Femalien 2: The Search for Kara (1998) User Reviews

In the search for ... love

[kosmasp · 3/10 · 26 August 2022]

I am ... or was quite surprised when I saw this back to back with the first one. It really is a sequel! The main character from the first one is not seen that much here, but she plays a big role ... a role why the other aliens (they all look like humans - hot ones at that) came on earth ... sorry to earth! No pun intended. Actually both of course.

That being said, there are way more sex scenes in this, but way shorter ones than in the first movie. I did skip them too, which was a bit more difficult, since they ran only a few minutes each and not almost ten minutes or whatever it was with the other one. I do wonder how the two other femalien movies handle things - no pun intended.

Not sure if naked ladies getting it on with hot studs while some music is playing in the background is your thing ... if it is, do a double ... feature! No shame in getting it on or having some fun with this. The actors did the same thing ... almost literally. They clearly had fun doing it ... I mean this.

Not much to write about

If you're hoping for some kind of Species-like movie because of the title, this ain't it. This is strictly adult entertainment. The premise is that two aliens (who appear human) are looking for their comrade (also human in appearance) who is busy "learning" all she can about erotic pleasure, and in the process they end up learning too. I don't think there is a single 5 minute segment with everyone's clothes on. I didn't feel that any of the actresses in this movie were particularly attractive, but they sure showed off what they had. If you want to see lots of full-frontal nudity and really fake looking simulated sex (an entire sex scene transpires where you can either explicitly see or tell that the guy doesn't even have an erection), then this movie is perfect for you. If want to see something that resembles real sex, then this is a waste of time.

Pointless movie

[culwin · 2/10 · 23 August 1999]

I had the unfortunate pleasure of viewing this movie at the local video store, and man it really sucks. They must have begged the censors for an R rating because there is very little sex in this movie. The plot would be considered bad for a porn movie, and it will bore you to tears. If you must see something like this, check out the first Femalien for a much higher quality film.

Horrible, just plain horrible

[vikasjoshi · 1/10 · 28 February 2001]

This may arguably be one of the worst films I have ever seen. I should have realized how doomed it was from the opening sequence of what I assume to be a space ship of some sort. The visual effects are so bad it borders on criminal. I know that there is really no point in commenting on the visual effects of a soft-core porn film, but the rest of the film is terrible regardless. The idiocy of these characters isn't even laughable. The dialogue is pointless and repetitive, even by soft-core pornographic standards. The only saving grace is a somewhat catchy soundtrack, most of which unfortunately is heard during the poorly orchestrated sex scenes which show about as much emotional intimacy as a public execution. The fact that science fiction is used (or abused) as the back drop for this film only adds insult to injury. If she ever makes it to the pearly gates Cybil Richards will have a lot of explaining to do, indeed.

What can I say....It's AWESOME!! I give it an A.

Venesa Taylor plays Kara, the "Femalien" in question here. She's a being from another planet, here to study Earthlings and their methods of expressing love to each other. Of course she has to take the form of a human to blend in, and what does she turn out to be? An absolutely gorgeous woman, a woman who looks so good she can get laid without trying. Now that she's had her fun (i.e. having sex with plenty of guys, and girls for that matter), it's time to go home. Two of her fellow alien-mates have come to Earth to bring her back. They assume human bodies, and of course they're fabulous-looking as well. Then we have a UFO-crazy guy out to prove there's aliens about, and his naysaying girlfriend (a nice looking blonde). Thrown a "man in black" to the mix and you've got a pretty decent movie. There's a fair amount of computer jargon in certain places....those who are computer-illiterate can feel free to bring your favorite computer person along to watch with you. An average but entertaining plot, some beautiful women, plenty of sex scenes, and a lot of funny parts......it's soft-core T&A without being cheesy about it. I give it an A, and it's in the top 5 on my Cinemax Top 10. Get your hands on this one as soon as you can!

Not as good as the first one, but still good.

Femalien II picks up kind of where Femalien left off. Kara has been running all over southern California have sex with everyone and two other aliens are sent to bring her back. The bulk of the movie is these aliens visiting various locations where they think they might find Kara, and watching or participating in sex.

There are plenty of sex scenes. And all are good. The women are attractive, especially Bethany Lorraine. She's really the main reason to watch this. Unfortunately there's no Jacqueline Lovell in this one and Vanesa Talor only has one scene. Also, compared to Femalien 1 and other Surrender titles, this one is a little tamer. For instance, there's "sort of" a girl/girl scene in the strip club with Bethany Lorraine. But I guess Bethany would only go so far because it doesn't ever go beyond caressing and some mild kissing. However, there is another girl/girl scene where the girls are much more "interested" in each other and Bethany Lorraine does have two girl/boy scenes where she does more.

Overall, it's good softcore that can be found very cheap and I can easily recommend it. It's just not in the same league as Surrender's earlier titles.

