Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 75
Barbara Joyce stars as Serena Powers and Tina Krause co-stars as Lisa McKay, her assistant and would be a partner. In a case of mistaken identity, Lisa is kidnapped by an inept killer and questioned about her knowledge of a missing $150,000 in drug money. But only Serena knows the answers he seeks so he goes back and kidnaps Serena. He leaves them to discuss their fate and the two of them just end up arguing back and forth as usual. Unable to convince the women to talk, he has his beautiful assistant (Shannon Guild) bring in a helpless victim (Sandra Kennedy) and murders her in front of them. Still not talking, he forces them to strip to their panties and they are placed in a series of deathtraps. Will they break and reveal what he wants to know? Or will Lisa be sliced in half by a table saw? Or will they die by hanging? Or perhaps go up in flames?
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
