Jewel and Adam managed to sneak in a few torrid balcony scenes -- though not always on the balcony. Created by Jim Leonard, Skin made its FOX network bow on October 20, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Imaginary Z-grade 1960s exploitation film producer Morty Fineman (Jerry Stiller), who was responsible for such faux-works as Buddy Cops V: Hayseed and Toughnut, sci-fi blaxploitation flick The Foxy Chocolate Robot, and, of course, Heil Titler , is the focus for this mockumentary co-written and directed by Stephen Kessler). While Fineman struggles to make his latest effort, Ms. Kevorkian, about a gun-toting babe who's passionate about assisted-suicide, the bank wants to foreclose on his hallowed studio and sell his film archive for $8 a pound. In absolute desperation, he reaches out to his estranged daughter Paloma (Janeane Garofalo), who grudgingly agrees to be the president of his production company in spite of numerous moral qualms. Along the way, the film features interviews with such real-life luminaries as Peter Bogdanovich, Roger Corman, and blaxploitation stalwart Fred Williamson, that paints a picture of a relentlessly gung-ho producer whose work somehow manages to rise above nothing budgets and lackluster talent. They also highlight Fineman's penchant for hitting on his leading ladies; Karen Black recalled one incident by noting, "It helped to be drunk." This film was screened at the 2000 South By Southwest Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

In this strange but ambitious gender-bending road movie, Elizabeth (Elizabeth Saltarrelli) and Leslie (Ginger Lynn Allen) are bisexual lovers who also have other relationships. To Leslie's chagrin, Elizabeth can't keep herself from running off with a good-looking guy every once in a while, but Leslie is the one with real problems. Her husband Steve (Chris Mulkey) is a brutal thug who beats her, treats her like dirt, and whose idea of sex would better suit most people's idea of rape. Leslie claims that she loves Steve and is too dependent on him to leave him. When Steve discovers that Leslie is involved with Elizabeth, he forces her to break off her affair, but Elizabeth decides that Leslie needs to get away from Steve, not her. Enlisting the help of her friend Cliff (Chris Denton), who has been on the verge of suicide since he discovered his wife is cheating on him, Elizabeth kidnaps Leslie and takes her to a combination dude ranch, deprogramming center, and rehab facility run by Carla (Karen Black), where they hope to wean Leslie away from Steve and get her on a healthier path with Elizabeth. This film was Ginger Lynn Allen's bid for mainstream respectability after a stint in adult films and a long string of exploitation movies. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Russell's avowed purpose with Whore was to avoid the glamorous depiction of prostitution common to such slick Hollywood products as Pretty Woman. As played by Theresa Russell (no relation to Ken), the eponymous character lives a hellish existence. Relating her story directly to the camera, Russell introduces us to her no-good former husband (Jason Saucier), her brutish pimp (Benjamin Mouton), and the kinkiest of her "johns." Her one true friend, a bag man named Rasta (Antonio Fargas), also saves her life -- but not her soul. The film exists in three versions: an 82-minute R cut, an 82-minute NC-17 cut, and the 92-minute European version, which sometimes carries a rating, sometimes merely a disclaimer. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Only three of the original five "young guns" -- Billy the Kid (Emilio Estevez), Jose Chavez y Chavez (Lou Diamond Phillips), and Doc Scurlock (Kiefer Sutherland) -- return in Young Guns II, which is the story of Billy the Kid and his race to safety in Old Mexico while being trailed by a group of government agents led by Pat Garrett (William Petersen). Along the way, Billy's crew gains three new recruits: Arkansas Dave Rudabaugh (Christian Slater), Tom O'Folliard (Balthazar Getty), and Hendry French (Alan Ruck). Though the film suffers from an uneven script, many performances -- particularly Slater's -- are surprisingly strong, and the movie looks great.

Ginger Lynn Allen and Linnea Quigley reprise their roles as Holly and Didi from the first Vice Academy film, this time chronicling their adventures after finally joining the police force. The two new recruits argue ceaselessly over who is the better officer, though in reality they both make the same dumb mistakes and are equally in hot water after accidentally injuring fellow cop Petrolino (Scott Layne). Demoted to switchboard duty, the girls get another chance to prove their worth when the evil supervillainess Spanish Fly (Toni Alessandrini) threatens to poison the city's water supply with a dangerous aphrodisiac. Since her hideout is rumored to be the Vicerama Strip Club, Holly and Didi are sent there to get jobs and search for clues. Unfortunately, the only position to be filled is bookkeeper, so when the girls arrive in skimpy outfits and proposition the boss, they fail to make the right impression. Luckily, the police force has a new secret weapon that will render police women obsolete: Bimbocop (Teagan Clive), an Amazonian robot who is "half woman, half machine, and all trash!" Bimbocop is assigned to help Holly and Didi save the city from Spanish Fly once and for all. However, this amazing contraption has four settings (Work, Rampage, Overload, and Worthless) and when her controls are tampered with, nothing works out according to plan. ~ Fred Beldin, Rovi

Leo Blockman (Scott Baker) was an obnoxious male-chauvinist pig, the sort of man who would call out sexually suggestive remarks to women on the street. After he is chased into the Hudson river by one of the irate women he has insulted, and drowns, he comes out changed. At first he doesn't realize it and is as foul-mouthed and obnoxious as ever, but he's become a good looking woman, Cleo (Jane Hamilton. His problems are compounded when he/she is hit on by the same sort of lowlifes that he once was. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Although this bloody, relentlessly weird South African production purports to be a modern-day treatment of the works of Edgar Allan Poe (most promotional materials list the author's name above the title), it actually bears so little relation to Poe's writing that it makes Roger Corman's Poe "adaptations" seem meticulously loyal by comparison. The story involves a young psychologist whose arrival at the creepy Ravenscroft Institute for troubled girls is followed by the disappearance of several students. Tormented by a series of grotesque nightmares involving a deranged killer, the heroine eventually learns of the bizarre goings-on within the school's hallowed halls. Some oddball touches and outlandish performances from Robert Vaughn and Donald Pleasence (in a bad wig) make this film just campy enough to be entertaining. Alert viewers can spot John Carradine in his final role. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

The bottom of the direct-to-video barrel is full of nigh-unwatchable horror anthologies like this one, which features a pair of uninspiring stories -- about a serial killer and a suicidal clown -- made for peanuts with somebody's old camcorder. As tolerant as genre fans tend to be with regard to low-budget horror, good conscience prevents any recommendation for even the most indulgent of horror fans. Ginger Lynn completists may want to give it a look on bargain rental night anyway, as the erstwhile porn queen introduces the stories. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Roger Corman's production company does it again with this fast-paced, funny send-up of grade "B" movie-making. Like the first Hollywood Boulevard, this story is set at the kitschiest production company in Tinsel Town, Miracle Pictures. The trouble begins during the filming of Barbarian Goddesses of the Amazon It seems someone has been bumping off the studio's buxom starlets. Poor studio head Max Miranda is frantic to find new ones. When toothsome Candy Chandler slinks in, someone mistakes her for an extra and rushes her into the set for Barbarian, where Max becomes instantly enamored and begins promising her that she will be the studio's brightest young star, something that doesn't set well with jealous diva Mary Randolph. Corman fans will again be delighted by the many clips from earlier New World films and by the many inside jokes. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
