Amanda by Night 2

Jack Remy directs this follow-up to the classic, and manages to get Veronica Hart to appear in a non-sex role. That's about all there is to tie this with the first film though, as call girl Krista Lane gets mixed up in a murder investigation when detective Robert Bolluck braces her for help. Problem with this one is that by '88 adult was playing it pretty safe, so there are little sleazy thrills to be found and it plays out pretty straight. Thankfully the actual sex scenes are all good with lead Lane doing a great job holding the film together and having secret weapon Nina Hartley in the cast certainly helps. So while this one isn't a failure by any means, those looking for hardcore thrills should find them here, it does have the problem of having a huge shadow cast over it from the classic original that it just can't overcome.
