Operation: Desert Stormy (2007 Video) User Reviews

Like any other type of storm. This sex comedy kinda blows. At least, it wasn't a total disaster.

[ironhorse_iv · 6/10 · 26 April 2018]

With the recent news of full-fledged scandal, between President Donald Trump & porn star, Stephanie Clifford AKA Stormy Daniels on an alleged relationship back in 2007 hitting the mainstream media; in which, the adult actress was paid hush money to keep silent. I think it's a good time to check out, one of her, more infamous movies before it get buried & lost in the sand of time, due to corporate censorship. Knowing IMDB, it probably will, in the name for the 'safety' of the people. They ain't really fond of showcasing pornography movies on their site. Anyways, produced by Wicked Pictures & directed by Stormy Daniels, herself; 'Operation: Desert Stormy' tells the story of an inept couple: secretary, Rachel (Stormy Daniels) & her secret agent husband, George (Steven St. Croix) having to save an top agent, X (Randy Spears), whom they mistake, has been kidnapped by notorious international Middle Eastern terrorist, Hussein (Ron Jeremy) on his quest to wipe the United States with a nuclear mission. Without spoiling this porno flick, too much, while a lot of critics, have point out, how similar this X-Rated spy genre film is to a 007 picture, due to the overuse of film tropes like secret agent gadgets & sexy-silhouette opening credit intro. I found the film to be, more comparable to a James Cameron's 1994 'True Lies' movie parody than the latter: due to the fact that the porno mostly deals with an unhappy couple searching adventure to save their marriage; while trying to stop some offensive caricatured Middle Eastern terrorists. Not only that, but the film includes a ballroom tango dance sequence with 'Por Una Cabeza' playing in the background. If that doesn't spell out 'True Lies', then I guess, nothing will. Regardless, I have to give some credit to this porno. Instead of making a shot by shot remake of that mainstream spy film, which other flicks like this, might do. This film also, written by Stormy Daniels makes a strong effort, in branding out on its own. It wasn't a total knock off, by any means. It did try to do, something unique by having long-drawn out sub plots of supporting characters. However, none of them, were any good. I found the scenes with the two, fabulous gay-looking unrealistic British field agents, Agent Jacks (Marcus London) & Agent Watson (Tony DeSergio)'s misadventures in freeing the concubines viva through orgy; misguide, gross & unfunny filler. The same, can be, said, with all the sex scenes, involved the clumsy terrorists and the harlots. None of them were even needed. It should had been cut, like the Nicole Sheridan & Derrick Pierce delete scene. It didn't affect anything with the main plot. Plus, I really don't like seeing an overweight older hairy man jerking off, to two sex-slaves going at it. Together, all of those raunchy scenes make me, want to vomit. Thank goodness, not all the sex scenes are like that. Some of them, are kinda hot. The opening dream sequence between Daniels & Spears was attracting to watch, even if some shots of them, in the dark, was too pitch black to see. At least, those scenes were lovely. As for the other sections. I found, Spears's scene with Kaylani Lei to be nice. Short and brief. It didn't drag, too long, like the other sex sequences. As for the climatic ending scene with Daniels & Croix, finally going at it. It was a bit disappointing. Don't get me wrong, both are superhot, even with Daniels's obvious fake-looking breasts. It just odd that Daniels didn't allow Rachel's husband to finish his job in her mouth like the dream sequence with Agent X. The film was really building up to the idea that they are finally, back in love with each other. I guess, in real-life, Croix and Daniels weren't as familiar with each other's bodies, as their counterparts. Honestly, there is a part of me, that wish, Rachel & George didn't end up, together. There seems to be more chemistry connection with the tech scientist, Amy (Jenna Haze) & George than the main couple, even if the square effects of the virtual sex sequence was somewhat annoying to look at. Plus, I know, the movie is trying to give cheap laughs, but all those scenes with Rachel's tazing George is borderline, domestic abuse. I wouldn't have, taken that. Regardless, Rachel is somewhat of a likeable character and Daniels does alright job, acting. I just wish, the movie would cut down on her 'spoil brat' attitude. It wasn't really funny. Her comedic scenes with the training montage with music that plays eerily similar to 'Eye of the Tiger', Mutt the Bounty Hunter parody and the 'Austin Power 2' style tent casting shadow scene was cringe-worthy. As for the husband's character, Croix is by far, the best actor, in this movie. He made me, laugh so much, with his facial expression and body language. As for supporting performers, they were a mixed bag when it came to jokes. As for the action scenes. They were a hit and miss, as well. Still, it was kinda cool to see a sky-diving scene, even if it was pretty random. Nevertheless, the special effects for the movie, needed a little more work. The CGI warhead was bit awkward looking, along with the California location, posing as the Middle East. Regardless, it was cool to see, the movie have the budget to rent out a camel. It was also nice to see that movie pack a lot of bonus scenes and extra features in the DVD. So, that's awesome. However, overall: This porno is not as good as the other critics on this site, make it out to be. In the end, it's just mediocre. As least, this storm wasn't that bad. It's not a tropical depression like its 2009's sequel. Now, that was hailstorm! Can't recommend seeing that. Check this, instead.

