When you're a natural born Aphrodite on the run from sadistic drug dealers, there's only one place to hid - the dingiest bar in town. That's just what luscious, leggy Tamra does, but she can't lay low for long: when the jukebox starts playing she's got to move to the beat. In the blink of an eye, Tamra seduces the bar owner and turns the joint into the most outrageous strip club this side of Vegas. When her violent past finally catches up with her, you can be sure this modern day Salome stays on top!

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Woodyanders Luscious and leggy, yet cunning and hence dangerous temptress Jessica Cross (the ever-foxy Maria Ford in peak deliciously devious and deceitful form) convinces struggling bar owner Mitch Goodman (a solid and likable performance by Matt Preston) to hire her. After saving Mitch's floundering business by coming up with a highly profitable strip act, Jessica seduces the poor sap and persuades Mitch to bump off his miserable alcoholic wife Carolyn (a perfectly bitchy portrayal by D.S. Case). Director Dave Payne, working from a dark and tawdry script by Christopher Wooden, relates the engrossingly seamy story at a snappy pace while also delivering oodles of tasty nudity and a few of steamy soft-core sex scenes. Naturally, Ford totally burns up the screen with several incredibly hot and creative striptease routines which she choreographed herself. Better still, both the gorgeously voluptuous Nikki Fritz and the delectably petite Jane Stowe strut their sizzling stuff on stage. The sound acting by the capable cast keeps this movie humming, with especially praiseworthy supporting contributions from Kevin Alber as no-count scuzzball Joey Watkins and Bob McFarland as pesky corrupt DEA agent Sam Ridley. Harry C. Box's sharp cinematography and the moody score by Eric & David Wurst are both up to speed. Recommended viewing for Maria Ford fans.
dexterslade Yes this is another low budget New Horizons Home Video. However, this film does surpass Paul Vorhoeven's Showgirls on every level. Maria Ford's choreography puts Marguerite Derricks' choreography from Showgirls and even Striptease with Demi Moore to shame, and the film never makes the mistake of taking itself too seriously. Some better sound quality would have been helpful, yet one shouldn't expect anything spectacular from a New Horizons release. Ms. Ford also proves she has made improvements as an actress. Far better than her other films in which she has played a character working at a strip club (ex. the forgettable Stripteaser).
