Review brief: Running Time: 74 min. Production Date: 9 / 17 / 1994 Director: Harold Lime and Jane Waters Cast: Crystal Wilder, Felecia, Jenteal, Nikki Sinn, Rayveness, Rebecca Wild, Shelby Stevens, and Sindee Coxx Initial Expectations: Ive had mixed results out of this series, so Im going in with a fairly open mind. Initial Reaction: Its very mixed, with some scenes being very hot and some being barely watchable. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting playful all girl action Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting nastier or heavy toy all girl action and fans of Felecia or Rebecca Wild Audio /Video Quality: For a movie thats nearly ten years old, the technical aspects are very impressive. The audio is clear and well balanced, and theres minimal dubbing. The video has a few minor remnants, but they rarely interfere with the picture too much. The picture looks a little soft, but never so bad that it seems grainy, and is nicely lit. Music: The music is more romantic porno music, and rests very nicely in the background.

Initial Reaction: It leaves a bit to be desired. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for a straightforward anal movie without plot, nastiness, or a heavy anal emphasis Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for a really hardcore anal movie Audio /Video Quality: The audio is a little weak. Its often a little off balance and theres a few areas which are obviously dubbed. The video is pretty average. Theres a little grain throughout the movie, but the lighting is well done with few shadows. Theres also a little pixelation that rears its ugly head a couple times, but thankfully there isnt much of it.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting something light and fun similar to the early Shanes World features. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting to see and hear the action clearly Audio /Video Quality: The audio is, in a word, horrible. It captures the party boat action perfectly as you get to hear 99 party, boat, and atmosphere and 1 action happening on the boat. Even when they get away from the boat you can barely hear the action, and sometimes on the boat you get to see one couple go at it while another fucks.

Initial Reaction: Its a great showcase for Alexis. Who Should Watch It : Anybody curious about Alexis Amore as well as all of her fans Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants more than oral and teasing Audio /Video Quality: The audio varies from scene to scene. In the solo sections the only audio is the music. In the actual sex scenes theres no music, but the audio is nicely balanced and feels very realistic. There are a couple background noises, but theyre few and far between. The video is pretty good, and blends color and black and white video in a very pleasing manner, but does have its faults. Theres a hint of grain through the feature, which isnt all bad because the feature has an artistic feel and the slight grain enhances this feeling.

Im not expecting much different here. Initial Reaction: The X-Men scene is good, but the rest of the feature is easily skipped. Who Should Watch It : Extreme anime fans who want to see characters they know getting it on Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting the typical darker anime or who isnt familiar with anime Audio /Video Quality: The audio and video are both extremely clear. The animation is decent, but often feels like its just the same loop of animation run over again. Music: The music is a little on the loud side. It ranges from being not much more than the beat of a drum machine and a nice orchestration. Disc Problems: When you go to the extras menu and try to play all of the sequences, the DVD automatically stops at the end of the menu. Menus: The menus arent too bad.
