The movie opens with Princess Hubba Hubba (Stormy) racing away from the Evil Overlord (a non-sex role by a barely-recognizable Mike Horner) in her starship, the USS Royal Brat. Stormy gets the sex started by getting it on with Ensign Benson (Trevor Zen) in her quarters, but shortly after the sex has concluded, Evil Overlord attacks and (accidentally) blows up her ship.

Not to worry though, the Princess has managed to escape and finds herself and her droid Jeeves (played wonderfully by Randy Spears as a cross between C-3PO and Mr. Data) aboard “The Floating Balls” casino, which is run by Captain Buzz StarFockker (Evan Stone). When Evan finds the Princess and Jeeves aboard his ship, he assigns Jeeves to be a pleasure droid and makes the Princess serve drinks.

It’s not long before Evil Overlord figures out what has happened to the Princess, and captures her aboard The Floating Balls. Determined to marry the Princess (since her husband will gain control of a large portion of the galaxy), Overlord whisks her away to the wedding location. But Buzz and Jeeves have managed to survive Overlord’s attack on the casino, and the race is on to rescue the Princess before she is forced to marry Evil Overlord.

As for the sexual action, Wicked has packed ten sex scenes into this three-hour epic. The best scenes feature Evan Stone making out with (a totally blue!) Jessica Drake; Devinn Lane (who plays Overlord’s assistant, Dark Witch) getting it on with Evan, and a movie-ending coupling between Stormy and Evan. Other sex scenes include Randy Spears with Kaylani Lei, a threesome between Kyle Stone, Amber Rain and Casey Pink, and Stormy and Julian teaming up for a hot scene.

Not only is Space Nuts tremendously funny (I wouldn’t dream of spoiling the humor here, although I will pass along my favorite line: When Evan and Jeeves are captured by Overlord’s guards and Jeeves cowers on the floor and says “Game Over, Game Over!” – which is a nice nod towards James Cameron’s Aliens, although I may be one of the few viewers who picked up on the joke.), but the special effects are easily the best that have ever been done for an adult film. We’re not talking ILM here, but the effects are certainly on par with some lower budget movies and TV shows, and we get a lot of them in the movie.

As always, Wicked provides a plethora of extras on this 2-DVD set. First and foremost, the coolest feature on the DVD is a Picture-in-Picture commentary track with Jonathan Morgan, Randy Spears and Stormy. This is where a box pops up on your screen during the commentary, so you can actually see the people as they comment on the picture. To my knowledge, this has only been done once before on an adult release (with Nic Andrews’ Dark Angels), and it’s a welcome addition here. The Extras DVD includes a behind the scenes featurette, bloopers, a rehearsal reel, a casting call reel, a “cold readings” reel, bloopers, the Space Nuts trailer, a look at the making of Stormy’s Essential Elements sex toy (with Stormy, of course), slide shows, biographies, and much more. To say that this is the best jam-packed adult release of the year is almost an understatement.

Every once in a while, an adult movie comes along that takes porn to the next level. From Taboo to Dream Quest, every few years an adult movie arrives that dwarfs everything that has come before it, and the industry takes a giant leap ahead. Space Nuts is that kind of movie. Every comedy and special effects adult film made from this day forward will have this title to live up to.

I can pretty much sum up my excitement for Space Nuts in four words: Bring on the sequel!

At first glance, Jonathan Morgan’s “Space Nuts” (coming soon from Wicked Pictures http://www.wickedpictures.com/directors/wickedbucks?dcwid=109631/directors/wickedbucks?dcwid=109631) would seem to be a porn, sci-fi parody of Mel Brooks’ occasionally funny, mainstream, sci-fi parody of George Lucas’ really great, sci-fi classic, “Star Wars.” But as you watch this (by porn standards) mega-budget movie you soon realize it’s a sci-fi porn parody of just about every notable sci-fi movie made. And as sci-fi porn parodies go, “Space Nuts” has to be, without a doubt, the best made since “Flesh Gordon.” And that covers a whole lot of sci-fi porn parodies: “Flesh Gordon” was made a fucking long, long time ago, probably in a galaxy far, far away... like Hollywood or somewhere.

And be advised this ain’t so easy for me to write: I did NOT want to like, or be impressed, by this porn flick. Porn comedies I’ve directed have been nominated for AVN’s “Best Sex Comedy Award” against porn comedies Jonathon’s directed on two or three occasions. And each time, Jonathon’s flick has beaten mine. So that’s why I didn’t want to like “Space Nuts,” as small and self-absorbed as that sounds. And the truth is, I’m glad as hell I didn’t shoot anything this past year that even remotely might be up against this movie because I know I’d fucking lose. In fact, I’m betting anyone else’s porn comedy is gonna lose too!

