Ah, back to the good stuff!
After veering briefly into Gregory Dark-land, I got to go back home again and see another in the always enjoyable Night Eyes series. Now I’m up to part three and like the two before it, I’m finding there’s a lot to be said about Andrew Stevens take on sleaze. Um, I mean erotica!
Admittedly not as good as part 2, Shannon Tweed returns as a new character for an entirely different storyline. This time she’s Zoe Clairmont, star of the hit TV series Sweet Justice (her partner in crime on the show is Shannon’s real life sis Tracy, who is FANTASTIC as the bitch from hell). Zoe’s on again/off again boyfriend attempts to rape her after a fight and dontcha known it? Night Eyes Security to the rescue. The assailant escapes, but Zoe’s obnoxious producer hires Andrew to keep a close watch on his billion dollar bimbo. Romance, intrigue and full frontal nudity ensue.
So. Good.
Night Eyes III is a little lighter on story, and that’s saying something since these movies have hardly any story at all, but like its predecessors, it’s fun, sexy and a great romp for Shannon fans. She pulls out all the stops in her performance here and as per her usual
style, rises above the threadbare material.
Andrew Stevens is extremely likeable as Will. But by this point, I’m thinking he’s totally unprofessional. I mean, does he really fall in love with all of his clients? Seriously, keep in your pants!
For some reason, in this movie Will now has a daughter! Funny that he’d never mentioned her before, but here she is, spending the Christmas holidays with her dad. Or rather, spending the holidays with Will’s housekeeper, since he works the graveyard shift and schtups Shannon in his spare time. What a way to earn a paycheck!
Also, the intrigue in this movie actually revolves more around Will and Night Eyes Security than Shannon. Seems there’s another competing security company in Beverly Hills – only this one is evil! And I’m not using that term lightly. Especially uniformed guard Jim Stanton (Tristan Rogers) who apparently loves being a uniformed security guard so much, he’ll kill for it! Wow, that’s love of a job.
Anyway, most of the sexy sex stuff shows up in the middle. In fact all of the sexy sex stuff is in the middle, minus one salacious scene with Monique Parent at the beginning, and one scene with Tracy where she looks DYNO-MITE. I quite liked Tracy and am disappointed she only appeared in a handful of movies. Seems beauty and talent runs in the family. Oh yes, she was in Gregory Dark’s Night Rhythms and they don’t even really show her face! How cruel, Mr. Dark. How cruel.
