Ring Of Desire (Gourmet) review summaries:
fu_q's
When a desperate girl on the street sells Kevin James a ring that she stole from her father, his (...sexual...) luck changes...and so does everyone else's who comes into possession of the bejeweled band. Such is the case in "Ring of Desire", a good, 1981 release from Peter Balakoff and Gourmet Video. Indeed, the ring finds itself passed around the various corners--and between the assorted characters--of Hollywood, from lawyers to actresses to writers to prostitutes and so on, and whoever owns it at the time finds him- or herself quite lucky (...as in "getting lucky"...). With a clever, though simple plot, good acting, a number of shorter sex scenes, and a strong cast, this little fuck-flick from yesteryear is actually a lot of fun and worthy of a watch...particularly for fans of the classics.

Pink Lagoon, The review summaries:
fu_q's
Having secured an acquittal for their wrongly-convicted, island hero friend of the prior film, Jerry Butler, the lovely, once-castaway ladies return to bring their guy back home. Tagging along with them this time, however, is an "adventurer" and photographer, Jay Serling, who's convinced that he's found the way to a lost, Tongan treasure of the past. Of course, this means that the entire group ends up on a hunt for the fortune of yore, which, ultimately brings them into contact with ridiculous, sex-hungry "natives" on another island...who may or may not be all that they seem. Such is the case in "The Pink Lagoon", the sequel to "Surrender in Paradise" and a very good, 1984 release from Collector's Video and the directing duo of Svetlana and David I. Frazer.

Pink Lagoon is a sequel to Surrender in Paradise. Do not worry if you did not see the original. While the sequel is a good continuation it stands on its own and starts off by giving you enough info on the first to catch you up to speed. The story of the two films is fairly simple a group of models are shipwrecked on a deserted island or so they think. Soon they find out that Arthur (Jerry Butler) who escaped from prison after being wrongly convicted of murdering his wife is also on the island. At the end of Surrender in Paradise when a ship spotted them on the island the girls had to leave Arthur since if he returns he will be sent back to prison. Pink Lagoon starts off a few years later. The girls return with a film crew to scout the islands and give Arthur some good news. Tammy (Ginger Lynn) and two others who return to the island embrace with Arthur and then tell him that he is a free man. The murderer was found and Arthur was pardoned. A celebration ensues and he gives all 3 a good working over (he has been stranded alone for quite a while). [read the full review]

Panty Raid (VCX) review summaries:
fu_q's
Reeling from a recent breakup, Jerry Butler isn't looking for love, or even lust, when he takes a quick vacation to Hawaii with his horndog brother, Jay Serling. Instead, he just wants to be left alone with his own ponderings and ruminations. Encouraged by his brother, however, and also both enveloped by the tropical paradise and having met a stunning, dark-tressed, young woman whom he saves from drowning, he ultimately ends up finding both. Such is the case in "Panty Raid", a very good, 1984 release from VCX, Svetlana, and David I. Frazer. [read the full review]

Cafe Flesh (VCA) review summaries:
fu_q's
In a post-nuclear fallout world, what's left of humanity finds itself segregated into two camps--the rare "positives", who are still able to perform sexually, and the "negatives", who fall physically ill if they attempt to partake in even the slightest intimacy. Of course, life isn't roses for either group, as the "positives" are impressed into performing in shady dive bars filled with leering, creepy "negatives", and the "negatives" find themselves desperately yearning for that which they can't attain. Such is the case in "Cafe Flesh", a classic, early-80's, punk-fueled flick from Rinse Dream and VCA. [read the full review]

Café Flesh has got to be, by far, the most bizarre adult film I have ever seen. Although the sex isn't very hot, the finished product is a very decent film. I would recommend renting it as most people will probably never want to see Café Flesh again after their first viewing. [read the full review]
