Immoral Proposal (2013)

April and Pete are a couple in love with a perfect life until bad luck strike when Pete breaks his knee while training for a big boxing match. Without a way to bring money the couple are at risk to loose their house, so April go meet the bank manager to get a new loan.

Mr. Pete and April O'Neil

Sadly the next day they get a call that her request is denied, but Evan who overheard her conversation at the bank and offered to help them. Since they doesn't have much choice April call him and all three of them meet for a dinner.

April O'Neil, Mr. Pete and Evan Stone

At the end of the dinner Evan makes an offer to Pete... one million in exchange of one evening with his wife. Even if that would be the end of their couple financial problem he refuse and they left. But of course after some discussions they will recontact him and accept.

April O'Neil

Pete regrets it immediately but it's too late... After the evening is over April come back home, but the jealousy show it's head and when Pete checks his wife phone and finds a message from Evan his suspicions are confirmed. An argument start and April returns into Evan arms.

Mr. Pete

A month pass, April and Evan are together and Pete stays alone at the house. He became a personal trainer to earn a living and one day he succumbs to the temptation with one of his clients.

Remy LaCroix

Life is good for April until she come back and catch Evan with another woman in their bed. After seeing this she leaves without a word and came back to her husband... The end.

Of course the film is quite predictable, but it was enjoyable. This is the perfect example of a couple movie and it feels more like a romantic drama with a little bit of sex. Seriously there is only one scene in the first hour and it's at the beginning, so I bet some people could dislike this if they expect the usual formula.

The acting is fine and we feel the love between the couple, in fact there are quite a difference in the scenes between Pete with his wife and Pete with the other girl (the same is true for the Evan's scenes).

The film lost some steams before the final act when April O'Neil disappeared from the screen and this is the only negative I can find.

Not for everybody, but a good discovery... it was nice to see that real couple movies are always made and from what I have read this is Sweet Sinner specialty.

For Your Own Good (2019)

Something recent to change the pace and one who isn't widely available yet.

A young girl is dragged through a house and she is in crisis, why? We don't know yet, but we will find soon... One thing for sure this is a great way to start a movie.

Kristen Scott

The mysterious girl live in fact in the house and she is brought back because she planned to run away with her boyfriend. So she is locked and restrained in the room by her step mother and her step brother.

Later in the evening while Zac and her girlfriend are in the house Kristen make herself heard, but Zac explains to his girlfriend why his sister is locked in a room. It's a sad story and Mona believes him.

  

Mona Wales and Zac Wild

Like so many recent films this movie is divided by episode, or chapter if you prefer, so the first episode concludes with their love scene.

The second episode is where everything is very important since it's a flashback of a discussion between Kristen and Robby (her boyfriend) that happened before the film beginning... but contrary to what the iafd and the production company did, I won't spoiled anything and I recommend that you don't read the synopsis too before.

Robby Echo and Kristen Scott

After that flashback we are back in present time for the last part of the film. Kristen and Zac have a discussion about the dramatic event that happened because of Kristen. While they talk, Zac unties her so she will be more comfortable.

Zac Wild and Kristen Scott

At the conclusion we see that her stepmother was right about Robby... he called the cops and Kristen must quickly run from the house. The end, at least at this point since it's the last past available and I don't know if another is coming.

Another film that shown me once again how I was wrong to ignore modern adult cinema for so many years... the story is quite good and just the pre-credits sequence was more than enough to sell it to me. Kristen Scott who plays the main character is quite a discovery for me, she is an awesome actress whatever it is by her acting, by the way her visage can convey a wide range of emotions or how she does her sex scenes. There is also another factor who make the film more believable, at least for me, all the cum shots are internal as they are in real life (I sure never pulled out of a girl to jerk off at the conclusion of a lovemaking session in my life).

Highly recommended, like I said I'm not sure if the story is complete or not at this point but you can buy the three chapters of the movie directly from  Missax the studio who did it.

The Return of Johnny Wadd (1986)

Last film in the series starring John Holmes and this one was directed by Patty Rhodes. There are two different versions of this movie, the 1986 original (the one I watched) and a 1993 re-release who starts with an unrelated scenes and with more or less seven minutes cut from the original.

Now to be honest I didn't want to watch this film, but since I just recap the entire series I didn't have a choice to do so. But I won't waste any more times to do a recap, so I just write a short review...

John Holmes

Wadd is back at San Francisco after the murder of one of his close friend and he will investigate to find who is responsible for this and why it happened. Seriously this is about it...

Mai Lin

As I feared the film was cheap and awful... The story is pretty bad and generic (Raven Touchstone wrote better film than this). Many sex scenes are just there to fill a quota, sure the Wadd films of the seventies had a lot of sex but those were story related and they weren't there just because. 

