The yawner of a conclusion to Carlos Tobalina's duly forgotten 1983 inheritance saga ties up the plot, delivers more sex and proves that sometimes it's better to put a sock in it.
The word "epic" has come to be misused as referring to any narrative work that is lengthy, and that is the only notable thing about FLESH AND LACES. In the DVD era 3-hour porn features have become quite common so its claim to fame has been neutralized.
Part II opens in clunky fashion with dying patriarch Jamie Gillis still in his hospital bed, and a virtual replay of the first scene from Part I, as son John Stagliano interviews a SECOND applicant for the job of secretary. It's tall Drea wearing glasses -coincidentally she like Johnny Stag made a mark in porn later on as director rather than performer. As he humps her there's a contusing jump cut to brother Dan T. Mann on the floor humping a girl, but we haven't been introduced to him yet - scene plays as if we've just watched Part I and don't need any explanation.
Gillis calls blonde nurse Rita Cruz into his hospital room and humps her. He seems to have recovered, and Doc Carlos (film's director) visits him to inform Gillis that his condition is improving. Even though he's directing the movie, Tobalina accidentally calls Gillis "Charley" when his character's name is Harry.
Head nurse Lynx Canon arrives and, of course, gives Jamie head. Then his lawyer Tamara Longley visits and they have a threesome, prompting Gillis to remark "Two heads are better than one", evidence of why the movie's three scriptwriters are each credited with a phony name. Tobalina takes a pretentious credit as "creator" but thank god this didn't spawn a TV series.
After a dull visit by guest star John Holmes, Jamie's daughter Rose Lynn arrives, and Jamie gets to fulfill a longtime dream of incest with her: she agrees instantly. Holmes and two nurses catch them in the act. Cast members have great difficulty in maintaining straight faces, as Holmes decides to hump the two blonde nurses.
SPOILER: The kids arrive and see daddy in good health and he promptly announces that they're all adopted - nullifying the incest angle (if it's good enough for Woody Allen, it's good enough for Jamie Gillis).
The kids become apologetic and decide to move back into Jamie's mansion - I presume this is not out of love but rather to begin another waiting game for him to kick off (please, no F&L III and F&L IV Carlos!).
Early on in Part I the term flesh & laces was dropped as part of the dialog, but I still don't know what the heck it was referring to. I'm guessing it was merely a catchy tribute (translated that means rip-off) of the title of a sub-par Joe Sarno film made 20 years earlier.
