Desert Passion (1993)

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

All out, non stop, swinging boobs with no bra's to hold them back, welcome everyone- to late night Cinemax! This movie was on ALL the time and it probably caused about a billion erections. It's about two babes (one with huge boobs, one with small boobs) who decide to leave their crappy jobs behind and seek adventure. What happens next is no surprise, their abducted by crazy guys with sunglasses, brought to an upscale brothel and given mind altering substances. This movie had woman of all shapes an sizes, and i'm sure if it was on today people would dismiss it as being G rated, but back in those glorious nineteen nineties this was all we needed! A bunch of woman walking around scantily clad or naked, and eventually engaging in a long winded/overly artistic/overly simulated sex act. It didn't prepare me for what i was up against when i started dating woman for real, but it made you think about sex in a weird and somewhat clean way compared to the stuff you can get absolutely FREE online today. Truly a golden era.

Why did I give a D- to a film I call a "classic"? It's more personal than anything. This film was released when I first began watching Skinemax movies for more than just the sex. It's one of the first Skinemax movies I remember seeing that was deemed a "Skinemax movie." However, time hasn't been so kind to this film.Two friends hit the desert in an old Chrysler LeBaron looking for fun and adventure in Las Vegas. Heather, played by Carrie Janisse (the tall, skinny blonde) and Maggie, played by Missy Browning (the busty brunette) are our principal characters. Eventually they pick up a hitchhiker on the desert road, and eventually, like clockwork, Heather sleeps with the guy. The next day, the girls get kidnapped by guys in black shades posing as state troopers. The next thing you know, they're in some pseudo-prison for women where the standard issue uniform is a white tank top and cutoff denim shorts. Maggie really fills out her tank top....it seems that she's the only girl who does.In short, the girls here get injected with something that makes them complete nymphomaniacs, capable of fulfilling any man's fantasy, no matter how weird or wild it may be. There are a few in this movie....a desert scene, a cowboy and indian girl scene, a bondage scene, even an orgy scene with girls dressed in togas. They got everything in here....except a plotline. I don't think the writers ever came up with one. This film could have been called "Sexual Anthology" or "Tales from Tank Top Prison" or something like that. Just keep showing different sex scenes in different situations. The story is plain awful and is one reason this film gets a low grade. Luckily, this film is quite short, timing in at under 75 minutes.Women: D+ (The women didn't look all that great. Only Missy Browning was anything to write home about. I'm a sucker for big boobs.)Sex: D- (The sex scenes were inventive in terms of their scenery and concepts, but the sex itself wasn't all that great. The scenes were in slow motion most of the time and painfully short. Even the uncut version is like this, so don't bother looking there either.)Story: F (There was no story. Really. I'm not kidding.)Overall D- (It comes down to a scene where Maggie was daydreaming in the desert. A mystery guy pops up out of nowhere and Maggie rips off her clothes and gets on top of him. That scene alone keeps this film from getting an F. As bad as this movie is, I still have a soft spot for it....for what reason, I have no idea.)

This movie is definitely not for anyone that wants plot along with their erotic movies. What this movie lacks in plot, it makes up in visuals as the actresses in this movie are great eye-candy. If you're looking for a movie that'll make you think, don't look for it here.

Missy Browning - who plays Maggie the stripper (the brunette) - is incredible! She makes this otherwise lousy movie well worth watching. There's other visual talent in the movie, for sure, but Missy is in a league of her own! (Can you say "physical perfection"?!?!?)
