3rd Times A Charm, 23 March 2004

Taboo III brings back Kay Parker as the star focusing on the character of Barbara Scott again who is still lusting for her son Paul who has moved out. She lives with her son Jimmy the infamous Jerry Buttler and his girlfriend who Barbara disaproves of. This 1984 film reeks of 80's in terms of the subplot about Jimmy's rock band trying to score a record deal , and the music has gotten way more cheesy since the first two making it all the better. The main problem with this film though is the picture is wayyy too dark suffering from a dark tint making the scenes hard to watch and it runs way to long for a porno movie 95 minutes. Still a good watch...look for Ron Jeremy as the record producer classic scene

9/10

The third film in this notorious series is most interesting for what it doesn't say, as opposed to what it does. In many ways, it actively contradicts what has gone before, and there's a disturbing subtext. (And given the subject of its maintext, that's saying something.) To begin with, we have Kay Parker and Honey Wilder returning to the roles they played in the first two films. However, while Parker's character mentioned that her son (who was also her lover) had gone off to live with his father in Taboo II, in this one he seems to have been living with her for a while ... only to suddenly abandon her, leaving her with her other son (played by Jerry Butler.) Meanwhile, Wilder's marriage has disintegrated and she's now shacked up with *her* other son (not the son she was schtupping in Taboo II.)

I don't think anyone needs a guide to what's going to happen here. Parker and Wilder end up knocking boots with each other's sons, as well as their own, and said sons have lots of other sexual encounters. But it's with this film that the series begins to show a problem of sustainability. Put bluntly, adult films can't realistically argue for monogamy, or even on-going relationships, so while the previous film ended with Wilder's marriage weirdly rejuvenated by the various incestuous couplings going on, it's described as over here. The film ends with Parker breathily announcing that she feels beautiful, but in subsequent films her character becomes more and more stressed as a result of the taboo that she's violating. So even as the films seem to be showing incest as "fun for everyone", they also portray it as damaging. Realistic, yes, but not really the sort of thing that audiences enjoy ...

An Absolute Piece Of Crap!!!, 27 August 2008
Author: Sally Villan from United States

Shame on Kay Parker for reprising her role. This film is absolutely nothing. With the exception of "Innocent Taboo" (not related to this film...Read my review on it at IMDb) no film/ video with "taboo" in the title after "Taboo II" is worth watching. Taboo American Style in a good porn mini-series, though. I can't explain how disappointed I was that Jerry Butler was in this film. He is just not appropriate for that role! As another reviewer said, "the film is much too dark"...It's difficult to watch, and for me it's even harder for me to accept it as a taboo movie. It is the equivalent of the karate kid part III. Don't get mad at me, I'm just trying to save you about 85 minutes of time!

Better than No2, but not as good as No 1, 14 January 2007
Author: goat66 from Australia

Kay Parker has always been hot. Let me make that perfectly obvious from ball one. Honey Wilder is almost at KP's standard....this is one of her finest offerings no doubt. But unfortunately the two male leads who play the sons are hopeless. Jerry Butler has never looked like he enjoyed being in porn, and Blake Palmer (?) is lame at best as Honey Wilder's son. And there is absolutely no flow on in story from Taboo 2 which makes the title somewhat superfluous. However the pure heat of KP and HW make up for the obvious shortcomings of this film. Both give ripping performances with plenty to like for fans of them. Again, like Taboo 2, could have been so much better, but easily hotter than it's immediate predecessor.
