4.0 out of 5 stars Great motorcycle scene......, October 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Woman of Desire [VHS] (VHS Tape)

For fans of Bo Derek, this is a must see. Bo is beautifully naked through most of the film, and the casual way in which she acts while nude is amazing. Highlights include a scene on a motorcycle on a yatch. The plot is not too memorable, but who cares.....

This review is from: Woman of Desire [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Bo Derek is the most beautiful woman in the world. Who cares if she can't act, the nudity alone is worth the video.

This review is from: Woman of Desire [VHS] (VHS Tape)

OK, I got this for Bo Derek, who is still beautiful in this movie, like the first time she set hearts racing in "10." It's a fair B movie in the erotic thriller genre. Jeff Fahey plays a yacht skipper found washed up on the beach after a fierce storm. He barely recovers before he finds himself accused of rape and murder at sea by femme fatale/bimbo Bo, who frequently goes naked in flashbacks. We get the notion Fahey is being set up, especially with the twin brother of the murder victim standing to gain from his brother's death. Steven Bauer is particularly painful as the twins. Screen legend Robert Mitchum does a turn as Fahey's attorney.
I could tell this was filmed in South Africa, with scenes of Cape Town being used for the "island" in the movie. They went for a colonial look in the uniforms the police wear, but they should have had more black people in the street scenes to be more realistic. It was hard to tell what former island colony this was meant to be, with the mishmash of accents, some American, some South African, and some a horrible combination.