Not political

[kosmasp · 7/10 · 21 July 2023]

Or is it? No pun intended - I will not go into details about whatever happened with the lead actress here (well you may disagree with that term, but with a movie like this, there has to be some acting involved at least), but it may be a reason why some people might find this .. gem. And that may also be a pun depending on if you think I am talking about the movie or her.

All that aside, the movie starts off with ... well what you would expect from an adult movie. There is a lot of comedy with ... everything though. Even Stormy herself does not seem to be able to keep a straight face. I watched this with her and another one of the actors on audio commentary. I reckon I found out about those movies the same way you did - I also remember that some people who rented those movies didn't like the fact that all the scenes were made with condoms. Well I can't help you with "issues" like that. It is safer for all involved.

Dream sequences and all the funny stuff really make this an easy watch. The actors are all easy on the eye - and if you are into that stuff, I reckon the 3 hours are over before you know it. The good thing is: you can watch this and just skip every ... well "dirty" scene and just enjoy the fun stuff ... ok definition of fun may vary. Again this is quite silly. I was surprised that Stormy seemed fond of Ron Jeremy (audio commentary again), because of all the stuff that has been revealed ever since ... but maybe she was not able to go into details. I wish there would be subtitles - especially for those who may want to listen to the audio commentary and still be aware of ... first world problems. No pun intended. The title itself is a sort of pun - which I guess makes it at least a little bit political ... anyway.

The interesting thing: Stormy not only wrote this, but directed this. In case you thought she is not talented ... or only has one talent ... or whatever you want to call it/her. She had quite the hurdles to overcome (no not those kinds of) and it was surely hard ... ok come one, you have to write this at least once. She did it her way - and came out on top in the end - in more than one way. Not everything is politically correct, but then again it at least has women empowerment overall.

Dumb Sexy Fun

[brian-nestor-1 · 9 July 2008]

Operation Desert Stormy is dumb sexy fun - simple as that! It is three hours of James Bond parody that is lifted by a superior cast. The sex is not overwhelming - it IS a couple's movie - but it doesn't get in the way of the plot. Stormy did an excellent job on this movie and gave Steven St, Croix enough room to goon about to great effect. Reliable actors such as Randy Spears and Ron Jeremy also do well.

My only complaint would be that it is three hours long. Too much of a good thing. Nice action sequences, though, and a great (by porn standards) parachuting sequence. Explosions and fight scenes vie with the usual orgies and lesbian action.

Stormy is also a terrific light comedian, hugely under-rated, who can get a laugh with just the twitch of an eyebrow or a sideways glance. If you liked Pirates or Space Balls, this is an excellent movie in a similar style.

Amusing spy comedy

[lor_ · 3 March 2019]

With an 8-day shoot and fine cast, this Stormy hit from a decade back reminds us of the time when big-deal Adult features were still viable. I suspect it stands as the veteran star's biggest hit.

Though there is some good stuntwork and action scenes, writer-director Daniels concentrates on rom-com content, her forte as filmmaker. Her chemistry with Steven St. Croix (playing her secret agent husband) is evident and of course her sexiness impressive.

Many other busty beauties like Veronica Rayne, villainess Nicole Sheridan and Audrey Bitoni flesh out the cast in a silly story of foiling terrorists in the Middle East, obviously shot on California locations.

Worth checking out, especially now that such well-crafted, larger scale Adult features are no longer made.
