TABOO 2 (1982) *** ½

 
After a quick recap of the events of the first movie, we find Kay Parker devastated to learn that her son, with whom she had an incestuous affair, is unable to continue the relationship.  He moves back with his father, leaving Kay all alone.  She winds up having a fling with one of her son’s classmates, played by Kevin James, and tells him all about how she seduced her son.  Since Kevin has a thing for his sister (Dorthy LeMay), it gives him the idea to make his feelings known to her.  Eventually, everyone in their household is screwing each other.

Taboo 2 is even better than its predecessor.  It’s filled with wall-to-wall sex, much more than what was found in the original.  Some of the scenes use your basic porno set-ups (like when James “returns some tools” to Parker), but there is much more of a concentration on the repercussions of incest in this one, which makes it more dramatically sound.  Not that drama is something that’s mandatory in a porno, but this is the rare XXX flick in which the plot dictates the sex and not the other way around.

LeMay is quite good in this.  Not only is she extremely sexy (she has a particularly hot scene with Eric Edwards, who plays her father), she gives a solid performance too.  I also dug the scene where she wears a T-shirt that has the word “CRACKS” on it for no apparent reason.  Kay Parker has a reduced role here, which may upset some fans of the original, but LeMay and James are so good that it more than makes up for it.  I mean James has so many scenes in this movie that I bet he was sore for a week or so after filming.
