Lap Dancing (1995)
8/10
Not for Epileptics, Nor those in search of anything other than "Inspirational Viewing"

Warning: Spoilers
This is a soft porn production.

There are therefore none of the following: 1) Plot. Not one that matters anyway. Those that argue this point are delusional. See the first sentence of this. 2) Names. No one in this film is a notable figure in society. In it's seamy underbelly, these people are Kings and Queens. The PORN underbelly. 3) Real sex scenes. No actual sex is allowed in movies unless they are rated X and that means your distribution is severely limited. So, lots of simulated sex is possible and all kinds of nudity, including full frontal female nudity. Having said that, this genre is intended for distribution via Showtime, HBO, the like, and direct video. Therefore, full frontal nudity is frowned upon and quite rare. 4) Sexy chicks who are wildly beautiful and have great bodies and are obviously not moms. That's soft porn code. 5) Good editing, sound, production values, good budget and use of it.

Here's where this movie bucks the norm.

1) There's a statement of plot. It's truly irrelevant, because the events that happen don't logically follow with the plot or reality. 2) The movie has a big nudie girl name, Lorissa McComas. Any other names, uh, I guess, but who cares? The late Lorissa is one of the sexiest and most beautiful women there has been. Which is what's really important in a soft porn movie anyway. 3) Some snippets of hair, but no real full frontal nudity. It should appear on Cinemax. 4) Lorissa McComas. Watch, see her, and you'll understand. She was made for porn and at least here we see her nearly there. Totally bucking soft porn code. 5) All true. A high school drama class could have done better. This is because their potential epilepsy hasn't manifested yet. Therefore the editing won't be like this. We'll come back to this.

The movie, in the end is great. Because we get to see Lorissa McComas, almost entirely nude and almost having sex.

This movie would have been perfect had the camera actually gotten within 20 feet of the action, but perfection is hard to achieve. WAAAYYYYY too many long shots.

BUT...

The EDITING! This is the most horribly edited film I've ever seen! Most nudity scenes are a half a second long, then a fade or a snap to another angle. An epileptic would seize if they watched this. Liberal use of the remote is necessary to actually watch this movie. I'm thinking the producer was gay and his lover is the one who wrote and performed all those lame songs droning in the background. Again, use the remote to mute this and play some good music from your stereo while viewing Lorissa.

It's an absolute shame this woman has passed away, but through movies such as this, she's never really gone.
