Part 2 completes the saga, with a fine conclusion to the suspense story and a more concise balance between sex and action.
Now over 50 years in the Adult business, Private based in Spain is a label whose uncountable number of video releases vary wildly in quality. The two-part "Fatal Orchid", running 257 minutes long in total, represents a powerful type of filmmaking that holds up well 2 decades later, especially when compared to the fly-by-night, mainly gonzo new releases from the company.
Director Pierre Woodman specializes in shooting his stories in exotic locations, a porn tradition dating back to the peak Softcore era when such famous features as "Emmanuelle" and "Vanessa" had not merely beautiful women on display but truly beautiful scenery as backdrop. This crime/adventure saga was shot in Thailand, with heroine Katja Kean as a hitlady from Russia foiling some villains involved in the drug trade and worse. Exotic supporting cast includes Oriental beauties as well as the always diverting Black actress in Euro Porn, Bettina.
It's well worth the trip to watch this effective blend of a dozen XXX sex scenes matched with action, drama and suspense sequences that carefully avoid the claustrophobia that still plagues circa 2016 porn releases, usually shot in some apartment or mansion with no story, motion or exterior scenes. VHS versions were issued in 1998, followed soon after by DVDs.
