Extra's: This is one of Wicked Pictures' older releases and the extras were minimal at best. They included a number of photogalleries, a Star Stats section, promotional reels, Free Speech Coalition commercial, DVD-ROM extras (company profile, casino game, award winners, desktop backgrounds and weblinks), trailers to movies such as Hercules, XXX Training and Falling From Grace, and a double sided DVD cover

Condoms: Some

Audio/Video Quality: The picture was presented in the industry standard 1.33:1 ratio full frame color. There was some grain and video noise but the worse visual problem was related to the lighting. All too often, it was uneven which caused a host of problems (such as the grain) and color saturation. The up side was that there were no compression artifacts. The audio was presented in a remastered 5.1 Dolby Digital surround English track. There was no real separation between the channels, I think it was originally shot in monaural, but aside from some discrepancies in the mix, it was pretty fair for such a low budget release.

Body of Review: Wicked Pictures is currently the top company in the market for feature porn. It's not that they win so many awards, after all, who truly believes that the politics of award giving doesn't play into such things, nor is it because they spend so much to make high quality releases, a given if you've seen what they have to offer. No, it's more than that and no one will reasonably deny their place in the market, at least in their main niche, feature porn. That said, before they became a powerhouse in the industry, they made a number of lower budget releases, of varying quality. In one of their oldie but goodies, Smooth Ride, the company had a movie that centered on a small escort service/limousine service run by Jill Kelly. Here's what the box cover said: "Limousines…everyone's favorite ride. Well, imagine running a whole fleet of them with Jill Kelly as your boss! Of course, Jill's also running a (not so) discreet escort service on the side. So watch 'em steam up the windows with Jill's very first anal and D.P. And that's not all…stick around for Kylie's first anal as well! Smooth Ride it's the Smoothest Ride ever!" While the advertising on the box cover was slightly misleading, there was a lot to like in this fairly decent release. Here's a breakdown of the scenes by cast:

Scene One: Kylie, looking nearly as good as she did last week, had a lesbian scene with Jill, looking far better than she looked last week, in the back of a limousine. This scene was recorded nearly 8 years ago and Jill was still sporting her natural breasts. The scene looked like the gals had fun but it was cramped quarters and the lighting was very spotty at best. The gals licked each other all over and enjoyed some toy use, including a strap on dildo to Kylie's ass. Yum! On a side note, this is what the advertising meant by Kylie's first anal and I'm unaware of anyone who thinks a lesbian scene counts as such.

Scene Two: Christi, looking fit and young, took care of client Peter in the back of the limousine. They had a fair amount of foreplay before they started right in on the penetration action and soon ended with a facial, Peter North style. It was okay but I've seen both do better and the lack of a full camera crew limited what they could show.

Scene Three: Tracy and Jill showed their appreciation for Woody's assistance inside his mechanic garage. Initially, they blew him and Jill spent some time on Tracy until Woody gave some oral back to them. He then took turns screwing them, including Jill's first on screen anal. It was short but sweet and fun to watch.

Scene Four: Kylie, ever the helpful little lass, took care of Tony's pipes in the office, first by blowing him, then by screwing in a few positions after he warmed her up orally. The sex was oral and straight only and far too short for my tastes but seeing Kylie is always a good idea.

Scene Five: Jill, in her way of showing appreciation to Peter and Alex, had a scene in her office with both of them. The sex included oral, straight, anal and a DP before the pop shots and was actually pretty hot to watch (more than once). Fans may complain that they jerked off on her chest but she looked good here nonetheless.

Summary: I'm a fan of Jill Kelly, Kylie Ireland, and Christi Lake so I'm going to rate it as Recommended, even though the extras were minimal and the technical qualities below average for Wicked Pictures but those who aren't fans will want to adjust this rating accordingly. The acting was poor and story throw away at best but the sex wasn't bad. Check it out if you're a fan of these ladies.
