I don’t know why it took Charles Band forty years (!) to make a sequel to his classic celebrity skin compilation, Famous T & A. I guess that’s how long it took for him to edit all these clips together. As far as four decades late sequels to nudity compilations go, this is about as good as it gets.
Instead of Sybil Danning, we have everybody’s favorite mail girl, Diana Prince as our hostess for this skin-filled ride through cinema’s most titillating moments. (Most of which come from the vaults of Band’s Full Moon Pictures.) Prince makes for a knowledgeable and sexy hostess. Her wraparound sequences are informative, and she is clearly eager to have an opportunity to present something like this without having to accompany Joe Bob Briggs for a change.
Things begin with a brief history of nudity in film, going all the way back to the silent era, to the lax morals of the swinging ‘60s. We take a look at the work of cult directors like Russ Meyer (Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!) and Jess Franco (Vampyros Lesbos) before focusing on Scream Queens such as Linnea Quigley (Fairy Tales), Michelle Bauer (Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, and Brinke Stevens (also Sorority Babes). From there, it’s pretty much a Full Moon/Surrender Cinema clip package, which isn’t the worst thing in the world.
Band kind of plays fast and loose with the term “Famous” as many of the starlets featured come from the Full Moon family of leading ladies. A lot of time is devoted to actresses such as Jacqueline Lovell (Head of the Family) and Charlie Spradling (Puppet Master 2). Although they might not exactly be household names (well, in your household, anyway), they are certainly famous (and sexy) enough to warrant attention here. While not all the clips feature gratuitous nudity, it isn’t a deal breaker or anything. Besides, any compilation that contains tributes to Andy Sidaris and Julie Strain is okay by me.
I just hope Band doesn’t wait another four decades before he comes out with Part 3.
