Who Knew Bondage Led to Sexual Freedom?

Three cheerleaders and a beautiful blonde beauty pageant winner mysteriously disappear(kidnapped) when a gang out to abduct beautiful young girls and sell them into bondage to middle-aged, grizzled business men operates at the beginning of this fun yet tasteless film. Like the first Ginger, The Abductors has the copious nudity, non-PC lingo, and, at its heart, Cheri Caffaro back again as Ginger. You know Ginger - the girl working for a detective agency right out of college with martial arts training and one heck of a bod. A bod you know you will get ample chances to view. While I didn't like this one quite as much as the first Ginger movie, it does mirror the style and flavor of that first film. William Grannel is back as Jason Varone with all the acting talent of a drying, freshly painted wall - yet his scenes with Caffaro are fun and flirtatious. Caffaro gives a much more steady performance in this film becoming very comfortable in Ginger's clothes(and out of them). There is quite a perverse angle to this film with the whole white slavery into bondage thing, a rape, and several soft-core sex scenes of basically forced consensual sex. Acting ranges from mediocre(Cafarro and Richard Smedley as the love interest for Ginger, and Patrich Wright as a heavy) to bad(Grannel and Laurie Rose as Carter Winston - I just got so sick of hearing that stupid name!) But likes it predecessor The Abductors is a whole lot of fun and a trip down that seventies lane with its far out clothes and a style of film totally lost in today's milquetoast PC era.
