As far as T&A flicks go, I've seen worse than this. I know that's not much of a recommendation to go on, but who rightfully cares. Snapdragon stars Pamela Anderson pre-Baywatch as a women with psychological problems. Enter police psychologist (Bauer) who starts working with her trying to help her combat nightmares and such. Of course this means them eventually ending up in the sack together, but you could have probably seen that coming from a mile away without me telling you.

The movie features a lame plot twist or two and the ending is really absurd but Pamela Anderson looks good and that's what it comes down to in the end and probably why you'll wanna see this for in the first place.

Regardless of one's personal feelings about the notorious Ms. Pamela Anderson, it would be foolish IMO to deny that until about 1996 she was an incredibly beautiful woman. Her face was comparable to Brigitte Bardot's, and her body was (or at least looked) more natural and well-proportioned. She has a couple of fairly hot sex scenes in this movie, however they are cut pretty short. "Snapdragon" as a whole seems to have many elements of a solid B-movie (including a female serial killer and Oriental mythology), but the execution is off-target: the pacing is stagnant, there are too many dull stretches in the middle, and the payoff isn't much of a surprise. Others have compared this film to "Basic Instinct", but it reminded me more of Drew Barrymore's "Doppelganger"; unless you are a hardcore Pamela Anderson fan, check out that one instead. (*1/2)

To be honest i was not expecting much from this movie.

However, This is a first rate adult thriller, that makes Basic Instinct look tame in comparison. Pamela Anderson has never looked as hot as this. OK so her acting is a bit poor. Well it was her first movie.

But who cares when you can feast your eyes on such a beautiful actress in all her glory. She features in many nude scenes during the running time, it truly steamed up my glasses. The storyline is first rate and the supporting cast are excellent. Chelsea Field and Steven Bauer work up the tension to a memorable climax. A Fantastic Erotic Thriller. 10 out of 10

This movie is like a poor mans "Basic Instinct", that tries to be an erotic thriller but just doesn't ever quite works out well as one. "Basic Instinct" inspired a lot of movies like this during the early '90's but none ever reached the same level of brilliance.

For a thriller it just isn't a solidly enough written one. Its story is quite predictable really and it's build on some unlikely plot lines and developments. The movie therefore also never gets tense to watch and its soft erotic elements also don't exactly help to make the movie any more exciting, despite the presence of Pamela Anderson at her prime.

Pamela Anderson had only just got fame for her "Baywatch" role at time she was starring in this movie. It's a serious acting attempt from her, in a more serious role and movie but luckily she soon discovered for herself that she just wasn't made for this sort of stuff. Now days he is mostly appearing in cameo comedy roles. None of the actors really impress to within this movie, which is more likely due to the quality of the script and the capacity of the director as well, who is mostly responsible for directing lots of Power Ranger episodes and movies. Every now and then he tries a serious directing attempt but he has yet to succeed really.

The movie is mostly being a dull and dragging one, which is due to its predictable script for most part. Also the visual look of the movie makes it look more like a made for TV movie but this is something more '90's movies suffer from.

I've always been a sucker for Femme Fatale films, and this could have been an extremely good one, but falls flat. Two of this B-grade thriller's biggest problems are it's complete lack of any suspenseful action and intrigue and it's pitiful budget. The performances aren't bad, but I hate how Pamela was undeniably exploited and underused in her role as a blonde beauty with amnesia. A few interesting themes are used to give the film a cheap feeling of mysticism, but definately nothing substantial.

Yours truly was a horny 14-year-old when he first watched "Snapdragon", and he only had one sole reason. To see Pamela Anderson's naked boobs! During that same period on television, she ran up and down beaches in a tight red swimsuit, but the breasts were never revealed, so of course I had to see this! I didn't really care about the plot or any other aspect of the film, in fact, I might even have fast-forwarded all the pointless footage in between Pam's topless sequences.

