Real Acting, Real Plot, and Hot Sex!
eclecticist8 July 2008
This film, together with its prequel and two sequels, is the best adult movie I've ever watched. Part 2 is my personal favorite. It actually has a plot, and the erotic sequences are credible within the context of the film. This is not just a lot of people having sex.

In addition, it features some of the best acting ever in an erotically-oriented movie. Raven, in particular, is devastatingly effective in her role. Taija Rae, too, is very emotionally convincing, although Gloria Leonard seems unsure what effect she is trying to achieve.

Erotically, this film pushes all kinds of buttons beyond just the obvious (incest) theme. The set-ups for the sex scenes includes real build-ups of erotic tension, which makes all the difference when the actual sex happens. Definitely worth your while if you like something more than just disconnected sex scenes (though the sex sizzles as well).

Excellent Incest-Themed Porno Soap-Opera!!!
EVOL6669 February 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I've had this disc in a pile with a bunch of others that I never got around to for at least two years now. Got snowed-in over the weekend, and since I don't have cable at the moment-it gave me an excuse to go through some of my ridiculously large backlog of DVDs that I haven't yet watched-and amongst them was this gem. I knew absolutely nothing about this film or the mini-series...never heard of it, knew nothing about the plot- hell...I didn't even know it was a porn film. From the title I figured it would be some kind of lame mondo film. I must say after watching-that I was VERY pleasantly surprised by this one. Unfortunately-I only have this entry in the series-but rest assured that I will be hunting down the other ones soon...

Although I haven't yet gotten to see the first entry-here's what I gather so far. Nina is a f!cked up and manipulative little slut in an equally f!cked up family. She begins an incestuous relationship with her father which eventually becomes known to her mother as well. Mom starts downing pills as a means to cope-and Nina uses her sexual wares to seduce everyone in sight and toy with them for her own satisfaction and personal gain. In this particular entry-Nina is already well into her relationship with her dad-and she also has a female friend that she likes to toy with and manipulate. They had a previous sexual encounter of which the female friend wants more-but Nina only agrees if her friend brings her brother over and they both f!ck him! Of course the friend agrees-they both bone the brother!! Later on Nina forces her friend to go down on her mom as well!!! Then the friend gets all whacked out and ends up working at a massage parlor because she's so destitute with guilt and shame!!!! This only scratches the surface as to what goes on in this particular entry-for more details I highly suggest you watch it for yourself...

Wall-to-wall arousing sex scenes and packed with sleazy incest themes-TABOO American-STYLE is sure to become a new personal favorite if the other entries hold up as well as this one. The storyline is complex and interesting (if a bit too twisted for the average viewer...) and the acting is really quite decent overall given that it's a bunch of pornstars trying to turn in 'serious' dramatic performances. Raven absolutely owns the role of the bitchy, twisted, and self-serving Nina-and most of the supporting actors/actresses fill their roles nicely as well. All of the female performers are also attractive if you can get past the three-foot-high 80s hair-dos. I absolutely give this one my full recommendation for those that enjoy sleazy porn with a solid storyline. I personally can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series...9/10

This is the best erotic movie i have ever seen be it story or situation created for story n scenes to move ,it excels in all the department.It also has great acting by its lead actors.Now a days movies are straight without any emphasis on content.The story line too moves smoothly with its previous sequel.so it adds much larger interest n craze to watch and the music in the background too is excellent matching what is happening on the screen.So in a way its very hot journey with fine tuning between story telling and superb direction Thumbs up to maker of this classic excellent movie which will be appreciated for long time to come.It will be known for its sheer intensity.Although it has taboo topic but then its worth watching

The plot thickens
lor_3 April 2018
Still running a trim hour long, the second installment of Henri Pachard & Rick Marx's "Taboo American Style" packs a wallop in the incest department, painting quite a vivid picture of hellcat Raven's evil influence on all around her.

Part 1 climaxed with her bedding down with daddy Paul Thomas, but in Part 2 she gets to exert absolute control over her family. PT's decision in Part 1 that "there will be no divorce", as disgraced mama Gloria Leonard is banished from his bedroom after caught having hanky panky in the basement with their handyman R. Bolla, leads to Raven taking up permanent residence in daddy's bed. Their incestuous relationship is presented as permanent as well, with the psychological (if not legal) ramifications significantly a part of the story line.

Bolla got fired, and his children are now corrupted by Raven, forcing them to have incestuous sex with each other as she joins in for a hot threesome, including arousing lesbian sex with his daughter Taija Rae. Daddy PT is submissive to the point of painting Raven's toenails for her, in what I took to be a nice reference to the classic Lolita of Nabokov's novel. But Raven is a far more sinister character than that.

She gets to have sex with Bolla too, and dominates him as well, forcing him to masturbate while she watches, and then taking his spunk to wipe on her mom's face triumphantly. It's the sort of hyper-dramatic content that Marx & Pachard present for viewers that has not lost its impact some 33 years later.

She forces daddy PT to hump her while mom Gloria Leonard's in the same room with them, and the feature ends with even more humiliation meted out to both PT and Raven's once BFF Taija Rae (Bolla's daughter) whose incest with brother Frank Serrone has so affected the girl that she's end up as a prostitute working in a massage parlor.

As alluded to effectively in Part 1, in a scene where Raven comments to Taija how her parents only watch corny soap opera entertainment on TV (like "Dallas" and "Falcon Crest") where family life is false presented and "nothing is real", Marx and Pachard deliver on the serious pornographer's Holy Grail of presenting something resembling a mainstream movie but with the actual sex actually depicted, rather than omitted or reduced to panning over to a fireplace or waves crashing on the shore or a closeup of fingers clutching a bedsheet.
