Plot:
Most gangsters would be happy overseeing a house of hookers for the mob, but not Marco. THE GODSON of crime boss Leo Rocca, Marco doesn't like being a mere assistant to Mr. Danielli, the sadist who runs the prostitution rackets, so when a hooker with a habit offers to give Marco insider information if he'll keep her baby sister, Barbara, out of the business, Marco sees an opportunity for advancement and violently double-crosses Danielli. Put in charge of the organization's Number One Whorehouse - which features Scandanavian sex goddess Uschi Digart as one of the working girls - the overly ambitious Marco then tries to expand into the drug business and ends up triggering a mini mob war until Rocca orders Marco and his rival to fight "a duel" at a deserted trailer park with blonde little Barbara as bait... From the director of "Mantis in Lace," THE GODSON is an offer you simply can't refuse.

Being an Harry Novak's production you know already what to expect with this : an average film with a lot of naked girls. Evidently it's the case here and more than usual since the softcore films had to fight for their screen time with the hardcore productions. So with this one it's full nudity for the girls and the boys (but none of them look that good). The story is interesting but not really developped and many things happen from nowhere (I've seen this one more than once and I always can't understand why Barbara is in the end or why Guttierez know her). To be honest Jason Yukon isn't leading man material (John Tull who have a small role would have been a better choice), but Keith Erickson give a good performance as the Godfather. Maria Arnold, Uschi Digard, Deborah McGuire, Carmen Olivera, Lois Mitchell and Harlan Ellison are also in this one.

You read it right Harlan Ellison the great Science Fiction writer is in this film. One of the scene was filmed at his home (where he had as much book on his wall that Kathy as DVD on hers) and you can "see" him on a chair having fun with two girls.

This is a film I haven't seen in many years.. And one I enjoyed immensely. While I remembered enjoying it the last time I seen it. It meant more to me this time now that I have a daughter of my own. I could relate much more to Steve Martian's character and I am not ashamed to say it brought a tear to my eye seeing such love between a father and daughter. Yes, watching this made me think of my own daughter and the love I have for her.

Birthday Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

Friends: Season 7
The One Where They All Turn 30
Rachel's agony over her 30th birthday starts everyone reminiscing about what they did upon reaching that milestone.

My Thoughts:
This is probably my favorite of all the Friends birthday episodes. I thought it was a lot of fun seeing how they all turned 30 within one episode. And we get our answer in this one... as it did not start with a stupid card trick by Joey. I guess the first 2 was just a coincidence.
