Storyline
Featured review
Amateurish softcore programmer
Though marketed as triple-X, THE HEIST is poorly made softcore pornography. Ephemeral in nature, it has oddly been preserved by two video companies, Alpha Blue Archives and After Hours/Seduction Cinema.
I'm reviewing the ABA version, in one of its "roughies" boxed sets. It opens with Rene Bond, fetching in her natural pre-boob-job format, in bed apres-sex with our Eric Bogosian-lookalike hero Jason Yukon as Joe Scott. (I'm surprised Bogosian never did a porn film on his way up, like his monologist counterpart Spalding Gray did.)
Two thugs burst into the bedroom (a very cheap, under-dressed set, used over & over in THE HEIST), and demand that Scott pay his debt in a week, upped from current $1,000 level to $2,000 in the manner of good Shylock practice.
They hump Bond, interrupted by the arrival of her friend Gloria, leading to group sex. This is all filmed carefully with angles and "head and hair in the way" to achieve softcore results, with absolutely no penetration shots visible, and no ejaculations. Given its content and quick & dirty technique, THE HEIST should have been made hardcore.
Chief thug Adam Ward, as gruff and unappealing as ever, suggests Scott earn the money by making a porn film, using the $400 they've left him as a grubstake.
He does just that, enlisting a young cutie named Candy (Fran Carlstadt, who I've liked in all three of her features listed in IMDb, the other two being XXX). He sets up a camera for filming as he humps her, and a strange effect is created when we hear the director of THE HEIST yell loudly "More movement of your head, Candy!". Since Candy is her character's name, this confusing gaffe may have been meant to be from the director of the porn film within a film, but makes no sense either way.
The anonymous director is heard at other times during this sloppy opus, whose predictable "twist" ending (mistaken identity, as usual) is telegraphed a mile away.
Music track is very typical of early porn, featuring muzak versions of "Goin' Out of My Head", Nino Rota's "Romeo & Juliet" love theme and the Beatles' oft-pirated "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da". Photography is strictly real time with little editing.
Film is considered a roughie merely because there are scenes of forced sex, but it is very mild.