Sheri St. Clair

Also it's shoot on video and it sure looks bad and this isn't necessarily because of this since many SOV adult films were visually adequate, but that one just look cheap. I won't talk about the action scenes who were all bad (the final confrontation was worst than bad... it was fucking insulting to the series).

Kimberly Carson

In fact watching this is more sad than anything... This isn't fun to watch John Holmes at the end of the rope. 

Only positive I can say is that Sheri St. Clair did a very good with her part and she outshines everyone else in this production.

Bunny Bleu

Unless you want to own the complete series of the Johnny Wadd films with John Holmes there is no reasons to get this. Feel free to skip it...

I can't imagine how bad the 1993 release can be...

China Cat (1978)

Sequel of The Jade Pussycat and this is something different and interesting. This time this isn't a Johnny Wadd's investigation but another detective agency trying to get the statue from him. Best way to resume this film is Charlie's Angels for adult

The story start when Charlie call his agency to give a new mission to his Charlie's Devils and like in Charlie's Angels we don't see his face and he is busy with a woman. As I said the mission is to get the Jade Pussycat. 

The first assignment is for Sandi and it's an easy one, getting her secretary job back from Wadd. Of course she's hired.

Paula Wain

Next Shari must seduce Wadd to get access to his apartment (to steal or copy his key I guess). Johnny being Johnny this isn't that hard to complete.

John Holmes and Jennifer Richards

Next part of the plan takes two teams. Sinthia keeps Wadd busy while Barbi and Shari search the jade statue in his apartment. 

Eileen Wells

While searching Barbi and Shari fell on a key (the key with SFAC written on it) so one goes to try to get some information about it and the other stay to continue searching. Barbi finally find the bag but Wadd arrives at the same time, a chance she was prepared for this 😏  

 

Cris Cassidy

After something I won't spoil for you she takes the bag and goes back to the agency filled with a feeling of accomplishment... too bad this is the wrong statue in the bag.

Uncredited Damon Christian

The plan didn't succeed but Charlie has another ace in his deck, he send an Asian hit woman to go get the Jade Pussycat... she failed too of course.

Kyoto Sun

That was sure enjoyable to have something different since I just watched ten of them in a row and it's a very good Charlie's Angels' take-off. As usual the casting is great (sadly Desiree Cousteau is wasted in a nothing role) and it did a good job as a direct sequel.

Not the best film in the series but it easily in the top three with The Jade Pussycat and Tell Them Johnny Wadd is Here.

Original film poster

Blonde Fire (1979)

In this new chapter Wadd goes international, indeed he was hired to buy and bring back the Blonde Fire diamond from South Africa... but don't get that excited they didn't shoot the film there.

John Holmes

After his landing Wadd goes directly at the DeBeers company to pick the diamond. He can't pick it immediately, but he left the cash suitcase in exchange for a delivery receipt and goes to the hotel room who was rented for him under a false identity by the company.

Jon Martin

It's time for a shower and while he takes it a thief enters his room to search for the diamond. She is caught and chained on the bed by Wadd for an interrogation... of course you know where it'll lead.

Phaery I. Burd

All of sudden there is a knock on the door so Wadd must hide the thief in another room to go check on the door who it is. Nothing to worry about, this is Lorna the secretary from  DeBeers he invited before leaving their office.

Kitty Shayne

After he is done with Lorna it's time for him to go meet Vickey Caruthers, the chief of security of DeBeers, at her apartment... yeah this is a busy evening for Johnny.

Jesie St. James

But wait this isn't over yet... next he goes at a club to learn more about the diamond thief and considering this is supposed to be South Africa this club sure feel out of place. So he sit at the bar and surprise he is drugged and wake up in a strange room (I guess he was stolen, this is not very clear) and he his helped by the club Belly Dancer.

Fatima Hamoud

Following this very busy night Wadd goes at Debeers office to pick the diamond and he leaves. But of course this won't be that easy, since everybody wanted the diamond a big game of I stole you and you stole me begins.

James Price

 Of course it ends fine and enter Seka as the woman waiting for Wadd at San Franciso.

Seka

Honestly even if this film casting was pretty good it wasn't that great. The story is boring and it feels more like a "John Holmes wants to fuck new women so let's do a film" production. After the last three films this was a deception and it doesn't help that the DVD isn't that good looking.

If you need to complete the series get it, but there aren't much to recommend.

The Jade Pussycat (1977)

After licensing the character for one movie Bob Chinn is back at the wheel for this film and what a comeback it is.

A man get down from a boat with a sport bag, the content happens to be the Jade Pussycat that he stole in a Japanese museum. He works with a Chinese woman and the jade statue worth a fortune. When they get back together they celebrate the heist but there is one problem for Paul... he is the victim of a double cross.

