Featured reviews
The year was 1988, I happened to visit a rotten bully/forced friend of mine at 14, and he showed me this movie to haunt me for the rest of my life. The version I saw was actually dubbed in some European language, French, German, Swiss, I am not sure, but it came to be fondly remembered by my class mates as " The French". The car scene that started it out has to be the most intensely erotic encounter I have ever experienced on celluloid. Just looking at Gayle Sterling's facial expressions while she is having sex with Ron Jeremy were enough to bring me to a climax! Throw in Stephanie Taylor/Laurie Smith in the car's backseat with them, and you have the hottest threesome of that era. Adding to sexual excitement vastly are Gayle Sterling's outfit and the arm choker and hairdo, along with her consummate cock sucking skills and intense eye contact she makes with Jeremy along with some serious kissing. For me, she is the stand-out performer in the entire movie, the rest to come just a quick browse-over. Like I said, got into my head at 14 and never got out. Am 45 now.
Shuana's scene with John Leslie is one of the dirtier scenes that she has done. Throw in another one with her and Joey Silvera. Laurie Smith looks great, even in the back of a dark car with a hedgehog(Ron Jeremy), and Laura Lozare's scene with John was also very good.
When it comes to big budget porn films, Suzie Superstar has a lot to offer. It's a very fun movie with some good sex scenes. The intentional humor is funny, and it works well as a laughably bad movie in places, especially during the music scenes. Good god is that some horrible music, and what on earth is going on with the keyboard player?
But this movie is definitely bad in a good way. It's a real look at what a porno can be if the cast has some fun and gets to spend at least a few bucks.
Even with the sex scenes, most are done quite well, adding something new and interesting rather than just doing 5 minutes of generic porno sex. The non-sex scenes tend to add to the sexual energy, creating a bit of a back story to why the characters are having sex that often enhances the actual sex scene.
Ultimately, this is just a fun movie. One of the better porno-with-a-plot films I've ever seen.

This, my friends, in when porn was porn...Suzie Superstar looked as if it actually may have had a budget & writers who knew how to write a story! Shauna Grant is truly one of the most beautiful performers that has ever worked in the adult industry & although she couldn't act her way out of a paper bag, you can see that she's giving it her best shot in this one... For those of you interested in this type of film, this is a very good study in the type of "story + porno" films Burt Reynolds was trying so hard to make in "Boogie Nights" It's also highly recommended to any fans of Shauna Grant, a shining star who burned out too quickly...it would be interesting to see what she would be doing today had things been different...hmmm.
Great early 80's porno...again, they just don't make them like that anymore!

Although Shauna Grant had a definite distaste for the movies she did, her "disgust" comes through as pure ecstasy in this film.
