Directed by: Toni English
Review brief: Cast: Nina Hartley, Lauren Montgomery, Keri Windsor, Dee, Bridgette Kerkove, Adajja, Herschel Savage, Mark Davis, Rich Handsome and Cheyne Collins in sex roles; Joey Ray, Johnny Dunn and others in non-sex roles. Director: Toni English Production date: 5/15/01 (box); 12/17/01 (feature) Length: 73 min. feature, plus 8 min. from volumes two (recap) and four (preview) Extras: A 14-min. scene from Hotspot, 7 short biographies (Nina, Dee, Lauren, Keri, Bridgette, Adajja, Herschel), 3 trailers and a slide show with 20 photos. Disc problems: My Apple DVD Player (version 2.2.1) is not reading the time stamp. If I quit during the middle of the scene and later reopen the application, the disc restarts at the FBI warning screen. This is rather annoying. There are only five chapters in the feature itself, which means a lot of scanning is necessary to find the place where I left off. Audio/visual quality: The visual quality is extremely good, with attractive sets, nice lighting and pleasing camera angles.

Starring: Brick Majors, Billy Glide, Evan Stone [I] (straight), Dee [II] (classic female), Lauren Montgomery, Nina Hartley, Keri Windsor, T.J. Cummings, Darla Crane
Directed by: Toni English
Review brief: Cast: Keri Windsor, Nina Hartley, Lauren Montgomery, Dee, Darla Crane, Billy Glide, T.J. Cummings, Brick Majors and Evan Stone. Director: Toni English Production date: 2/20/01 (box); 11/26/01 (feature) Length: 78 min. feature, plus 7 min. from volumes one (recap) and three (preview) Extras: A 17-min. bonus scene from Stolen Moments, 6 short biographies (Keri, Nina, Lauren, Dee, Billy, Brick), 3 trailers and a slide show with 33 photos. Disc problems: As with Naked Hollywood 1: Faking It, my Apple DVD Player (version 2.2.1) freezes if I let the menu autostart. I can circumvent the problem by holding down the right arrow key (which is the shortcut for chapter skipping). This may or may not be an issue on other players. Audio/visual quality: The video quality is immaculate. The images are consistently clear and crisp, with no significant shadow problems. The camerawork is smooth and expert, and there's nothing goofy in the editing.

Directed by: Toni English
Review brief: Cast: Nina Hartley, Keri Windsor, Dee, Lauren Montgomery, Daisy Chain, Jason McCain, Evan Stone, Marty Romano and Joey Ray in sex roles; Jim Steele and Drew Warner in non-sex roles. Director: Toni English Production date: 2/20/01 Length: 81 min. (actual running time; box claims approx. 90 min.) Extras: A 19-min. bonus scene from Hotspot, 5 short biographies (Nina, Keri, Dee, Lauren, Evan), 3 trailers and slide show with 33 photos. Disc problems: My Apple DVD Player (version 2.2.1) freezes if I let the menu autostart. I can circumvent the problem, however, by holding down the right arrow key (which is the shortcut for chapter skipping). This may or may not be an issue on other players. Audio/visual quality: The video quality reveals a high level of loving care and attention. The lighting is gentle yet adequate, the focus is reasonably sharp and the transitions between camera angles are flawlessly smooth. The music varies from hard rock to sensuous jazz to synth pop, but it always fits the mood of the scene.
