The Price of Desire (1997)
A total and complete carbon-copy of Indecent Proposal. Indeed, all these nineties late-night cable erotic thrillers and dramas have their roots in the mainstream versions (ex. Basic Instinct, 91/2 weeks) which have their roots in film noir from decades past. Truth be told, I'd rather watch a late-night cable version (featuring Shannon Tweed, Kira Reed, or whoever) any day than the mainstream yawn fests.

La herencia del Tío Pepe (1998)
(AKA The Inheritance of Uncle Pepe) Director Hugo Sofovich makes the odd decision to return after a prolific streak in the seventies and into the eighties (including El telo y la tele), to direct this fairly throwaway sex comedy.

Virtual Encounters (1996)
There were a lot of virtual reality based erotic films in the nineties: Virtual Desire (1995), Vice Academy 5 (1996), Cybererotica: Computer Escapes (1996), Virtual Girl (1998), Virtual Sex (1998), Emmanuelle 7 (1993), etc. There were enough to qualify to be its own genre - VRsploitation maybe?

RATING: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ 6/10
REVIEW: High energy, relentless gags with plentiful nudity. However, all rather predictable and not especially funny. I'm sure Italian audiences were rolling in the aisles in 1980; not so much viewed forty years later.
SYNOPSIS
The exotic fruit that produces 'pomango' juice, an aphrodisiac. Dr. Paolo Lavetti (Luciano Salce) introduces the fruit to his medical colleagues. Bumbling buffoon, Dr. Luigi Frontoni (Renzo Montagnani) arrives late (as usual) to the meeting. He grabs a drink - not realizing he is slurping down the pomango juice. The effects are instantaneous. Signora Bigotti (Marina Hedman). With the aphrodisiac raging through his veins, Luigi has a hard time conducting this house call. As Luigi is going to town on his patient, Paolo is outside the room collecting bets. All the doctors had wagered on whether this juice was for real. Luigi's next patient is dancer, Antonella (Verónica Miriel). Luigi tries to exercise control. It doesn't help that Antonella has the hots for him. Also note that Luigi is married.
Paolo is interested in commercializing pomango juice. Again, he uses Luigi as a guinea pig. He has Sidonia (Andrea Guzon) waiting for him on the examination table. Il Capitano arrives and is mighty impressed. Luigi tries to hide Sidonia, but Paolo brings her back out in the open. When Luigi returns to the hotel at the conference, he finds Antonella in the shower. [Verónica Miriel delivers one helluva shower scene.] A Texas oilman, Harry Brakson (Roger Browne), has brought Antonella champagne. Luigi hides while Antonella acts suspicious and jittery. With Harry gone, Antonella is back to seducing Luigi. Luigi desperately tries to remain faithful to his wife. He runs out of the room... but is slipped another dose of pomango. He instantly starts humping the nearest female - which happens to be an older lady, (Trini Alonso). All hopped on pomango, Luigi rushes back to Antonella's room.
But there's a big problem: Luigi's wife, Angelica (Olga Karlatos), arrives. She doesn't catch them in the act, but she knows exactly what's been going on. Hilariously, she smacks him around with a smile. Angelica throws back her dress at the bar, giving Luigi a taste of his own medicine. The bartender, Factotum (Lucio Montanaro), gets an eyeful. Every time Luigi tries to cover her up, Angelica whips the dress back open. Paolo has snuck some of the pomango into Angelica's drink. He's hoping it'll get her back with Luigi. The pomango takes immediate effect. It works its magic - Angelica and Luigi are all over each other. But the pomango is only so strong. Angelica resists the aphrodisiac's urges and resumes being mad at him, throwing things at him, etc. Then will slip back into the pomango's control. Poor Luigi doesn't know what the hell is going on, but he just goes with it. Predictably, this pomango juice causes all manner of compromising situations, misunderstandings, etc. resulting in a chaotic climax.
