“This sequel to the original u0026quot;Vice Academyu0026quot; is even duller and more incomprehensible than the first. There *may* be more plot here, but it is told so badly that it doesnu0026#39;t involve you at all, and thus you canu0026#39;t even follow it from scene to scene.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe overarching narrative, if it can be said to have one (it really doesnu0026#39;t) seems to involve a bad girl called Spanish Fly who wants to spike the townu0026#39;s water supply with an aphrodisiac. Linnea Quigley and Ginger Lynn Allen, no longer members of the academy (so why does the word u0026quot;academyu0026quot; appear in the title?) apparently have to go undercover as strippers to catch the bad girl. That is allegedly the main story, but they only appear as strippers for about one scene, as does the main antagonist. So what is the rest of the movie? Sketches without punchlines? Thatu0026#39;s as good as I can get to explaining it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is a subplot this time about a misogynistic, hunky male cop who looks more like a stripper in his cop outfit than Quigley and Allen. Indeed, he probably spends more of the movie undressed, at one stage confronted by Quigley in the menu0026#39;s locker room, who rips off his towel, exposing his bare butt to the camera, and his groin to her, so that she can mock his lack of manhood. Later on, he is stripped to his bikini underwear and chained up in a BDSM type scenario, ensuring that this movie will only ever be watched or remembered by fans of humiliation themed fetish porn.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRemember how in the first u0026quot;Vice Academyu0026quot; there was a feeling like the cast and crew were having more fun making the movie than you were watching it? Like the whole thing was a private joke on their behalf, like they thought the whole movie was so ridiculous as to be funny without needing any jokes? Being a sequel, thereu0026#39;s less of that this time around – it was obviously only made to cash in on the first – but this time there is a joke character in the form of female bodybuilder Teagan playing a character called u0026quot;BimboCopu0026quot;, who is, indeed, supposed to be a kind of robot, complete with a synthesised voice.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI bet their sides split when they came up with that one.”
