Midnight Madness (1986)

 

[From Electric Blue 39, US] A stewardess is tired of every guy she meets wanting sex, and a midcentury film star is tired of the reverse - never getting past a kiss onscreen.  So, they switch roles. [See the Electric Blue Main Page]

Pepper (Ginger Lynn) and her roommate Patty (Sheena Horne) 

Pepper is addicted to watching old B&W movies; a movie called "Midnight Madness" in particular.

Patty doesn't have time for this shit, and urges Pepper to get ready so they can go out.

The movie features Peaches (Krista Pflanzer) and Pepper's crush, Billy.

Johnny (Steve Drake) and her rival Vera (Heather Wayne)

After a night out, Pepper brings home a stud named Henri (Francois Papillon)

Pepper wants to watch an old movie with him.

But Henri has other ideas and makes his move.

Pepper is outraged and throws him out.

Pepper gets undressed and continues to watch the movie for the thousandth time.

But this time something strange happens - Peaches actually talks to her from the TV

Peaches is tired of this B&W world ruled by the Hays Code.

Suddenly, Peaches appears in her living room.

Pepper explains that she's sick of every guy just wanting to fuck.

Inversely, Peaches is tired of never getting fucked.  So they swap places.

Okay, but they'll have to swap panties.

Living in modern times is strange for Peaches.  What's this thing for?

Henri shows up at the door.

Peaches throws him out.  Pepper had warned her about Henri "the octopus".

Pepper's roommates, Patty and Paula Harlow return.  Peaches explains that she's Pepper's friend from Cleveland, and that Pepper had to go on an extended trip (she's a stewardess).

The roommates take Peaches to a Chippendales type show.

Henri is onstage with Careena Collins

Peaches doesn't know what to make of this.

She's horrified to find Henri with naked women backstage.

Meanwhile, Pepper is in Peaches' world with Billy.

She tries to convince Billy to have sex... which I'm not quite sure I understand as the whole point of this is that she was tired of the constant sex.  Maybe she was just tired of being hit on, and wanted to be the hitter for once?

Billy is unconvinced.

So, she takes him to see Johnny and Vera having sex.

See?  Everybody's doing it, Billy.

So, Billy agrees.  Pepper finally can have sex with Billy and they live happily ever after.

Back to 1986.  The roommates watch this go down on the TV.

Patty lets Peaches know that Henri is here.

Paula gets up to leave; giving them some privacy.

Henri is able to provide a good explanation for his compromising position backstage.

So, they watch the old movie... and Peaches turns it off, never wanting to see that again.  Are we to presume they each will spend the rest of their lives in their swapped worlds?

The actresses are topless for pretty much the entire runtime, so it's got that going for it.  The story was cheesy and lame, but that's okay - it was pretty fun.  [See the Electric Blue Main Page]
