The First Turn-On!!

My interest in this film was purely as a fan of Vincent D'Onofrio..and this is his first ever movie made at the tender age of twenty four. His role is small however, but his character is actually quite funny. He plays a psychotic,brainless teenager called Lobotomy..and oh, how his acting improved over the years! The film itself is a carry on movie meets Airplane! lots of silly humour and innuendo. It's set at a kids summer camp with dubious members of staff and centres around four teens and a dizzy blonde staff members stories of their first seductions..it is funny in parts but also very silly. It's not a bad film, just a piece of inane fluff.

I saw these little films on YT... produced by those geniuses at TROMA! I must say that I didn't expect anything different from what I saw: typical 80s TROMA trash film; sexy comedy Porky's Vacanziero style; stupid comedy with no point but which in the end is funny!

There is a small part of an unknown Vicent D'Onofrio, who plays the idiot of the group... The actors don't have any great experience; but they are sexy and the erotic scenes are enjoyable.

Too bad Hertz didn't choose Madonna for the part of Annie... Imagine Madonna pre-fame in some sex scenes... If the film had been released with the same style as in the 80's, it would have been a great success!! Everyone at the time wanted to see Madonna naked!!

This is the last straight comedy produced by Troma before they found their niche in action/horror spoofs and the only film directed mostly by Michael Herz. Its a very sophomoric and amateur take off on Porky's and Meatballs 2 designed to be zany and irreverent. Troma's early comedies all suffer from sleaze, grime and laziness, but they usually have a redeeming sly sense of satire and a fun cartoon logic thanks to Lloyd Kaufman. "Turn On" then is very interesting Troma fans as they can see just what Herz' contributions were before he stopped teaming with Kaufman. Herz directs "Turn On" with a humanist energy. His actors are happy and free and he pays no attention to blocking or coverage. He's all about performances. The later Troma films are missing this naturalistic acting style and the sensuality Herz seems obsessed with. Kaufman is definitely a better director of action and comedy but maybe Troma would've grown stronger with Herz's style still complimenting Lloyd's.

The first turn on is a sexy comedy directed by Lloyd Kaufman & Michael Herz and stars Georgia Harrel, Michael Sanville, Googy Gress? John Flood, Heidi Miller, Sheila Kennedy and Vincent D'onofrio

The movie is based on the stories of first sex experience of campers stuck in a cave.

This is not a good movie in any context but a fun sex comedy. It's has it's own good punch lines and humour but disappoints majorly.

The acting is nice but editing and screenplay is bad. So as the background music which is sometimes too high and doesn't supports the original screenplay. The pace of the movie is good.

Overall a ok movie which could've good provided with more refined work of editing and screenplay. You can watch if you are fan of adult sex comedies

Even though this movie is an "80s" movie, it still stands out a bit on its own. It's a raunchy sexually charged teen flick that has grown adults who are hard pressed to pass as teenagers, well, acting as teenagers.

This flick is a mindless, offbeat teen entertainment sprinkled with sexual stimulus throughout. It does what it does. They don't hand out Academy awards for this type of movie.

This was probable the 1st rated R movie I ever saw. I was about 9 years old at the time. And cable tv then had a button on the remote that would unscramble whichever 'Pay Per View' movie you wanted to see and it charge your monthly bill. However, I had discovered if you didn't watch more than 30 seconds at a time, you would never get charged. This movie had me coming back in 30 second bits until I saw it all. My only complaint was how they got out of the cave. Just when things were getting the most interesting. I the movie could have been 5 minutes longer at the end.

I see a few reviewers mentioning how ugly the women are in the movie. Not only do I disagree, I find that just an excuse to be mean to people. These women rock it on camera. This movie holds a special place in my erotic comedy heart. And I come back to it from time to time. I don't do that with a lot of movies.