Almost 30 years and a revisit (without fast-forward) later, I can safely state that Pam's curvaceous body is still the only remotely worthwhile reason to watch "Snapdragon", especially because the past decades taught us that Mrs. Anderson never looked more beautiful than she did in 1993. As a stand-alone thriller, it's unbelievably weak. "Snapdragon" is a really lazy attempt to cash in on the tremendous success of "Basic Instinct", with almost identical elements like dangerously seductive blondes and even a very similar finale. Gorgeous blonde Felicity, suffering from amnesia and terrible nightmares, may or not be a fearsome serial killer who murders her male victims according to mythical Oriental rites. Steven Bauer is the helpless seduced man, and Chelsea Field (who keeps her bra on during sex; - utterly implausible) the strong and non-blonde female copper. There exist many legendary and notorious early 90s "Femme Fatale" thrillers, but this "Snapdragon" isn't one of them.

This movie tries hard to ride on the coattails of Basic Instinct, and it almost succeeds, but the incompetent direction keeps it from a fun level of B-movie goodness. For an erotic thriller, it actually gets the erotic part right but lacks the rest.

The young Pamela Anderson looks great and her scenes are worth it but everything else is very dull. The plot is dumb, the dialogue is bad, and it might have all been amusing if the acting wasn't so dry. It's filmed like a typical boring made-for-TV production from the era but at least the sex scenes are good.

Even with the subpar story, this could have been a fun and silly b-movie romp if there was more effort on display. As it stands, there's just not enough it does right.

Pamela Anderson as a woman who was forced as a prostitute when she was a little girl, her parents were brutally kill by some kind of Chinese traditional mob(including fat Chinese women wearing traditional clothes). she was also forced with a "dragon" tattoo".of course she finally manages to escape and tells people her nightmare.now there are two Chinese clients dead. who killed them ? Anderson?? why all these not mentioned in plot summary?

it's a film about the so called white sex slavery. a routine thriller with some possibly political incorrect elements that you don't see in mainstream films. Chelsea Field looks way better, the untainted one....

I was just going looking into my video library and in my collection I came upon this movie that I had taped years ago, I believe on the USA Network as part of the Up All Night Series. After just watching this again I realized the only thing to keep me up to watch this is Pamela Anderson this is one of her early movies. Chelsea Field also looks very sexy she has a few scenes that I enjoyed watching. That is the only reasons to watch this. The story to this is no good it seems no plot is present. Pamela Anderson is an amnesiac who is haunted by dreams of a murderous look-alike. In the movies end you get double your pleasure with Pamela I won't mention the scene watch for yourself if you haven't seen if you have seen already you know what I'm talking about. Steven Bauer and Chelsea Field are the two detectives who follow this case. Really only watch this for Pamela Anderson and Chelsea Field maybe become an amnesiac about the rest of the movie.

This is easily the stupidest movie in my collection, but Pamela Anderson is at the peak of her seductive powers in this film. It's worth seeing for her, and also if you want to give the fast forward and rewind functions on your VCR a workout. I'm not exactly sure what the film is about, but I don't really care either. She will never be this sexy again.

Okay, I checked out this movie because quite honestly I like Pamela Anderson. I know she's no Oscar winning actress, but she's good looking as all get out. I read the reviews of this movie, and thought it couldn't be half bad. Well, it was pretty much all bad. To me it seemed like they saw Basic Instinct and said "Dude! We can do that!" Personally, I think Ms. Anderson would have been much better in Basic Instinct than Sharon Stone, but that's just me. This movie was crap. I wouldn't even thumb through the nude scenes of it if someone gave me a copy. It's just not that special. If you really want to see her without a shirt on, I would purchase the unrated edition of Barb Wire - that one doesn't completely suck. This one does. I give it one star only because you can't give it zero. Save that hour and a half of your life for something useful like arranging your sock drawer.

Needs more lighting for the sex scenes . It needs to enhance. No deleted scenes . Undirector cut version to see the whole . Or see the behind scenes movie of her. She is the main star of the movie. A redo or a reboot of the movie would be great and an uncut version of the movie so it has good taste more of Pamela of her scenes . No more darkened more lighting for the film. I'm a fan of Pamela she need more light in her scenes period. I'm hoping to see a remake of the movie or enhance version of the movie With Pamela in it I don't think Age is a factor for the film or for her. She would be great again.

