Island Fever 2 (2002) DVD Cover |
The movie starts with a softcore introduction of the actresses that are in this film. They are all on the beach, in the waves, and just in the wind. There’s soft, smooth jazz that plays as we see the women walking around, and looking at the camera, looking away, as the credit rolls. The director wants you to realize that they are in paradise, and you are drifting into the amazing worlds that only can be found in Hawaii, and other tropical destinations. On that note, the feature moves forward straight to the sex, and while that’s not necessarily a bad thing, I have to knock down a point for the use of sexy, jazz music. I hate smooth jazz, so that sucks up front.
The first scene starts, and it features Tera Patrick and Erik Everhard. The two start to kiss, and Everhard starts to caress Patrick’s nude body. The two look like Adam and Eve with the backdrop of a mountain side with green grass, and trees all around. The movie isn’t terrible to start, but the music takes over so that you can’t hear anything other than that. The camera work is good, going in and out of the scenario, letting you soak it all in. There’s a poetic push here, and it’s all quiet, you don’t hear the sounds of sex. Tera Patrick eventually gets down on her knees for a blow job and everything just slows down. The whole sex scene is done in near slow motion as you see an artistic side to how adult cinema can be made. If you’re looking for straight forward sex with moaning and the likes, you will not find it here. This is an erotic picture with a focus on art, and sex, not just the actual act. For that, it gets a few points. After oral, the two move into sex, and you don’t see when Everhard puts on a condom on, but he has one. The two go through several positions on the mountainside, eventually ending in stand up doggy, and then Everhard cumming on the back of Patrick. You hear nothing. You don’t hear the motions, you don’t hear the moaning, you just see the expressions, and some of the penetration, and then finally the finish, and that’s it. It’s like watching a silent film, but it has sex in it. Don’t get me wrong, this is sensual, artistic, and definitely an arthouse sex film, but you can’t hear what Patrick is saying, you can’t hear her moaning, and you can’t really get a feel for the sensuality that is on screen, as it is coupled with jazz music and that’s it. The scenery is great, but the sex? Well, it’s artsy sex, what else can I say about it? Those that are not familiar with Tera Patrick, will find that she’s quite attractive. She has an Asian look to her, tan skin, augmented breasts, and long dark hair.
We move forward to another scene, and the same smooth jazz starts. This time we see Devon nude. Devon is a thin, shaved, blonde haired woman with large breasts. She starts solo, playing for the camera, and then Barrett Blade shows up. Devon and Barrett Blade start their sex scene with a blow job that is slowed down for the camera. After she gives Blade oral, she sits on his face, and that’s where I start to notice a few problems with this scene. Yes, the two are having sex on what seems like a mountain side, with rocks and everything, but there’s obvious clipping and elements that look like a green screen! A closer examination shows off that this is done in post production, and they aren’t really on location in the same way that the first scene was. The amateur nature of some of the production work makes me laugh, as the two keep going forward with foreplay. The two start to have sex and go through a couple of positions but it doesn’t last too long before Blade has to cum, and he lets it all out in Devon’s face as per usual. She then blows him a little afterwards, and the music intensifies. This whole thing feels like it’s going in slow motion, and by the time it’s over, I’m glad that there’s something else to watch. There’s no condom to speak of here, mind you.
We see a sunset and we are taken to a desert location. Here we see Stormy Daniels enter the frame. She is nude and has a scarf that is blowing in the wind. Middle Eastern music starts and we see her in high heels and just nude. She’s tall, has dark blonde hair, long legs, augmented breasts and looks young here. She looks like a Playboy model, not a hardcore porn actress, that’s for certain. I’m impressed by her beauty here, and one cannot blame anyone that wants to be with her, she is framed in such a dynamic way here. Stormy Daniels is introduced to a nude Barrett Blade and she gets on her knees to blow him. The two get familiar fast. There’s a focus on sex here, of course, and this time the camera catches the condom outright. The two have sex in front of a green screen, and it’s hilariously bad. If this is not a green screen, I’ll gladly admit I’m wrong, but it looks really bad. Either way, the two have stand up sex, and it’s not sexy at all. I was expecting more out of this. You don’t hear the moaning or the movement’s yet again, you just hear the Middle Eastern sounds. It really takes away from the larger portrait of what this could be. At one point Blade pulls Stormy’s hair and even chokes her a little, and this is all fine sexual elements for a porno, but the lack of hearing, and the slow down of the camera really plays with what you’re trying to do if you’re trying to get off. If you’re watching for review, like I am, it can be creative, artsy, and interesting, but if this is not meant for review, then it gets boring with Blade going in and out in normal fashion, lacking passion and well, it’s just mechanical. After a while we get the money shot and it’s on Daniels’ chest and a little on her face, but she looks like she’s not into it at all. It’s lackluster, and really “forced” as the camera fades into something else.
