THE DEVIL IN MISS JONES 3: A NEW BEGINNING (1986) ***


The Dark Brothers made some of the most outrageous porn movies of the ‘80s, so they were a perfect fit to pick up the torch of the Devil in Miss Jones series.  Lois Ayres takes over the role of Miss Jones from Georgina Spelvin and instantly makes it her own.  Gone is the mousy housewife of the ‘70s.  This Miss Jones is a tough-talking, spunky, and no-nonsense sexpot with a punk rock hairdo and an attitude to match.  

Miss Jones gets picked up by a man (Paul Thomas) at a singles bar one night.  He bangs her so hard that when she hits her head on the headboard of her bed, she dies and goes to Hell.  Once there, her jive-talking pimp guide (Jack Baker) escorts her through the many rooms of hellish sexual delight as she searches for a way out.  

Ayers is excellent, and she and Baker (who got his start in real movies like The Kentucky Fried Movie) have a lot of chemistry together.  Baker is very funny and practically steals the film, despite being a non-sex performer.  The rest of the cast, including Amber Lynn (who does “the dance of the double dong”), Tom Byron (as Miss Jones’ cheating boyfriend), and Vanessa Del Rio (who gets gangbanged) are also enjoyable and make the most of their brief screen time. 

Director Gregory Dark delivers on the bizarre, outrageous sex scenes.  The weirdest scene features two people fucking while dressed like horses as sounds of hooves pounding play in the background.  The “plot” stuff is really thin (the on-camera interviews with people talking about Miss Jones feel more like filler than anything else), and the non-ending (“cliffhanger” is the wrong word) is frustrating as it merely sets up Part 4.  (Scenes of the next installment help to further pad out the running time).  Despite these debits, as a madcap slice of ‘80s WTF XXX, it remains highly entertaining.  

The fun music was stolen from other Dark Brothers productions, such as New Wave Hookers and Let Me Tell Ya ‘Bout White Chicks.
