A Truly Great Film, 20 February 2006
Author: dinger from United States

There is a scene in Taboo that automatically makes this the best porno ever made. It is the scene when legendary MILF Kay Parker awakens her son to the sight of her giving him oral sex. It is totally hot. Kay Parker is beautiful and her breasts are large, real, and look so scrumptious no man could resist. The climax to the scene is excellent. He is working his manhood between her breasts and eventually unloads all over her chest and face of epic proportions. This kid totally defiles his mother and she loves every moment of it. I'm not sure how many teenagers could not be attracted to someone like that, even if she were their mom. She is a total MILF and we get to see her in action in explicit detail. This scene alone makes this movie a classic. This is not just a porno, but has a real story and real acting. It is a fine example of what pornography could have been.

One of the best **** out of **** and ***** for Kay Parker, 20 July 2004
10/10
Author: johnnybravo19852000 (johnnybravo19852000@yahoo.com.sg) from portland or

Kay Parker was the queen of adult cinema. Most of the beautiful women we see in Hollywood today have had virtually every part of their body lifted, fake boobs or end up in the Betty Ford clinic due to an eating disorder. Parker was pure natural just like a fresh orange from the Florida tree.

On the DVD version for Taboo, Kay admitted there was a strong attraction for her co-star Mike Ranger and this is no exaggeration that will be explained shortly.

In the opening scene. Parker (Barbara Scott) is performing a sexual act on her husband. Though the two are really having intercourse its clear that the chemistry is zero. Out of disgust, her hubby announces that he has had enough and packs up to go live with his mistress.

The next morning she consults her son Paul that daddy has left but he agrees to quit school and get a job if necessary to help pay the bills. "After all," says Paul. "I've got the best looking mommy on the block." She smiles and replies, "why thank you sonny boy." (If Kay was my mother I would breast feed until I was 17)

It's clear that Paul is attracted to his mom but no sexual frustration happens due to the fact that he performs a threesome with two young ladies and another at home.

One highly charged scene is when Barbara prepares for a party that evening. We watch in awe as she rubs hot soapy water all over her naked body, and then slowly gets dressed. Little does Barbara know that Paul happens to be watching as well. See closely at the look on his face and tell me thats not real.

After returning home from the party (that turns out to be an orgy that Barbara only watches) her sexual tension is beyond insanity. She gets out of bed in the middle of the night and on the way to no where sees her well hung son sleeping. Barbara looks, and looks, keeps on looking and then explodes. Eventually Paul's blessed part is between her breasts and his manhood is sprayed all over her.

The next day Barbara packs her bags and goes on a guilt trip, but can't help being in love with her son. Counseling won't even work since her therapist is a horny toad herself that gets off on every gory detail of what happened. But Of no surprise, she finally gets the courage to call the relationship off.

The reason I rate Taboo so highly and don't compare it to a standard porno movie is because I could actually right a review on it. If one can handle the story of incest,then Taboo won't let you down and will keep most people "UP."

Way above the average of a typical porn movie **** out of **** and ***** For Kay Parker, 16 July 2004
10/10
Author: johnnybravo19852000 (johnnybravo19852000@yahoo.com.sg) from portland or

Kay Parker was the queen of porn. Unlike today, a lot of beautiful women in Hollywood have every part of their body lifted, silicon breasts and eventually end up in Betty Ford for an eating disorder. Parker was a real woman and all natural like a fresh orange from the Florida tree.

On DVD, Kay admitted in an interview that she was attracted to her co-star Mike Ranger in real life who played her son. This is not an exaggeration that will be explained shortly.

The opening scene has Kay (Barbara Scott) performing a sexual act on her husband and its clear (despite the two having real intercourse) that the chemistry is non-existent. Angry and fed up, her mate packs up to go live with his mistress.

Barbara is then comforted by her son Paul who agrees to quit school and get a job if necessary to help pay the bills. "After all," he says. "I've got the best looking mommy on the block." She smiles and replies, " why thank you sonny boy."

While its no surprise Paul is in love with his mom no sexual frustration is about when we see him do two women at the same time and another one at home.

One (well one of one) highly charged scene is when Barbara is showering and Paul is spying on her. Barbara bathes every part of her sexy body with hot soapy water and we watch her slowly get dressed. The look on Paul's face becomes obsession to the point of being hypnotized.

Barbara's sexual tension is pushed to insanity when she returns home from a party (that turns out to be an orgy that she only watches). Ms. Scott wakes up in the middle of the night and on the way to the bathroom she sees her well hung son asleep. She can barely think. But she keeps looking and looking then touching and kissing and then explodes. The camera angles a perfect shot of Paul loading up between her breasts and spraying his manhood all over her.

Even with the above parts mentioned, there are more terrific sex scenes that make Taboo a highly charged film that rarely lets one down and will keep most people "UP."

Fine feature..., 6 December 2001
Author: Kal_Parker

"Taboo" was made in the golden age of the adult feature, when producers and directors cared about the product they released to the public, even the actors and actress' gave an attempt (if just an attempt) to deliver their lines with conviction.

This fine feature tells the story of Barbara Scott (played by the beautiful Kay Parker, a true legend of X-Rated cinema), an average suburban housewife who at the beginning of the film is dumped by her husband and who starts an affair with her teenaged son Paul. Juliet Anderson (of Aunt Peg fame)and Dorothy Le MAy also star.