The camera picks back up and we see different sequences of paradise, the clouds, and different set locations that are nothing short of beautiful. Then we are focused on Tera Patrick, and she’s nude. She does a little dance for the camera, then lays down and looks good for the camera and pictures etc. There’s nothing wrong with this, it’s sexy, it has an artsy quality to it, and it really paints Tera Patrick as a beautiful woman.
The camera fades and we get to another location, and this time it’s again on location without green screen. It features Tera Patrick and Erik Everhard and they are enjoying sex by a waterfall. Patrick is on her knees blowing him right away. This time around Everhard takes a lot more time to give Patrick head, and it is interesting to watch, but you cannot hear the sounds, so she moans and moves a bit, but there’s an instrumental sound that makes it a bit boring to watch. There’s a condom again, and it’s too tight for Everhard, which is odd to me, as it doesn’t roll up or anything during the sex. We go into reverse cowgirl to start things off and then several other positions, with an interesting waterfall backdrop, but honestly, there’s not a whole lot to this other than the two having sex with techno jazz music behind them. After some changes, Everhard cums on her chest, and that’s the end of this one.
We move onto the next focus and it’s Devon playing on a lava beach. She plays with her breasts, and she plays with the water, and there’s a soft instrumental sound behind her. This is just modeling at it’s finest, and it does a good job of making Devon look amazing, but honestly, that’s not really what I was expecting with this movie.
After Devon dances in the water and plays with herself a little, the camera fades and we are taken to another location and we see Tera Patrick playing in a lava rock beach. There’s more instrumental music, and this time we see Tera Patrick playing with herself in slow motion, all the while the director moves in and out of the scene, never being crass, and never going too deep into what is going on.
The camera fades and returns, and there’s Erik Everhard again. This time again, he has sex with Tera Patrick, this time on a beach. This is mechanical sex yet again, only this time the focus isn’t on foreplay, but rather a different position and new music. It’s artistic, it has merit, it’s soft, it’s nearly not X-rated, except from time to time you see the insertion, but it’s mostly a vanity project that shows off the beauty of the location mixed with the art of sex, and it’s well, just sex. There’s no chemistry to it at all, and you can tell that Patrick isn’t even wet here. The finish line arrives with Patrick blowing Everhard until he cums in her hand and that’s it. The end of that scene.
The final scene in this movie features Devon and Barrett Blade. They are at the location that started the movie, and everything yet again is done with the same style as the other parts. There’s a focus on the oral here, with artistic musical scores, movement in and out with the camera, and not a bad bit of focus. There’s a lot going on here with the backgrounds, and the location, but that’s juxtaposed with the sex that is going on. Devon is a beautiful girl, and yet Blade doesn’t seem to be that intrigued by what’s going on. There’s no condom here, and the two get into the sex which you can’t hear again, and it’s not terrible, but it’s also not what you’d expect from a porno movie. The two go at it for a while, change positions, and eventually Blade cums on Devon’s backside, and that’s a wrap for this movie.
I give “Island Fever 2” a 3 out of 5.
Visually speaking, “Island Fever 2” is beautiful. It has art, it has style, but strip away some of the backgrounds, and you have a gonzo movie that doesn’t have sounds of sex. I like the sound of sex, not just watching people have it. The music is not my taste, the women are beautiful, but the sex is silent, and slowed down for art’s sake. If you like that, then you will like this movie, otherwise you’ll ask yourself what you’re watching, and why.
