"Busty Cops" review


Busty Cops (2003)

Directed by Jim Wynorski
Writing credits William McRoy


J. Nichole Italiano-Zaza.... Officer Maxie (as Nikki Nova)
Angela Little.... Officer Ashley (as Katie James)
Jesse Jane.... Officer Chloe

I saw this on cable the other day. "Busty Cops". That's what the program guide said. Did you think I was going to miss a movie called "Busty Cops"? Never! The movie starts off with two chicks making out in a hot tub. One of them was Kelly from the "Kelly the Coed" porno movies. I knew I was in good hands.

So there's a murder on a film set and the Busty Cops have to investigate. This leads to a lot of nudity. Nikki Nova was the tall, brunette, Busty Cop squashed between two short blonde cops. My God, she is hot! Jesse Jane is not bad either. And when I say not bad I really mean: My God, she is hot! Officers Nova and Jane search for clues in between lathering up in a hot tub and pouring chocolate sauce on each other.

This film was excellent. There are a few softcore scenes in this one but "Busty Cops" is more interested in having the cops get naked and wash each other off. There is a lot of cleaning going on here. Clean busts are good. Real good.

SCORE: 3 out of 4 for Officers Nova and Jane

The casting of Kelli Summers, of Seduction Cinema fame, was my idea. We brought her out from New Jersey. I also love the fact that Bill, their superior officer, refused to take his sunglasses off out of shame for appearing in the movie. One of my contributions was to supervise the re-edit of the Hawaiian dream sequence. My idea was to use jump cuts like Nicolas Roeg! The result was as close as I could get with an editor who had NO idea what I was talking about and didn't care, either. My other editing work, in tightening up the movie, was to remove as many shots of the girls smiling and looking at the camera as possible. I tried to make this look as little like a home movie as possible.

Kelli Summers was a good call. Can't say she's the greatest actress in the world but when looking for Busty Cops and Criminals and other assorted Busty characters, she'll do nicely.

One element you notice in most Wynorski movies is that the girls are constantly looking off camera. Sometime they're smiling but a lot of times they're trying to pay attention. I have this image of Wynorski barking orders off camera so that every sex scene moves to his commands. I assume that's the reason all of his sex scenes have music blasting over the top so he can howl at will. I remember one scene in his favorite hot tub in the woods, (not this movie), where Glori Ann Gilbert shot a look off screen like someone was berating her. I can only hope that the command was too show more breasts.

Jim doesn't bark orders during these scenes, he directs the performers as anyone else would, and certainly gives them much more leeway than, say, I do. I am very specific in the way I direct the performers in the "sexual" scenes, and look at the job as kind of like being a conductor choosing tempo, rhythm and accents. Jim conducts in his own manner and captures the things he wants/likes to see in such scenes. No, what you're seeing is bad editing by a fellow who doesn't give a shit, and, from what I could tell, probably has few sexual experiences of his own to draw upon. It's lazy editing not to cut out the parts where the performers break character or are caught off guard. It's sloppy and lazy not to find ways to get the shots to cut together once you've removed the bad parts, or to not remove them at all. It's bad editing to constantly rely on dissolves instead of cuts in these scenes. It's a different style than the rest of the movie, and it draws attention to the flaws. Laying the music over it wouldn't be a problem if those flaws weren't there. I once cut one of my scenes, using matched cuts (because I took care to get the shots) only to find that this editor had inserted dissolves in place of my cuts when he undertook to "fix" my cut. That was the last day we worked together. The original cut of Busty Cops ran way too long, and I came in to tighten it up, supervising the same editor. We were not on the same page. He thought I was nuts to give that much thought and effort to trying to make the shots cut together like in a real scene. So, in sum, it's not Jim. He's getting the shots and the action he wants. It's merely being assembled indifferently by a clock puncher.
