Extra's: A cast list (strictly text), photo gallery, hall of fame video featurette, and other titles (which show 3 low-quality boxcovers and nothing else!). Pitiful.
Audio/Video Quality: The picture was presented in 1.33:1 ratio full frame. Since this is a movie from 1995, the video looks like average VHS. Nothing was glaringly wrong, it's just got that old washed-out look to it. The sound is standard fare, nothing revolutionary here.
The Movie: I was a huge fan of Racquel Darrian about 7 years ago, but I'd never actually seen one of her movies. She may have been considered hot in her time, but she just doesn't cut it in today's market. Big hair, huge hoop earrings, corny sunglasses, acid-washed denim, and prominent tan lines - What were we thinking back in the 90s?! VCA released this as one of their "Classic" titles, and basically all they did was convert the VHS tape to DVD and throw in about some worthless extras. This is a very short DVD, with only 4 scenes! Each scene has ALOT of filler, so don't be fooled by the long running time. The sex is pretty decent, and may have actually been considered hot at the time the movie first came out. I just don't see a market for these "Classic" releases, unless you're a super-fan or something.
Final Thoughts: I had a feeling this movie was going to be a dud, and I'm sad to say that I was right. This release is truely for the obsessed fan that's worn out his VHS copy, and no one else.
