Vice Girls

surprisingly enjoyable pulp, with two female cops using designer-camera-bra's to catch a killer would-be porn-director with a hand-held camera. it even indulges in some pro-female pleasure scenes. it's more enjoyable than many a mainstream movie that takes itself too seriously.

After having read the other reviews, I have to wonder: Is this movie *really* worth spending 83 minutes on? Here's my story: Liat Goodson caught my eye one day from the cover of the "Vice Girls" DVD. Some months later, I found it for a good price and decided to take a chance. I watched most of the movie at 8x speed because the only reason I bought it was to see Goodson. Naked. Which never happened. Sure, she looked fantastic in that red vinyl dress and her accent is killer, but where's the payoff? I guess I should have been more diligent about finding one of those celebrity nudity databases first.

So while I doubt that the comedic value of the movie will offset my disappointment, maybe it's worth another look. Probably not.

Lana Clarkson is Jan Cooper a recently promoted but freshly off the wagon drunk of a cop. She finds herself paired with two other vice girl cops to catch the people who murdered Jan's homeless friends. The acting is atrocious, the plot overly silly, and the 'action' insipid. This film makes "Vice Academy" look like "Vice Squad". Even the plentiful nudity can't save this sorry little film from the trash heaps of celluloid history. ONLY for overly enthusiastic fans of the late Lana Clarkson, everyone else just move along, there's nothing to see here. There I've just saved you your valuable time and money.

My Grade: F

Not the greatest film of this era but not the worse - it reminded me of a lower budget version of the 80's classic 'Road House' in looks and vibe - although the female characters are not as tough as Patrick Swayze and there is very little action after the initial fight scene. Lana shines as a tough cop who doesn't play by the rules, but her two companions aren't quite as interesting.

This is probably one of those films that was made quickly and cheaply, but had more thought and time been put into it then it would have been much better.

This film has some very ironic scenes for Lana Clarkson, considering what would happen to her in real life :-

There are a couple of scenes with Lana getting kinky in a nightclub toilet cubical - with her gun and handcuffs brought into play.

There is a scene where she busts a 'snuff picture' being filmed and is angry to find a woman has been shot in the head for cheap thrills (she turns out to be alive afterwards).

The most ironic scene is near the end - where Lana is kidnapped by the psychotic baddie - who wears a dated suit, has a mop of hair and looks very much like Phil Spector! He waves his gun in Lana's face as she is tied to a chair and she tells him how sick and twisted he is!

My feeling so sorry for poor Lana has possibly clouded my viewing experience of this film, but generally I'd say this is a mild yet entertaining B-movie 'action film' of its time - but with little action a bit lacking on thrills. I'd recommend it to fans of the late great Lana Clarkson only.

The film was great everyone should watch it the script was not that great but who ever produced this movie was an asset to the film because it made a lot of money for a very small investment. It was clear that the budget was not as great as it could have been but this movie took a good shot at making something from nothing. The acting was good in parts but you can't overlook the talent. The Director had a good vision of the project and stuck to it. I give this movie a B+. I meet the producers of this movie and they were really good at what they did creating an enjoyable set to be on.Three sexy cops hit the streets and go undercover -- and under the covers! -- to infiltrate a murder in the pornography industry. Can these lovely ladies avoid getting too wrapped up in the roles they play? Can they find the killer before he or she discovers that they're not the savvy sex stars they appear to be? From the actor/director who brought you ASSAULT OF THE PARTY NERDS and VIRGIN HIGH.
