Two Moon Junction [VHS]

Amazon.com

This camp spectacle stars Sherilyn Fenn (Boxing Helena) as an upper-crust Southern belle who abandons the posh life for sex on the road with a carny worker. Naturally, the older folk (Burl Ives, Louise Fletcher) take exception. Typically silly, soft-porn stuff from director Zalman King (Wild Orchid), this erotic joke of a movie is good for putting one's busy brain on hold for awhile. Colorful support from Kristy McNichol as a cowgirl, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and the late Hervé Villechaiz (Fantasy Island). --Tom Keogh

Great movie with Berl Ives and Sherilyn Fenn. Not one for the kids. Movie for couples or a girls night.

Before purchasing Two Moon Junction, I knew that this movie was popular for its erotic sex scenes between Sherilyn Fenn and her co-star Richard Tyson. But the reason I bought this movie was because of the excellent soundtrack I had glimpsed on the internet, along with a few scenes that impressed me in their directing, editing, and tension like at the Carnival and in the DeLongpre's house when Sherilyn's character (April De Longpre) catches Perry in her shower. All these scenes made me consider this movie as something interesting enough to buy and watch.

To me, I felt the first part was the best, mostly for its cinematography and its lighting. Especially when there is a juxtaposition of Sherilyn diving in the pool while the carnival is being installed by Perry and the rest of the crew. Along with an excellent scene while we hear the song Who do you love and an excellent scene between April and her grandmother Belle, the first part of the movie really impressed me. Even Kristy McNicols's character was perfect in her funny role and I felt she should have had more presence in the film. So to me, that first part of the movie works well.

But for the second part, starting when the characters leave the carnival after a big accident, I felt the story turned more into an excuse to show some arousing scenes between Fenn and Tyson and exploit the actress's nudity. Sure the big argument between her and Perry was very funny, but when I watched her sex scenes, I still had the feeling that Sherilyn Fenn wasn't comfortable doing them for she was always crying at the end of those scenes. And to me I think that situation really hurt the film. Not only that, some of them were just over-the-top, like the one in the restaurant which to me didn't work. In the script, I also felt the movie had too much characters that were underdeveloped, though not as much as Chad - April's future husband- who I felt could have had a richer personality, other reasons to marry April, and do things that would explain why April feels that she wouldn't be happy with him and would prefer Perry instead. I also felt a loss of quality in the second part's cinematography, as if Zalman King lost interest to show some interesting visuals and found more important to see Fenn's body and not her male co-star.

Now I am not saying that this movie was entirely bad. Like I said before: a very good first part and a not-that-impressive second part. But I think that Zalman King should have put more priority in his script and directing and not take too much interest on exploiting Sherilyn Fenn's nudity. Because that was when the film was losing quality and became something that didn't interested me as much as when it started.

PS: For those of you that think this version is the original wide-screen version, be aware that this version is the full screen version. So that you won't be surprised when you receive your copy.

I love the way this movie is filmed- the scenery, the music, the clothes etc. Sherilyn Fenn is gorgeous in her role and plays it beautifully! Richard Tyson is instanly likeable, possibly the most likeable character in the whole movie. Louise Fletcher delivers us evil once again and looks great doing it. I love the southern aspect of the story as well as the high society aspect that goes along with it. This is one of those movies where you get what you expected from the trailer, and it's a good thing if you liked the trailer. I don't hate or love the ending of this movie, but the way it's done is so great that that doesn't even matter. If you're familiar with Zalman King movies then you might think that this is one of his tamer ones. I don't know how you would feel about that, I was fine with it, but see for yourself. I would never not recommend this movie to anyone, the only thing I will say though is you may want to watch it by yourself for the first time and then decide if there is anybody that you would be comfortable watching it with.

Arrived sooner then expected in great condition. Video quality was great and not edited as some comments stated. It is exactly what I had hoped for. I bought a previous copy from another seller and the video quality was terrible and subtitled in Korean. It was so edited that it took away from the story. I threw it in the garbage. Please spend a little extra, it's totally worth it.

