Summary: A dead-on sexy spoof of TV's Survivor
Review: Erotic Survivor is a pretty funny spoof of the reality show Survivor, poking great fun in particular at the whole alliance and trust aspect of the game. We see a lot of individual segments with each character, which makes the Survivor gambit play even better. We start out with 8 contestants, all of whom are stranded out in the woods a good hundred feet from civilization, and director John Bacchus stands in as the Jeff Probst-like host. The contestants are in for 3 days of roughing it, while competitions are held each day to determine what tribe loses out. On one side we have the Hey-Hu-Nanni tribe with the annoying hypocrite Christian, the weird whiskey-drinking Ward (who actually resembles Burt Ward), the doped-up hippy Bernie, and Mary the professional censor. Across the way, there is the Pu-Nanni tribe consisting of a red-headed Esmerelda Dellarocco, Jade Duboir, the enticing Misty Mundae, and the typically outgoing Darian Caine. The girls' principal weakness is their preoccupation with carnal matters of a decidedly female nature, although this preoccupation also affords them an effective means of keeping their spirits up. The prize all of these men and women are playing for is an incredible sum of twenty dollars (that's not a typo)-that kind of money can buy you a lot of beer, as Darian points out. Competitions consist of a truth-baring relay with something other than a baton, a Spam can-opening contest, and a question and answer round on the subject of sexuality. The erotic segments of the movie aren't bad, but they're not what I would call sizzling either. Fans of both Darian Caine and Misty Mundae should not work themselves into a frenzy because there is no intense interaction between the two here; I myself found that somewhat disappointing. Actual Survivor moments are put to good use here, including a tapioca search and the discovery of a supposedly hot mud pit. If you watch this movie for the girls only, you might be disappointed to find that there is as much time spent on spoofing Survivor as there is. The erotic action is actually somewhat limited in this Seduction Cinema production, but there is a better than average amount of comedy. My particular favorite moment is Esmerelda stopping to light a cigarette while trying to start a fire by banging rocks together. Featuring a heavy-handed satirical take on Survivor, plenty of laughs, and a decent amount of Seduction Cinema girls being Seduction Cinema girls, this low-budget video is not a bad way to waste and hour and a half.

Summary: This one needs to be voted off the island
Review: Fans of the CBS show "Survivor" and of raunchy comedy will love "Erotic Survivor." This is a movie that has a lot of laughs for anyone who likes a good dirty joke. There are some delightfully nasty scenes in the movie, but this spoof is geared more toward a comic slant than an X-rated one. This movie is VERY low budget, but that doesn't take much away from it. Where else will you see contestants bringing sex toys, whiskey, and cigarettes for their luxury items? This movie is packed full of laughs, and still remains almost as fun to watch as the real show.

Summary: Vote it off the island!
Review: I agree with the other reviewer...this was very lame. It tried to be funny and sexy and failed miserably on both points. Bad acting and not enough action (to make it worse, the "action" that was there was not very entertaining). I'd give it 0 stars if I could. This one definitely needs to be voted off the island and erased from memory. It was not worth the money.

Summary: why did they make this movie?
Review: i'm a huge fan of seduction cinema's "erotic parody" movies, and of director john bacchus. the original EROTIC SURVIVOR is an exceptionally well-made goof on the popular television series, full of hilarious jokes (like all of bacchus's movies) and always fun to play when you throw a party. however, i'm having a hard time figuring out why bacchus made EROTIC SURVIVOR 2. it has none of the elements that made the first one good, it feels like no one really wanted to make this movie. even bacchus, who plays the host of EROTIC SURVIVOR 2, appears to be having one miserable time. if i didn't know better, i'd say he was somehow obligated or forced to make this. without the energetic acting and funny dialogue that always separates a john bacchus film from the hordes of other... flicks out there, you're left with an empty viewing experience. the DVD itself is also unusually spare in the extras department in comparison to past seduction cinema releases. all you get is a brief "making of" feature and a couple trailers for films that are already available. the only assumption i can make is that bacchus did EROTIC SURVIVOR 2 for the hell of it, sometime when he was working on PLAYMATE OF THE APES, his most ambitious and highly entertaining effort yet. check that one out, skip ES2.

Summary: from Fringe Video Fanzine Issue #005
Review: Six strangers are stranded on the sweltering plains of the African Savanna. There, they must play together to survive, while "...feeling each other out, and up..." The sole survivor will walk away with an incredible $20.00. Tune in as the survivors out-kiss, out-lick, and outplay each other. Much like Indican Picture's Survivors Exposed (2000) [reviewed in Fringe Video Issue #004], except along with the naked lesbian action, this parody actually does have some watchable contests which include: A race where pennies are carried in the cleavage of a survivor team-mate; Condoms are filled blindfolded with Jello; A blow up doll race; Multiple choice sexual questions; and dirty scrabble. In between the contests the girls get to know each other better stopping for sex in the woods while searching for food. "...the girls find themselves indulging every untamed urge, erotic alliance, and lustful lesbian desire..." An enjoyable time, however the reality show thing is getting very stale, and unfortunately so is everything that goes along with it.

Summary: Not as erotic as you might think...
Review: This video has beautiful women in it, but they are like the sirens of Ulysses --- there to lure you into buying this long & silly parody of the TV show, "Survivor." Granted, I did not watch the show or maybe I'd have like this video more, but the tape wasn't advertised as much as a Survivor re-make as it was a babe-fest of girls-with-other-girls, and so I bought it thinking it was something it was most assuredly not! Oh, there was some girl-girl action, but I thought it was mostly lame. The female casting was excellent, but the scenes themselves lacked imagination and creativity. And over half the video was those stupid guys and their boring Survivor-parody. It was a waste of videotape! My VCR's fast-search button got a real work-out during this one. As for the women, I liked the red-haired girl (sorry, I can't remember her name), and Darien Caine is hot, too. Misty Mundae is also really cute, but I'd have to say it was Jade who put the most effort into making this one work. Sadly, even her efforts were not enough to make me happy to have purchased this one. A big thumbs down!
