The Director Reviews... Holly Does Hollywood

This review covers the the "cut" version. The movie was cut to excise any mention or depiction of Traci Lords' character. The original movie was made in 1984. I got this copy recently from Excalibur.

Cody Nicole, Pam Jennings, Laurie Smith, Erica Boyer, Roxanne Rolands, Rikki Blake, Ron Jeremy, Marc Wallice, Craig Roberts, Blake Palmer, Tim Long, Rocky Rome, Dan T. Mann, Steve Hanna, and "Playgirl Magazine's" Steve Drake

Special thanks to Jamal Dunbar, Peter van Aarle, Patrick Riley and JD Larkin for helping me fill out the cast listings.

Christy comes to Hollywood to achieve porn stardom. She meets up with her friend Marc Wallice who gets her into the porn world.

Christy Canyon

Under the credits, Christy does some topless softcore posing for us.

Amber Lynn/Christy Canyon/Tim Long

Christy watches Amber and Guy in a photo shoot. She imagines herself participating, so she pops in and out of the action. When she's out of the action, we see her, clothed, watching the scene.

Neither Amber nor Christy can get this guy hard (is he dead?!?). Finally, Christy mounts his as he eats Amber, for what is one of my fave fantasy positions -- gals kissing while they are each getting serviced. The camera work is absolutely horrible. We can't keep anything in frame, the camera is constantly moving. What a waste.

Amber blows the guy and supposedly some cum comes out and she rubs her breast.

Amber Lynn/Greg "Rocky" Rome

She blows him in a bubble bath. He takes her doggie. She mounts him. She blows him and makes "nasty" faces at him. He stands over her and jerks off onto her tits. She cleans him off afterwards.

Dan T. Mann/Rikki Blake

Man, is Rikki cute!!!! Happily the cameraman spends some time getting focus off her shoe (what the fuck?!?) Another totally botched scene; at least it was short. He cums on her belly.

Christy Canyon/Rikki Blake/Dan T. Mann

Christy starts off playing with herself in a hot tub. My copy of the tape was horribly dark. I love Video Exclusives. NOT! "Have you ever been with a woman before?" "No," sez CC, "but I'd like to give it a try sometime..."

Some nice teacher/student talk between the two. Alas, it lasts about a minute until Dan comes back in...

The teacher/student dialog continues ("Start with giving him head") Christy gets fucked mish while Rikki sucks her tits. "You came inside her?!? That's twice today you came too soon!" Actually, I'd say it was once that day he came, and this time was faked. :-)

Christy Canyon/Ron Jeremy/Blake Palmer/Guy 2

Christy's first foto shoot. She starts sucking RJ's cock as plows her from behind. Then some tit fucking as Ron cums on her tits. Start to first cumshot: 1 minute 45 seconds. Christy cleans off Ron's cock. She rubs the jizz into her tits. "I want more" she moans.

She sucks Guy 2 from below as Blake does her mish. Ron clumsily plays with her tits while his guy blocks some of the shots. at 3:30 Blake shoots his load on her bush. She and he rub the cum into her bush.

Guy 2 takes her doggie style and a minute later cums on her ass.

How a 3 guys on Christy can be shot and done with inside of 5 minutes is a crime and a waste of resources of epic proportions.

Christy Canyon/Craig Roberts

Now its time to fuck the photog. She sucks him. He plugs her doggie style, She dies a little RC (hallelujah!) but it's shot horribly (let's spend MORE TIME on her left shoulder?!? -- heathen!) he wraps it up by going mish and cumming on her belly. She cleans his cock off after.

Christy Canyon/Dave Sanders

More photo shoots. He has her mish, doggie then some vertical tit fucking for a pop shot on her tits.

Pam Jennings/Dan T. Mann

Not very easy on the eyes ole' Pam, though she is the most energetic thing in this flick so far... the easy listening music is a little overbearing.. BJ, doggie, mish, cumshot on belly/tits.

Erica Boyer/Laurie Smith/Ron Jeremy

One forgets how cute Laurie was. The gals "perform" for Christy and Steve Drake who walk in on them. Lots of breast play here. Eventually a good thing is spoiled by the appearance of the Hedgehog. The girls are on top of each other kissing and Ron goes pussy to pussy. Ron plugs Erica as she eats Laurie. The gals blow Ron, and he blows his load straight into the air...

Cody Nicole/Greg Rome

Quick BJ, then mish. This scene is intercut with the Erica/Laurie scene. Cody looks a LOT like Meg Ryan in this scene. Spooning, some guy on top 69 (what ever happened to *that* position?) She blows him then jerks him off, so he too spouts like a geyser, soiling only the hands of his partner...

Rikki Blake/Peter North

Steve and Christy pop in here as well, and start to get in on. Peter, meanwhile, goes mish, doggie, and they 69 (her on top) and he cums, though we can't really see it.

Christy Canyon/Steve Drake

Finally they find a spot in the house, and get it on. Steve eats her, then goes mish (and she wiggles her ass something good) then he pulls out and cums on her left tit.

Pretty much sucked. Lots of Christy in too short scenes. I'd rather have half the scenes twice as long with the heat turned up. The production staff was inept in every area (lighting sucked, camerawork sucked, editing sucked...)

When a Christy vehicle has the most spirited performance out of someone other than Christy, something is terribly wrong.

Christy has done too few large number of guys scenes, and that this is one of them is a crime.

I like Christy, but I hated this movie. Even if you're a fan, you can do so much better.

On the Imperial scale, a 2.00

Not in the version I saw, which is the version the fan will be able to get 
(legally) today.

Plus, to me, I almost always need heat to make a package 
successful.  If I wanted just to see Christy, I'd enjoy the collection 
from alt.fan.christy-canyon :-)  If I want to see her fuck with reckless 
abandoned, I'd watch a movie -- but probably not this one...

Very true.  But this can be said of most of her pre-Vivid works.  Vivid 
has destoryed her, while parlaying her into a valuable commodity.  It's a 
double edged sword.  She can stop making movies 2 years ago, but vivid 
releases "Sex Secrets of a Mistress" as if it were a brand new flick...

Her early stuff was better -- she was freer, more "liberated", arguably
had more heat, looked a little better (her breasts were fuller back then
-- not that they aren't wunnerful now, but back then they had a little 
more shape... but that can be said about anyone when comparing themselves 
to 10 years prior).

Out of the four Christy movies I recently bought from Excalibur, I'd 
rate this one last -- for Christy content, I'd go with Like a Virgin, 
Black Throat and Gang Bangs (tied), and this one.

Maybe the 198*4* version, but this one is still a stinker.  It's a 2.00 
which is a rental if you're a fan, but otherwise, pass.
