ILLEGAL IN BLUE

Aspect ratio: 1.33:1

Sound format: Ultra-Stereo

Suspended from the force after making allegations of corruption and impropriety, a disgraced cop (Dan Gauthier) moonlights as a cabbie and becomes involved with a beautiful young woman (Stacey Dash) implicated in the murder of her husband.

Utterly routine 'erotic thriller', the kind of low-grade rubbish thats been gathering dust in video stores ever since the release of BASIC INSTINCT (1992). The film is only marginally redeemed by some extended sex scenes involving gorgeous Gauthier ("Tour of Duty") and delectable Dash (CLUELESS), both of whom generate a fair degree of heat under the direction of former hardcore specialist Stu Segall (who helmed the likes of PENELOPE'S EDUCATION, INSATIABLE and UP 'N COMING under the pseudonym 'Godfrey Daniels'). Aside from a gratuitous lesbian interlude (de rigueur for this sort of thing), the movie appears to be aimed at the couples market, which means there's an equal amount of male and female pulchritude on display, and it's a pleasure to watch these lovely young things going at it like jackhammers. Otherwise, this is the usual badly-scripted drivel, competent but uninspired on almost every level. Nice music score by Stephen Edwards.

Typical kinda situation where the cop, instead of being professional or even particularly smart, takes more than a professional interest in the suspect, with predictably sexy results.

I'd have to say the hotness of Stacey Dash is the best thing about this movie, the rest is simply filler. Much like what I'm writing now, as I need a minimum of 10 lines. The thing is, this movie is not so special that it warrants a full 10 line review. What could I possibly say about it? It's not particularly innovative or original, in fact it sticks to an age-old formula and is pretty forgettable. I'll say this, if you liked All The President's Men, you wont necessarily like this. Unless you think Stacey Dash is hot, in which case knock yourself out. I did.

'Illegal In Blue' is yet another one of those movies where an idiot with connections to law enforcement repeatedly sleeps with the main suspect. Who we know will probably turn out to be the killer. Yeah only in the movies. It's a T&A flick through and through with it's flimsy plot and it's not like the movie box told you otherwise.

I admit to liking the occasional T&A flick, but the setup they use here is stale. So many others have used it before (Basic Instinct, Snapdragon). It's tired. The guy never thinks with his brain and the female wraps him around her finger. This movie is no different. The cast goes through the motions and the directing is on auto-pilot. Not recommended even to fans of T&A flicks. Rent something else, something better.

I've been searching for 25yrs for a song from the soundtrack to this movie "Illegal in Blue" called "Echoes in the Wind" how or where can I find it?

Belva Haney performed it. Song cannot be found, it's like it never existed.

Obviously I'm nuts for this tune, it was very special to me ...

I thought it was sexy and stylish..sort of noir stuff,plus I have always liked the tough talking detective genre. Stacy Dash was especially good...and beautiful..and I felt there were some good twists and turns to the plot. While I don't think it is a classic or even an excellent picture,I would watch it again,just to see Ms Dash's performance and to look at the cinematography again...there were some nice shots in this film.A lot of the noir look is because of the darkness of some scenes,though they are well lit enough to enjoy. Give it a shot,go in not expecting much and you will be pleasantly surprised. Grab some popcorn,kick back,and enjoy it!

This movie is not the best directed movie ever. it's writing was less than stellar. the movie as a whole is largely forgettable. what i can't forget is Stacey Dash. She has a lovely face and body but really what hollywood actress can't claim that. What Stacey Dash has is soul. and character. and she has heart. she's not just some mindless beauty reading lines, but a living breathing person. all these qualities come across on film.

if you're looking for Debbie Does Dallas, or some other such vulgar tripe. Lord knows in this sewer we live in it's as close as the nearest video store.

if you want to watch a woman act her heart out, watch Illegal In Blue. it's actually a pretty good movie. and Stacey Dash is Wonderful.

I'm watching it right now on Dutch TV, and it's really bad. It's porn without naked chicks. Really, it's so bad that I would advise you to consider suicide before watching it. I am holding out though, partly due to morbid curiosity, partly to see if Stacy Dash gets her kit off, but mostly because I have nothing else to do and I've run out of booze.

What can I say, I was a teen, watching a naughty movie. I expected sex. What I didn't expect was a pretty hardcore unrated version featuring a handful of lenghty sex scenes, and starring a man who at the time was known for small, relatively pg roles. Not to take away from Stacey Dash, who to this day keep men feverishly hunting down this film (she is a beaut, no lie), but Dan brought an equal amount of sexy energy to the role which required a lot of skin and thrusting. For this reason, Illegal in blue is also sought after by men who like... well, men. It can be argued that, why not just watch porn, and the answer is, rare is the porn that features two fixations like Stacey Dash and Dan Gauthier having very convincing sex. For this reason alone, it remains one of the sexiest erotic/softcore movies of the 90s era and i strongly recommend nabbing the unrated version it you're here for that reason. There's a rather significant difference in the porny factor between the r and unrated.

Tracy Dash plays a femme fox who murders her husband in coldblood. After plotting it for sometime and carrying it out she becomes the number one murder suspect. While the detective investigates her he also falls in love with her. The faulted-love-struck cop must now pick between his love or his oath of morality.
