Pretty Peaches 2
If you’re looking for an super-spicy Amazon movie title, then Pretty Peaches 2 is definitely worth the shot. Pretty Peaches 2 was produced nearly a decade after the original film. The story is about a 20-year-old peach who’s interested in learning about sex. There are several odd situations. For example, her father tells Peaches to stop acting like a tease and her mother seduces her own boyfriend. Peaches then go to San Francisco to learn about sex from her uncle played by Ron Jeremy.
While there are some odd situations the tone of the movie is still playful/upbeat. The movie even addresses some risqué issues yet the way it does it is effective.
Pretty Peaches 3: The Quest
This is the third movie in the trilogy and Peaches is now living in a trailer park. She’s not fulfilled sexually. Her doctor who is a lesbian had sexual relations with Peaches while giving an exam. She suggests that Peaches go to San Francisco so her desires are satisfied.
While Peaches goes to California she falls in love with a televangelist. He thinks more often about sex than his religion. In this movie, the world of the televangelist becomes important in Peaches’ life.
Both of the Pretty Peaches sequels are sexy yet also funny and odd. The actresses who play the characters are likable. Meanwhile, de Renzy shows why he’s considered one of the best directors in the adult film industry.
Background
The move was probably influenced by the novel Candy (1958). It ‘s about the story of 18-year-old Candy Christian who’s an attractive yet naïve woman who finds herself in various sexual situations. This results from her wish to help people. However, the men in her life only want to possess her.
Candy itself honored Voltaire's Candide (1759). The satire is about a young man named Candide who’s living a sheltered life in a paradise and is trained by his mentor to be optimistic. However, Candide quickly stops this lifestyle when he learns about life’s hardships. Voltaire promotes a practical idea that people must “cultivate” their garden and reject the idea that “all is for the best.”
Release/Reception
If you’re looking for amazon prime videos you should know that Cousteau won the Best Actress Award (1978) from the Adult Film Association of America for Pretty Peaches. It resulted in two sequels including Pretty Peaches 2 (1988) and Pretty Peaches and the Quest 1991).
There are different releases available. The Vinegar Syndrome’s version of the sequels is generally good. The colors are strong and skin tones natural. Meanwhile, the print has been stored well so it’s in good condition.
Meanwhile, the audio is powerful and doesn’t have any background noise. It’s worth noting that there’s been some damage to the original copy of Pretty Peaches 3 so there’s a lot of jitters. It’s also sometimes difficult to hear the dialogue sometimes because the audio sounds a bit unclear at times.
You can also pick the Blu-ray version that includes 2 discs. This will provide you with the best solution possible even though the first movie dates back about 4 decades ago. The price is about $20 so you also won’t have to spend a ton of money to enjoy the three movies in one set. This is an excellent option because there’s a rock-bottom price for all three movies in the trilogy. It’s definitely a plus if you’re looking for more value. You can also enjoy the clear resolution of Blu-ray.
When Pretty Preaches was released it was somewhat controversial due to some of the issues and scenes of the film. It’s interesting to note that while the series is several decades old it still has a big fan base. That’s greatly due to the moving having an upbeat done while dealing with some risqué issues at the time. If you’re a fan of the genre then a trilogy bundle is an outstanding option.
