Sort of a "The Two Towers" to Jackson's "Fellowship of the Ring" (just kidding), this second part of The Pyramid trilogy delivers solid group scenes, but the movie's story line stalls out. Yes, 25 years ago, the trend toward gonzo content overwhelming traditional storytelling was already in full flower.
Show opens with the showpiece harem orgy for corrupt government minister Alan Deloin, as promised at the end of Part One. Seven harem girls service him ar once, while a like number masturbate watching them, in a scene running at a length approaching that of current porn vignettes. Intercut is the film's only one on one sex scene, as an arriving military officer Jean-Yves Le Castel humps a blonde, Liga, nearby.
Deloin assigns Jean-Yves to arrest the treasure hunters, as he plans to keep the treasure for himself, and our heroines, the goddess Tania Russof and archaeologist Angelica Mirai end up in jail.
Mirai's husband David Perry and his pal Karim (Philippe Dean) return from gift-shopping to find the ladies gone, and they take time out to hump the hotel maid Demia Moor, who receives prominent billing, and delivers a d.p.
Meanwhile in jail, our heroines escape after a hot threesome with a guard (stealing his keys to their shackles and the cell). Perry & Dean's attempt to rescue them by recruiting some mercenaries in the desert is put on hold while they all have an orgy in a tent with a busty female mercenary (Shonna Lynn, quite a ringer in the cast, she being a porn actress from Vegas) plus a servant girl, Ana. Eating up lots of running time, this cheap tent set scene puts the lie to the movie's reputed million dollar budget.
Back to the jail cell, the shackled guard is taunted by two young cleaning ladies, who then service him with a threesome. Part Two ends with this guard caught in the act, and locked up officially by his superior, a lieutenant played by Julia Tchernei, who gets prominent billing, even though merely in a cameo role prior to prominence in Part Three.
So sex wins out here, and obviously given the movie's fame and success nobody was complaining. But its major or classic status is strictly a shuck.
