'International Playmates' presents beautiful women from all over the world who were chosen to be Playmates in their regional editions of Playboy. It's a good idea, but bare in mind that this came out in 1993 when videos had the habit of being tame. A standard intro tells you the upcoming countries featured then each lady appears in roughly the same format. Interview, pictorial, actual scene(s). The quality of the visuals jumps back and forth.
"Christina - Brazil" starts things off looking fantastic as she steps into an outdoor shower while wearing a white dress shirt. It slowly gets removed as you get the odd nice shot intercut with her dancing with a guy in a nightclub. Highlighting the problem I mentioned off the top. Not enough consistent nudity (4.5 mins). "Ting & Martina: Window Fantasies" Ting was Taiwan's first Playmate and smokes a cigarette, gets naked laying on a couch as Martina dressed in a business suit watches her from outside and goes topless herself (2 mins). "Ting - Taiwan" has her posing by a statue at night (2.5 mins).
"Cida - Brazil" poses against some rocks and then on the beach with a colorful sheet never completely nude (2 mins). "Kim - Holland" plays a harp, rubs a rose over herself. You can see a nipple thru her top, but no real nudity (1.5 mins). "Diana - Holland; Diana & Kim: The Dungeon" strips aggressively against a wall with fishnet stockings, gets oiled up with an odd soundtrack playing. She's then joined by Kim who holds Diana by the throat and shines a flashlight in her face (almost 3 mins).
"Angelique - Holland" plays a cat burglar who tries on some clothes, perfume and then finally gets naked before joining the couple asleep in bed (4.5 mins). "Kelly - Australia" lays in the sand nude, a little tug of war and then posing in shallow water (2 mins). "Sarah - Germany" dons a variety of clothing in quick shots supplying minimal nudity (2 mins). "Ting & Sarah: Dining Out" at restaurant get silly. Pull each others tops down and put noodles on each others chest. Worthless scene (3 mins).
"Sarka - Czechoslovakia" was also her country's first Playmate. She roams a mansion before semi topless on the floor. She appears quite busty. Now at night she wanders down a path but the sights haven't improved (3 mins). "Diana: Schoolgirl" has her dressed in a private schoolgirl uniform at a desk. She stands and strips down to matching white bra and stockings underneath while the shadow of a male teacher becomes shocked and faints (almost 2 mins).
"Teresa - Australia" goes poolside in a yellow bikini and quickly topless in an underwater shot which we get many of. She swims and poses nude (2 mins). "Kelly & Teresa: Restless Natives" are nude in the jungle with makeup on to make them appear cat-like (2.5 mins). "Martina - Germany" spends her back to us nude laying upright before getting naked in a mansion providing a brief look at her (3 mins).
"Kim & Diana: Old Fashioned Bath" take turns bathing and feeling each other up (2.5 mins). "Sarka: Lounging in Silk" her earlier appearance gave me the impression she was quite naturally busty but this scene spells it out as she pours out of a gown getting naked. Some really good shots for once (3 mins). "Cristina & Cida: On the Beach" change into dresses, serve up some fleeting nudity, dance to music (3 mins).
"Angelique & Diana: The Watchtower" Angel strips in a castle intercut with Diana walking up a winding staircase and getting topless as it ends (3 mins). "Ting: The Interrogation" is done by a bald German man in a dark trashy warehouse. Rather than provide the taped confession he wants, she does a quick striptease (3 mins). "End Credits" shows some new footage. Sight of Sarka's boobs in two clips is the highlight (1 min).
'International Playmates' was really in need of a better editor. Bouncing around only helps to highlight how little nudity is shown at times. It's refreshing to see ladies of different cultures as opposed to the norm we typically get from Playboy (blondes and typically a lot of them), but this video has a hard time being consistently satisfying which is a shame.
