It's basically just a soft-core flick but all flows together as one movie. Sometimes porno actress Julia Parton plays a real estate agent who has an affair with Bauer's character in it but I don't recognize anyone else. This was released in 1986 and there was also an extremely rare "Making Of..." tape featuring more cut footage that was distributed by Draculina Magazine.<br /><br />"New" uses some footage from the original (like many scenes with the band), but most of it is a new SOV action type film starring Michelle as a modeling agent who gets together some of her girls to foil an extortion attempt. This was released in 1991.<br /><br />IMDb sure ain't easy to work with and it's frustrating dealing with them at times. They'll accept this and not accept that seemingly without rhyme or reason. I've successfully made many corrections and added many titles there over the years, but at other times they just won't accept your submissions and give you no explanation as to why. As far as these titles are concerned, everything I submitted for "New" went through exactly as I sent it while my cast corrections for the first movie were rejected.The Bloody Pit of Horrorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419921450872885649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214930440884348127.post-53442869301389468062015-07-25T14:30:23.873-04:002015-07-25T14:30:23.873-04:00hmm. i'm not sure which one i've seen. my ...hmm. i'm not sure which one i've seen. my copy's in storage somewhere, and i only ever watched it once about 15 years ago. quite sure that there were two segments, and one of them had linnea and becky lebeau in a rock group. kral's comments were for NBHG.<br /><br />i only ever added a few things to the imdb: trivia, goofs and budgets, mostly. one complete title page: an early '80s don rickles & don adams TV special, submitted just because it gave andree maranda one other credit. tried several times to make changes to wildly inaccurate release dates on certain f. o. ray films and gave up after that. spookyx3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214930440884348127.post-4862924519808961712015-07-23T19:02:57.264-04:002015-07-23T19:02:57.264-04:00Thanks a lot for all of the info on this obscure t...Thanks a lot for all of the info on this obscure title. I didn't make the Jeffrey Ward = Ward Jeffries connection, but I bet you're right! I actually have seen Beverly Hills Girls AND New Beverly Hills Girls. In fact, I added NBHG to the IMDb database since it's pretty much a completely different film than the first. Unfortunately, the yahoos over there added the new title but refused to accept my cast corrections (much of the cast of BHG is actually the cast only seen in NBHG).The Bloody Pit of Horrorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419921450872885649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214930440884348127.post-70547474843439188282015-07-18T21:03:46.357-04:002015-07-18T21:03:46.357-04:00tracked this one down just two weeks ago after rea...tracked this one down just two weeks ago after reading about it in one of my old issues of FEMME FATALES (#2; fall 1992). <br /><br />producer glen(n) kral talks first about BEVERLY HILLS GIRLS (1986), which, if you haven't seen it, is a softcore pic with the production value and script of typical SOV porn. i take it that the director -- 'ward jeffries' -- is actually jeffrey lynn ward (a link the imdb isn't aware of). according to the article, ward wrote GIRLS in six hours and shot it in a day and a half. kral claims to have been DP on donald farmer's VAMPIRE COP's "three man crew" (ward was credited as a gaffer there).<br /><br />re THE DWELLING: "it began in january, 1989 as a $6,000, a 6-minute product reel ... with lisa toothman cast in the female lead ... 'it sat on the shelf for a couple of years ... [later] at cannes [we got] $450,000 pre-sale off the trailer.' ... the feature-length version ... was produced in 1992 with michelle bauer recast in the toothman role. ... tragedy occurred twice on the set [when] a stuntman was almost deep-fried [in a botched car stunt], and a popular L.A. landmark was actually set aflame. ... one scene required a 'seedy motel' exterior, so the crew located a flop house occupied by real prostitutes and drug addicts. ... bauer was supposed to bare her breasts only a short distance from the motel, but the director nixed the idea because he was afraid nudity may 'stir up' a very unsavory crowd. the scene was finally filmed at an angle that gave the illusion bauer was topless. 'the shot was cropped to the top of her bathing suit ... we ruined business for the pushers and hookers. they saw the camera and the lights and thought it was a raid." bauer's demon make-up was applied in 90 minutes, and exteriors were shot at LA's 'hollywood stage'.<br /><br />it goes on to say that kral's upcoming project, RASTA MAN, was to star tommy chong (didn't happen), and that he would collaborate with ward again for a horror film called HELLOWEEN HIGH (possibly HALLOWS POINT, 15 years later).spookyx3noreply@blogger.com
