Synopsis:
An all girl, all sex film with no plot and a brief set up for each scene.

Video/Audio:
Jenna's Built for Speed is presented in the 1.33:1, full screen, aspect ratio, which appears to be the film's original aspect. The picture is crisp and clear with no noticeable grain or artifacts. The color levels are perfect. Jenna's Built for Speed appears to have been originally shot on video and not on film.

The 2.0 Dolby Stereo English track is mostly music. There is very little dialog throughout the whole film. The little dialog that exists is at a very low volume and can be hard to hear over the music. The dialog appears to be in mono with the music in stereo. The music, mostly synthesized, fits the scenes that it is used in.

Cut Warning:
The first scene with Serenity and Shayla LaVeaux also had Jenna Jameson as a participant in the original release of the movie. Jenna Jameson has been completely edited out of the scene on this release.

Chapters/Time Code:
There are six chapters available for Jenna's Built for Speed from the main menu and eight chapters available in the film itself. Using the chapters from the menu or from inside the film, easy navigation through the film is possible. There is a time code for the film.

Special Features:
The Photo Gallery consists of 30 pictures from the film and lasts for about 2¼ minutes. Available trailers are for Flashpoint, The Bride of Double Feature, Crazed, Sex Safari, Satyr, and Hell on Heels. The Company Profile is a short text write-up about the success of Wicked Pictures. AVN Awards Winners and Nominations is a text piece that list the nominations and the winners for the AVN Awards for the years of 1994 through 2000. Audio Biographies shows some pictures, a video clip, a Wicked Pictures filmography and gives audio information on Jenna Jameson, Jill Kelly, Missy, Felicia, Shayla LaVeaux, and Serenity. The Behind the Scenes Photo Gallery consists of 13 pictures from the making of the film and lasts for about a minute.

Although when looking at the box Jenna's Built for Speed seems to have a huge amount of special features, when you actually go through them you find there really isn't much there. The only extras that have to do with the feature film are the Biographies and the two photo galleries. Most of the rest is nothing but promo material for Wicked Pictures. Overall, this is a rather weak set of special features.

DVD-ROM Special Features:
The DVD-ROM special features on Jenna's Built for Speed are the Wicked Casino and the Wicked Web Hyperlink. I don't have a DVD-ROM drive, so I can offer no further information on these features.

Review:
Jenna's Built for Speed sports nice looking cars and nice looking women. This all sex lesbian film has some great sex, but no plot. The series of scenes one after another with a little set up at the beginning can get repetitious though with nothing to hold them together.

The cars and the props used to go with the scenes are great. There are no sets used, some blue screen effects for a few scenes for a background. The blue screen used doesn't work well and there is a very noticeable problem with it in one scene where parts of the car got the image as well. The costumes used are good in some scenes and just outrageous in others.

There is some great camera work here which adds to the film. It keeps the scenes from getting too repetitious. The openings of some of the scenes are overly long, they don't add to the scene and for an all sex film adds too much pause between the action. The sex is nice and stylized but there is nothing too nasty which makes for a rather tame film.

The Money Shot:
Those who like all girl all sex films, won't be disappointed by Jenna's Built for Speed. Those who like a plot with their films will probably find this film to be a let down. As for video quality it doesn't get much better than this. If it sounds good, it's worth either renting or buying.
