Hot in the City

Billy Dee gives his usual flat performance; Tom Byron is believable as a biker; but without a doubt, Peter North is the stand-out performer of the film. The 'exterior' shots closely resemble a Los Angeles sound stage. Christy's acting is uneven but nonetheless she is quite enjoyable to watch.

"Hot in the City," offers a tantalizing glimpse into the world of love, betrayal, and new beginnings. This film is an enjoyable ride, albeit with some performance and production value inconsistencies.

The plot follows Christy Canyon's character as she escapes her cheating boyfriend by venturing into the city. This change of scenery forms the backdrop of her newfound freedom and the enjoyment that comes with it.

The performances in "Hot in the City" are a mixed bag. Billy Dee delivers a flat performance, typical of his style. However, Tom Byron shines with a believable portrayal of a biker, adding a layer of authenticity to the film. The real star, though, is Peter North, who steals every scene with a stand-out performance that elevates the entire production.

Christy Canyon, despite some unevenness in her acting, is a joy to watch. Her character's journey from a cheating boyfriend to discovering the joys of city life is entertaining and provides a unique perspective on female agency within this genre.

The film's 'exterior' shots leave something to be desired, clearly resembling a Los Angeles sound stage. However, this almost adds to the charm, creating a sense of artificiality that mirrors the escapist nature of the film.

"Hot in the City" is a fun and entertaining watch. While it may not be a masterpiece, it delivers an engaging story with memorable performances by its lead actors. With a 6/10 rating, it is a solid choice for viewers seeking a steamy and captivating escape.

So, if you're looking for a film that blends cheating boyfriends, biker gangs, and the allure of city life, "Hot in the City" is definitely one to check out. It will keep you entertained and might even leave you with a newfound appreciation for the power of fresh starts.

This was one of Christy Canyon's "comeback" vehicles. She's my all-time favorite adult movie star, and in this video looks great and performs with skill and enthusiasm. But there are big, big problems here.

I don't ask for much in the way of plot, acting, etc. in a XXX video; the action's the thing for me (and many others, too). But any viewer expects a certain amount of coherence and continuity in any production. The version of this tape I saw seemed to have been edited with a ceiling fan. It was as choppy in some places as some old kung fu movie playing on TV at 3AM! Also director Tina Marie (aka former adult actress Victoria Jackson) tries to use some different camera angles and shots, but they just don't work and take away from the action. A crucial shot is missed in one scene and another is obviously faked.

This video must have been released at a time of some controversy about X-rated films and their practices, because it's preceded by a lecture by some official-sounding woman attempting to justify it as some quasi-educational material, like something you would see or read in 1950's porn. THEN, unbelievably, certain profanities are actually edited out of the dialog! So you can watch them doing it, but you can't hear them saying it. Bizarre!

This video is a great disappointment to a huge fan of Christy Canyon. Buyers beware, there are scores of better products.
