The Dallas Connection
Lead star Bruce Penhall's wife was upset about the highly explicit sex scene he shot with playboy playmate Julie K. Smith in the film. The lengthy scene shows them naked, having sex in a jacuzzi with Penhall enthusiastically feeling up and licking Smith's dripping wet, fully nude body all over for minutes on end and repeatedly sucking her nipples. The latter shot was featured in the Playboy magazine's November 1995 issue as part of the most notable sex scenes of the year and made his wife even more upset. Executive producer , famous for including gratuitous sex and nudity in his films, commended Penhall for filming such a raunchy scene despite being married and having children. Sidaris noted that Penhall was an ex-athlete in real life and was playing a macho character, so Penhall wasn't going to hold himself back in any way, specially against a beautiful, fully nude playboy playmate. So Penhall really got into the scene and absolutely went for it. Smith on her part was as into it as Penhall if not even more so as Sidaris noted that Penhall was an equally handsome man with a great physique. Together, Penhall and Smith delivered one of the steamiest scenes in the Sidaris film series.,The black Mercedes sedan has European wheel covers and two license plates in France vs. the one license and U.S. wheels on the model used at the house and the airport hanger.,Black Widow: Boys. After you've finished with those guys, rape these bitches and kill them.,Featured in Some Nudity Required (1998),"The Dallas Connection" delivers the expected breasts, travelogue footage, explosions, and even some legitimate plot twists, but it has too many drawn-out non-action sequences, probably the result of Andy Sidaris & son Christian stretching the film to make it reach the 90-minute mark. As the female lead, Sam Phillips is a poor replacement for Suzi Simpson (not to mention Dona Speir). Suzi did a very good job in "Enemy Gold", and I wonder why Sidaris didn't cast her again. Sam is portrayed as useless in the action scenes. She is easily controlled by an unarmed man, while in "Enemy Gold" Suzi easily disarmed an armed man in about 3 seconds - see the difference? Julie K. Smith and Wendy Hamilton (a stunningly beautiful woman) do about 95% stripping and 5% action. Julie Strain is fine as long as she doesn't have to speak - when she does, the illusion is ruined. In terms of the female action quotient, this is probably Sidaris' most disappointing film since "Malibu Express". (**),
