The sex never stops coming in Hollywood Starlets, the story of three young girls who head for the big city in search of fame, fortune and sex in the world of adult videos. Straight couples, lesbian duos and multi-bodied orgies flow in succession, as director Bruce Seven presents a strong story that features quality acting and a very eye-appealing leading cast.
The video’s three main characters – Amber Lynn, Heather Wayne and Gail Force – give excellent performances as the streetwise, rarin’-to-go type, the hesitant-but-eager type; and the shy-and-naïve type respectively. Lynn is a really erotic performer – dressed in thigh-high leather boots, black tank top and leopard skin mini-skirt. She does a stimulating strip/dance for agent D.T. Mann, and then continues to “work hard” throughout the video in her climb up the ladder of success. Although she does not receive top billing, Karen Summer gives one of the better performances as the slave-driving photo session photographer. Her enthusiasm for sex and her “I’m-Having-A-Great-Time” smile add fuel to the fire in her already extra-hot scenes, first with Francois Papillon and then with Lynn, Force and a couple of silver vibrators.
Viewers will find that the razor-sharp muscularity of Papillon and the well-developed bodies of the cast’s other leading males (Mann, Steve Drake, Greg Rome and Peter North) compliment the leading females very well. The casting of males who are as physically attractive as the leading females makes for a more erotic presentation, a habit of the adult video industry should get into.
From a technical standpoint, Hollywood Starlets is among the best of the year. Close-ups and low camera angles make the stars, at times, seem bigger than life (if you can imagine Christy Canyon’s monster mammaries being any bigger). Smooth transitions among the many scene changes help to maintain the video’s sexual pace.
The only real glaring error is the sudden disappearance of Gail Force at the end of the movie. The last we see of her, she is hanging suspended in a leather and chain harness, and then Director Bruce Seven comes on and says she apparently has faded “back to Oklahoma. What the hell you gonna do about it?”
Nothing, I guess. But considering she is one of the main characters, this story flaw is out of place in an otherwise very professional presentation.
But even her disappearance does not distract from the video’s six-person orgy finale, nor does it dampen what by that point is already a flaming hot sex tape that should be on your list of must-sees.
