I've just been here (the U.S.) for six months, but I've been a big 
American porn fan since I saw a excellent facial scene (which features my 
favorite Samantha Strong) six years ago in Taiwan. Just recently I have 
chance to view lots of porn review in the Internet, and I have some 
different ideas from Brad William's review of John Leslie's "Curse of the 
Catwoman." My English is still not very good, so please be patient when 
you guys read it. Thanks.

I agree with Brad that the production value of and sex scenes in "Curse 
of the Catwoman" are very good, but I don't agree that its plot weakens 
this movie's strenghts; furthermore, I think the non-plot script makes 
this movie a unique porn movie; at least, this is one that you won't 
forget (I saw it when it was released in 1991, and til now, I still 
remeber almost the whole movie).

Adult movie is a genre because in an adult film the sex scene is 
the most important thing. Any story, boring or interesting, is just to 
support a movie. Most hard-core audiences look for hot sex, but not 
delicate plot, though most feature movies have plots, again, dull or 
exciting, to connect sex scenes. John Leslie knows this very well, at 
least in this movie, and he use a non-plot script to connect sex scenes, 
and most important, the non-plot script makes sense.

 In "Curse of the Catwoman,"the non-plot script works because Leslie
 hands terrific lighting and, in my viewing experience, the best editing
 desgin in adult movies. Everthing in this movie seems to anti-porn: the 
lighting is german experssionism-like(as the result,most of the time, sex 
scenes happen in the dark) the fucking is women more powerful 
than men (especially in the final scene, Tom Byron is seriously fucked by 
Raven and Steele), the editing is non logical (still the final scene, 
Lselie mess up the time order to display the main theme of this movie). 
In my point of view, Leslie hands outstanding filmming skills, even in a 
underground avant-gard standard, and make this movie display poweful 
sexuality. 

Acttresses and actors are great in this movie, but most of all , "Curse of 
the Catwoman" is a director's movie. It's a John Leslie movie. His best 
one.