Better Than You'd Think

[Gislef · 11 August 1999]

I went into this movie expecting nothing more than your typical late-night Cinemax soft-porn, but was somewhat surprised. This movie actually displays some marginally clever writing and humor. There are some cute scenes, like the couple posing with some "Roswell" Gray Aliens in a park, and a Man in Black who disdainfully looks over a sunglasses rack before sticking with his own. Hey, it's nothing very profound, but at least the stars are good to look at, the sex scenes are done with a bit of imagination, and the writing is halfway-decent. By soft-porn standards, that puts it heads and shoulders above most of the rest.

Bethany Lorraine is great in this movie.

[Mudpup · 9/10 · 5 July 2001]

This was one of you C-Max late nite movies, but what really made it cool was Bethany Lorraine. She is amazingly hot and after seeing her in playboy it was great to see her here. The movie had some funny parts and also gave you what most want out of these type of movies, lots of sex. It did not take alot of time between sex scenes. The only bad part was the wierd looking guy with blonde hair that was Bethany Lorraine's side kick.

NOT BAD AT ALL

[bazdol · 12 July 2000]

Although not quite as good as the original Femalien, this one holds its own. Worth seeing if only for luscious Amy Lindsay; Summer Knight (Debra Summers) as Kira has done her share of Hardcore and is seen here in a great exotic dancer scene. Also, a nice lesbian wrestling match near the end. Well worth the price of admission

FUN STUFF

[bazdol · 31 March 2001]

I think it is an excellent addition to the soft core genre. It has something of a plot along the sci fi/alien visitors line. Some decent locales are used along with good production value and photography. Archetypal cutesy/sexy girl Amy Lindsay plays a prominent role as does hardcore star Summer Knight. Both do a nice acting job. A nice female wrestling scene near the end. Try and tape the cable version though or be sure you get the Director's Cut on tape.

Really bad.

[George Lucas · 9 March 2000]

I really couldn't recommend "Femalien II" to anybody at all except that Venesa Taylor is amazing hot. Unfortunately for us she doesn't show off her breasts enough and is content to play Peeping Tom and ask stupid questions. The sex scenes are pretty stupid, especially the one where, almost the entire time, we see the guy's penis, and there's no erection at all. Still, we do eventually see Venesa naked, and it's almost worth the wait. Almost.

Her acting coach would be proud

[pittston6 · 23 February 2007]

Femalien II can best be described as "camp." You have to really want to see it, but become mystified enough to follow it to the end of the trip.

Probably the best scene for me, would be the opening when the two aliens find themselves in somebody's backyard. I don't know whose yard it is, but I was impressed by the acting ability of the female lead who is more concerned with her hair, than finding herself totally nude, while rapping with her male escort. After a heavy dialog (?) she leads the way into the house as we watch her walk away bare assed.

What follows is a cast of characters that help welcome this duo to earth.

"I'll have the bad acting with a side of career failure"

[Themreman · 6 June 2001]

I had seen this movie on the shelves of my local video store, stuffed b/w other sci-fi flicks (b/c it garnered an R rating and wasn't regulated to the back room). Obviously, it looked extremely laughable, but there wasn't any way in hell I was about to spend money to see it. Then I had the pleasure (or, displeasure, depending on which angle I think about it from) to catch in on Cinemax. Of course I realize it is soft-core porn, and I guess it places it above much of it's company, but it's still extremely nauseating.

I think it was fortunate that the movie involved aliens since we can be accepting of the fact that the actors cannot give their characters any emotion or substance ("They're aliens, aliens don't care about anything"). It's a very handy tool to cover up bad acting. It also seemed like the director didn't have quite enough footage and then decided to lengthen the film by splicing in footage from the original as flashback/delayed mental telepathy scenes (perhaps this is not the case, as I didn't see Femalien 1, but it certainly seemed like it).

Plus, all the characters didn't quite seem to be in on the script. I still don't know exactly what the name of the missing "femalien" is. Every character seemed to say it differently! Kara, Kira, Kari, Kerry? I guess the director thought they were mumbling sufficiently that the audience wouldn't notice (which they almost were).

Other laughable elements include:

-the all-in-one locator/transporter/communication device Xeda (I think that was her name) carried around that seemed to be nothing more than a portable cd player they picked up for about 19.99 (probably a big chunk of the overall budget)

-The strip club they visit seems surprisingly swinging despite it being about 10:00 a.m on a Tuesday.

-The completely immersive VR experience they have requires only a headset and gloves to accomplish...maybe they were touching themselves.

-The VR wrestling scene was obviously filmed in the director's back yard, complete with neighboring houses and a mess of overhead high tension wires.

-Mr. UFO Fanatic tracking the aliens must not think he could encounter them outside b/c he always enters a location mere seconds after they leave. Didn't he see them walking out when he walked in? And when he was constantly told they just left, why didn't he run out the door trying to catch them? I think he just wanted to impress his dumb girlfriend...he certainly didn't impress me.

-The "outtakes" during the credits...I never imagined there were takes they didn't use.

-The shortage of male extras...the same line-less guy is in the flashback massage sex scene and the VR fantasy water sex scene. I hope he got payed overtime!

Even the obviously, and poorly, simulated sex scenes were laughable. It struggles to be average in the soft porn category and by any other judgement it makes you marvel at it's crappyness.

I used to hold out hope, but this movie convinced me there isn't intelligent life in the universe.
