Reviewed by astroknight  on  12/27/2003

The Little Details

Running Time: 82 min.

Production Date: 8 / 16 / 1995

Director: Jim Enright

Cast: Nici Sterling, Kylie Ireland, Jenna Jameson, Kim Kitaine, Rebecca Lord, Peter North, Alex Sanders, and Steven St. Croix

The Short Story

Initial Expectations: With a cast like this, how could I not have high expectations?

Initial Reaction: Skip it.

Who Should Watch It : Extreme fans of Nici Sterling

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for the typically well done Wicked movie

The Technical Stuff

Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced. The video, however, lacks a little. It’s fairly clear, but the entire movie is a bit dark. Some areas are darker than others, and even make it next to impossible to tell what’s going on. There’s a little grain to the picture, but it’s even and doesn’t seem that bad for how old the feature is.

Music: The music is pretty typical porno music, and is nicely balanced with the rest of the audio.

False Advertising: The cover claims the DVD contains a behind the scenes photo gallery, but I couldn’t find one anywhere on the DVD.

Menus: The menus are pretty good. The main menu is decently animated and gives an okay first impression. The chapter menu lets you choose a scene based on a small clip of each scene and a chapter number.

The Feature

When Nici Sterling and Peter North accept a visit to Steven St. Croix’s house, she finds her sexual fantasies coming true. Where ever she goes in the house she finds sexual acts occurring in front of her. Although she says she wants to leave, she never seems to be able to pull herself away from the house.

Scene 1 - Rebecca Lord and Alex Sanders

Alex Sanders starts things out with Rebecca Lord. Rebecca sits back on a piano and lets Alex eat her out before reciprocating with some nice head. Alex shows Rebecca he’s ready by fucking her from behind while thumbing her ass. Alex also gives it to Rebecca missionary style before decorating her tits with his guy goo.

This scene couldn’t even keep my interest. It’s extremely dark to the point that much of the time I couldn’t even tell what was happening. The camera work didn’t help anything either, as it often got so close that you couldn’t even see Rebecca’s face when she was sucking Alex’ cock! There looks to be some decent chemistry and energy between Alex and Rebecca, but everything about the scene seems to hold it back.

Scene 2 - Jenna Jameson and Nici Sterling

After Kylie Ireland shows up and masturbates for her for a few moments, Nici Sterling finds Jenna Jameson in another room. Nici finds herself in two places at the same time, and watches as Jenna eats and fingers her. Nici tongues Jenna’s kitty in return before working on it with a clear dildo. Finally, Nici sixty-nines Jenna so she can get fucked with a dildo while giving Jenna a bit more oral love before they finish things with a kiss.

This is a pretty good scene. There’s nice chemistry between Jenna and Nici, and they keep things moving nicely. The camera work lacks a little at times, but Jenna and Nici were hot enough together that I never lost interest.

Scene 3 - Rebecca Lord and Peter North

Peter North and Rebecca Lord get it on in the third scene after he jerks off for her. Rebecca comes over and lets her mouth and hand take over for Peter’s hand before he reciprocates orally. Rebecca lays back for Peter to fuck her missionary style before riding him cowgirl style. Finally, Rebecca hops off to take Peter’s potent prick pop on her tits.

This is another slightly below average scene. Once again, Rebecca and Peter seem to be into each other pretty well, but the camera work royally screws things up. It gets so close that I think you could count the hairs on Rebecca’s ass, and rarely takes the time to back up and really look at how gorgeous Rebecca is as a whole.

Scene 4 - Kim Kataine and Steven St. Croix

Kim Kataine and Steven St. Croix get it on in the penultimate scene. They go directly to Steve fucking Kim missionary style without any kind of warmup for either of them while Nici watches and diddles herself. Steven gives it to Kim from behind before letting her ride him reverse cowgirl style. She lets Steven give it to her ass from behind before finally taking Steven’s guy goo on her tongue.

This is another near waste of a scene. Steven and Kim have okay chemistry and energy, but the camera work is possibly at its worst here. The only time you see Kim’s ass getting penetrated is in an extreme close-up, so you never see her face. This makes me doubt that Kim even took it in the ass, and made the scene next to worthless to me.

Scene 5 - Kylie Ireland, Nici Sterling, and Peter North

Kylie Ireland reappears to masturbate for Nici. Nici joins in with her, and although they talk dirty to each other, they never touch each other. Later, Kylie returns one last time to finish things up with Nici and Peter North. The girls start off eagerly working each other over before Nici takes Peter’s cock in her mouth while Kylie eats her out. They move around so Kylie can be in the middle before Nici moves up to ride Peter cowgirl style. Nici lets Peter fuck Kylie from behind while they sixty-nine before Peter reams Nici’s ass while Kylie eats her pussy. Finally, Peter pulls out of Nici’s ass and gives Kylie a nice facial before the girls finish things up with a kiss.

This is an okay scene, which is really too bad. This is one of those scenes that felt like it should have been a complete ball drainer, and instead I felt half bored. I have a feelings that some of this might have been a kind of Pavlovian response after the rest fo the movie, but I never found it too hard to look away either. There’s some nice chemistry in the scene, it just couldn’t hold my interest that well with how it was filmed.

The F Zone is a dud of a Wicked movie. The plot is okay, but never seems to take the movie as far as it might, or even up to an average potential for it. The bigger problem, however, is the sex. Every scene is a disappointment, mostly due to the camera work. It focuses on extreme close-ups to the point that you might forget who’s in the scene and is so dark that you can’t even see most of some scenes. I don’t know how many times I used the fast forward button here, and I was afraid that if I didn’t I’d lose my grip on consciousness. It’s really too bad because you can tell that the performers are getting into each other pretty well in the scenes. There’s good chemistry and energy, it’s just captured so poorly that it all goes to waste. The F Zone is a dud of a movie that’s best skipped.

The Extra Stuff

The photo gallery lasts about three and a quarter minutes with six seconds per okay looking snapshot or full screen photo. Two minute star galleries are included for Nici Sterling, Jenna Jameson, Kim Kataine, Kylie Ireland, and Rebecca Lord. Bios with a few photos of the start, a little personal information, and a link to the star’s scene are included for Nici Sterling, Jenna Jamerson, Kylie Ireland, Rebecca Lord, and Alex Sanders. Trailers are included for The Bride of Double Feature, Crazed, Double Feature!, Dream Quest, Flashpoint, Heartache, Hell on Heels, The Kissing Game, Knockout, Pornogothic, Satyr, Sex Safari, Spellbound, Vengeance, and Working Girl. There’s also a list of AVN and Wicked DVD winners and nominations, weblinks, the Wicked Casino, promotional materials, a company profile, and a commercial for the Free Speech Coalition.

The Down -n- Dirty Sex Stuff

Themes: Straight, masturbation, lesbian, anal, toys, and group

Raincoat Factor: Medium

The Bottom Line:

Currently, many of Wicked’s DVDs can be found online for between $15 and $30 with many stores offering them for around $21. Rent this one before you buy it. The movie seems uninspired, the technical aspects are lacking due to an extremely dark picture, and there isn’t anything special for extras. This one is a major disappointment for a Wicked release with this cast!

Note to Wicked: Thank you for bringing this one out at a lower price!
