It’s been a long time since I saw Deep Throat. From what I seem to remember, Linda Lovelace had a clit in her throat, which why she had to suck so much dick. This sequel is a SOFTCORE spy comedy. The fact that it was directed by Joe Sarno gave me hope it would be memorable. As it turns out, this Deep Throat is about as shallow as they come.
Lovelace wakes up and does some nude exercises during the opening credits. This is the best scene in the movie as it’s all downhill from there. She gets naked frequently throughout the film and that’s about the only reason preventing it from getting a NO STAR rating.
Once again, Linda plays a nurse. This time, she works in a sex clinic helping patients live out their fantasies. She gets hired by the government to find the creator of a computer with a human brain and get the lowdown on it. Naturally, Russian agents are also after the computer.
I don’t know if this was the only time a porno movie inspired an R rated sequel, but it was definitely the first. I mean the original was so popular when it first came out that they probably could’ve released a blank screen under the Deep Throat name and still would’ve turned a profit. Just because you CAN release a piece of shit merely to cash in on a popular name doesn’t mean you should.
The comedy shit is painful to watch. (Would it surprise you to learn that Lovelace’s code name is “Agent Double-O 69”?) Even Jamie Gillis’ overacting can’t save it. I guess if there was some hardcore action to counterbalance all this nonsense, it wouldn’t have been so bad. Heck, even a handful of decent softcore scenes might’ve taken the sting out of it. However, much of the sex usually happens offscreen and/or feels like it was abruptly edited out. I’m not sure if it was neutered by distributors or always intended to be R rated, but the results are bafflingly bad. (Even the dialogue scenes suffer from whack-a-doodle editing choices.) It’s especially disappointing considering it was directed by the great Joe Sarno as it is by far the worst Sarno flick I’ve seen.
Ultimately, Deep Throat Part 2 is a shameless, cheap, and stupid cash-in with no redeeming value, other than a few nude scenes from Linda Lovelace. What’s worse, she doesn’t even get to show off her deep throat skills! What a rip-off!
The finale, which features a chase scene involving a dog sled, roller skaters, and a chariot, is atrocious. Eventually, everything devolves into a lame ass pie fight. While it’s still not as out-and-out awful as Linda Lovelace for President, it’s still one of the worst pieces of shit I’ve sat through in a long time.
Thirteen years later, the REAL Deep Throat Part 2 was released.
