Most sequels, whether "regular" movies or porn, don't work. But lo and behold, Pumping Irene II is a pleasant surprise, a wry, amusing scorcher with hot bodies and hotter sex.

Irene (Lois Ayres) comes up with a new idea to save her faltering gym. She's taking the show on the road, bringing clients her Mobile Muscle Factory. She's accompanied on her erotic odyssey by Elle Rio and Angel Kelly — more pleasing company than Homer ever had. But their truck breaks down outside of Randy West's home. His house guest is Peter North, and before you can say "push-up," Irene — and her friends — are being pumped.

There's plenty of action which your local gym probably doesn't offer. For starters, Blondi and Tony Montana, who just happen by the scene, put their love muscles to good use. This real-life romantic couple certainly know what makes each other tick. They do it every which way possible — and then some! Blondi's buxom, lithe body is a physical marvel, and Tony knows how to make the most of it.

From there, we're treated to Peter North literally being devoured by Elle Rio and Angel Kelly. North, one of porn 's finest male performers, once again proves his mettle. As he's "exercising" inside of "Angel, Elle washes his "glutes" with her tongue in a wild scene. The man deserves a medal for surviving this encounter. And Pumping Irene II deserves kudos for delivering the goods. Who says sequels are all bad?
