Cool 80's sci-fi porn

Warning: Spoilers
Human prostitutes are replaced by robots known as nightdroids in the near future. The nightdroids are subjected to vigorous and extensive testing in a lab called the Pleasure Maze prior to being released to the public.

Writer/director Duck Dumont crafts a satisfying raunchy and erotic atmosphere, keeps the interesting premise moving along at a steady pace, and makes good use of wonky droning synthesizer music, stark minimal sets, and funky costumes in order to effectively evoke an oppressive dystopian world. This movie further benefits from a bevy of hot and desirable women: Fetching brunette Tracey Adams, delicious Stacey Donovan, a very young and foxy Nina Hartley, the always super slutty (and damn sexy) Amber Lynn, sultry Joanna Storm, and the enticing Lili Marlene, who does the deed with especially scorching gusto. The guys hold up their end quite nicely: Joey Silvera as likable veteran tester Parker, Jerry Butler as buff stud Fuller, Billy Dee as the eager Cassidy, and Jon Martin as smarmy technician Merrick. The sex scenes are really arousing and energetic, with a sizzling girl/girl session between Hartley and Storm rating as the definite steamy highlight. Guido's bright cinematography provides an attractive sparkling look. Lynn's last line is simply priceless. Recommended viewing for fans of outre hardcore fare.

George Lucas has the classic THX 1138 (and its short film original too), so Duck Dumont has "Pleasure Maze". It's science fiction reduced to a series of sex scenes, a yawner.

The back of an envelope "script" premise is creating commercial androids that are basically sexbots and testing them. We watch them being tested by studs in the Pleasure Maze (white on white set, stealing the concept from Lucas back a couple of decades before), and the movie ends with a new model played by Amber Lynn supposedly passing all tests. Who cares?

Of course, the present of hot babes, many superstars, is the only reason for this non-starter to exist, so the fans can take their pick of greats looking fine, including Tracey Adams, Stacy Donovan, Nina Hartley, Joanna Storm and others.
