Review brief: Pre Viewing Expectations The case boasts five language tracks, which I found impressive. You can listen to this feature in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish. There are 13 photos on the case showing the various costumes and locations featured in the movie, but all are non-explicit and don't show what types of action one can expect. There is a good write-up of the plot, saying it is a modernized perverse twist on the story of Macbeth. It notes the feature is about two hours. Overall, this gives one a good sense of what to expect within. The Main Event Overall there are eight scenes in this movie. There is a nice variety of action, ranging from female only scenes, to male/female parings, to three-ways and a seven person orgy on a table. The sets are interesting, as are the sets. There are scenes set in a castle, and others wich look like they were shot in a war zone. A nice change from the typical bar, poolside, or bedroom sets. There is consistent comdom usage, good to see given its recent filming.

Review brief: Pre Viewing Expectations Wow, the case says this feature is over three hours. This will be the first porno I've watched that is longer than most main stream motion pictures. There is a bit of a write up about the plot, but it expects one to have watched the first one in the series (which I have not). Also noted are the 11 scenes and the 33 girls staring in this feature. Mention of filling Jill Kelly's three holes is also made. The Main Event As promised on the case, there are eleven sex scenes in this movie. Most are typical male/female parings. There are a couple of group sex scens, including the "all holes filled" scene. This doesn't involve three men, but two men and either a dildo or pussy to occupy the third opening. Not exactly air tight, and a bit disappointing. Many of the scenes are quite long, to the point of being too long. I found myself getting bored with this, often noting it was time they moved on to something new. The plot is supposed to revolve around a car wash, which is going mobile to make money.

Review brief: Pre Viewing Expectations There isn't a listed running time, but it is noted to be the Directors Long Cut. Too bad the case doesn't give any clue as to what type of action is here, the photos are all non-explicit. The synopsis is rather terse, telling more about the introductions done by Jim and Jill rather than about the action. Unless you are a fan of Jim Holliday or Jill Kelly, there isn't much here to catch one's eye. The Main Event Plot? You want a plot? They start out with a bunch of segments revolving around a basic theme of coeds who do anything to improve their grades. Somewhere, this theme, basic as though it is, gets lost, and the scenes become purely sex scenes, with little dialogue other than the dirty talking. For the scenes which do follow the plot, they are unscripted, letting the actors do a bit of improv. This shows, as the dialogue is slow and at times a bit forced. It does allow for some funny lines which wouldn't have normally been written.

Review brief: If you are forever stuck in the 1980's, keep reading, this movie will be right up your alley. If, however, you are looking for something fresh and modern, quit now and look for another review. Overall, I am quite impressed with the video remastering job done on this movie. After all, the original was shot what I estimate to be in the 1980s. Parts of the video appear hazy, almost like a midday soap opera, but this is the desired effect they were going for at the time, and not to be construed as a flaw in the video. If you remember anything about the 80s, you'll remember how video effects were new, neat, and excessively used. This movie is no exception, reverse video and other color based effects are used quite a bit in the early parts of the film, to the point I found distracting. Thankfully it doesn't permiate the entire movie. The audio, likewise, is very good. It was full and rich, even if it was a bit annoying, but that is just my opinion. The repeating musical chord is more the fault of a limited musical score, rather than the remastered audio track.