There's a bizarre scene in this film where our protagonist walks up to someone at a phone and starts mumbling his lines as if improvising them. The rest of the movie sucks like ever other movie like it does, but for about 30 seconds to a minute, there's a weird and awkward performance that's almost worth seeing. Nothing at all memorable or interesting about the movie, though. Pamela Anderson is in it. Not a good movie by any means. Don't bother unless you really want to see the bad acting in the scene I mentioned earlier. Oh, I still need more characters on this review...gross. What's left to say?

Despite its two top billed actors being Steven Bauer and Chelsea Field, when Snapdragon was released back in the early 90's it was clearly being promoted as a Pamela Anderson vehicle. Pretty unsurprisingly because this film captures a young Pammy at an early stage in her career and she looks absolutely delicious it has to be said. The film is an erotic psychological thriller, a sub-genre that was particularly popular in the early 90's. It concerns a series of murders that appear to involve a female killer who dispatches with men during sex at the point of orgasm. Meanwhile, a police psychologist becomes involved with a young amnesiac woman who suffers recurring dreams of murder.

As a thriller this one is definitely lacking in the suspense area. The murder scenes are all pretty steamy and well shot but there is no build up to speak of and the subsequent investigation doesn't really generate much in the way of thrills or intrigue. It's unfortunate that the film is lacklustre in these areas but it definitely is serviceable enough and the plot-line never gets boring. But where this one definitely scores is from an erotic point-of-view, where it is a noticeable success. I, personally, am a big fan of femme fatales and pneumatically buxom women, while I do find Anderson extremely attractive so it's perhaps no surprise that I got a kick out of Snapdragon. There were a series of scenes sprinkled throughout featuring a naked Pamela in action, they were very sexy and did not disappoint. I don't think that you can ask for too much more from a Pamela Anderson vehicle to be perfectly honest. For what it's worth the best acting performance came from Chelsea Field, who is also kind of cute as well.

Pamela Anderson - how sweet, innocent and pure does she look in this one? Yes and hot and sexy too of course. But daymn her naive playfulness ... well let's not get ahead of ourselves. This came after Basic Instinct, which I have to rewatch and you would not be wrong for at least marginally comparing those two. But there is an added touch to this - no pun intended.

There's a lot of nudity (thrillers of the 90s ey?), but also a lot of madness. I had forgotten about the story, though sometime after half the movie was over I kinda remembered. I think I liked the twist back then, not sure how apparent it is to most or if they even care. And while Steven Bauer has been such a highlight in movies like Scarface and you might feel sorry for him .. don't! He got to play with Pam, so no, I refuse to feel sorry for him getting paid to do this. Apart from that (because after all it's play pretend as we know) this movie is ludicrous to say the least. The intentions are fine and I guess there are some grey areas, even if they're not as clear as they could be. Acting is stiff at times (sorry for the pun) and you'll either totally get Bauers character (smitten he is) or think he's a tool ... maybe both are true. The ending is also quite ... well I don't even know what to say. But Pamela ... (oh and Chelsea Fields is in this too, although she sort of plays second fiddle ... again with the innuendos)

Such a silly plot, written by Gene Church and Terri Treas, of a badly acted movie, directed by Worth Keeter, and starring Steven Bauer [who whines and cries throughout], Chelsea Field [a tough cop partner who is always giving attitude] and the lovely Pamela Anderson [in one of her earlier flicks]as the romantic trio in this trite easy to figure out who-done-it psycho drama. Bauer [David] falls under the spell of Anderson [Felicity] while investigating a case of murder with his partner Field [Peckham]. All three do nothing in the acting field to overwhelm you. But you'll love the nudie scenes with Anderson, proving her, shall we say, special endowments. Other than that, don't waste your time.

A little klunky in the directing but a good story. Pamela Anerson is stunning and underacts marvelously. Chelsea Field is miscast but manages her part well.
