Roberta , a Hollywood director bangs her head and finds herself in Sherwood Forest in ye days of olde where everyone she knows in Hollywood is duplicated .

This plotline instantly reminded me of the 1970 DOCTOR WHO story Inferno where the Doctor finds himself in an alternative universe where everyone he knows back on Earth is duplicated as a fascist alter-ego . However while Inferno was a telefantasy plot at its very best VIRGINS OF SHERWOOD FOREST is a soft core porn film so we can forget all about phrases like " Convincing location in Nottinghamshire " and " Good acting performances " and boy can we forget all about " High concept plot " because it`s a soft core porn film . We should also forget all about anachronisms like silicone implants and thongs in ye days of olde , but at least the actresses Gabriella Hall , Shannan Leigh and Amber Newman are very fit so no complaints from me

An unoriginal parody, average plots and bad acting accompanied by beautiful women with impeccable physiques, is a formula that anyone should use to make an interesting and new movie.

I honestly think that the acting level of many of these young women was average or bad, but they were in the spotlight because they had what was needed for this type of movies, good physique and excellent face. Nothing personal or critical, but I think it is necessary to focus on that that is why these types of films were a resounding success.

A short budget is also an element to support the previous factors, as they help much more to make women more noticeable and attract much more attention. That's why I think many of these movies are as successful as they were at the time.

The only thing I can highlight in this case is that there are excellent regular shots and effects, which promise a lot compared to many films.

I remember first watching this movie when Craig Morgan brought it into school. At first I thought like everyone else it was funny, bit of a laugh, banter. How wrong was I! When it was 'my turn' to borrow the VHS for the weekend I just thoroughly enjoyed it. I probably enjoyed it too much in fact. I even watched it when my friends came over and I pretty much ignored them the whole time they were there. To sum up this is my favourite film and I just want everyone to know really.

"Virgins of Sherwood Forest" is like a Robin Hood-themed fancy dress party in a frat house. Sure, it's got all the merry men (and women!), but they seem more focused on their merry-making than any actual robbing from the rich.

The acting quality varies like the stock market, one moment it's up, the next it's down, but hey, who needs Oscar-winning performances when you've got scenes that look like they've been shot in your aunt's garden?

Budget-wise, think more 'a handful of change' rather than 'bags of gold'. The film somehow manages to turn it into an endearing quality - imagine Robin Hood made by enthusiastic film students.

And the adult content? Well, it's less 'romantic stolen kiss under the Greenwood Tree' and more 'repeatedly hitting you in the face with a bawdy innuendo stick'.

So, if you like your classic tales full of low-budget high-jinks, "Virgins of Sherwood Forest" might just be your Holy Grail. Just don't expect an epic historical saga. Or anything close to it.

Typical soft-core fare with a heaping course of Shannan Leigh who I happen to enjoy very much due to her "acting" abilities and personal qualifications. Other visual treats include Amber Newman and Gabrielle Hall.
