  • Dangerous Curves



    Released by: VCX
    Released on: 7/2/2010
    Director: Jack Genero
    Cast: Sharon Mitchell, Jessica Wylde, Tony Martin
    Year: 1986
    Purchase From TLA

    Adam Huxley (Tony Martin) is a commercial illustrator (but not and artist, as he lets some people know) living in a house once inhabited by the famous actor Candy Lane. Now the apparent owner is a maid, Rose (Sharon Mitchell), who placed an ad in the paper for a house tenant, maid included. Because, as we all know, single women want nothing more than to clean and cook for men. At any rate, we learn through Rose that Candy Lane died in an accident on the “dangerous curves”. Adam finds a diary of Candy's and reads aloud the accountings of her sexcapades.

    So he boinks his agent, boinks some strangers he meets in the park, then boinks his agent again with some other woman, but meanwhile keeps getting obscene phone calls by some mystery woman (and the fuckhead reports it to the phone company…what self respecting male would report an obscene female caller??).

    Rose has sex with some dude at the beginning and later a lovely lady, but never Alex. Hmm…why not? …strange…until it is revealed in the shock twist ending that the obscene phone calls are COMING FROM WITHIN THE HOUSE!! A note turns up and Rose reveals to Alex she is actually Candy Rose, is in love with him, but can't be with him because the diary exposes things about her she didn't feel he could accept. So she left and went for a ride around those dangerous curves. Poetry.

    This wasn't too bad of a porno. The story stinks (but at least there's a story!), the acting is typically bad for 80s fare, but the sex is pretty hot in some sections and of course Miss Sharon Mitchell looks as lovely as ever. Something about that lady…she's just sexy and turns out her usual enthusiastic performance. She's the real standout in this nail biter, with kudos to Jessica Wylde who seems pretty legit in her moaning. Not a fantastic entry into the realm of 80s smut, but certainly not at the bottom of the barrel.

    Video/Audio/Extras
    The aspect ratio is 4:3 full screen and was shot on video, so it looks pretty crummy. The image is really soft and washed out looking, so don't go looking for fine detail. That said it is certainly watchable unless you have higher definition expectations, in which case this will disappoint.

    The audio is a mono track and sounds like it was recorded on a shitty VHS camera microphone. It probably was. But, aside form being muffled it is easy to understand and never sounds garbled. It's on par with the video quality, which is understandable considering the source of the material.

    There're some extras to browse through, with some repeats from other VCX discs released around the same time. First is four “Bonus Scenes” from various movies (Sex Wish, Sweet Throat, Practice Makes Perfect and Two At Once), with running times from 5:30 to 9:30, with one of the scenes featuring the gorgeous French sex-bomb Brigitte Lahaie. The next item is a selection of vintage trailers (Pleasure Palace, Second Coming of Eva, Sweet Throat, and Flesh Fever). And third is a “Legendary Tribute” which is a compilation of familiar mugs making silly faces set to music, lasting about four and a half minutes and exactly the same as the one found on other VCX releases.

    The Final Word:
    If you dig Sharon Mitchell, this will please you. If you just dig 80s pornos, this has some decent sex in it. Give it a once over at least. The extras give the viewer a bit more to tug it to and make up for the video quality.
