Michael Raven spins his wheels pointlessly with "Flash", one of many porn videos shot in the wake of the mainstream success of "Fast and the Furious" as well as the more similarly themed "Gone in 60 Seconds". It's one of his weakest Sin City Entertainment releases.
Asia Carrera stars in the title role (most of the cast are given cutesy character names, but I was thrilled that Sin City gives screen credit to even the briefest of NonSex roles) of an ex-con telling her story in flashback about a career of boosting expensive cars. Her lover and nemesis (she took the rap while he went free) is Dale DaBone, suave and handsome as ever in a nothing role.
Opening 10-minute sex scene for the duo is strictly softcore, a very strange pre-credits device in the James Bond tradition of starting the show with a lengthy separate teaser sequence. With no full nudity, no cock showing, no penetration and no money shot, this footage is inexplicable in a XXX Sin City release, almost as if the DVD had been edited erroneously, with a cable-ready softcore angles version of the scene accidentally included in the otherwise hardcore version.
Many crew members and extras are included on screen as Dale, named "Chase Steal" (hardy har har) rounds up his team to steal a large number of autos in a single night for South American kingpin Enrique (Steven St. Croix as a smooth bad guy). April brightens up the show as a computer hacker and various other beauties, all billed with just one name a la Cher or Madonna, brighten the supporting femme cast. IMDb got the credits all wrong, not realizing that Monique was actually Monique Alexander at the beginning of her career (doing strictly girl/girl scenes, here opposite Sin City regular Jassie), and calls an actress named Jade as Kianna Dior, who she doesn't resemble at all. I'm fixing this credit to refer instead to Jade Hsu.
One attractive red sports car is shown, but Raven fails to deliver any cars in motion action, reducing the film to sex only. Story is boring, and plot twists unconvincing and pointless, adding up to a bummer.
