Kidnapped by Pirates (1995)
Director: Wilhelm Seithen
Cast: Sharon Kane [Bonnie Jones], Tina Lindstrom [Amanda, as Tina Fox], Ariele Cole [Sprite], Be Be LeBadd [Belinda]
Storyline: Amanda (petite Tina Fox/Lindstrom), daughter of the Duke of Cornwall, who was kidnapped by pirates sneaking through a window into her bedroom 16 years ago when she was only 19 years old. With an ugly transition shot of a sailing ship, rest of the video takes place on a very meager dungeon set, purporting unconvincingly to be in the ship's hold. Dressed in neat pirate garb, Kane is Captain Bonnie Jones, and her crew of Ariele Cole and Be Be LeBadd fleshes out the all-girl cast. Perfunctory program has Kane stringing up each of the other three girls in bondage, with shackles and chains, to be whipped and paddled by her for nearly an hour. To call this boring merely identifies me as one of the uninitiated, who has never 
succumbed to the fetishistic pleasures of watching tens of thousands of these pointless video exercises. Though Tina has a couple other mainstream porn credits, Sharon's other co-stars here are strictly adherents to the bondage credo on screen. And they aren't very attractive, to boot.
