Penetrator 2: Grudge Day

Nic Cramer was one of the major directors of porn in the VHS era, yet this impressive imitation of Cameron's biggie "Terminator 2" seems to have fallen by the wayside. It's fun to watch even though it's more ripoff than creative and not as good as his classic spoof "A Clockwork Orgy".

Melissa Hill won an award in her well-performed lead role, with Kaitlyn Ashley quite sexy as her daughter (not the son role of the original). Terminators Alberto Rey (the good one) and Jonathan Morgan (the bad one) are fine in wooden Schwarzenegger fashion, while Lovette is a very sexy MILF of a guard at the insane asylum where Hill is incarcerated. SPFX for Morgan transforming into Lovette's form for an exotic 3-way with 2 studs makes the usual sex-with-a-robot action kinkier than expected.

Nic tips the balance to sex over action scenes and the final reel is nearly all-sex, but there's enough patina of sci-fi to save this from degenerating into mere gonzo content. His illusion of production value is convincing, without the subsequent actual big budgets of such projects by his genre successor Brad Armstrong.
