Review:
A young woman’s single-minded quest to uncover the truth about a mother whom she has never known unwittingly leads her into the clutches of an elite sex club and its power-driven mastermind in “The New Behind the Green Door”, an exceptional flick from director Paul Thomas and Vivid Video. Indeed, under the weight of a shady, spendthrift boyfriend and her own personal obsessions, Brooklyn Lee finds her trust fund quickly evaporating…and with it her ability to support herself and survive. With her path set and betrayal and desperation on the horizon, she must make her choices—as difficult as they may be and regardless of where they may lead. Featuring a strong plot, extraordinary acting, authentic San Francisco settings, and a unique means of incorporating the original film of the early-1970’s, this production is simply one of the best adult features released in quite some time. Brooklyn Lee puts forth the acting performance of a lifetime, even rivaling those in the mainstream, and her sexual prowess is amply demonstrated. Indeed, if her work in “Voracious” put the crown upon her head, then consider this release its finest jewel. It is a fitting finish to a career all too short, yet supremely distinguished.

In terms of the sex, Scene One brings together Brooklyn Lee and her boyfriend, James Deen, for a Christmas morning romp that is both intense and impassioned. James’ present to Brooklyn is nothing other than a slim purple vibrator, and she seems content (enough) with it. Of course, the two need to give it…and one another…a test drive, and the action starts to roll. Things kick off on the couple’s sofa, with Brooklyn wearing nothing more than a flimsy white skirt. She pleasures herself with the vibrator as she imbibes James’ cock, but—before she’s able to cum—he drags her to the bed and throws her down upon it. There, the two pound it out upon the mattress in a forceful—and also unsettling—manner. James appears intent on not allowing Brooklyn to climax, and he demands to hear her fantasies. She then does the same of him. This sequence ends up being far from standard porno fare, as Brooklyn and James both audiblize their inner desires and also react to one another—often negatively—while fucking. The fantasies usher in well-placed cut-scenes and clips from the original “Behind the Green Door” with Marilyn Chambers and also from Scene Three of this film itself. Ultimately, James winds up being a selfish lover who’s unable to control his own orgasm (spurting out over her tummy, chest, and face), leaving Brooklyn wholly unsated and distinctly unhappy.

Scene Two pairs up a tipsy Dana Dearmond and Steven St. Croix after the two have slipped into a spacious backroom shower at his party. After some initial reservations on her part, Steven bends Dana to his sexual will by plying her with his fortune…showing that everyone has a price. An erotic romp featuring plenty of oral (throating), vaginal, and anal action ensues…with Dana taking all that St. Croix has to offer. The sequence transitions part-way through to a lavish bedroom and is ultimately capped off with a squirting pop all over Ms. Dearmond’s tummy and chest. This is some hot stuff. (It should be noted that this segment is inter-cut with a variety of plot-related party elements and also the beginning of the third scene.)

In Scene Three, James Deen encounters two blonde harlots, Ash Hollywood and Penny Pax, as they leave a restroom at St. Croix’s party. They’re both looking stunning in their form-fitting miniskirt outfits—Ash’s white and red and Penny’s blue—and they’re clearly the real-life embodiment of James’ wildest fantasies. Fortunately for him (…and not so much for Brooklyn…), the two trollops are looking for some fun themselves. As such, the wayward trio makes its way to a secluded study at the mansion, and the good times roll. Ash and Penny put on a brief girl-girl show for James atop a large desk in the room, and it isn’t long before he joins in. A steamy double-blowjob follows, with Ash ultimately jerking James off all over her face…and a bit on Penny’s, as well. Nice!

In Scene Four, Brooklyn Lee finds herself under the ravenous gaze of a trio of darker-hued gentlemen—Nat Turnher, Prince Yahshua, and Jon Jon—in the fitting room of an underground, elite sex party into which she has sneaked. Having been unwittingly subsumed into the goings-on at the event, she is nonetheless enticed by their presence. She drops to her knees and, with a wave of their hands above her face, they are all transported to the center of the main room, Brooklyn lying flat on a raised cushioned podium. Her sheer white lingerie and ivory snow skin contrast well with the skin tones of her studs, and it’s clear that she and her guys are the main attraction for the event. As her masked audience both watches and partakes in their own sexual delights, the gentlemen go to work on Brooklyn. A voracious oral, vaginal, and anal mini-gangbang unfolds, with Nat, Prince and Jon Jon passing her around and fully ravaging her. The tension is palpable, and the action intense. The guys briefly double-penetrate her, and Brooklyn is clearly a nymphomaniac at her best…taking in all that they can dish out. Part-way through, a cut finds the guys on swings suspended from the ceiling and facing Brooklyn. She immediately imbibes all three of their cocks, one after the other, until each ejaculates in her mouth…Wow! [It should be noted that during all of this, clips from the original “Behind the Green Door” play on a big screen in the room…and some sex in the audience takes place—Bailey Blue (boy-girl; b.j., vaginal, pop: pelvis, tummy, chest), Chanel Preston (boy-girl; b.j., vaginal, pop: pelvis), Chastity Lynn (self; anal dildo), and another young starlet (?; boy-girl; b.j.).]

Scene Five has the ample-bosomed Brandy Aniston showing up at guitarist Richie Calhoun’s hotel room door in a tight, cleavage-revealing outfit and ready for action. She’s been sent there by St. Croix as part of a payment to Richie for his services, and he’s more than happy to accept the tribute. Within moments, she drops out of her clothing, and the two are off. A sexy oral, vaginal, and anal romp follows, with a side helping of ass-to-mouth thrown in for good measure, and the sex comes to a close with a pop on Brandy’s tummy and chest. Steamy stuff.

Scene Six is a quickie in which a pawn shop owner, Herschel Savage, jerks off on Brooklyn Lee’s feet after tying her up for a slimy bondage shoot in the back of his shop. She’s agreed to do the whole thing for the money and finds herself quite disturbed after. Freaky.

In all, this is a stellar production from Paul Thomas and Vivid Video that could just as easily have been a mainstream release as an adult one. Brooklyn Lee puts forth the performance of a lifetime and clearly demonstrates her superior acting chops. If ever there were a way to close out a career in X, this is it. Bravo to all involved. It's unlikely that there will ever be another quite like Brooklyn Lee.
