In number 3, I hear that they actually include some naughty unmarried black women, and some wives who don’t live in houses and aren’t really all that naughty, just to try to appeal to a more broad, casual, popcorn-munching audience.

I blame greedy producers and directors with no adherence to principles.

You’ll never be able to hear “take it all and swallow, you stank ho” again without getting a chill down your back. But in fact only DVD’s 1 and 2 really follow the books, after 3 they just keep some of the names – and in any case IMO the author’s phoning it in any more – no wonder they have switched their distribution system to just leaving discs on public transit conveyances.

Okay, I just did a Google image search, with the thought of confirming my assumption that the vast majority of porn actors are kind of icky. But this Megan Vaughn person seems to be rather good looking, and I don’t say that lightly.

Note to self: remember to turn Safe Search back on before image searching on known porn star names.

Weren’t the first two merely ‘prequels’?

And any way, the car chase in part 3 was nothing compared to the ‘ascension to heaven’ sequence in part 2.

…except that it was all retconned as a dream sequence.

I hate it when they do that.

That’s because it was between the second and third ones that he became Born Again.

If you watch the movie with that in mind, and with an understanding that Tyrone the Door-to-Door Cutlery Salesman is actually a Christ figure, everything makes a lot more sense.

Well that explains it! I thought the dialog seemed a bit highbrow for regular porno.

These are actual quotes from\* NBH3\*:

++++++++

\*\*“Cum not between the dragon and his wrath.”

“I want that glib and oily art  
To speak and purpose not; since what I well intend,  
I’ll do’t you hard before I speak!”

“How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is  
To have a spankless wife!”

“Necessity’s sharp pinch  
Feels goooooood! Ohh Uhhh…”

“Let not women’s weapons, water-drops  
Stain my man cheeks!  
Well, maybe a little…”

“Poor naked wretches, wheresoe’er you are,  
That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm,  
How shall your houseless heads and unfed sides,  
Your looped and windowed raggedness, defend you  
From seasons such as these? Oh baby ooooohhhh!!!”

“'Tis a naughty night to swim in.”

“Through tatter’d clothes small vices do appear;  
Robes and furr’d gowns hide all.  
So please take off thy furr’d gowns right this very minute!”  
“Every inch a king.”\*\*

Well, that explains Meghan’s exclamation of “O my God!” doesn’t it? Obviously a transport of religious ecstasy.

According to the _Oxford Encyclopaedia of Cinema_, the original working title for this project was “The Tragedy of King Leer.” The the name and certain details had to be changed for legal reasons. Megan Vaughn, in this reviewer’s opinion, underplayed her role as Cordelia (Miss Vaughn does display certain characteristics that might be desireable in a modern day “Globe Theater”, so perhaps she will give the classics another try). Bryan Coxx, however, does hit the nail on the head with his portrayal of Edgar, especially in the castle scene right before he actually does nail Goneril.

As far as I know, there are only two other pornographic re-imaginings of Shakespeare.

“Romy’s Owed and Julie’s Wet” (1998) and “Midsummer Night’s Cream” (2005). I refuse to count the lesbian short “Boyless and Cressida” (2002) because really the only similarity between the video and the Bard’s play is the one scene with Cressida and Helen in Madame Calchas’ tent.

The butler did it.

Oh crap, I spoiled it.

Oh well, might as well give away the whole thing. First he did it with one naughty black housewife, then he did it with another, then he did it with both of them.

The title was changed after the makers of Leer truck caps got wind of the script. One of the production crew happened to know someone at Leer.

Don’t let H R Giger get ahold of this. That scene in Jean Gireau’s _L’Incal_ was disturbing enough.

No one ever said there was only one. It’s the _‘Naughty Black Housewives Supremacy’._
