A big sword, and big...er, a big...smile! Yep, true exploitation from straight to video from the 90s. Some claim Julie Strain ad-libbed her swordplay, which takes up half the runtime in this film. Others insist she was invited to Japan and spent 12 months training and learning from real Samurai warriors. Lucky warriors! The wardrobe department had it easy, as Miss Strain appears as a naked and possessed babe seeking to possess the spirits of sultry swimsuit models and then have orgies with them. No, not a Kate Hudson film, and not a remake of "To Kill a Mockingbird," but 1994's "Queen of Lost Island" (aka "The Devil's Pet," or "Elixir: Queen of Lost Island"), directed by Donald G. Jackson.
Julie (Strain) goes to a South Pacific island to scout it for settings for a fashion/swimsuit shoot. With her is the pervert agent/promoter Damian (Steve Carr). The duo find a small bottle with an ancient elixir and both seem possessed to take a sip. Now Damian is the great evil god Pan, seeking to corrupt nubile babes with sex, and Julie is...well, a naked warrior with a big sword. Now all they need are models to corrupt. Damian summons fashion photographer Kenny (Nicholas Celozzi), and several beautiful, big smiled models. They arrive and Julie swings a mighty sword. Pheromones are rampant and the urge for sex is spread by Pan/Damian. One by one the models are hunted down by Julie or Damian, stripped, forced to drink the potion, then become ravenous sex machines. One of the models, Bobbi (Tina-Desiree Berg) is Kenny's favorite bikini-babe, and she is urged to take her top off. This was an easy endeavor by Kenny. Then she seduces the photographer.
The other models are easy prey. Before and after trying to flee in horror, they are caught and forced to drink. Now Pan has a small army of nude models to hunt down Kenny and Bobbi. We have to stop here and admire how loyal the plot of this film is to the book. Orgies commence. Lesbian orgies commence. Julie Strain feels herself up while bathing in a stream...a lot! Bobbi, even without being possessed, gives Kenny all the deviance he can handle. Now Bobbi and Kenny realize the danger they are in as the hordes of naked models head their way.
How did you miss this one in 1994? Is Julie's big sword a metaphor for...for...oh, never mind! Was this Julie Strain vehicle an attempt by her to be cast as the lead in "The Last Samurai" ( a role eventually given to Tom Cruise)? This is...well...a gratuitous Julie Strain film. Nudity and nudity rule, with some help from deviant pre-marital sex. For an arousing guilty pleasure, see "Queen of Lost Island."