Bob Chinn, Jimi Lee and Jon Martin

At the conclusion of this betrayal we move to Johnny Wadd's office where he receive a visit from Jenny who is worried about her brother disappearance. They talk a while and she gave an envelope to Wadd with a letter and a key, so Wadd is in for another case.

Jessica Temple-Smith

Now that they have the statue in their hands it's time for Jasmine and Frankie to go meet Mueller, a German, who want to buy the Jade Pussycat. Again there is a problem... the statue is a fake! Looks like Paul wasn't that clueless since he hide the real one before meeting Jasmine. Mueller smells a double cross but he gives them a chance to retrieved the real pussycat.

Steve Balint and Linda Wong

Wadd starts his investigation going at the hotel where Paul was leaving, after quizzing the clerk he got the possessions he left in his room before disappearing and he is even able to rent the same room. While he goes through the things in the envelope there is a knock on the door from Sharon who a business partner with Paul.

Bonnie Holiday

Back to the Chinese gang, Paul isn't dead yet and they try to get the location of the key from him. They don't get much of him before he overdosed on the truth serum, but Jasmine thinks she knows where he sent the key... his ex-girlfriend. So she send Tang to pay her a visit and it's good thing VCA didn't released this film or we would have a cut version on DVD.

Yvonne Green

Wadd and Sharon enter in the apartment and after a cool scene they learn from Frankie that Jasmine is the one behind all this. So he goes at her place and find Paul's corpse, but he doesn't have the time to search more since Jasmine surprise him. Is it the end for Wadd? Of course not...

Linda Wong

With Jasmine neutralized the case is almost, but there is always a mystery. The key and it's Wadd's secretary who decode the letters written on it. So after thanking her Johnny goes at the place to locate the locker for the key to get what is in it.

Paula Wain

Of course it's the statue and Wadd brings it back to his home. He isn't quiet for long since he is visited by Alexandra, Mueller's associate, who make him an offer for the statue and he accept. They have a love session and Wadd is in for a surprise... Alexandra leave with the Jade Pussycat and brings it back to Mueller or maybe not.

Georgina Spelvin

At this point this is the best film in the series, the investigation is one surprise after another and is incredibly enjoyable, in fact it's the first one who could have been a mainstream crime film if there was no sex. The acting is top notch (except for Steve Balint who overact a lot and I really mean it), there is no fighting but the "who will betray who" moments make it for the lack of them.

Even better, for once we have a good quality release. Not as good as Tapestry of Passion but it sure looks better than all the previous entries I have watched before.

Tapestry of Passion (1976)

Second film in the series, if we count The Danish Connection, who was not directed by Bob Chinn. This entry was directed by Alan Colberg who also wrote it with Chris Warfield.

Johnny Wadd is hired by Jean Osborne (Lesllie Bovee) to find who killed his brother (John Leslie). She tells him that her brother was a sex freaks open to everything, so Wadd will start his investigation by visiting the San Francisco adult stores.

Lesllie Bovee

After a while since his businesses visits bring him nowhere he starts checking the newspaper adds and he fall on something interesting. Just when he is on the phone ready to call Tom Osborne's window knock on his door. She tells him to forget about his investigation, that his murder was certainly not connected to the other murders (a series of lookalike murder happen at the same time in the city) and that she was on the way to divorce her husband before he was killed. She tells him a sob story and you certainly know where it goes.

Annette Haven

After that interlude Wadd decides to go pay a visit at the house he was calling to. Once there he is rudely receive since he didn't call, but the woman in charge tell her assistant to let him enter. She is quite interested by Wadd but he decides to go and probably for the first time ever he refuses sexual advance.

Sharon Thorpe

In the meantime Johnny contact another victim wife to discuss with her about the murder of her husband. She isn't that interested to talk since she fear for her life and she flee, but Wadd intercept her at her home to talk and more.

Desiree West

Wadd returns at his home where he finds a black widow in his bed, understandably he is less than happy about this and decides that it's time to visit Nelson Drive house again. He finds Tom Osborne's wallet and call the police to tell them to come if they want to catch the murderer. While the lady of the house does his number on him Wadd handcuffs and get confessions out of her. Finally the police arrives and it's the end... ok not exactly. It's the end of the investigation but it's time for Johnny to get his payment and a little extra.

 

Visually speaking this is the best looking release in the series, but not the best film. Of course the cast is great and the investigation is interesting (just a little bit rushed), but it lacks what makes the series fun to watch... there aren't any actions, fighting action of course the other type of action is there.

John Leslie

But even if the film is different than the Chinn's entries it is enjoyable and I obviously recommend the film. You can get it on DVD from Vinegar Syndrome in a double features with All Night Long for a very low price.
