Ritmos da Madrugada

Unlike 99 percent of the "after-dark" films out there, this one actually has a plot and is actually watchable without the steamy sex scenes, which are also very good. The acting is decent, the cast is not bad (David Carradine), and the girls attractive. Pleasantly surprised.

I didn't give this movie a 10 for it's acting, it's script or it's music. I gave it a 10 because the lead character, Nick West (Martin Hewitt, apparently looking around the set for Brooke Shields) manages to have sex with every woman he meets in the film and have time to beat a murder rap. The story goes like this: Nick is sexy radio show host who likes to talk dirty to his female listeners and then go to the bar and have sex with them. One night he invites a listener down to the station and they have sex on the air. But...things go horribly wrong and Nick wakes up next to a dead listener with an audience who thinks he did it. He must run from the cops, clear his name and have sex with any woman who comes near him. Rounding out the master thespian cast are Delia Sheppard as his partner who he doesn't have sex with. Nick isn't really her type....if you know what I mean. This film has great sex scenes in the unrated version and a soundtrack with the sleaziest saxophone this side of a Jazz station. Great fun.

One of the better B-flicks from soft-porn director A. G. Hippolyte, involving a framed radio host and a few questions. The story is just simple enough to be acceptable, and sets the scene for some well-crafted short sexual encounters. A few that stand out involve the underrated, under-used Tracy Tweed; a ride-em threesome; and a sweet brunette. It would have been nice to see some more realism and thought put into the authenticity of the lesbian club - it was a bit false. Pure eye candy, but the good kind.

Gregory dark has directed quite a number of these erotic thrillers and in this one he delivers the goods. Nick West (Martin Hewitt) is a late-night radio host whose reputation for his sexy talk show has earned him legions of fans but also some enemies so when Nick is heard having sex with female fan Honey, (Tracy Tweed) on-air, his listeners are shocked when the moaning and groaning turns into choking and croaking. Nick goes on the run and with his barmaid girl friend Cinnamon, (Deborah Driggs) he has to trawl the sleazy haunts in search of clues.

This all leads to some great sex scenes, not forgetting of course the early scenes of a couple of his female fans pleasuring themselves as Nick seduces them over the air. The sex scenes are hot and feature girl/girl as well as a hot scene with Nick and Cinnamon. David Carradine also appears as Vincent, the psycho club owner - there's no Kung-Fu grasshopper here. However, it is the erotic scenes that viewers will be watching for and with the great eye-candy on show, this is one of the better films of the genre.

An erotic thriller, with emphasis on the "erotic". The plot is completely unbelievable, although the actors do a creditable job. Every woman in this movie is amazingly beautiful. There is a large number of (usually gratuitous, but very well done) sex scenes. There is one in particular that is off the erotic charts. I highly recommend it. You should absolutely positively get the unrated version. The Blockbuster version is missing many good bits.
