Vice Vs Vice is another quickly produced poorly made adult feature film that was churned out by the early adult industry. It is likely that no one involved in the production expected the film to have any longevity and put in the minimal amount of effort necessary to create an adult film. The first issue with Vice Vs Vice is the lack of a comprehensible story. The film tries to set something up but has to resort at the end of the film to just flat out telling the viewer what happened over the last hour. The set-up for the film is that Ken (Ric Lutze) and Mark (Rick Cassidy) are partners who train women in the art of domination. The rest of the runtime is filled with Ken and Mark breaking in women.

The sex scenes, like the plot, are pretty much a miss. The sex scenes fail to create any true eroticism and often just look like everyone is just going through the motions. The sex scenes are filled with gynecological close-ups of random body parts entering other body parts. The uncredited director and uncredited editor of the film clearly thought just the mere concept of capturing footage of copulation was all an adult film requires and never thought about whether anyone would get off watching the footage.

Vice Vs Vice has no real story, not overly erotic sex scenes, and is an easily missed adult film. It is clear that the uncredited director didn't put much time or effort into making Vice Vs Vice. As a result, there is no real reason to spend time watching this poor attempt at adult filmmaking.

The edition of Vice Vs Vice screened is the streaming-only edition available on Exploitation.TV. Vinegar Syndrome has done an acceptable job with their streaming-only edition of Vice Vs Vice. Vice Vs Vice was shot on film and it looks like Vinegar Syndrome has used a film print for their master. Vice Vs Vice is presented in the Academy aspect ratio of 1.33:1. The print used for the release has seen far better days and is rather heavily beat up sporting some heavy print damage and artifacts. The colors are generally decent, however, the color red can be very pronounced at times. There are also some slight jumps at times. Despite all of this, the film is still very watchable.

Vice Vs Vice is presented with an English monaural audio track. The audio contains pop and cracks and the sound can dip down at times. The dialog can be understood at all times during the presentation.

Vinegar Syndrome hasn't included any extras for their streaming-only release of Vice Vs Vice.

Vice Vs Vice sadly has no redeeming qualities as an adult film. It is just one of many cheaply churned out bad adult films that no one expected to live past the film reels all deteriorating. The acting is poor, the sex is badly captured, and the story seems to have been an afterthought. There are many adult films worth watching, however, Vice Vs Vice isn't one of them.
