Viper’s Place (1987) Review

Viper's Place (1987) DVD Cover

We are going to venture in the late 1980s for a review of a movie that is synonymous with an actress that really is quite fascinating to me. Her name is Viper and she has a large tatoo on the side of her body. This movie is called, “Viper’s Place” and it was directed by Bob Vosse and was distributed by Vidco Entertainment. Released in 1987, this looks like something that you’d see in movie theaters or perhaps straight to VHS, but today, we are watching it from a different angle. The movie stars Erica Boyer, Mauvais DeNoir, Betty Boobs, Joey Silvera, Tom Byron, Nina Hartley, Siobhan Hunter, Mike Horner, Billy Dee, and of course Viper. The movie has an innocent enough idea, a woman owns a bar and gets into all sorts of interesting scenarios, having sex with a variety of people, right? Well that’s what it’s supposed to be, but maybe there’s more to it? I don’t know. Let’s find out with this review.

We start the movie with Viper talking to Tom Byron. Byron has a mustache for this movie, making him look a little older than he is in other movies from the same time frame. In this one, he starts talking to Viper and reminds her of the time they had sex on the bar, and we go to that scene.

Viper is dancing on the bar and attracts Tom Byron, then starts to blow him. Viper is unique in that she’s very tall, nearly 6 foot tall, has short reddish brown hair, and a large tattoo on her body. She is enthusiastic in this scene, blowing Byron with a mix of rock and jazz music in a bar. The two engage in 69 for a while before getting into the sex. This is an older movie so the set is a bit dark and not well lit, but the two start having sex on the top of a bar, with one leg up and both standing. This is a stellar visual to see, and it really does well to reflect a unique sexual position. Viper and Byron are nearly the same height and her flexibility is interesting with her leg up, which I’m completely fascinated by overall. After a few positions, including doggy, and what I could only see as anal, since the VHS copy I’m reviewing is a little bit fuzzy, the scene aims towards an ending in which Viper blows Byron and finishes, that’s it.

The scene fades and we see Viper and Byron smoking cigarettes and talking about the good times, and that’s when a couple of women show up and want to go to the back room.

The next scene starts and it’s Erica Boyer and Mauvais DeNoir. The two women are polar opposites of one another. Erica Boyer is a rock star looking blonde hair woman, and Mauvais DeNoir is an African American woman with a slightly bigger frame than Boyer. The two are great here, and they go through the motions of oral, fingers, and much more in a passionate sequence of kissing and jazz music on a pool table. Fans of 1980s lesbian sex will enjoy the angles that are shown here and it’s a fascinating look at porno with two women. The two have a bit of passion, more so than the original opening scene, and you see both get wet and really know what they are doing overall, a nice nod to some passion is nice.

After the sex ends, we are taken back to the bar and Joey Silvera shows up with a friend. They sit down and just start to talk about different things from the past. They talk about how Silvera is a lady’s man and they are going to drink, etc.

After some small talk, we start go away from the drinking and smoking to the sex. But it’s creatively placed, as we are taken to the jukebox. Silvera talks about a blonde haired woman with huge breasts, and then he imagines her while he is by the jukebox. She then comes out of it, after dancing, and we are into the next sex scene. In this sex scene we see Joey Silvera and Betty Boobs having sex. She is not shaved, they don’t use condoms, and she has enormous, near cartoon like large breasts for her frame. There’s a rockabilly tune playing for this one, and it’s not a long sex scene, just some Russian play, then eventually Silvera cums on her breasts, and then returns to the bar to talk. This wasn’t grand, and wasn’t that sexy, it’s just kind of a novelty. Silvera didn’t even last that long, and well, that’s the end.

