Taboo II

Admittedly, I haven't seen the first in this somewhat notorious series of adult films, so perhaps I'm missing something. While the first and the third films focused on Kay Parker's Barbara Scott and her sons, this one concerns the family of Sherry McBride, portrayed by Dorothy Le May who apparently played a girlfriend character in the original Taboo. (This film, incidentally, was Le May's last adult film, though some she'd made earlier were released after it.)

While there are some touches of realism -- Sherry initially reacts with horror and disgust to the news that her old boyfriend has been having sex with his own mother -- they are of course subverted by the need to have as much sex in the film as possible. (A bit of dialogue between Sherry and Barbara, indicating that she's still not happy that the other woman stole her boyfriend, even though she's willing to have sex with her, might have improved matters.) Another nice touch is the lengthy, increasingly inebriated monologue that Honey Wilder's character, the mother of incestuous siblings Junior and Sherry, gives after discovering what they're up to, in which she gradually talks herself into having sex with her son.

I've always found the first TABOO to be somewhat overrated. Kay Parker's scenes in that film are woefully inadequate in how they were shot and executed. Here, though, we get to see the mature and busty Kay in all of her glory, and it's a lot of glory. The film also ups the ante on the "taboo" aspect, as it has a whole family getting involved with one another sexually. Dorothy Le May as the daughter/sister is at her best here as well, and while her scene with her "brother" is a little lacking, her sex scene with "dad" while "mom" sleeps next to them, unaware, is absolutely scorching.

The film is one of the best of its type. Shot on film and with actual attempts at a plot and acting, there's very few of its type that compare.

Some of the greatest comedic dialogue you can find! Stuff like, "I don't know whether to cry or get a hard on" had me laughing so hard that I almost didn't notice the sex! This is porno at its best. Campy, gritty, funny, and raw. The girls are real (no silicone and gloss) the sex is real (straight forward and intimate), and Ron Jeremy is skinny- this is definitely not porn of today! Rent this with a cool chick who can appreciate a good campy movie and has an appreciation for film. Then get down with her during the swingers' orgy scene. This film rocks! And I do mean FILM, not some cheesy run of the mill dime a dozen adult videos that exist today. See it for the great comedy writing in the vein of the Zuckers, the Farrelys, and Trey and Matt (South Park).

Better than the first, Taboo II is the second part of the three film trilogy. A porn flick none the less, Taboo II is one of the all time XXX classics. With quality directing, a decent story, and convincing acting, Taboo II deserves to be in the all time best section with other films such as Debbie Does Dallas and Deep Throat. Keep your eyes open for a young Dorthy La Mey who is the star of the film. Unlike the majority of porn stars today, she can act.

I seem to remember that the original VHS release was approximately one hour and fifty minutes long. This movie is focused on Dorothy Lemay's family played by Eric Edwards(dad),Honey Wilder (in her best role as mom), and Kevin James as big brother. I can say without hesitation that this one is much better than the original "Taboo". There are nine scenes #1 Kay Parker, Juliett Anerson, and Kevin James. #2 James and Bambii. #3 James, Bambii, Lemay #4 Honey Wilder and Eric Edwards. #5 James and Lemay. #6 Wilder and James. #7 Humungous orgy featuring Parker, Anderson, Lemay and at least 15 extras. #8 Lemay and Edwards #9 Wilder and Edwards. The story is believable, but unlikely.
