Man that movie sucked! I bought it from BB because of the 2 for $25 deal with the first superbit movie and the second new release. Also, because there is "Cameron Diaz" or body double in black shiny pants on the front cover! Only good scene is Lucy Lui in the pussycat outfit. I am sorely dissapointed, going to the girlfriends house permanently!

    Agree so far - not nearly as good as the first. Some good skin and T&A but lacks the freshness and originality of the first.

    Also, the tranfer is garish with hot colors and edge enhancement and a bit on th soft side.

    I stopped watching it at 10:00 pm to hit the sack; got about 20 minutes left.

    Bought it, but going to return it. I figure this is one I need to rent first.


    Peace Out~:D
    If...
    Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
    Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    Pure cheese - I'm passing on this one. The insanely airbrushed cover was bad enough.
