I saw this movie many years ago, and never forgot it. When I saw it on cable, it was called sunset strip. It is much better than most movies of this type. I have been looking for it under that name for many years. I just stumbled on it while looking for the actress in perfect fit (Maria Ford). Not just another sexplotation b-movie. Movie has a good story to tell, good acting (the actor that played Sam Silver was great). Never gets boring, just waiting for the DVD

excellent movie! ... i also had first seen "naked obsession" on cable many years ago and for some reason it stuck with me. i have tried to locate it for the past five years, only to fall on disappontment. it was out of print! thankfully Amazon.com came to the rescue... And if your a fan of William Katt, (Greatest American Hero, The House), it's a side of him you don't see very often.

Before you read- obviously if you don't like naked women or strip clubs you won't be cool enough to like a movie titled NAKED OBSESSION ! Duh
Bar none ... this is the best T & A strip club movie ever made.
-and I've dam near seen em all.
You've maybe seen cuts/edits of this movie in other films, also
I believe some say this movie had another title on cable Tv, was it cut there or had different scenes? Anybody know?
The performace of "Sam Silver" is awesome and gives me chills.
Was he a guardian angel ? or a temptation to the dark side ? - U decide.
William Kat is very very believable in his role, and excellent performance here. Because of our "society" this movie probably
hurt his career - when it should have helped him greatly.
The blonde -Maria Ford - its her best role, and one of her earliest.
Pre- boob job- she was hotter.
The movie does deliver with some hot sex scenes and full frontal nudity.
Not like todays stuff - which cops out.
I'd kill for a CD of the soundtrack- anybody know if there is one ?
I've looked.
This was one of the last well done "B movies" containing sex/nudity
before they all went to really lame sets, actors and etc. in the late 90's.
This movie demands a special ed. DVD, why there isn't one and
not even a bare bones DVD release boggles my mind.
I'd love to see a sequel- bring back Sam !

Forget Basic Instinct. Throw it out the window. Throw Sharon Stone's leg cross-over out. Main-streamers like to argue that Basic Instinct is the single greatest erotic thriller ever produced. That may be true for films that were theatrically released. But of all time, no way.

The greatest erotic thriller of all time, you haven't seen yet. But after reading this, you're gonna wanna go out and hunt a copy down. The catch? This film, while being released onto VHS in 1990, has still not as of 2010 seen a dvd release. VHS tapes of this film go on Ebay and Amazon.com for over $[...]. Rumor's abound, this film may see a DVD release by next year if all goes well. Dude, you haven't even told us what the the name of this film is yet? Naked...Naked Obsession (1990).

Inspired by a real bizarro sex murder that occured in the 1980's, and storied and scripted by Roger Corman mafioso Dan Golden, and comic booker, Robert Dodson; Naked Obsession is the lurid tale of a city councilmen (William "Believe it or not I'm walking on air" Katt), his affair with a BEYOND sexy strip club dancer, Lynn (Maria Ford). Lynn ends up dead. Katt and his new buddy, a weird psychotic flute playing bum in army gear thief, played brilliantly as always, by now long gone Brando-esque, Rick Dean, descend into a who dun it blame game which ends like a Fellini acid trip in a strip club set to the music of Roy Orbison.

I don't wanna give away any details here in regards to the plotline. Everyone should see this film, once before they die. Naked Obsession is amazing. Paying tribute to Film Noir and his hero Stanley Kubrick, director Dan Golden delivers a freshman effort that really set's the bar high. The film is brilliant, and visually will knock you on your ass. Doing for erotic thriller's what Orson Welles with his Citizen Kane, did for film history. Wow, that's some hype, ah?

Throw in Maria Ford COMPLETELY nude, and a amazing bizzaro kinky sex scene that goes more OVER THE TOP than Stallone, and you've arrived in B movie heaven.

Rick Dean steals the show here as Sam Silver. If you've ever seen Rick Dean in a lead role, you'll know what I am talking about. Dean was quite arguably the greatest actor of his generation. Quentin Tarantino has been qouted as saying that "Naked Obession is my favorite erotic thriller of all time." Naked Obsession started, the Roger Corman, Dan Golden, Rick Dean and Maria Ford formula, that would continue on for another two films. Those films being respectively the amazing sleazy sexy honky tonk'r Saturday Night Special, and the greatest B film of all time, 1995's Stripteaser. Corman and Golden created, the sub-genre, I like to dub, Strip Club-ploitation. Sadly, the film did suffer from horrid marketing, and went un-seen by the populus. I mean look at the VHS cover art. Would you be inclined to rent this?

If this genre had an Oscar, Naked Obsession would have won it for 1991. This is the best film ever made in this category. It parodies both politics and religion beautifully. I can't understand why it hasn't been reissued on DVD as it is a cult classic.

I remember staying up late and seeing this movie when I was 12 or 13 years old. This movie kind of reminds you how much the adult B-movie industry has changed over the years. It's too bad that b movies like this are not made anymore. The plot, characters, and choreography is different then what you would see today.
Eventhough it is a low budget film, it does have SUBSTANCE, which some movies today are lacking.
