The opening featurette has a premise that sounds pretty good: remake "Gilligan's Island" with blue-eyed Nina Hartley and let the good times roll. Why doesn't it work? Probably because pretentious ol' Mr. Howell isn't there to dangle baubles in front of Ginger when Lovey isn't around. Instead, when our crew gets shipwrecked, they meet up with an organ (musical) freak and his geek, neither of which has seen any broads for years. Even the boring Professor could have livened this one up.
But all is not lost. There's some fairly interesting photography and the day is saved by Hartley, who lets her energy and verve triumph over the below par material. The centerpiece and raison de trait for this featurette is a sampler of Hartley's charms in the culminating scene where she has to bang the organ freak senseless in order to get off the island. If you hit the fast forward whenever she has her clothes on, or is not in the scene, you can't go wrong.
The "B" feature on the bill, "Prisoner of Lust," has Herschel Savage squaring off against Patricia Lockhart and Jennifer Noxt. This one starts out as some kind of gooned-out Rambo fantasy and gets told in flashbacks. It's on the bottom of the bill for a reason.
