Pirates II

And the start of a model pornography policy.

In the first eight minutes of Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge, billed as the most expensive adult film ever made, there’s no nudity. There is a scantily clad bosom (belonging to star Jesse Jane), a ghostly pirate ship, and a battle between rival sailors over what looks like a big glowing marble, which is bloodily retrieved from the bowels of a priest.Digital Playground, the company that produced Pirates II (and its 2005 predecessor, Pirates), claims that the $10 million flick—with its 80-foot pirate ship and elaborate Pirates of the Caribbean-style special effects—was meant to “break down popular notions of what adult movies are capable of.” It’s an intriguing premise—but soon the sex begins, and it’s triple-X business-as-usual, albeit with better production values: lots of writhing, slapping, and moaning. In other words, it’s a lot like the furor that broke out over the proposed screening of the film at the University of Maryland, College Park, in April.
