Penthouse Satin & Lace II: Hollywood Undercover

After the less than stellar first title, my hope was director Andrew Blake & Penthouse would learn from their mistakes. Unfortunately the sequel 'Satin & Lace II Hollywood Undercover' is a case in yes & no. The quota of female nude visuals has certainly gone up and the whole thing uses Pets only. Yet it's still weighed down by terminally short scenes a big part of the director's style.

Typical montage intro complete with title card, female narrator sets things up (1.5 mins). "The Forbidden Image 1910" has a artificial banged up, scratched look to the footage as Pet Stevie Jean strips, wiggles around on some rocks at night. "The Silent Stars 1924" sees a silent film being shot as two Pets (Janine Lindemulder, Jiam Dion) are shown partially naked lounging around (2 mins). Quick interlude of Pets before "The Golddigger 1933" with a blonde (Pet Jisel) in a shiny outfit surrounded by mirrors. Nice visuals here - tons of spreading her legs - but the entire thing is in B&W (1.5 mins).

"Publicity Pose 1910" nails a pinup style of old as Pet Susan Napoli poses nude in sepia tone (30 secs). "The Legend in New York 1955" is a blonde (Pet Robin Brown) on a rooftop initially heavy on tease it does finally deliver the naked goods albeit up until this point in sepia tone. Street level we switch over to color as she flashes the camera some more which continues into a park in the grass. The nude visuals and a Marilyn Monroe look / vibe to the lady score it points (3.5 mins). "The Studio Between Takes" is the backlot you caught in pieces during the montage opening. Pets (Jami, Stevie, Seana Ryan, Janine) in various costumes that supply a few nice closeups, but it's Seana & Jami who get the most focus (2.5 mins). "Nickelodeon Dancer 1898" is more artificially banged up footage as Pet Dominique Simone twirls around briefly showing off her ample bosom and kitty near the end (1 min).

"Leg Art 1942" sees Pet Leslie Glass quickly get out of a red dress and nude in a big red chair. Some great shots of her body but over very quick (30 secs). "Private Screening" is a legit movie theater as Pets (Julie Strain, Dominique, Susan, Jisel) watch an adult film (Bianca Trump getting felt up for those who wonder) and get turned on, touch themselves / each other (4 mins). "The Outlaws 1943" goes for a western movie motif as Pets Jami, Stevie show you their goods laying on a haystack or by a saloon (2 mins). "The Goddess" keeps a classic movie theme running as a Jisel plays chess with her man in sepia tone and then shown naked on a couch or walking down a hallway afterward (2.5 mins). Another fast interlude before "The Screen Test 1949" has Seana as the actress in question quickly solo strip for the camera. The colors get played with and not all of the shots are of the nude variety, but all in all it's solid (4 mins).

"Leg Art 1953" is Jisel playing with a beach ball on a set with very quick closeups of her butt, boobs and fully nude from a distance (40 secs). "The Epic 1938" returns to the classical movie theme as Susan drops out from her vintage dress in a chair hitting some nice poses / shots (1.5 mins). "Portrait Sitting 1940" is exactly what it states, but allows Leslie to drop out from her dress (2 mins). "The Legend, Part II, New York City 1995" returns to Robin laying indoors naked on a couch and has the kind of shots of her body - many in closeup - you want. It makes it's way to a bed, but the nice shots continue (3.5 mins). A quick interlude with Pets outside a warehouse (30 secs).

"30's European Sensation" allows Jisel in a white wig to get naked in B&W before thankfully it switches over to color (3 mins). "60's B-Movie Starlets" has a cheesy lite sci-fi theme as Seana, Stevie show off their bodies (1 min). "The Cat, 1958" sees a bed strip from Susan and the heavy focus on her kitty must be the "cat" they're referring to (2.5 mins). "Backstage Glamour" is more backlot footage as Julie Strain shows it off completely in quick but enjoyable fashion (45 secs).

"The Vamp" shows off Stevie fast, but it's quick and pay no mind to the silly theme (1 min). "Star Treatment" sees blondes Jisel & Robin making out in a dressing room (2 mins). "Underground Celebrity" is "legend" blonde (Robin) flashing in the subway (25 secs). "The Sweatergirl 1957" is Jami completely nude on a bed for the majority of time before naked in the kitchen briefly and flashing her kitty on a couch (4.5 mins). "The Legend, Part III Hollywood, 1962" has Robin get into a pool then shown nicely nude when she gets out. A nude photoshoot with plenty of nice shots wraps things up (3.5 mins). "20's Erotic Beauty" is Jami naked showing off her body and then Stevie Jean topless (45 secs). "90's Erotic Star" is Janine in front a long line of tv screens I saw in 'Pets 30:60' however she gets shown off nicely (2.5 mins).

I didn't enjoy my viewing of the first 'Satin & Lace' because of Blake's choices. Definitely felt like he lost control and while his brand of style, terminally short scenes continue on here at the very least 'Satin & Lace II Hollywood Undercover' got my juices flowing and that's all you can ask for. Consider this a step up and a decent watch.
