Description

Standard Digital has done a nice job reissuing the Taboo movies on DVD, and here comes number four in the series – one in which star Kay Parker has been reduced to flashback (and I’m pretty sure stock footage) status, but still a movie that is overall pretty enjoyable to watch.

Taboo IV puts its focus this time around on a family headed up by Jamie Gillis (playing Dr. Jeremy Lodge). Jamie has written a popular book about how adultery can lead to incest, and he runs sessions out of his home for people who have themselves become addicted to incest.

But Jamiemore… is having problems within his own family. His wife (played by redheaded Cyndee Summers) is having an affair with his brother (John Leslie) who is, in turn, the biological father of one of his children (Karen Summer). His other daughter, played by Ginger Lynn, is also as sexually confused as the rest of the family.

Karen gets kicked out of her dorm room at school because she gets caught having sex with her boyfriend (in a scene that includes Ginger getting pounded as well) and the daughters return home. However, Jamie has just caught Cyndee in bed with John – so he’s in the process of kicking his wife out of the house. Karen agrees to go stay with Cyndee and John (Karen doesn’t know John is really her father), while Ginger stays behind with Jamie.

While all this is going on, we also learn about some of the people in Jamie’s therapy sessions. Honey Wilder relates how she has had sex with her son (Kevin James) and we flashback to their encounter - which I’m fairly sure is footage from one of the previous Taboo movies. Not to worry though - Wilder and James have brand-new action later in Taboo IV when Ginger gets to know James and tells him it would turn her on if she could watch him make out with his mother.

The only bit of Kay Parker we get to see in Taboo IV is when Honey is relating her story to the therapy group. We get to watch part of a scene with Kay and Mike Ranger, which I also believe is from a pervious volume of the series. The scene is actually not necessary at all for the storyline here – and I get the feeling it was just thrown in to try and lure Kay’s fans into seeing the film back when it was released in 1985.

The movie wraps up with the ultimate taboos broken, as Karen gets it on with John, while Ginger gives up her goods to Jamie.

Out of the first four Taboo films, I probably enjoyed this one the least, although it’s still a pretty strong movie. My biggest problem with the title is that it takes itself far to seriously – a little fun injected into the script wouldn’t have hurt. Still, the actors do a very good job in their roles – particularly Gillis, who reminds us of just how good an actor he can be when put in the right role by a studio.

While the bonuses on Taboo IV aren’t going to provide much for those looking for more sexual action, it will please the porn archivist – with two separate commentary tracks (one by star Ginger Lynn, the other by director Kirdy Stevens and writer/producer Helene Terrie); the complete shooting script; a slide show; and trailers for Taboo, Taboo 2, and Playing With Fire - all of which were directed by Stevens.

Although it’s more for the porn connoisseur than the “raincoater”, the reissue of Taboo IV is very nicely done, and worth spending the money so you can discard your old, overviewed VHS copy.
