DEVIL II is total delightful entertainment in the same league as MISTY BEETHOVEN
and TAKE OFF. The original film was Gerard Damiano’s serious effort, but the Pachard
sequel is perfect high camp. The plot has Justine Jones back on Earth pursuing eternal
carnal cravings in the form of various women. Georgina is transformed into Joanna Storm,
hilarious and hot as Private Parts, Anna Ventura as the awkward saleslady and Jacqueline
Lorians, as Roxanne the hooker, first seen with Astyr in his silly devil costume, then with trick
Joey and finally as the woman who becomes Lucifer’s true love.
Jack Wrangler is sensational as Lucifer and holds the picture together. R. Bolla as the
Devil’s Advocate should have won an award. The cast is chock full of the gorgeous New
York actresses destined to leave their images firmly in your minds over the next few years.
The late Johnnie Hartman, an underappreciated jazz singer in the Joe Williams mold,
performs what is probably the finest soul vocal ever in adult films.
This is a really funny film that happens to contain explicit sex. It will easily become a
landmark classic with the passage of time. The sex is not raunchy, but it is solid, and the
film is a marvelously well produced masterpiece of sex, comedy and commentary on the
human sexual condition. The tragedy is that too few films of this decade are as enjoyable.
Not trying to emulate the original and switching the tone to comedy was the stroke of genius
that makes DEVIL II a triumph.