First off, the computer-generated special effects in this flick are nearly state-of-the-art. I’m not talking porn’s version of state-of–the-art (which usually isn’t even state-of-the-art for a bad, 1950s, sci-fi “B” movie), I’m talking "state-of-the-art" state-of-the-art! Likewise for the prosthetic makeup, costuming, and most of the sets in “Space Nuts”. Mike Horner’s “Evil Overlord” makeup and wardrobe is a cross between Billy Crystal’s “Miracle Max”( from the “The Princess Bride”), and the Emperor from “Star Wars.” Randy Spears’ makeup and costumes for “Jeeves” (a cyber-butler) introduces a visually-comedic sci-fi character I’ve never seen before and it fucking works!

I’m pretty sure this flick was shot using Hi-Def cameras in 24P mode (that’s a video mode that electronically mimics a motion picture film camera’s 24 frames-per-second film speed), with a film-look “pull-down” added in post. The movie is lit like a real movie and shot like a real movie and, therefore, it looks like a real movie. Jake Jacobs’ and Francois Clouseau’s camerawork is first-rate, especially all the nice jib-shots. Morgan’s editing utilizes that kinda campy/kinda corny “Star Wars” style and that works too! A few more bucks could have been spent on the soundtrack. If it had been, this flick would have not only looked like a real movie, it would have sounded like a real movie and that’s something I don’t think I’ve ever seen/heard in a porn flick.

Morgan’s directing shows his experience. And it shows a cinematic maturity that few porn directors ever achieve. If he’s guilty of anything, he’s maybe guilty of loving his work too much and not cutting anything out--Which I guess is a nice way of saying “Space Nuts” is a bit on the long side. And the longer the movie takes to move forward, the more tedious some of its less funny bits become. But then, some of its bits are truly and uniquely, laugh-out-loud, funny! Spears’ “Jeeves” character is fucking hysterical. Horner’s “Evil Overlord” goes over the top sometimes, but all-in-all is funny and entertaining. Devinn Lane works hard to hold her own against Spears and Horner with her “Dark Witch” character, and for the most part, she does. The "2001: A Space Odyssey" lampoon of the famous scene with the HAL computer's red eye and distinctive voice almost made me piss my pants and Kyle Stone’s Borg-like General Wartz cracked me up!

I'll confess I watched this movie after enjoying a bowl of Mother Nature’s finest so everything seemed extraordinarily funny. That’s not to say this movie ain’t funny cuz I’m positive it is with or without Mother Nature's help! But it just might mean I laughed a few more times than you will if you watch it straight. I’m pretty sure you’ll laugh plenty whichever way you watch it… if that makes any sense.

I can’t remember how many sex scenes are in this flick, but there are a lot of them. And they’re good too! “Space Nuts” is not one of those porn features that doesn't forget it’s also a porno. Most of the scenes are certifiably “whackable” and the female cast is first-rate-- No dogs, heffers, or “one-baggers” in “Space Nuts.” Stormy--who does a competent job of playing the "straight" heroine-- gave me more than one chubby while I watched. Thankfully, Evan Stone's Hans Solo-like/Clint Eastwood-inspired hero, Buzz Starfokker, didn't give me a chub (how gay would that be?), and he played the "straight" hero with just the right amount of comedy thrown in, i.e., without going over the top.

If you want to finally see a porn feature that crosses-over and begins exploring porn's final frontier-- that is, it comes as close as it gets to being a mainstream movie with hard-core sex--take a look at “Space Nuts.”

Jonathan - My porn hat's off to you, man.

My special screening copy of "Space Nuts" just arrived. Directed, as I mentioned, by Mr. Morgan, the movie stars Stormy, Mike Horner, Evan Stone, Randy Spears, Kyle Stone, Devinn Lane, Kimberly Chambers and Scott Styles. The story uses just about every cheesy special-effects a porn movie can muster, and I’ll leave it at that except to say that in the past I always thought that Jonathan was always trying too hard to be funny and the results always came off as forced and as second-rate Jim Carey. Throwing every sci-fi cliché at the screen that he can imagine and then seeing what sticks, he comes up with a pretty goofy movie...but goofy in the best sense of the word. Like, it’s almost intelligent.

Needless to say, with the cast he’s assembled, the sex is stellar and watching these untrained actors attempt to deliver lines only adds to the humor. "Space Nuts" had me cracking up, and this was without booze, narcotics or illegal stimulants, so I know it was funny.

Good job, Jonathan. Now that I know you have it in you, I’m going to be expecting this kind of quality work from you from now on.
