Just how into cocaine do Lillian Weller (Pamela Sue Martin) and Jake Gregory (Steve Railsback) get in this movie? Well, it was also released as Cocaine Paradise.

It's also the first movie I've ever seen where a guy pierces a girl's ears while they have sex.

Directed by Thomas J. Wright (not only did he direct No Holds Barred but he painted all of the Night Gallery paintings) and written by Martin and Eliza Moorman, Where it shines is that Ian McShane is incredible as Sidney, the drug dealer who helps make all of this addiction happen. Well, she introduces Jake to drugs and he takes it too far, freebasing and finally living in his car. She's an addict as well but the truth is that she can handle her drugs.

I guess movies like this have had an effect on me because I always think, "I shouldn't do coke because Steve Railsback - man, his name even sounds like drugs - got all messed up in Torchlight."
