Reception

Brigitte Nielsen was nominated for a Golden Raspberry ("Razzie") for Worst Actress at the 10th Golden Raspberry Awards, where she ended up losing to Heather Locklear for The Return of Swamp Thing.[2]

Los Angeles Times panned the film as thematically repetitive, "daringly banal", and a failure as a sex farce because so little of it is actually comedic.[3] Billiards film review site 8 Ball on the Silver Screen also criticized the film for its unbelievable billiards scenes that indicated no training of Nielsen for the role.[1]

gollark: Not really.

gollark: But that was bad and cancelled anyway.

gollark: Except possibly Phi or something?

gollark: There is no 896 core CPU.

gollark: It might work with normal disk-as-cache functionality in OSes, but less efficiently than something dedicated probably.
