Audio/visual quality: The visual quality is pristine. After two viewings, I am unable to find a single blemish anywhere in the movie. The blend of wide, medium and close-up shots feels perfect. The focus stays sharp, too.

Directed by: Bud Lee
Review brief: Cast: Tina Tyler, Danielle Rogers, T.J. Hart, Alexandra Silk, Elle DeVyne, Mandi Frost, Taylor Moore, Jennifer Worthington, Randy Spears, Tony Tedeschi, Steve Hatcher and Alec Metro. Director: Bud Lee Production date: 4/20/98 Length: 107 min. Extras: Two trailers and a silent slide show with 20 photos. Audio/visual quality: The visual quality is adequate, though it lacks in crispness. Emphasis is on soft-core shots. A boom mike dances around the edge of the screen in scene two, creating a minor distraction. The soundtrack is synth rock and light jazz. It won't win any awards, but it's mostly inoffensive. The volume of the music varies a bit within the scenes, but it's well balanced with the sex sounds. Some audio noise and background sounds are present. In general, the volume is on the quiet side, though not intolerably so. False advertising: This is a subtle point, but both reviewer and Astroknight have mentioned that Tina Tyler should appear on the cover. I agree.

Review brief: Cast: Asia Carrera, Ava Vincent, Kristi Myst, Nicole Sheridan, Kylie Ireland, Nikita Denise, Catalina, Joel Lawrence, Michael Stefano ("Luciano" on box), Dale DaBone, Chris Cannon, Randy Spears, Voodoo in sex roles; Steven St. Croix, George Kaplan, Simon Wolf in non-sex roles Director: Bud Lee Production date: 3/29/01 Length: 114 min. Extras: Full motion menus with scene and position selection, 3 bonus scenes, 2 director's cut scenes, 9 trailers, 7 interview-style biographies, a 25-min. behind-the-scenes featurette, 14-min. blooper reel, 12-min. director's interview, 11-min. sex reel, and 10-min. "Tails Trilogy" interview with Asia and Bud Lee. Some extras mentioned on the box (most notably the "Wolves" featurette by Simon Wolf) are missing. This apparently is an honest mistake; see Astroknight's review for details. Audio/visual quality: First-rate special effects make this a truly magical feature. Every set is extremely classy, especially considering that one was completely rebuilt at the last minute.
