Hot Cops

Holly and Didi are new to the force and have to contend with a villainess who's threatening to poison the water, a robot bimbo-cop and a mean guy cop who thinks they're worthless for the meager reason that they didn't send backup when he was getting beat up (what a meanie). This film is just as worthless as the first one, if not more so. However,being a HUGE fan of "Bachelor Party" I liked Toni Alessandrini's minor part, showing more skin then in that great movie.

My Grade: D+

DVD Extras:Director's commentary;Interviews ;filmographies for Linnea Quigley and Jayne Hamil; and theatrical Trailer (which features nudity)

Eye Candy: Ginger Lynn Allen as Holly, Linnea Quigley as Didi, and Toni Alessandrini as Aphrodite each get topless

Good news is this one is just as good as the first one. Bad news is the first one wasn't good. Holly Wells (Ginger Lynn Allen) and Didi (Linnea Quigley) have graduated and are now vice cops. Problem is they must work as a team or will get the job of going undercover as a prison inmate.This time around the villain is Spanish Fly (Marina Benvenga) and she plans to taint the water supply for the city of L.A.

Has the same title song as the original, which ain't a bad song, but you'd think writer/director Rick Sloane could get a different song. Same actors playing in different roles. Looks like they might have had fun making these movies, but it is almost like torture to sit through.

The feud between "Holly Wells" (Ginger Allen) and "Didi" (Linnea Quigley) continues in this second film of the "Vice Academy" series with each being warned by their boss, "Miss Devonshire" (Jayne Hamil) that there will be severe consequences for them if they cannot work together as a team. Both reluctantly agree but one influential person in their department by the name of "Officer Petrolino" (Scott Layne) insists upon their immediate termination. So, in an effort to capture a notorious criminal named "Spanish Fly" (Marina Benvenga) both Holly and Didi are compelled to work together while at the same time try to appease the sex-starved Officer Petrolino as well. It's either that or go undercover at a prison. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film suffered from its rather obvious low-budget and incredibly weak script. Admittedly, there were a couple of humorous moments here and there with the scenarios involving the switchboard operator named "Jeannie" (Jo Steele) being the best in my opinion. However, everything went downhill rather quickly when the robot, "Bimbocop" (Teagan Clive) was introduced and the film never fully recovered after that. In short, this movie had potential but failed to attain it and my (somewhat generous) rating reflects this conclusion. Slightly below average.

This sequel to the original "Vice Academy" is even duller and more incomprehensible than the first. There *may* be more plot here, but it is told so badly that it doesn't involve you at all, and thus you can't even follow it from scene to scene.

The overarching narrative, if it can be said to have one (it really doesn't) seems to involve a bad girl called Spanish Fly who wants to spike the town's water supply with an aphrodisiac. Linnea Quigley and Ginger Lynn Allen, no longer members of the academy (so why does the word "academy" appear in the title?) apparently have to go undercover as strippers to catch the bad girl. That is allegedly the main story, but they only appear as strippers for about one scene, as does the main antagonist. So what is the rest of the movie? Sketches without punchlines? That's as good as I can get to explaining it.

There is a subplot this time about a misogynistic, hunky male cop who looks more like a stripper in his cop outfit than Quigley and Allen. Indeed, he probably spends more of the movie undressed, at one stage confronted by Quigley in the men's locker room, who rips off his towel, exposing his bare butt to the camera, and his groin to her, so that she can mock his lack of manhood. Later on, he is stripped to his bikini underwear and chained up in a BDSM type scenario, ensuring that this movie will only ever be watched or remembered by fans of humiliation themed fetish porn.

Remember how in the first "Vice Academy" there was a feeling like the cast and crew were having more fun making the movie than you were watching it? Like the whole thing was a private joke on their behalf, like they thought the whole movie was so ridiculous as to be funny without needing any jokes? Being a sequel, there's less of that this time around - it was obviously only made to cash in on the first - but this time there is a joke character in the form of female bodybuilder Teagan playing a character called "BimboCop", who is, indeed, supposed to be a kind of robot, complete with a synthesised voice.

I bet their sides split when they came up with that one.

The original Vice Academy was a staple of my late night movie watching as a kid thanks to USA Up All Night, but I never got around to see this sequel until last night. It's a perfectly acceptable and occasionally fun sequel with Linnea Quigley and Ginger Lynn Allen still giving it their all and camping it up as Didi and Holly - two new police recruits who don't seem to know how to do anything. They have to keep proving their worth by tracking down and apprehending perps that the regular police force can't, which was, more of less, the same concept as the original film, except this time they've graduated and are a part of the force.

As expected, there's a good deal of T 'n A, but it never comes across as sleazy as it should, because the film mostly focuses on the comedy aspects. It's light, silly, and absolutely ridiculous, but the filmmakers and cast keep things lively and it's very entertaining if you don't forget to turn off your brain and go along for the ride.
