Debbie Does Dallas Part II

The innocent blonde teenager Debbie Benson (Bambi Woods) returns in Debbie Does Dallas: Part II, which picks up shortly after where its predecessor left us. Debbie and her friends have received money to travel to Texas to audition as cheerleaders for the Dallas Cowboys cheer squad thanks to discrete sex acts they performed for their bosses at their oddjobs. The film opens with Debbie telling a trucker (Robert Kerman from the original film) about the unfortunate circumstance that was her Dallas tryouts, saying she no longer has interest in cheerleading and wants to move on from that life. She winds up staying at her aunt's home before discovering her aunt owns a brothel in Texas, one of the most hoppin' joints in the state. Must I go further?

Debbie Does Dallas: Part II escalates much more quickly than its predecessor in addition to covering a bigger, more explicit ground. For example, before arriving at her aunt's home, Debbie is arrested and thrown in jail. The sheriff who keeps her behind bars demands she take off her top. "It's the law!," he shouts at her. She does. He then demands she take off her pants, and then her underwear, and then her socks, each time being met with Debbie's imperative "No!" only leading to the sheriff using the same justification. He then hops in the cell with her, "checking for drugs," and what ensues is some strangely-placed non-consensual sex (it should not be mistaken as rape, however).

This kind of sex has evolved into its own more brutal sub-genre of sex and it's one I'm not frankly amused with. Another scene of similar nature exists in the film which I don't plan on touching with a ten foot poll. I was in no way offended by the film's material, but I do see it as an abrupt and rather unnecessary jump from the loss of sexual innocence in the original film to awkward scenes exhibiting forceful encounters in the sequel.

The sex in the film is hit and miss. Some scenes, like the sex scene in the brothel, go on for an absurd amount of time and, unlike the original film, aren't directed with the same kind of light and intimacy. The brothel scenes are (a) too dark and shadowy and (b) feature tedious and boring sex, the kind so tame it may even be allowed in a burlesque show. It's nice to see Bambi Woods return in what would be one of her only roles in porn, or film in general, but it's depressing to note that she seems to be fulfilling an obligation or the needs of an empty wallet. There's little spark and energy to her, unlike the original.

The only thing potentially more memorable than the sex scenes here is the score. The infectious background music included in the film make for a more enjoyable experiences, somewhat arousing and inanely catchy. You know you're either bored or fulfilling the duties of a film critic when you point out the redeeming musical qualities in a pornographic film.

Also boasting a sex scene with Ron Jeremy (some will take that differently than others) and a winning nod to the original film at the end, Debbie Does Dallas: Part II is a mixed bag one can only recommend to seasoned fans of the first or those desperate for a stroll down memory lane.

Starring: Bambi Woods, Robert Kerman, and Ron Jeremy. Directed by: Jim Clark.

"Debbie Does Dallas Part II" is a raunchy and entertaining adventure that takes our titular character on a wild ride from the football fields of Texas to the confines of a jail cell. Directed by Jim Buckley and released in 1981, this sequel to the popular 1978 adult film "Debbie Does Dallas" strives to capture the magic of its predecessor, with mixed results.

The film stars Bambi Woods, who reprises her role as Debbie, along with Robert Kerman and Ron Jeremy. While the original film is considered a classic in the adult film world, known for its blend of cheerleading and eroticism, this sequel takes a different approach.

"Debbie Does Dallas Part II" abandons the cheerleading theme and instead focuses on Debbie's misadventures in jail. This shift in setting and tone may come as a surprise to fans of the first film, but it adds a layer of variety to the franchise. The jail setting provides a backdrop for steamy encounters and naughty antics, offering a fresh context for the adult scenes.

In terms of performance, Woods seems to struggle with her newfound fame. Her acting comes across as stiff and awkward, which is notable given that this is one of her few forays into adult entertainment. Other female cast members are mentioned as being more natural in front of the camera, leaving viewers curious about the industry's perception of talent and desirability.

The film's setting and scenery are commendable. Shot in a snowy Texas locale, the backdrop provides a visually appealing contrast to the steamy action unfolding within. However, the accuracy of this wintry Texas landscape might leave some viewers scratching their heads.

The plot of "Debbie Does Dallas Part II" takes a back seat to the explicit content. The film delivers on the adult themes, with a mix of solo, girl-on-girl, and heterosexual encounters. Ron Jeremy, a legendary figure in the adult film industry, graces the screen with his distinctive presence, adding a notable scene to the film's overall appeal.

Overall, "Debbie Does Dallas Part II" is a fun and frivolous addition to the adult film genre. It may not have the same cultural impact as its predecessor, but it offers a light-hearted and titillating experience. With a mix of humor and eroticism, this film is a guilty pleasure that caters to fans of vintage adult entertainment.

The original Debbie Does Dallas is somewhat considered a classic in it's own right; it's one of the entry level porn films, and I would assume that most teenage boys will have discussed it at some point or other in their school career; but the same cant be said for Debbie Does Dallas 2, or at least I don't think it can; I'm not really sure because the version I saw was cut down to seventy minutes and had a big oval blob in the middle of the screen every time there was a sex scene! I guess I got hold of a copy of the prudish version (thanks, BBFC). Of course you may wonder what I was thinking watching a porn flick with all the good bits cut out...and to be honest, I struggle for an answer to that question. Anyway, the plot has a lot of room for plenty of sex, and focuses on a brothel. Debbie (Bambi Woods reprising her role from the first film) goes to stay with her aunt who runs this brothel, and naturally wants to become one of its employees. From there it's basically country music and sex scenes; some of them looked like they may have been decent, I'm not really sure for the reasons already mentioned. I'll give the benefit of the doubt since the version I saw was chopped...but I probably won't bother tracking down an uncut version.

The orginal Debbie does Dallas was about a young lady becoming sexually mature. In this sequel after quitting her job as a Dallas cheerleader she visits her aunt's home. She quickly discovers her aunt runs a brothel, and Debbie becomes a working girl. I thought the plot was standard compared to other porno films. I remember this being first movie I saw Ron Jeremy in. Ron Jeremy, is nicknamed the "Aardvark" due to his hairy back and blue collar looks. Seeing the "Aardvark" having sex with Bambi Woods sends chills down my spine.

After watching this so-called sequel, one has to wonder if Debbie will ever get to do Dallas. In the one scene which goes some way to being comedic, she is abused by some hick lawmen. The gaol scene was probably funny when the film was made but now looks more like an abuse of power. Still, watching the nubile Bambi Woods has got to be one of life's guilty pleasures. In time she ends up at her aunt's ranch which just so happens to be the local brothel. Never mind though, Debbie knows how to please the customers.

Despite some tries at comedy, this is a porn film - the presence of porn stalwart Ron Jeremy should dispel all doubts on that matter. The main scene is actually a chamber in which the porn actors perform their dirty deeds while the customers watch from behind glass screens. The sex scenes are quite impressive for those who like this sort of thing and one scene in particular is more deep throat than Deep Throat. The ending of the film was unexpected but there was still the nagging feeling that this was more of a cobbled-together effort than anyone would admit.
