Red Blooded American Girl (David Blyth, 1990)

This movie starts the best possible way - with a hot naked chick lying on the bad with camera slowly zooming on to her. She then lights a cigarette and says something about how horny she still is. Very good!

It gets better because her lover is Kim Coates. Kim Who? you may ask. He is a Kim "mean bad guy who gets his ass kicked" Coates from zillion of good bad movies. But he's not really a star in this one because in the next scene we see Andrew Stevens. And you surely DO know him, right? He starred in zillion of those Jim Wynorski "erotic thrillers" with likes of Shannon Whirry/Tweed. So I was a bit surprised to see Christoper Plummer joining this duo of B movies mega-stars.

But these guys are all overshadowed by the hot and sexy Heather Thomas. She's really cool and seems to have lots of fun doing this movie. Some of the faces she's making are hilarious and right on the spot with the cheesiness of this flick. Must admit I had no idea who she was so I checked her filmography on IMDB. She has done mostly TV work for which I don't give a shit, but there is a flick however that sounds interesting. It's called Cyclone and her co-star is none other than Jeffrey "Re-Animator" Combs and I'm putting it on my to-do list!

Story is cool, it's a fresh approach to vampire genre. So who is who? Christopher Plummer is a mad scientist/vampire that needs a cure, Kim Coates is his horny and a bit crazed assistant, Andrew Stevens is scientist (hehe) and Mrs. Thomas is damsel in distress. It's not boring and it is moving forward pretty fast and straightforward with some memorable scenes like really erotic one with Mrs Tomas in the kitchen. And I particularly liked the ending because it doesn't follow this usual pattern of high action pursuit with mandatory slaying of the master vampire. Instead we get happy ending with everyone still live (for eternity of course).

The biggest flaw is the screenplay. Although some of the dialogues are pretty cool and funny, most of the scenes are totally disjointed and they don't make much sense so movie lacks some steady flow and pace. Direction is okay although some scenes definitely left me unsatisfied, especially one in body building gym! It has lots of potential (more blood!!!) but doesn't deliver anything special. Also erotic scene at the end sucks, they should/could use some advice from Andrew! There are usual continuity problems (day and night overlapping, raining on one side of the car while she is completely dry on the other) but what the hell. Things like that make movies like this such a fun to watch.
