You know, if a sex scene isnt scorching it should at least look like fun. Free Ride has both: a fun scene with Asia Carrera and Steve Hatcher and a hot lesbian encounter featuring Dee and Mia Smiles. It also has three other scenes that arent particularly one or the other, but which arent any worse than average, either. So director Bud Lee hits .400 with this one, and thatll keep him in the majors. If you care, Free Ride is a ghost story about a woman blamed for defiling a rich familys son and forever afterward cursed to walk the same stretch of road until she should witness true love. Or something like that. It even makes a certain amount of sense up until that lesbian scene, when for some inexplicable but wonderful reason Asia Carrera, the ghost, suddenly turns into Mia Smiles. In any case, it all gets started when Randy Spears and Shaena Steele meet pretty Asia on a lonely backcountry road. The first scene, the fun one, is Asias explanation of how the curse came about. Steve Hatcher is the beloved son; Asia is the star.

Running Time: 89 min. Production Date: 2 / 5 / 2003 Director: Bud Lee Cast: Asia Carrera, Wendy Divine, Dee, Mia Smiles, Shaena Steele, Flick Shagwell, Steven St. Croix, Steve Hatcher, Eric Masterson, and Bud Lee in a non-sex role Initial Expectations: With this kind of female lineup, I cant help but have high expectations! Initial Reaction: Its a pretty stereotypical couples movie. Who Should Watch It : Fans of Asia Carrera Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting something other than the typical couples porno Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced, without any signs of background noises. This is really impressive because theres a fair amount of the movie thats shot outdoors. The video is very similar, and has a soft feel. Theres some very slight grain, but the movie is well lit and clear right out to the edges. Unfortunately, there are a couple spots where some of the equipment wanders into the cameras view, but they are very short spots that are easy to miss.
