Behind the Green Door 2 (1986) [DVD5]

The sequel to "Behind The Green Door," titled "Behind The Green Door: The Sequel," was released 14 years later during the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and is marketed as "The World's 1st Safe Sex Adult Film." This sequel features Missy Manners in the lead role and introduces an eclectic cast, including characters such as an obese woman, mythical creatures, a dwarf, and a bearded lady. Co-directed by Sharon McKnight, who also has a cameo, the film marks the beginning of the O'ffarell Theater's initiative to promote safe sex awareness. The narrative follows flight attendant Gloria, portrayed by Missy Manners, who is observed by a peeping tom, Barry. The film begins with a prolonged plot that shifts into a series of sexual scenes as Gloria begins to fantasize. It is noted that the film acknowledges the original as a movie, blending fantasy with reality. The early scenes, criticized for their pacing, eventually lead to a more explicit portion featuring various sexual acts, all conducted with safe sex practices including condoms and dental dams. The film is praised for its visual presentation, despite some issues with print quality and missing footage. It serves as both adult entertainment and an educational piece on safe sex, although it has been described as a disappointment compared to its predecessor. A review highlights the enjoyment of the sex scenes and the film's aesthetic, while also noting the lack of cum shots due to its safe sex commitment. Overall,"Behind The Green Door: The Sequel" is seen as a mixed effort—while it successfully blends erotic content with a message of safety, it is regarded as lacking the magic of the original film. The release is marked by a high-quality video presentation, despite being on a DVD-R format, which some players may reject.
