Coma Ward is a rather bizarre offering from Forbidden Video. It's not a rape film, not a bondage film, but more of a dark comedy, significant mainly because it stars Gauge, Forbidden's most popular performer, now a big adult star, making a return appearance with the company she began with. As the film opens, Gauge is a patient in a hospital, lying unconscious in her bed, in the throws of a yearlong coma. She is attended to by a caring nurse, played by Chenin Blanc.
The camera details all the action as the nurse removes Gauge's clothing, shaves around her pussy and gives her a sponge bath as she lays in bed. She cleans Gauge's breasts and works her way down to her pussy. As she is rubbing that area, she suddenly notices Gauge reacting to the stimulation. After a year in coma she's showing some movement? The excited nurse immediately pages the only doctor on call, played by Kyle Stone.
The doctor is nursing a drink at a nearby bar, depressed over the news that his medical license has been suspended and he will most likely never practice medicine again. So when his beeper goes off announcing his help in the coma ward, he reluctantly heads out for what he thinks will be his final assignment.
When the doctor learns that the patient responded to clitoral stimulation, and taking a look at the beautiful Gauge in her bed, he decides what the heck? Let's have some fun and go out in style! He openly massages her breasts in full view of the watching nurse. "But doctor," the nurse advises, "she responded when her clitoris was touched."
"I have to check on her general state of health first," he replies. "We'll get to the sweet spot soon enough."
He eventually moves on to her clitoris and gets the same response that the nurse did. So he moves on sticking his gloved fingers in her pussy and stimulating her there. At this point he comes up with an idea. The nurse is so eager to see Gauge recover that she will agree to anything. The doctor slyly suggests some "extreme measures". He tells her to suck on Gauge's breasts, and she willingly goes along with it.
"Are you in this for the long haul?" he asks.
"Whatever it takes," she replies. So this leads to her giving Gauge some oral sex, then she and the doctor work together sexually stimulating Gauge's body.
He tells the nurse to strip, telling her that Gauge is responding to the sexual energy in the room. "Nurse, I need you to suck my dick, stat!", he orders, and she obediently complies. This leads to the doctor having the unconscious Gauge perform oral sex on him, and ends with him fucking her until (surprise!) she awakens from her coma at last. Sexual Stimulation Therapy cured her! A medical miracle!
Kyle Stone, who was excellent in Forbiddens' Open House, gives another fine performance here, perfectly deadpanning his lines and getting the biggest laughs of the tape. Chenin previously played a not-so-bright victim in The Personal Trainer; she carries on the legacy of the dumb blonde by blindly granting Dr. Kyle's every filthy request. He must know what he's doing; he's a doctor! Gauge? Well, she's Gauge. With no speaking lines until the very end, she gets to just lay there and get sexually aroused by the others, maybe her easiest paycheck ever.
This was a tough one for me to grade. On one hand, it's a fairly entertaining comedy with appealing performers, fast-paced and well-directed. On the other hand, those looking for anything darker will probably wonder what the heck Forbidden was thinking when they made this one, since it has little in common with their other works other than the hardcore sex. Fans of Gauge's vanilla X-rated stuff with probably like it. While I was amused by it, I wasn't turned on at all by it. Still, I can accept it for what it is.
