Official Basic Instinct Parody by Zero Tolerance - review by KnK

Covers:

The front shows Breanne Benson (playing Cathering Trammell) clawing into the shoulder of Michael Vegas (playing Nick Curran). Only her dark-lined eyes are visible. It's an obvious imitation of the original movie cover.

The back shows a pornographic montage of the whole cast, the majority of them naked in some some sort of sexual position. One of the pictures includes Breanne Benson in the iconic outfit and position that Sharon Stone assumed in the interrogation scene in the original.


Menu and Special Features:

For some reason this disc has an auto-start function. Funny thing is it actually still applies after the actual film has ended, meaning, this movie will loop back to the beginning as soon as it ends, providing that you leave it on long enough.

The Special Features are few and far between. The special features only include a photo gallery, the popshots, and a behind the scenes featurette (which is hidden in the scene selection section).

Story Line:

Eh, I don't really have a frame of reference since I've never seen the original, but from what I can pick up from the other reviews and IMDB, I'm pretty sure that the movie at least sort of follows the story line of the original, but with added sex scenes. For that reason, I'm going to focus on the sex scenes.

Scenes:

Scene 0: This isn't a full-on sex scene (hence the zero). The movie opens with who we can only assume is Catherine Trammel (it's pretty obvious, not a spoiler) riding a random rocker guy. She ties his hand with a white scarf who she then murders with an ice pick.

Scene 1: The police accuse Catherine of murder and go to her house to question her. After they leave, her and Lexi Belle (playing the girlfriend) meet at the top of the stairs. Catherine strips out of her see-through robe (real sexy by the way), and the two of them proceed to rub up on each other and kiss. They eventually take things to the floor and swap between performing oral and fingering each other. Catherine is aware that she's being watched and is sexing her girlfriend just to fuck with officer Nick Curran.

Scene 2: Nick Curran is experiencing a lot of sexual tension because he's got a hard on for Catherine and two other murder suspects. His therapist (Lyla Storm) and him talk about it at his place and they proceed to get it on. She gives him a strip tease and he follows by giving her gratuitous oral. She gives him head and they proceed with vaginal sex in a variety of positions. The scene ends with a popshot.

Scene 3: A prostitute (Brandy Aniston) seduces a super religious cop (Ryan McLane) who caves to her temptations. The scene is all oral and vaginal. She gets head, he gets head, he gets rough with her when she gets lippy and taunts his deviation from his religion. Popshot, end scene.

Scene 4: The religious cop is dead. The cops think Nick killed him since they never got along, so they take his badge. Later, Francesca Le and Will Power chat, and it somehow magically turns into sexy time. Their scene is pretty dull and is just another session of oral and vaginal. Nothing major or exciting.

Scene 5: Catherine (Breanne Benson) and Nick Curran (Michael Vegas) finally get at it. She taunts and teases him, taking her time to even unzip his pants. He appears to be completely at her will. The scene proceeds with him giving her oral, her blowing him, and then follows with rough vaginal sex (she actually lets him top). After they finish, she reaches over to the side of the bed to pull out an ice pick...

THE END

Reviewer Commentary:

I really have very little opinion concerning whether or not this "parody" stayed true to the plot of the original film. I will say that I liked that Zero Tolerance decided to element the whole femme fatale fantasy into porn. Although the femme fatale is often considered a very negative stereotype of women, I can't help but find it incredibly sexy.

I did like that they imitated the iconic scenes, such as the outfit that Sharon Stone wore in the interrogation scene in the original and the nearly identical cover. I'm sure that it added a realness for the fans of the original version.

I wasn't a fan of the wig on Breanne Benson, but I understand why she was wearing it. It was to extend the fantasy of the movie.

I didn't find the women to be particularly attractive. I don't like the carbon copy women. They all pretty much look the same in body, with different faces, and marginally different boobs. They're all long legged and skinny with big boobs. I guess I don't get the appeal for plastic women. I'm sure that they could very well be very nice women... The only bonus I could think of is that there are actually non-blondes and women that aren't anglo-saxons. Holy shit! I'm shocked when I see women that aren't white and artificial blonde in porn.

The sex scenes were dull and predictable. At first I thought it was really nice that the oral scenes for women were so long, but in every scene? Each scene, minus the girl-on-girl scene, followed pretty much the same formula - she gets head, she gives him head, and then pussy fucking. I got bored and started reading a book while it played in the background. The scenes felt so scripted and I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

I'm really not a fan. I was neutral about this porn, but now I really don't like it. I think that this porn is horrible.
