High Octane 9 Studio: Hustler Director: Patrick Handsome Cast: Julia, Maria, Teresa (Nikki Montana), Antonia, Betty, Silvia, Gary, other guys Running time: 1hr 43mins Video Format: NTSC / All regions Audio Format: Dolby 2.0 As Hustler tries to bill High Octane as some kind of porno film noir series (which it may well be in other editions, I don't know) I expected to have to write about the story as well as the sex. But seeing as director Patrick Handsome just lets the plot about the kidnap of a businessman's wife sink without trace amid the gaggle of gorgeous girls, so I shall do likewise in the review.

High Octane 9 directed by Patrick Handsome approx. run time: 100 min. DVD released: 10/29/2002 The High Octane series is supposed to be plot based film noir centered around themes of danger - much like Kovi's features for Private - but, to be honest, I'm not sure why Patrick Handsome bothers. The plot for this video is so thin I was tempted to give it an "n/a" rating. Not that it matters one bit. All but the most hardcore feature-lovers and raincoaters should be able to find a sufficient number of "redeemable qualities" to enjoy this title - five, to be exact. Typically, your average porn release might showcase somewhere between four to six women, of which one, two or maybe even three might be good looking and the rest only so-so, perhaps worse (varying of course by personal tastes). But have you ever watched a video in which you found every single girl attractive? neither have I ... it would be a gross understatement to call the women in High Octane 9 merely "attractive." Each and every one is a gorgeous, model quality Euro-babe.
