Fire & Ice: Caught in the Act

There's the famous Nouvelle Vague - the French New Wave of Godard, Truffaut, Varda, Rivette and many others that revolutionized cinema in the late 1950s. But here we have fetishistic pornographer Paul Norman making a Wicked Pictures feature I never saw, and his vague screenplay is impossible to follow.

It concerns a secret sex club/night club where there's pole dancers like Jill Kelly, private rooms for sex, and the novelty of live sex acts on stage and right out there in the audience humping at ringside.

Scenes come and go pointlessly, with a running "theme", too common in a porn context to actually mean anything (it's so implicit in XXX movies) of men dominating women. We see Mickey G. Billed as "Nick Knight" in the credits (a fake name that seemingly I'm the first one to see through 30 years after???), abusing his beautiful spouse P. J. Sparxx. She ends up leaving him and signing on as a new dancer at the club, befriended by Jill Kelly, but needs a stage name. Jill cleverly comes up with a two-act: she'll be Ice and P. J. will be Fire.

Jill has similar issues: her man Vince Vouyer explicitly states his need to dominate her and memorably orders her by pointing his finger this-a-way to hump a guy named Dr. Dan (a/k/a Dan Steele).

As a team having lesbian sex on stage Fire & Ice are a hit, enough to turn on Dick Nasty and his wife Channone, who have sex together just feet away from them in the audience. The pointless, meandering movie ends suddenly with them on stage as the announcer voices over that they'll be traveling nationally to a club near you as the team "The Wicked Girls", after all this is a Wicked Pictures release.
