"Bad" is probably the weakest John Leslie movie I have seen. Even weak John Leslie is usually better than 90 of the usual porn, but this movie is a true disappointment and deserves it's title. Still I have to say that weak John Leslie films are ten times better than weak Paul Thomas movies. One of the problems of this DVD is that it is so edited down. IAFD lists the original as 82 minutes and the DVD version runs 67. It is obvious that plot elements are missing and at times the movie makes little sense, unless you read reviews of the original VHS tape. The plot concerns a girl named Pat (Iiesha), who is sent to the Attitude Adjustment Center by her parents (Lauren Hall and Jamie Gillis). It is there that she will be under the control of Dr. Deeeeeep (not sure how many E's there are, but you get the point), played by Joey Silvera. Marc Wallice, Tom Byron, Peter North, and others play patients. Supposedly, Wallice convinces Dr. Deeeeeep to hypnotize Pat and then has his way with her.

Director: John Leslie Screenwriter: Dominic Ruth Director of Photography: George Wally Runtime: 66 min. Format: Video Cast: Iesha, Tom Byron, Ashlyn Gere, Madison, Marc Wallace, Peter North, Lauren Hall, Joey Silvera, Rayne, Michelle Monroe, T.T. Boy, Randy Spears, Jamie Gillis (nonsex) Finally someone has made a porno and taken the time to slap on the appropriate title. John Leslie's Bad is indeed bad. Not bad in the Michael Jackson 'it's good to be bad' way but bad as in I think I'll throw it out with an empty shampoo bottle, lint from my pocket, and other trash. Congratulations to Mr. Leslie for not misleading the porn buying public. The same praise cannot be given to VCA regarding the cover art, however, and bonus points go to anyone who can find the girls on the box in the video. This 'classic' was shot on video and released in 1991, well past the golden age of porn.

Running Time: 66 min. Production Date: 1990 Director: John Leslie Cast: Iesha, Ashlyn Gere, Madison, Lauren Hall, Rayne, Michelle Monroe, Tom Byron, Joey Silvera, Peter North, T. T. Boy, Marc Wallice, Randy Spears, and Jamie Gillis Initial Expectations: I remember watching this when it first came out for two reasons - Ashlyn Gere and Madison. I dont remember much of anything about the movie, but my motivations for seeing it havent changed. Initial Reaction: The sex is good but everything feels very short. Who Should Watch It : Fans of Ashlyn Gere and Madison, people with short attention spans. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who likes long drawn out scenes. Audio /Video Quality: Bad looks and sounds every bit as good if not better than it originally did if memory serves. Both are very clear, looking and sounding better than many of todays features. Music: There isnt music for every scene but when there is its the typical porno music from the early nineties.
