Pandora (Wicked) Review

Running Time: 81 min.

Production Date: 4 / 28 / 1998

Director: Jim Enright

Cast: Johnni Black, Temptress, Chloe, Corrina Ann, Kitten, Mandi Frost, Syren, Jonathan Morgan, Steve Hatcher, Mr. Marcus, Tony Tedeschi, and Vince Voyeur

Initial Expectations: Jim Enright has made some great features for Wicked in the past. I’m hoping this is another one of them.

Initial Reaction: It has a few minor problems, but overall is a hot fuck flick.

Who Should Watch It : Couples wanting a simple and fairly fun porno

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a lot of extremely artistic or nasty sex

Audio /Video Quality: The feature shows some definite signs of age, but isn’t too bad. The audio is pretty well balanced, but is a bit on the soft side. It’s often a bit hollow or feels like the microphones were a bit far away. There’s also a little noticeable dubbing, but most of the feature synchs very well. The video has a little grain, but is nicely lit and even throughout the screen.

Music: The music is pretty typical porn music, although it has a bit more of a rock style to it. It’s often a bit on the loud side, but not so much as to detract from the scene.

Disc Problems: I had some occasional problems playing this DVD on my DVD-ROM, but they were inconsistent so I can’t say that they happened at any specific spot.

Menus: The menus are simple and kinda cheesy. The main menu has a little animation and the chapter menu lets you choose a scene based on a small clip of the scene and a chapter number.

The Feature: When Johnni Black inherits a large house with a larger lien on it, she does what anybody else would do. First she bets the lawyer that she can come up with the money in the short time she has, and then she turns it into a brothel to do it. She also adds a little magic to the mix, fulfilling peoples fantasies and making sure they pass the good work along.

Tony Tedeschi starts things out with Johnni Black after making a bet with her. They magically go from kissing to Tony tonguing Johnni’s pussy and ass when she vocalizes her approval. Johnni returns the favor by giving Tony a nice oral warmup before getting back on her back for him to fuck her pussy. She rolls over to let Tony fuck her ass from behind before he sprays his joy juice across her face and missing it almost completely. It’s a pretty hot scene, with almost all credit going to Johnni. She almost overdid things slightly, but Tony seemed fairly mechanical, so it balanced things out pretty well.

Temptress explores her body a bit as Jonathan Morgan watches and then licks her pussy. Temptress gives him the proper oral thank you before letting him fuck her from behind. Temptress also lets Jonathan fuck her missionary style before decorating her perfect tits. It’s a hot scene that shows why Temptress ended up with a contract from Wicked.

Chloe takes on Mr. Marcus with the help of extremely cute Mandi Frost next. Mandi plays with herself and watches as Chloe warms Marcus up orally to start the scene. They work their way around warming each other up, and occasionally taking a break to watch and masturbate. Marcus takes the first poke at Chloe as Mandi watches and diddles herself, and then moves over to give Mandi a deeply religious missionary experience. Afterwards, Marcus gives both girls a hosedown of liquid love as they do their best baby bird impression. It’s an extremely hot scene with great chemistry. My only complaint about it is that it didn’t last nearly long enough. Seeing each girl take it in only one position each was a bit disappointing.

Vince Voyeur stops by to check out what Pandora has to offer next, and soon finds himself with Kitten, an average looking black chick with a few tattoos and quite a few piercings. She gives him some immediate attention from her mouth and pierced tongue before letting him spear her pierced pussy from behind. She rolls over for him to keep fucking her, which is really kinda too bad as she appears to have a problem with shaving. No, it’s not that she does it too much or doesn’t, it’s that her entire pelvic region looked spotted from the job she did. Finally, Vince pile drivers Kitten’s pussy before spreading his seed around her ass. It’s a pretty good scene with nice energy, but the chemistry lacked a bit.

Syren explores her desires with the help of Corrina Ann, a cute brunette who reminded me a bit of Gina Ryder next. They start out giving each other a taste test. Syren keeps a nice smile on her face as she tongues Corrina’s twat, and it never leaves as Corrina returns the favor for Syren’s bald beaver. After making sure they’re juicy enough, the girls share a couple dildos and finish things up with a bit of kissing. It’s another hot scene with nice energy, although every now and then I had a feeling that Corrina wasn’t that into it. They were very short feelings, but enough that the scene felt slightly off to me.

Finally, Steve Hatcher takes on Johnni Black. She starts out sucking his schlong and then sheaths his sword before climbing on it for what’s amazingly the first reverse cowgirl of the entire movie. They move on with a bit of doggie before finishing things up with Johnni taking a decent pop in her mouth. It’s a good scene, but not quite as hot as Johnni’s opener.

Pandora is a surprisingly simple porno that does just what it’s supposed to. It gives you several straight ahead sex scenes which have a hint of fun in them, as well as being about fulfilling fantasies. It never tries to be any great masterpiece of porn, and because of it, works better than the ones that do everything they can to impress you. Pandora feels more straight ahead, showing you what it is rather than what it could be or what it wants to be, and because of it, ends up entertaining and hot. Johnni Black does a good job throughout the movie, showing a little acting ability as well as looking like one heck of a hot fuck. The rest of the cast also does a good job, but that doesn’t mean Pandora is free of faults. Almost every scene, and especially the first three, felt short and like it could have easily added another position. Despite this, Pandora is a fun fuck flick that’s worth at least renting.

Themes: Straight, rimming (male > female), anal, masturbation, spanking, inter-racial, group, lesbian, and toys

Raincoat Factor: High

Overall: Most Wicked DVDs can be currently found online for between $21 and $28 and with a lot of stores offering them for around $25. This seems a bit high for what you get, but fans of Johnni Black will probably still be happy with it. There isn’t much plot, but the sex is pretty good. The transfer is also pretty good for the age, but there isn’t much beyond the standard extras.

Note to Wicked: It’s great to see you bringing out some of your older titles on DVD, but it would be nice if you could get their price down a bit.
