the-goddaughter-porn-sex-movie-1972The Plot.
The mafia Godfather is gay and gets bumped off but the family must find a replacement soon. They discover he has an illegitimate child living in a monastery named “Tony” and so they arrange to meet him. Unfortunately, they have made one mistake – “Tony” is actually “Toni” – and she turns up in a nun’s habit!

Production Value.
Very low. It has a very amateurish feel. Everything about it is off in some way with the editing being harsher than a gangland shooting at a retirement home. It just jumps from scene to scene leading to some humorous moments such as a girl’s clothes magically coming off as she gives a guy a massage and is standing in the same spot doing the same thing as she was when she had clothes on. There’s also a scene where a guy is playing a church organ but there’s no sound coming out from it until he is half way through the song. Also, at one point a character shouts to someone outside but the voice we hear answer him back is very obviously in the room with him.

The Porn.
Primarily male-female. Threesome and one forced scene.

Review.
In a nutshell, this is a cash-in on the success of Francis Ford Coppola’s legendary movie The Godfather released the same year as this. The Goddaughter walks a fine line between being a gangster themed sex comedy and being a straight up porn parody. All the usual gangster clichés are here such as promises being made on the day of the Godfather’s daughter’s wedding, the families on the verge of war, crooked cops and everyone all having the usual nicknames. Get used to the “offer he can’t refuse line” when watching this because in the first 12 minutes alone it is said three times.

In terms of the sex-story ratio the movie is mostly well balanced although some of the mafia scenes do drag on a bit. The stars obviously have little to no acting skill which is only exacerbated by the poor production value. That being said the cast is rather attractive with there being a nice mix of people. Also, the guy who plays the gay Godfather at the beginning is so outrageously over the top that you have to laugh and its a shame he gets killed so early in the movie.

As for the sex, well its nothing spectacular. It’s tame and unadventurous by most standards and doesn’t really flow well. You get two guys talking about how profits are down and then BAM you see two people screwing before we cut back. The whole movie goes on like that. Early in we see a couple screwing inside a coffin at a funeral home and at first I thought this was an homage to a scene in Sergio Leone’s violent gangster flick Once Upon A Time In America but when I checked the production date for that it was 12 years after this movie. Still, it’s a happy coincidence.

Where this movie stands out is how some of the death scenes are carried out – hey it’s a mob movie after all. The gay Godfather (there absolutely has to be a gay porno out there called the Gay Godfather) is killed by a woman who bursts out of his daughter’s wedding cake and guns him down. There’s an insane scene where a woman with large breasts smothers a man to death with them. In another scene a woman appears to hide a gun up her vagina and shoots a guy dead while another woman has a penchant for biting men’s dicks off!

It’s all played for laughs but the movie has its one-eighty when Toni gets gang raped by one of the other mafia Dons and his goons. After leaving her bruised and bloody they crucify her while leaving a dead guy hanging from the ceiling beside her – porn???

Conclusion.
This movie is all over the place. It’s just another cheap and nasty skin flick that was thrown together to make a quick buck.

Rating: 2/5

Terror Tales Magazine Cover Gallery

Terror Tales was published by Popular Publications between 1934 and 1941. The first issue was published in September 1934. It was published alongside the Horror Stories series. Like many pulp magazines of the time its main selling point was its depiction of scantily-clad women usually in some form of distress on the covers. This was always a source of disdain for more conservative Americans who believed that the erotic imagery encouraged sexual violence towards women – some things never change.

The Plot.
Four French women get ravished by four men and a woman.

The Cast.
Corinne – The Nun
Zoe – Girl in car
Beatrice Valle – Woman at home
Linda – Decorator’s boss
(As you can see this isn’t a complete cast list. It’s very hard to find any information on this one as it is a cheap ‘n nasty production)

Production Value.
Very low budget bordering on being extremely amateurish however that may not be a bad thing depending on your tastes (see review below)

The Porn.
It is simulated rape so it is primarily male-female with an air of sadomasochism.

Review.
OK – it is a touchy subject to discuss but the rape porn genre has been alive for quite some time. We’ve already looked at perhaps the most extreme case, that being 1971’s Forced Entry which is probably the closest we will ever see to a real rape without actually witnessing one, but that is not the only one. Now if you are reading this chances are you are quite open minded about pornography (or you are planning to hack the site and shut it down – either way; hello and thanks for stopping by) but this genre is one that tends to divide a lot of people and for once there’s good reason.

Look, I am not going to argue for or against the morality of simulating what is a truly horrific experience for the many victims of rape out there. The fact of the matter is there are people out there who want to watch this sort of thing not because they are budding rapists themselves but because it is a fantasy that more often than not they indulge in with their partners who equally enjoy being dominated. And it is all done with consent. Again that’s not an argument for rape porn I am just saying it exists and explaining how it is often used. If you are still offended by the notion however I do suggest just leaving now and reading a different review because the more you read on the angrier you may get.

Now that’s all out of the way let’s get on with it.

I dropped my contact lens in between them

This is an anthology of stories each with a different setting but before we get in to the nitty-gritty of each we get four tedious minutes of opening credits. And in all that time how many credits do we get? Four! Just four! WHY DO SO MANY PORNOS DO THIS? OK it shows us what we can expect in the movie but why is so much time spent on it especially when this is just a 50 minute movie? If that wasn’t bad enough we get a police siren blaring over it which feels like a dentist drill in the side of the skull. Also, the credits keep blurring to red with an effect that looks like it came from Windows Movie Maker. It just looks like someone is trying to burn the reel of film in the projector as you watch it.

The first one has a woman who is jumped upon by a knife wielding maniac as she parks her car in a multi-storey car park. The camera spends another two minutes shaking about as it is carried by someone in the passenger seat before she parks up and things happen…This is not going well. So our “victim” gets out of the car showing a lot of leg and underwear – classy – before our impeccably looking maniac jumps her with a knife and forces her to start on him.

I will give the movie this; the fact that it has a very amateurish look to it is actually a bonus given the content since it has a real gritty feel to it like you are watching a tape that will one day be labelled “exhibit A” in a court of law. I am certain though that this was unintentional since the director was known for his shot-on-shit-deo style on all his movies.

So the girl submits to the maniac and the result is slow, dull, unexciting and goes on for way too long. Honestly there’s nothing you haven’t seen before in a pile of other pornos with more acceptable premises.

We then flash to a scene where a scummy decorator (I think – I don’t speak French but that’s what it looks like to me) is getting trash talked by his rich bitch of a client. So naturally he starts tugging on her clothes and

Nun for you

gives her a good slap across the face which of course encourages her to give him the best head of his life…Yawn. Compared to the first scene this one is over in no time and again is nothing special.

Next, a nun is on a train happily minding her own business when the passenger opposite her decides he is a bit frisky and throws himself at her. This scene was even quicker than the second but is probably the best one so far.

Finally we end up in an office where a businessman…I guess…and his beautiful assistant hold down a woman and have their way with her. I am not going to stretch this out any longer because you get it by now.

Conclusion.
This was pretty lousy. It’s one of a number of niche pornos that emerged during the late 80s and 90s where the only real idea of what it was like was by looking at the box it came in (no internet reviews back then). The porn producers knew this and tried to shock you with a description of the content that failed to live up to that expectation by which time they didn’t care as you had already given your money. Even if forced porn is your thing there’s little here for you. It’s not unwatchable like Teenage Madam was but it is pretty forgettable.

Rating. 2/5
