Dr. Jekyll runs a mental hospital and watches as a patient masturbates with a candlestick. Afterwards, he drinks a potion and turns into a sex maniac. When his girlfriend won’t put out, he gives her the formula too and they bang. (Although for someone who just drank a potion that transforms people into sex fiends, he sure has a lot of trouble staying hard.) He then drops her off to the psych ward so she can ball his nymphomaniac patient. Dr. Jekyll next seduces a young virgin in his office before bringing everyone together for a big orgy.
Your enjoyment of Dr. Sexual and Mister Hyde may all depend on what you’re expecting out of a porno version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. For one, Dr. Jekyll only takes his formula once and it’s pretty much forgotten about until the end when the schoolgirl’s boyfriend accidentally drinks some. There’s no exploring the duality of man themes inherent in Robert Louis Stevenson’s source material. Nope, instead we just get right to the fucking. Many probably won’t care about that, but for me, it seemed like a big missed opportunity. Or at the very least they could’ve played up some of the horror trappings of the story. I myself wouldn’t have minded so much if the hardcore action was hot. As it turns out, it’s all rather tepid.
Technically speaking, Dr. Sexual and Mister Hyde is kind of a mess. The sound drops completely out in some parts and the dubbing is awful. Although it’s supposed to be a turn of the century period piece (I think), one girl is seen wearing peace sign earrings. Again, this criticism might not be held water had the sex scenes been remotely erotic.
I guess it was sort of clever that (Spoiler Alert for a stupid porno from the ‘70s) in the end we learn the solution was just water and the people just turned into sex freaks on their own accord. However, that doesn’t quite make up for the abrupt downbeat ending that comes out of nowhere. All in all, Dr. Sexual and Mister Hyde is a mixed bag to be sure.
