Here is another real classic from the NightMoves vault that is perfect for these times. Why? because of the pandemic, the political upheaval, unemployment, civil unr est and a myriad of problems, we need some brightness, some humor and some laughs and this is a film that provide all of that and more.

Double Feature – Wicked Pictures – Director – Jonathan Morgan – Cast – Serenity, Jewel De Nyle, Kary Evers, Sana Fey, Shanna McCullough, Ursula Moore, Danielle Rodgers, Stephanie Swift, Randy Spears, Mickey G., Ian Daniels, Herschel Savage, Anthony Crane, others.

Fans of porn were blessed with a sex comedy that still holds up today as one of the funniest ever done. Jonathan Morgan took a break from his dramatic films to put this spoof together of the 1950’s B movies about sci fi, aliens, monsters and other creatures. What he wound up with was film that swept the 1999 AVN awards and one of the most clever and funniest ever done in porn. In this film however, the sex scenes somewhat take a back seat to the hilarity that comes across from the characterizations in this exceptional spoof.

If this film doesn’t make you laugh, laugh and laugh some more than I suggest a visit to your doctor to help him find your sense of humor. When I first reviewed this film for NightMoves Magazine in 1998, I was still laughing as I wrote the review and said then it was a no brainer for multiple awards and it took home plenty of them. I have viewed this several times since and still laugh, and still find things I missed in previous viewings.

Morgan brought together a great cast headed by Randy Spears and Serenity done in black and white with the sex scenes in color. It opens with host Anthony Crane taking you into the theater for previews of coming films starring Suzie Cheesecake (Serenity) and Rip Rockwell (Randy Spears) and with titles like ‘Gangbang Zombies’, a horror movie, ‘Death Rides a Rubber Horse’, a murder mystery where someone is murdering blow-up dolls and ‘Attack of the Twelve-Story Dildos’, a sci fi flick. Already the laughs have begun with these previews before we even get to the two main features. A word here about Anthony Crane, while he does not take part in any sex scenes, he is all over the film. Aside from being your opening host, Crane plays about six or eight different roles throughout the film and is simply brilliant in every one.

After the previews we get the first feature, ‘Attack of the Bimbos From Outer Space’. The aliens are Shanna McCullough and Kary Evers and Commander Clitora from Uranus, Jewel De’Nyle. They land their UFO in a little hick town and the fun with the locals begins with one laugh after another. Then the heroes of this movie show up, Trent Nerdski (Randy & Rip) and Judy Luvjoy (Suzie & Serenity). Clitora announces to them they are going to take over and their sexuality will not be resisted. General Slowmo (Herschel Savage) isn’t going to take this lying down. After finishing an office war maneuver reminiscent of the film “Stripes” he sends a commando squad to destroy the aliens. What takes place is hilarious and very sexual. Of course the hero steps in and saves the world, but how it is all done and what takes place is filled with sex and laughs.

Then the second feature ‘Man Made Beast” a spoof of the monster films comes next. Dr. Shelley (Serenity), is a mad scientist who can’t find a man who can satisfy her. She has an assistant, Tabitha (Sana Fey) complete with a hump on her back. Tabitha mentions the problem maybe she needs to try females but that doesn’t work, so Dr. Shelley creates a monster to satisfy her sexual needs. She only needs one more piece, a cock, so she sends Tabitha for one. What follows is pure hilarity when it comes to this new cock. It is especially funny and somewhat grotesque when Tabitha moves her hump to the front and takes on the monster (Randy Spears) to see if the new cock works. There is a lot more that takes place with Dr. Shelley, the monster, the people in the village and the sex.

Suffice to say Jonathan Morgan was spot on with everything here. The writing was sharp, clever, very funny and with some great over the top acting by the cast. The camera work was exceptional with the black and white morphing into color for the sex scenes. The sets, costuming and makeup were on the money and the music was perfect to give it that 50’s feel. The sex scenes were steamy even with the fun attached and Serenity showed why she was one of the most popular performers of the time, talk about being like a rubber band…wow! Jewel De Nyle and the other girls held their own, but top honors go to Randy Spears who was just outstanding in his varied roles. For the performers, staying character during the sex scenes was no easy chore, but they all managed to get through it. The entire production was masterfully put together.

The film swept the 1999 AVN awards, rightfully so and is a true classic of porn. It is available on DVD with some solid extras added. If there is one comedy classic to watch, enjoy and be totally entertained by, “Double Feature” is a must see. Just be prepared to laugh and watch for some of the sight gags along the way. This is one porn film you do not want to miss!.
