This week we go back almost 35 years ago for another of the golden classics of porn films. As good as part one in this adapted for porn story was, the follow up is even more exciting, dramatic and sexy. It was an award winner and received critical acclaim from critics in both adult and mainstream. So check out our original review that we did back around 1997-98.
Beauty and the Beast 2 – VCA Films – Director – Paul Thomas – Cast – Tracey Adams, Victoria Paris, Rachel Ryan, Sabrina Dawn, Chaz Vincent, Tammy White, Randy West, Jon Dough, Dizzy Blonde, John Leslie, Randy Spears, Scotty Schwartz, Ray Victory, Henri Pachard.
The original X rated “Beauty and the Beast” came out in 1988 also written and directed by Paul Thomas. It was a fun delivery of the fairytale and in the end the beast (John Leslie) finds his true love (Tracey Adams). Now we come to the sequel, very nicely done, and how the true love of the beast is taken away and what all takes place to get her back. Much of the cast from the first one is back along with the addition of the very sexy Victoria Paris as Princess Sybil.
In part two we get a visual narrative from The Teller (Tammy White) of what is to come, again in a comedic vein, as the beauty and beast return as the very happily married King and Queen Beastington some 20 years after they found one another. They now have two attractive and sexy daughters Patience (Chaz Vincent) and the aforementioned Victoria Paris as Sybil. The daughters are as different as night and day. Patience is the innocent virgin while Sybil goes after all the sex she can find. One night Lord Jarvis (Randy West) beds Sybil and they have an intense romp. But Jarvis has a plan after bedding Sybil and wants his son Desmond (Randy Spears) to marry Sybil.
The only way he can make it happen is to blackmail the Queen by playing a recording for the King of daughter Sybil’s sexual escapades. He will keep the secret if the Queen has sex with him. Though she doesn’t want to and remain true to the King, she has no choice but to give in to Jarvis. What neither of them know is they are being spied on by the violin player who goes to the King to tell him what has he has seen. When the King asks if it looked as though the Queen was enjoying it he answers yes. This causes the King, after all these years, to revert back to his beastly self. What takes place from that point on, along with other twists in this story will keep you watching to see just what happens and how it all comes to an end for everyone involved.
The period costumes, settings, makeup and overall production are visually very good. The sex scenes, there are seven of them, range from mild to wild with plenty of sizzling action. The writing, done in a humorous way, is crisp and offers up some very funny lines. The cinematography is spot on capturing the moods, feelings and desires of the characters. The cast is excellent with a good range of acting chops bringing a lot of realism to this popular fairy tale in an adult way. Thomas, showed even back then, going from performer to director was a smart move. He has gone on to direct some of the best films in porn over the past twenty five plus years and won a number of awards for his work.
If you did not see the original 1988 porn version of “Beauty and the Beast”, it is available on DVD. I recommend you get hold of it along with “Beauty and the Beast 2”. It will provide plenty of entertainment and sexcitement.
