A Bring Out the GIMP (Girls in Merciless Peril) Movie Review


Tourist Trap

Reviewed by Sloth


Yes, boys and girls, it's movie review time - we're talking retro, we're talking old school, we're talking Jason Whitman, we're talking Tourist Trap. The dvd is available from Stray Thoughts in the Classic BD and Roughies section but there is no description nor images.

The basic premise is a group of young American women calling themselves International Students for Peace are causing trouble in a Central American banana republic. The opening has one of these chicks named Jenny (to tell the truth, since all of the jail guards have an Alabama accent, I've never been able to tell whether she is Jenny, Jeannie or Janie so I'm calling her Jenny) suspended by her wrists from the ceiling, ankles chained to floor and legs spread while blindfolded near the desk of the jail's office. A friend named Jessica comes looking for her and Jenny is taken away. Jessica gets a grope search and blindfold and is taken to the office where after talking to the commander is able to snoop a bit and find traces that Jenny is there. She is escorted out and vows to return.

Jenny has now been brought back to the office and placed face up on the desk. Her wrists and ankles are chained and she has a cord around her waist and through her crotch. A hook is placed on the waist cord and is used to hoist her up so only her inverted palms and feet contact the desk. She also has a nipple clamp applied.

Cut to another room where an unnamed girl prisoner stands with wrists bound behind and cord knotted in her hair and attached to ceiling. She receives a dose of lashing and torment from a female guard. Meanwhile, Jessica has slipped undetected back inside and she finds Jenny tied AOH with her left leg lifted so high it almost reaches her hands (this chick must have been real popular in high school) and she is gagged. Jessica watches as guards torment Jenny and apparently digs this as she begins to fondle herself. Jenny then is suspended by her ankles from a crossbar and lashed.

We now go to our first unnamed girl prisoner as the female guard forces her to drink some kind of aphrodisiac and we quickly cut back to Jenny who is kneeling on the floor, wrists behind and gag removed with nipple clamp hoists applied. One of the male guards intends to have his way with her.

The unnamed girl prisoner is now tied AOH and legs spread over a post in the ground that has a dildo attached. She wants to mount it but it has been set a couple inches too low. Jessica sets off an alarm and in the confusion she attempts to rescue Jenny but they are captured and given one of director Whitman's trademark torments. Jenny is bound wrists behind on her back on the ground with her leg raised high and attached with cord that makes a crotch rope for Jessica who is AOH against the wall so if Jenny lowers her leg it pressures Jessica's fun muffin. Both receive a lashing. Jessica is then lowered and ordered to love on Jenny by the guards.

We are now treated to a second unnamed girl prisoner who is spreadeagled with her face to the wall. Over her protests she gets groped until they have heard enough and apply a gag and turn her around. She receives a good lashing while Jenny and Jessica continue their tongue fest. This girl then has her legs held wide apart and her crotch lashed until she passes out. She is then carried to the commanders desk and stretched out for some electroshock to the nipples.

Jessica is taken to the office for a standing nipple clamp hoist session while Jenny who is still bound to the wall gets another good groping from the guards. She suddenly turns up in another room where she is suspended by the wrists from an overhead pipe and has her ankles similarly attached, effectively doing the splits in midair and has a nice OTM gag. And of course, the groping continues. Jessica then endures a nice seated breast bondage scene until she is taken to the desk and has her legs and wrists secured to a crossbar and is hoisted up several times to expose her rear end to lashing. Jessica agrees to work for the government as a spy if she can take Jenny with her. Jenny is brought into the office, gagged, bound wrists behind and just above the elbows and her hair is tied to the ceiling. She is hoisted up several times trying to maintain herself balancing on her toes. The End

Movie Pluses - Director Whitman liked using lithe leggy girls and this is no exception. Rene Baker and Georgia Van Helsing play two of the ladies and he used them in many of his flicks. There is no breast enhancement, there are no tattoos. Just natural mid sized and nicely shaped casaba melons. The bondage is practically nonstop and I found many of the poses quite innovative for the time, circa 1983. From the plot resemblance, I can't help but wonder if our friends at ZFX didn't see this and make a number of improvements to come up with the South of the Border series.

Movie Minuses - The film quality and sound vary widely throughout. Limitations of a shoestring budget I assume. Still he got a pretty good bang for the buck.

Verdict - a solid B+
