(Going To A) “Kung Fu Nurses A Go-Go”

January 23, 2008
GRAM-PONANTE

This movie is not the porn equivalent of "Kill Bill". It's not even the porn equivalent of "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls". It's just a porn movie unfettered by notions of its own importance ... which, after AVN week, is a big relief. (And it also features the return of Mr. Thermopyles!)

Review by Gram Ponante

There's a dance party for the nurses, and they'll do anything to win. Even resort to sex and martial arts.

It's movies like Kung Fu Nurses A Go-Go that remind us that the rental of two or three skimpy nurses' outfits spread over eight or so women on different shooting days is really all it takes to satisfy the porn consumer's need for a narrative.

This movie is just about pointless, but is light and charming regardless. A vignette film not featuring any of Wicked's female contract stars, it has the feel of a movie that has little to prove and little to lose.

This inspires some serious hammy acting from three of the four hammiest actors in porn: Randy Spears, Evan Stone, and Nick Manning (Steven St. Croix couldn't make it) who reappears as Mr. Thermopyles for no other reason than to refer to his character in the third person.

We meet various nurses over the course of the movie, and each informs her patient that there's a dance that night. Somehow kung fu is incorporated.

One gets the impression that there were some extra props lying around, some money was freed up, and Nick Manning happened to be driving by. "Hey! Let's make a movie!"

Porn consumers familiar with the work of the late Jim Holliday might see similarities in this movie directed by Mark Stone, in that there are nurses. Unlike Holliday's work, however, there is little scripted dialogue. The viewer can enjoy scenes of pretty women in nurses' uniforms without sitting through a self-important plot.
