Insatiable II

This should have been an outstanding X rated film, and should have been a great send-off to "Aunt Peg", Juliet Anderson, in one of her last roles. But it was not to be. Newcomer Shanna McCullough does some nice work as a firecrotch schoolgirl having same sex relations with her sister & a threesome with her mother's boyfriend. Every viewer's blood pressure must have been racing, thinking Mom would make it four at some point. But that didn't happen, in another missed opportunity. Janey Robbins, circa 1984, with her shaved vi-jay & piercings, had become way more slutty than sexy, and her scene with Craig Roberts is only partially redeemed by having it be a fantasy which Juliet is masturbating to in the shower. When you'd rather watch a 40 something woman play with herself than actual carnal relations, it tells you how lousy a scene is. None of Marilyn's scenes are especially arousing, in fact a B &D scene with Jamie Gillis is actually pretty "deflating". And another is lifted from "Insatiable", so it's been seen already. But all that pales in comparison to the dude who was touted as some great new "discovery", Robbie Dee, here making his first-and last-X rated appearance. Floppy, limp & envious of a stiff wind, the filmmakers nonetheless pair him with Marilyn not once but twice, the second time in a threesome with Juliet which is completely ruined by his inability to perform. (The first scene with Marilyn is at least partially saved by bringing in some help from the proverbial bullpen. It's obvious that what is known in the business as a "stunt c**k" was used. So an X rated film which features legends Marilyn Chambers & Juliet Anderson is really only worth watching because of Shanna McCullough. (And her lesbian scene with her on screen sister should have been longer, too.)

Poor sequel to the classic INSATIABLE. Interestingly, the original LaserDisc release was encoded in 4-Channel CBS SQ Quadraphonic Sound and bore the Tate-II Stereo Surround logo - it was meant to be decoded with the Fosgate Tate-II DES decoder (Directional Enhancement System). Reber-Ruggles productions did the SQ encoding as they owned the rights to the Tate-II SQ decoding system at that time - they also encoded the LaserDisc and Beta Hi-Fi versions of Dolly Parton Live In London and David Bowie Serious Moonlight. The Tate-II DES, while developed for CBS SQ Quadraphonic decoding was originally used by Dolby in their theatrical Dolby Stereo theater decoders until they developed their own decoding system in the mid-1980's.

Insatiable II (1984)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Sandra Chase (Marilyn Chambers) agrees to do an interview where she will share some of her sexual secrets. Soon she's teaching the interviewer a few new lessons.

INSATIABLE was one of the greatest porn movies in the history of the genre and a real landmark. This sequel isn't nearly as good but if you're a fan of Chambers then I'm sure there's enough here to keep you entertained. The story itself is pretty generic and I'd argue that the entire production just has a rather cheap feel to it. Whereas the first film was trying to be something good, this one here just seems to be trying to get some quick cash.

With that said, Chambers is obviously the main reason to watch this as she once again really lets herself go and comes across as a wild and crazy gal in the bed. I'm not sure if the sex scenes were just really her or if she was acting it up but it really does seem as if she's loving them, getting pain from them and just completely enjoying them, which is I'm sure another reason she was so popular (outside of her beauty).

The sex scenes are good for the most part and we even get a flashback to the pool table sequence from the first movie. Chambers appears in a fetish sequence with Jamie Gillis and the film closes out with a threesome.

The version I am reviewing was edited for cable, so there was a lot of scenes cut from the movie. Regardless, it is an entertaining sequel to the classic "Insatiable" movie. Marilyn's over-the-top acting makes this movie stand out from some of the others of it's time. In this movie, Sandra Chase is to be interviewed by a magazine reporter on her life. In true Sandra Chase fashion, she shows and the reporter, and a photographer the carnal side of her life, all in classic '80s fashion! For fans of classic adult cinema, this one is worth renting or buying.

This film is made up of scenes from, I suppose, Insatiable I, perhaps? The scenes with Juliet Anderson are the best, however. Her interest with same sex pleasure is perhaps genetically brought on, as her two daughters have a go at one another in which we see was not their first tryst. Her artful curiosity and Marilyn's wanton pursuit make for some hot scenes. Actual dialog and authentic guttural moanings are a plus and now almost entirely absent. A funny scene in which we see the two sisters beginning to get aroused with one another in the kitchen and spy see a box of Ivory Soap on the counter beside them. Nice point of reference, no?
