Beautiful Bounty (2001) User Reviews

Not too bad, well maybe

[Pro Jury · 5/10 · 20 February 2023]

This is a common softcore movie with long nude scenes of 39-year-old females simulating sex contact with 25-year-old male actors.

Shadows help us see where the cameras and microphones are placed. BEAUTIFUL BOUNTY is a group effort.

The production quality is all average for California mill softcore, however, what is above average is the musical score. Except for the ending credits, the soundtrack has fun sounding instrumental music that is better than many cheap non-softcore movies that are 100 percent organ synth.

I give this 5.5 STARS because some effort was made and this movie is better than any of the current softcore movies made for late weekends on the pay cable channels during the 2020's.

Not so beautiful...

Argh! The DVD cover shows a knock-off of Lara Croft, but the woman on the cover does not appear in the movie. It's NOT an adventure movie, just some lame soft-core police thriller with sex scenes that end abruptly, as if the actors (using that term loosely) changed their minds about being naked in the movie.

One great scene near the end has the bounty huntress talking to her captive, and you can see the shadow of the soundman adjusting his microphone- VERY distracting! However, don't take that as a recommendation- not even as MST3K cheese! This one's a loser.

Cheap and cheesy

Calling this B-grade would be a compliment to the film as it is worse than that. Basic, unoriginal, predictable plot, laughable dialogue, hammy acting, poor production values.

Avoid.

This one really made me sleepy (see what I watched during the day).

Very weak story and, from the camera shots (it looked like there was only one cameraman), it had a very, very limited budget.

Some shots were from angles where you can see that the actor is not aroused (of course in a softcore film there cannot be an erect member), but there is no need to show that.

In a world of mobsters, corrupt cops, bounty hunters and call girls, call girls Dusty and Jasmine are the only saving grace in this film. The best sex is the one where both people show up.

Unfortunately, I only saw the film's poster after watching it, so I took another point off my grade. This poster is criminal! You have to call for inspection! It gives the impression that we are going to watch an erotic version of Lara Croft and it has nothing to do with that. It was certainly made to make some money beyond the first Tomb Raider, which was released the same year as this film.

Rating: 1.5/5.

The Ineptitude is Bountiful

Take one porn film, remove said element of porn, and what are you left with? This. J. C. (Nicki Dolan) is a bounty hunter who uses her good looks to capture horny unsuspecting criminals. She works for the oily Benny (Dillon Silver), who teams her with rival Lance (Jason Schnuit) on her toughest assignment yet. They must track down a mob informant last seen in the company of two hookers (Devinn Lane and Kimber Lynn), plus J. C.'s ex-husband Tom (Justin R. Hughes III), a district attorney, gets involved in the case.

Aside from the terrible acting, poor directing, laughable script, and over-reliance on stock footage, how do I know this was porn? For one thing, Devinn Lane's name is in the title. I am familiar with her work from some godawful thing I saw a few months back...I remember her in a book store with some other women, and they were not boning up on their Longfellow. Anyway, at the end of the credits, the producers proudly proclaim, or is it disclaim, that the bothersome "of legal age" law does not apply to this production. To use another less obvious clue, all of the sex scenes are very soft softcore. I am not talking "Red Shoe Diaries" softcore, I am talking about tens of minutes of footage being removed from between two characters' tentative stripping and the naughty post-coital afterglow basking and redressing, with just a fair amount of nudity on display. The story runs all of seventy minutes, including the credits. So, when all the porn is edited away, you are left with just story, and it is a lousy one at that. I am not sure about the cast's ability between the sheets (except for Lane), but when it comes to rudimentary acting skills like delivering dialogue or creating a character, everyone fails miserably. The set design deserves special disparaging mention. I was fascinated with district attorney Tom's office, where his desk and walls are all painted a color best described as "fecal." At one point in the film, a major character is murdered offscreen, and the cast reacts with such indifference I am convinced the actors could not remember what part the victim played in the film. "Bounty Huntress" even spawned a couple of video sequels, but I think I have had enough of the series. This is one bad film.

Not among the worst softcore B-movies, moderately amusing

This is obviously a sexploitation B-movie with a very shallow (and absurd, completely unconvincing) police story with poor script and bad dialogues. However, it entertains somewhat, particularly due the good enough softcore scenes and beautiful naked bodies. P. S.: Darwin Awards for the male bounty hunter.
