There used to be risks buying a title from Playboy or Penthouse. You didn't know the level of quality you were getting & reviews were sometimes hard to come by. Cashing in on the popularity of the tv show, 'Babes of Baywatch' is mostly recycled footage hence my point. The sole exception is host Traci Bingham who gets naked in two new scenes herself.
"Intro" has a word from Traci, pics of ladies & a montage of bikinis from other videos (2.5 mins). "Kelly Monaco" is first as the title card displays her role on Baywatch ... as a body double. She strips in a garage wearing overalls from working on a car and then up against a vintage ride. Kelly looks fantastic, but the footage is from her Playmate profile (2.5 mins).
"Traci Bingham" is on a beach in a Baywatch inspired red one piece bikini intercut with her in one of two dresses. It doesn't stop to give a continuous look at her naked until the 4 minute mark where it takes a breath and slows down allowing us to soak up her body a little bit better (6 mins). "Marliece Andrada" reads a letter & gets naked while a projector displays photos (3.5 mins). "Erika Eleniak" is shown getting naked from various clothing on a white set. You may already be familiar this material (2.5 mins).
The undisputed Queen of 'Baywatch', "Pamela Anderson" gets wet in a black top from pipes leaking overhead. I've now seen this in four Playboy titles (2.5 mins). "Donna D'Errico" takes off different clothes on either a red or white couch keeping with the color theme. Her in a a red top, skirt wearing leggings is the best (3.5 mins). "Playboy's Montage" has Traci name drop Playmates (Wendy Kaye, Barbara Moore, Carrie Jean Yazel, Julie Lynn Cialini, Elke Jeinsen) who are shown in quick individual moments because they had a role on the show (2.5 mins).
"Jenny McCarthy" is outdoors in a field barely dressed or naked supplying lots of goodness (2.5 mins). "Shannon Tweed" has her on the deck of a cruise ship reused (3.5 mins). "Traci Unwinds" is the host looking pretty damn good in blue lingerie or a see thru white bodysuit. Still not as many lingering shots as I would have liked, but a few closeups (6 mins). "Karin Taylor" gets shown poolside including nice underwater shots that's over far too soon (2 mins).
"Heidi Mark" has a good peek or two, but it goes by quick (2 mins). "Lisa Boyle" the only non-Playmate here besides Traci gets shown off in her backstage scene edited down & taken from 'Rising Stars & Sexy Starlets' (2.5 mins). "Blonde Babes" is another montage where Donna, Pamela but especially Jenny get featured again amongst other blondes (2 mins). "Lisa Marie Scott" is her reused dance studio segment (3 mins). In an odd choice, "Behind the Scenes" is the finale as Traci's pictorial gets shown being shot in Jamaica. There's a brief moment emphasizing her butt, but it doesn't make this terribly worthwhile (6 mins).
Playing devils advocate, I could say 'Babes of Baywatch' is a convenient package to see all these women naked in one place. The reality is it's a cheap move on Playboy's part - one they've repeated many times. Only the inclusion of new material from beauty Traci Bingham keeps me from rating this lower.
