How dangerous to make a sequel to a classic adult film and shoot it on video. But how brave. . . and oh how it works. Babylon Pink II, not as funny as the original and not really a sequel, succeeds as an incredibly scorching sexvid, and the first great shot-on-video feature of 1988.

Henri Pachard directs and Cecil Howard produces this story of presidential candidate Robert Bullock's attempt to get support from women for his campaign. He's a real womanizer, typically political in skitting both sides of the fence. What is intriguing about the sexvid is that none of the characters actually have sex. . . . only their fantasies are on view.

So let's get down to why store owners must stock this and sexvid fans must buy it: Shanna McCullough and Robert Bullock are searing in a stunning sex scene with enough dirty talk to raise the dead; Bullock and Nikki Knights practically ignite in their bedroom; Knights has a fantasy lesbian sequence with soap opera star Sharon Kane (who becomes a paid spokesperson for Bullock's campaign); and Joey Silvera, Ona Zee and Alexa Parks exchange everysexual combination you'd want. Finally, Henri Pachard films yet another in his endless bathroom sequences, this time with Jerry Butler, McCullough and Kane.

The script is swiftly directed by AVN Best Video Director Pachard, with great performances from Bullock, Kane and McCullough. It's one of the hottest tapes around and a sure-fire bet for nominations in next year's AVN awards.