After some more chit chat, we are taken to a back room where Tom Byron is playing pool and then starts talking to Nina Hartley. Hartley is a blonde haired milf today, and here she’s a bit younger, and yet has an amazing body. She is tall, blonde, and pale, with a girl next door look and seems like a teacher when she is unwrapping her clothes for this scene. Tom Byron and Nina Hartley start making out on a pool table and then start to work through the sex that you’d expect. The two work their way from oral to Hartley mounting Byron on the pool table and just going through the motions. It’s not a raucous scene, the two have a little chemistry, but it’s not that grand. It’s a very “mechanical” sex scene, with few stand out moments, and Hartley looking good as always. Around the 35 minute mark she moans a bit more, but the music takes away from the overall look and feel of the scene. There’s not a whole lot to say about this one, it’s straight forward, Hartley and Byron are professionals, and he finishes without a big money shot. It’s not that great, but the setting works as it’s the back room of Viper’s place.

After the sex scene we go back to the bar and we hear more stories of sexual conquest.

After some set changes we see Siobhan Hunter in lingerie folding clothes. Then Billy Dee comes inside and talks to her. The two make small talk and then go to an average 1980s bedroom and begin to make out a little. That of course leads to sex, and Siobhan Hunter gets head from Billy Dee to start. Siobhan Hunter is a tall brunette with a very girl next door look to her. She’s not completely shaved, she’s not a hard boy, and truly encompasses that “soft”, girl next door look, with B cup breasts, and a beautiful face, with light makeup. There’s a focus on foreplay before Billy Dee goes forward with no condom into Hunter. He’s not huge, and she’s partially shaved, so you see all of the movement into her. She moans slightly and the two have what is normal sex, nothing too fascinating here. It’s back and forth, she doesn’t seem to get that wet, and masturbates while he tries to get off. With reverse cowgirl things really get going, and the two start to have some chemistry with the sex, even though the music is annoying. Dee then announces that he’s going to cum and cums onto Hunter’s pubic hair, and then she blows him to the finish.

The screen fades back to the bar and we are taken back to talking. Viper and Byron talk a bit more about the past and they just talk about sex, etc.

After a few moments, we are taken to a pay phone in the back of the bar, or what appears to be near the bar, I’m not sure. It’s there that Siobhan Hunter and Mike Horner are talking, and then out of the blue, start to make out some. There’s a funky bass line and keyboard that starts playing, and then we start to see something grand go down. Siobhan Hunter and Mike Horner start working towards sex with a blow job to start things off. Hunter looks amazing here again, this time in a different dress, and her hair pulled back a little. Horner gets Hunter wet and then starts to have sex, starting with doggy style. It’s a good overall sexual moment, but the two don’t go very long and Horner cums on her backside. The director didn’t move the camera back much, so you really just see the friction and the sex, before Horner answers a pay phone and that’s it. This was heavily cut or just didn’t last too long, I’m not sure which one. It was ok at best, and Hunter is a beautiful woman.

For the final two scenes, we get Billy Dee and Joey Silvera going to have sex with Viper. It doesn’t start that way though. It starts with Viper dancing, then blowing Billy Dee after a while. There’s a build up of music that comes through and it’s all instrumental overall. Then we see Viper really getting into her blow job with Dee, and Silvera steps aside. After some oral, she gets on top for Reverse Cowgirl and that is really good. It’s a sexy look and scene, and Viper starts to moan a great deal and gets really hot for this option. She really does well here in reverse cowgirl, while Joey Silvera waits for his turn. After some time, Joey Silvera tags in and has sex with Viper. She’s wearing black heels, and the two go forward with hard, fast sex, after Billy Dee lets loose. The ending sequences has Viper’s legs nearly over her head and it’s quite good, and really sexy to watch. Silvera does well with Viper here, and eventually cums, and she is all about it. Silvera and Viper have some real chemistry towards the end, and it makes for a great ending sequence if you ask me.

The sex stops, and the scene ends, roll credits.

I give “Viper’s Place” a 3 out of 5.

Overall, the movie isn’t that bad. It has some bright spots, a good premise, some nice sets, but the sex is mechanical until the end. Viper makes the final sequence work with Billy Dee and Joey Silvera, but other than that, the sex is a bit too lackluster, with the exception of the women’s scene. The lesbian scene was good, but everything else was a bit boring, and hum drum. I can’t give this a higher rating, but that ending definitely lifted it, alongside the bar set.
