Rating:  - Zalman King fan
I've watched this movie a thousand times, it's so visually sensual. Most erotica and porn feature beautiful women and butt-ugly men, but Zalman King levels the playing field in this and in all his other movies. Both Richard Tyson and Sherilyn Fenn are dreamy. For more stimulating erotica by King, check out "Wild Orchid 2:Two Shades of Blue" starring Brent Fraser and Nina Seimazko(?), "Delta of Venus" starring Costas Mandylor, and all the "Red Shoe Diaries" episodes.
Rating:  - The eternal question -- what's up with Zalman King?
Say this for Zalman King -- he knows how to film a sex scene. His films are frequently ludicrous and always seem to be in danger of collapsing under their own lurid symbolism but nobody can argue that he hasn't come up with some truly erotic images. Partly this is because King has consistently cast some of the most beautiful and sensous actors and actresses in film today. A perfect example -- the amazing Sherilyn Fenn is Two Moon Junction, the insane Southern melodrama that remains King's "best film." Fenn is the deceptively sweet daughter of a grand old Southern family who, despite being expected to marry a typically bland social equal, finds her drawn to drifer Richard Tyson. Now, this isn't exactly a love story -- at least not in the way that Hollywood usually makes love stories. What is made perfectly clear here is that the main attraction between Fenn and Tyson is that they have really great sex and a lot of it. And most of it on screen. Certainly, Burl Ives and Juanita Moore and a few other out-of-work name actors wander through the film without disrobing and King attempts to make a few "statements" about the nature of man. Fenn gives a strong performance (suggesting the charisma she'd later reveal in Twin Peaks) but in the end, this film becomes a rare combination of an unintentional campfest and an amazingly erotic film. Watching it seems to produce a bizarre combination of being both totally amused and seriously turned on.
Even though his name doesn't seem to carry the same pop cultural amusement as it used to, Zalman King is still out there -- fighting to get his whacked-out vision of a world obsessed with sex, jump cuts, and needless camera angles onto screens across the world. The man who once played Jesus Christ in the movies has gone on to be come the foremost purveyor of pretentious sleaze -- i.e., films that try to hide their pornographic or exploitation roots by dressing all the sex and violence up with a bunch of metaphysical blather about the nature of man and such. And I say more power to him. Though King appears to take his work far too seriously and most of his films -- when you get right down to it -- are rather bad, they're also very entertaining in a "Somebody-actually-made-this-way." Zalman King is the Ed Wood of softcore -- his plotlines and dialouge are always good for a laugh. And say what you might about his skills as a director, King knows how to make even the most ludicrous scenes erotic.
Rating: - a true coming of age movie
I saw this movie the summer after graduating from college while I was trying to choose between marrying a law student or dumping him for a summer with a construction worker. I was living with a sorority sister and she and I both LOVED this movie (I still regret not finding out which scenes she liked best). Needless to say, Fenn's choice, as a sorority belle, of a respectable marriage or lust with a carny, sidetracked temporarily by Kristy McNichol, really spoke to me. It got me hooked onto soft-core porn, especially those with bi-experimental themes. And gave me a whole new respect for southern belles. This is a classic and a must-see for any curious woman who still loves her men.
Rating: - An erotic guilty pleasure!!
My wife was the person who recommended this movie to me, and needless to say I was quite happy with the result. Two Moon Junction is sexy, and satisfying for the both the male, and female viewers. The on screen couple of Tyson, and Fenn have smouldering chemistry, and their love scenes were quite sensual, and filled with heat. Nice cameo by Louise Fletcher who i always love to see in a overpowering and menacing role. No this movie is not rocket science, but it is well worth an evenings entertainment. No one has mentioned the cool ending, and hope that you will give it a watch.
Rating: - A Gay Man's Perspective.
Okay, ladies, you're not the only ones who find this movie both intellectually vapid and emotionally "stimulating." This flick made me want to run off and join a travelling carnival! I'm glad it's now in DVD, with easy "freeze-frame" functions; my VHS tape was getting worn out trying to "pause" so often during Richard Tyson's many shirtless scenes. :)
