Gwen cries before her dead lover. The young model commits suicide after witnessing her fiancé brutally murdered by a gang of criminals.

Scene 1: Sydnee Steele and a guy (condom used)

Sydnee Steele is a brunette with a harsh looking face and large surgically enhanced breasts. She wears a fishnet body hugger until the guy undresses her. He goes for her pussy and starts licking it frantically. Sydnee has a pleasant moaning voice and seems to enjoy the pussy licking from the guy. After this, the guy receives a blowjob from Sydnee. After a very, very brief blowjob, he fucks her pussy doggy style. Whoa! This lady likes it rough since the guy spanks her. After this, he fucks her missionary style with her left leg on his shoulder. Sydnee seems to like the reverse cowboy position. She says, "Oh fuck." She is a feisty one. He comes while fucking her in this position. The cum dribbles over his hand until Sydnee cleans his dick up with her mouth.

Scene 2: Randi Storm, Elizabeth X, and Dragon boss

Two girls enter the bed of the gang leader. One girl is a blond who looks a little chunky while the other is a brunette with a nice body and medium size breasts. He spanks the blonde haired girl. After the spanking, she receives some oral treatment from the brunette. The blonde haired girl, Randi Storm, has great oral talents since she deep throats and still has enough room to stick her tongue out. After fucking the brunette, he pulls his dick out and is treat to some head from Randi. Right after the brunette dismounts, Randi again sucks his dick. It is time for Randi to ride the pony reverse cowboy style. The guy seems to like the brunette since he doggy fucks her while she gives head to Randi. However, the brunette will not do the nasty anal. He penetrates Randi in the ass with long thrusts while he numbs her pussy with his thumb. After several thrusts, he unloads onto her face. He catches her right eye as well as her nose. Randi does not open her eyes. 

The girl seems to be a sex robot since the boss's girlfriend, Elizabeth X, says that they do not make them like they used to.

Sydnee retells the account of the Phoenix rising. After fucking the guy from scene one, Sydnee witnesses the Phoenix. The guy tries to kill Phoenix (Gwen) but she cannot die. Sydnee said, "She sliced him into sandwich meat." In Sydnee's account, Phoenix refreshes the killer's memory. Gwen stabs him with a knife. Sydnee is Phoenix's messenger to tell the boss that "Phoenix is back in town." He slices her head with a sword. Elizabeth X says, "It looks like T-top gives good head after all."

Scene 3: Gwen and a guy

Gwen is in a model shoot. She has some fine assets as the viewer sees her as a lively model before the tragic occurrence. The photographer was her boyfriend. After the shoot, they make love. Gwen's tits perk up as he touches her body in a sensual manner. Then, Gwen goes down on his dick. She is a master cocksucker. After the good head, he reciprocates by going down on her. Wow! Gwen is a screamer! She mounts the boyfriend and gets fucked cowboy style. She seems to REALLY enjoy it. Then, he fucks her reverse cowboy style. Finally he fucks her doggy style until he cums on her nice face. Cum lands on her right cheek and throat area. Great scene!

Phoenix recalls this sexual moment. Hope (Gloria Leonard) converses with Phoenix. There is some philosophical underpinnings with their talk about death.

Love is a Crime That Requires an Accomplice.

Phoenix says, "I stare down at the abyss. I see my own reflection." She says that this vengeance is overtaking her. 

Scene 4: Julie Meadows and a guy.

Julie Meadows is half-Asian with blonde hair. The gang member commands her to get down her knees to suck his cock. He returns the favor by licking her pussy. He violently thrusts his cock into her pussy doggy style. After this brief position, they initiate the reverse cowboy position. Julie is a moaner but not as good as Gwen. He returns to the doggy style and fucks her wildly until he cums on her face. Specifically, his large load lands on her right cheek and eye. There is some post-cum sucking as well.

Vengeance is a Dish Best Served Cold.

Phoenix picks up a warm cigar from the floor. Phoenix ties up the guy who just had sex with Julie Meadow. She drops the cigar onto the gasoline-drenched floor and the warehouse as well as the guy go up in flames.

Scene 5: Coral Sands and Gwen Summers

Phoenix needs some information from police officer Sands. Phoenix has a business proposal and closes the deal with lesbian sex. Coral looks like a southern woman with large natural-looking breasts. Phoenix initiates the sexual contact and plays with Sand's pussy. Sands returns the favor until Gwen has an orgasm. The scene ends with them kissing each other.

Hope narrates about Phoenix closing in on the Dragon's boss. Phoenix is in search for "justice for the dead."

Better to Die on Your Feet Than Live on Your Knees.

Scene 6: Gwen and Dragon boss

Gwen says, "You want me dragon." He says, "I want your fucking cunt." And so he does. After this, Gwen gives him a great blowjob with eye contact. After some lame dialogue, he fucks her pussy doggy style. There is a change in scenery as they move into a better lighted area. Gwen is a screaming sex fiend! After some reverse cowboy and cowboy fucking, he cums a little onto her tongue.

The girlfriend's boss says, "If you control the cat, you control her. Without the cat, she is just a mere mortal."

Scene 7: Goldie McHorn and Dragon boss

The English lady wants to taste his knob. She goes right for his dick as she sucks away in an elevator. The scene ends with cum on her large tits. After this brief scene, gun shots rudely interrupt the ending.

Phoenix and the Dragon boss shoot at each other with machine guns. Phoenix corners him and zaps him while she questions where his girlfriend is.

Start. . .

Scene 8: Elizabeth X with guy

The girlfriend's boss is screwing around with one of the henchman. She tells him not to rush. The guy plays with her pussy using his tongue and fingers. Then, she gives him a great hummer with deep throat and the works. She is only wearing crotch-less fishnet stockings. He fucks her in several different positions such as missionary. This is a very erotic scene with her stockings and her gala-style gloves. After some doggy fucking and missionary fucking, he cums on her face. Great post cum sucking. He says, "Swallow it all." The scene ends with his dick deeply situated in her mouth. Another great scene.

He zaps him again and shows what he did with the two. She shoots them to death.

Phoenix says, "How's it feel to lose the one you love. Guess it's not your world after all. Say hello to eternity after all!"

Phoenix kills him.

Finally. . .

Hope and Phoenix hug each other. Hope urges Phoenix to go back. Gloria says, "True loves burns forever; for love is true mortality."

Overall: Scenes three and eight are the best ones on the disc. If you are a facial fan, you will be delighted since cum flows fast and long in scenes two, three, four, and eight. Gwen and Elizabeth X are by far the best looking ladies out of this bunch. Gwen's moaning and screaming definitely turned up the heat on her sexual performance. I enjoy Nic Cramer's actions scenes as well. What he lacks in his sex scenes is light. Arguably, the sex scenes were shot in low-light conditions which was a detriment since it is hard to see the lady's face or body.

DVD Quality: Since it was shot on film, there is some graininess. For the most part, the video quality was good but not as clear and sharp as Private or Diabolic DVD releases. The sound quality was good but the music in some parts was very bad.

Extras: The extras are sparse including the mandatory photo gallery, movies previews, and a trailer. There is nothing on this disc to make it stand out from other DVDs.
