Bad Girls 1: Lockdown Review
|
Bad Girls 1: Lockdown Review Directed by Toni English and released by Vivid Video in 1994. This series has nothing to do with the Bad Girls movies of the 1980's. There is no story development whatsoever. The story is so flimsy that characters are never introduced, nor given names. The movie begins with Janine seducing Isis Nile in an apartment with Steve Drake and Sahara Sands on hand. While everyone is distracted by sexual antics, Janine begins pocketing valuables, thus revealing that she is a thief. Her black ball cap also plays into that fact. As she flees with the loot, she is stopped by a cop who appears out of nowhere. She is thrown in jail with the same clothes on next to Debi Diamond's cell. The two quickly get it on. Follow that with a jump to a guard (Brigitte Aime) having sex. Viewers only know that because her uniform has not yet fully come off. Then the breakout plot begins in the laundry room with Asia Carrera. Realizing they need a drill, Janine and Asia head to the doctor's office. Although it never shows them acquiring a drill (though Asia does get drilled--by Nick East), we then see that the trio have tunneled out of the jail into some barn. They immediately have sex to celebrate and are joined by Tony Tedeschi and Alex Sanders, fellow prisoners who have apparently been tipped off to the jailbreak. The next scene is of Asia and Tony Tedeschi sharing a bunk bed back in jail. The End. No logic whatsoever. Story Grade: F. This movie was shot on video, and not very good quality video at that. Medium Grade: C. The apartment scene was so fake that the reverse shot showed a plain black wall. The dividing wall between the two cells appeared to be a cheap piece of painted plywood. The scene with the guard sex was outside, but there was no indication of where it was taking place. It certainly didn't look like a prison yard. Set Design Grade: D. Although there was a lot of vocalization to the sex scenes, none of them seemed particularly erotic as they seemed to be greatly exaggerated. The fake surroundings detracted from them. However, the girls all looked great. Sex Performances Grade: C-. There was very little acting and the situations in which the characters found themselves was so unbelievable that even the greatest acting performances would probably not have saved this production. Acting Grade: D. Not much thought was given to wardrobe. The prisoners were given no uniforms. They were allowed to wear jewelry and<b> belts </font></b>and any type of shoe. There was a helmet in the doctor's office with a flashlight attached to the top. And where did that vibrator come from? No realism whatsoever. Wardrobe Grade: F. Lighting was harsh at times and at other times it made no sense. Clearly there was a blue light shining into the doctor's office. It may have been in attempt to stylize the look of the scene, but it ultimately failed, serving only as a distraction to what may have been the best sex scene in the movie. Lighting Grade: C-. Sound quality was okay, although there were dropouts at times. The score music would stop and then would not return for some time later in the scene. The inconsistency seemed to have no reasoning behind it. Sound Grade: C-. The buck stops with the director in any movie production and with this production it appears that it was only one buck that was spent. That's an exaggeration of course, given the actors were undoubtedly well-paid for a Vivid feature. Nevertheless, the lack of effort is appalling. Directing Grade: D. That blue light shining into the doctor's office may have been an attempt at stylization, and the aerobatic sex work during the prison break scene showed ambition, but beyond that there appears to have been little artistic merit. Artistic Merit Grade: D+. OVERALL GRADE: D. |