BARE MOON JUNCTION

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2011

Okay, if you really like those terrible paperback romance novels with Fabio on the front bare-chested and bound in shackles, you will probably like this movie. It's more of a live action bad romance novel. As far as the story goes, there really isn't one. The thin plot revolves around a rich Southern debutante who is supposed to soon be married. Instead she falls for the dirty, burly carnival worker with the long, greasy hair and the King Kong chest. Yep, that's about it. The sexual scenes, in my opinion, do show nudity but don't show much during the actual doing. In all honestly, they did nothing for me personally. I did not find the man that attractive. Sherilynn Fenn is pretty, but the bleach blonde hair was kinda weird (and I'm a bleach blonde!). This is not a thought provoker, it is more like an arthouse nudey. I like to think that everything has some finer points, so I'll let you in on some. First of all, although I'm not sure what the point was, but Kristy McNichol has a roll in this movie that makes it somewhat worth watching for the few minutes she's in it. Second, and very laughable, Sherilynn Fenn has a "glory hole" into a male shower room which cracked me up. Third, I like carnivals. Fourth, and I was saying to myself "I thought so", Milla Jovovich has a small part in there as a little girl. There's a cute dog and a cute puppy. Uhmm, that's about it. Okay, many people will probably find this movie laughable. No matter how you take it - whether it is your cup of tea and you do find it sexy, or you find it hilarious, it's entertainment. I'll probably donate this one, to, uhhm, something. I liked 9 1/2 Weeks and Wild Orchid 2 better.

Two Moon Junction was the first Zalman King movie I ever watched and have to say that it was my favorite. Yes, the story gets a little campy here & there, but you just have to love it anyways! I can't get enough of Richard Tyson in this movie...his looks, his quirky & sometimes very funny remarks, his sincere moments. (I personally think he is very underrated as an actor!) Sherilyn Fenn plays the spoiled rich girl who could want for nothing more in life...until she meets carnival worker Perry. She has everything, he has nothing, but in the end...well if I told you how it ended, you might not be enticed to watch it. Love it, love it, love it!

Beautiful love story. My guilty pleasure...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 17, 2020

This is a beautiful love story which is not too long or too short and has a good pace. I’d defintely watch this film again twice. A very enjoyable Sunday evening film. Sherilyn Flynn plays a rich girl engaged to be married to a handsome man from another aristocratic family. They seem happy enough, but it is revealed that in her teenage years she had a thing for ‘rugged’ men. She’s not ready to settle down and she obviously hasn’t had the experience with men she feels she needs yet, but is doing what is expected of her. A few weeks before her wedding she takes her 2 younger sisters to a fairground and sees another rugged guy she likes, but she’s no kid teen anymore. She’s now a bold 21 year old woman and this time the attraction is reciprocated. A stormy on-off affair soon follows while she remains engaged to her fiancée. Her interfering grandmother finds out and tries to drive her lover away, paying some policemen for help. The ending is interesting too and not completely predictable. There is a lot of nudity though which I forwarded. We also literally know nothing about her poor fiancée. Richard Tyson isn’t a bad looking guy, but I personally didn’t see the chemistry between him and Sherilyn, even though she suited her role well.

Steamy, Sensual, Sexy, Seductive

Firstly, Sherilyn Fenn is absolutely gorgeous in this movie, and I mean drop dead gorgeous. No matter how many times I watch this film, and it's been a few over the years, she never fails to take my breath away. Why she does not keep her hair colour this colour all the time is beyond me.
Anyway, the story to the film concerns a restless spirit, gypsy type -Richard Tyson- who enters into an erotic affair with a rich southern belle -Sherilyn Fenn- who is due to be married. The chemistry between the two really sizzles and, accompanied by some great erotic music provided by Jonathan Elias, the movie creates a wonderful steamy but dangerous atmosphere. Anyone that has been in a situation where love has been forbidden will appreciate.
There are also some fantastic tunes in the film "Trance" by Loria Jonzun is a mesmerising piece of music and George Thorogood lends his version of "Who Do You Love" to great effect. Buy this film and watch it alone with a bottle of your choice - it's magic.

Sexy and tantalizing

Reviewed in Canada on February 7, 2015

I remember seeing parts of this movie years ago on Showcase and I was intrigued. For years the title of the movie plagued me until i finally put the words together and found out the name of it. I wasn't disappointed. This is a great erotic, sexy, sensual awakening of one woman's sexual desires stemming from her somewhat suppressed southern upbringing and expectations from her family. It's a somewhat predictable story, but with every topic under the sun covered in some form or another, all movies will hit that level of deja vu. In any case, Zalman King is excellent in showcasing this subject matter of eroticism. I would say if you're looking for something with a lot of substance and a critical dramatic feature, this won't be the movie for you. This is a great distraction on a rainy saturday afternoon, and I am glad to finally own it.

Everything went well as far as quick delivery. The movie itself would be better if it had better dialogue.
