"A porn flick that has to be seen to be believed. This is one of those rare cases where the term "legend" is not used loosely. And neither is the word "fist". Oh wait.... I think I might be getting this mixed up with another movie......"

Anyway, I also watched a lot for random stuff either because I already managed to see the movies I really wanted to see or because there was only some specific movies that would fit my schedule.