"Taboo" is filled with highly erotic sex scenes right out of an Anais Ninn novel, which proves my point, a point that I've been trying to prove for years that true erotisism comes not only from the sex act shown but also the situation. Something that the current crop of pornographers have seem to have forgotten. Paul Thomas is the only director in recent years to harken back to the glory days. The days of John Holmes and Alex deRenzy... I'm as much of a fan of straight up sex as the next guy, I know that's were I contradict myself but... show me a little something. I know that a lot of the so called "hardcore porn fans" hate the Vivid company for not being hard enough, they would rather watch the likes of Max Steiener or Seymore Butts and that's fine for them, but I still believe that Vivid (and Wicked) is turning out the finest porn on the market today...

Talking strictly action, the hottest scene in "Taboo" is the second scene that feature Kay and Mike Ranger (who plays Paul).

Boogie Evening, 16 May 2004
Author: tedg (tedg@FilmsFolded.com) from Virginia Beach

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Spoilers herein.

When Paul Thomas Anderson was working on `Boogie Nights,' this particular film is what he had in mind. It is, in a way, the classic: filmed, has something of a story, the women aren't jellied and shaved. In fact the real career boost here was Dorothy Le May's who is what today might be a suicide girl.

It also captures something of the 70's where the distance between life and the story here wasn't as great as what is produced now.

As well, it was written and produced by a husband/wife team which by accounts was a conventional marriage.

Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.

One of the best **** out of 4, 4 January 2002
10/10
Author: GlenGaryGlenRoss (spfi@37.com)

Kay Parker has to be the most incredible woman to look at. While the story of incest may make some viewers uncomfortable, the love/sex scenes are done to exception. And the eye-popping Kay Parker even looks good with her clothes on. (And of course off too)

No Feuding But Fornicating in This Family !, 28 September 2007
9/10
Author: Dries Vermeulen (dirtymoviedevotee@live.nl) from Brugge, Belgium

This adult classic holds up well after close to three decades, largely thanks to Kay Parker's star-making turn as Barbara Scott, thirty something mom to strapping young Paul (Mike Ranger, never noted as much of an actor but a hot hunk anyway, here thankfully sans trademark handlebar mustache). She looks stunning in all her budding middle-aged glory and if it's true that everybody needs a bosom for a pillow, hey, look no further ! It's her believable acting that carries the movie though, not always an easy task considering some of the rough moments in the script (which require her to keep a straight face when all around her play for laughs) and dated attitudes (keep an eye out for that orgy scene). The Parker/Ranger footage is truly excellent, some of the most highly charged sex ever seen on the blue screen, helped no end by credible age difference between the two. On the sidelines, Juliet Anderson's truly hilarious (despite being saddled with the most unflattering hairstyle over her entire career) as Kay's perpetually horny best friend Gina who can't help being turned on upon hearing of her friend's incestuous indiscretion. Cult fan favorite Dorothy Lemay won hearts and hard-ons as Ranger's anything goes girlfriend, due in considerable part to her scalding threesome with him and the no less delectable Tawny Pearl from Carlos Tobalina's delightful SEXUAL HEIGHTS. Still a mostly wonderful porn flick, historically important (for tremendous and lasting success on video and now DVD as well as for the rash of imitators it spawned), but not quite the best of the series. That distinction goes to the fourth installment with Jamie Gillis and Ginger Lynn. A monumentally close second however.

Great movie if you can handle the subject, 4 August 2006
10/10
Author: xelalex73 from United States

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I love the old adult flicks from the late 70's and 80's, and particularly Taboo. There are two things I like about the "golden age of porn", one, the performers actually seem to have a connection between them, other than the "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" of later years, and second, the female stars looked like your mom had a whole parallel lifestyle you didn't know about, the girl or Mrs. next door, with a twist. Which brings me to the review of the picture at hand. I know the main theme of this film is to portray and explore in explicit detail the mother-son incest taboo, and many people may be disgusted by it, but if you properly place it as simply being a naughty fantasy, I mean, come on, it's okay, it's not real, nothing bad is going to happen to you, just enjoy it for what it is. Kay Parker is excellent as the mother, and absolutely believable, a fine actress who appears as an intelligent, classy lady, and who can transform into a sex starved nympho the minute she's in the throes of passion. The build-up to her first carnal encounter with her son is more heated and alluring than anything you could see in today's XXX films, of course there's lots of sex in the journey, Kay has a great scene with "her husband" in the opening of the movie, but the real power is not the sex itself, it's the innuendos and voyeuristic situations, the scene in which the son catches a glimpse of her mom's tremendous breasts while having breakfast and tells her "I have the hottest mom in town", then Kay blushes, thanks him and covers her bosom. Also when Kay is in the shower and is spied on by her son is a landmark sequence in the Adult film industry. The part where Kay finally surrenders to her passion and has amazing sex with her son is both disturbing and extraordinarily exciting, the intercourse was both loving and hard, I mean sure it's downright wrong, but for a brief moment, you can actually share and understand the "kinkiness" of the situation. On a very personal note my own mother at the approximate age Kay Parker had in the movie looked very much like her, a beautiful elegant mature brunette with yet an incredible figure at 42, so in my wildest fantasy, (and I emphasize the word fantasy, which means not real), I related to the moment, imagine having sex with your own mother! But back to reality, if you can handle the subject this is a very good porno, if not the best, a classic which has so far survived the test of time, and has everything, an original plot, good actors, great sex, and of course the fabulous Kay Parker in the role that made her a part of cinema history, both mainstream and hardcore.

Kay Parker was #1 in 1980 and never has been surpassed, 2 September 2001
10/10
Author: bayoudan from So. California, USA

Never has any adult film actress surpassed the charm, wit, beauty and acting ability of Ms. Parker. A real non plastic body of a mature woman. Years later she still shown through in her films. Even as the second place star in TABOO II she wins over the star. Would love to know what she is doing now days.
