    Storyline

    Edit
    Set in Ohau, Hawaii, Sandra is a wealthy heiress whom persuades insurance salesman, Peter, to sell her husband a $2 million life insurance policy, and then persuades Peter to kill him to get the money. The murder goes off without a hitch, but when a persistent investigator threatens to uncover the plot, Peter begins to suspect that Sandra may betray him and turns to her promiscuous teenage stepdaughter, Angie, to help turn the tables on her and Angie's boyfriend, Scott, whom is apparently in cahoots with Sandra. —Anonymous

      [first lines]

      [Peter gives a cap for a sunscreen bottle to Sandra]

      Peter Winston: Lose something?

      Sandra Bevin: [takes the bottle cap] Get lost.

      Peter Winston: Hey, take it easy on me.

      Sandra Bevin: Beat it!

      Peter Winston: I can take a hint. I just thought I'd like to sell you a little insurance.

      Sandra Bevin: [scoffs] Now I've heard everything. Get lost.

      Peter Winston: [as he walks away] Hey, just thought I'd give it a try. It never hurts to try.

      Sandra Bevin: Hey, wait a minute. Come back here. Have a seat.

      [Peter walks back and sits down beside Sandra]

      Sandra Bevin: You salesmen are all alike. Your timing's wrong. Slow down. Don't you know there's a speed limit on this island? 55 miles per hour.

      Peter Winston: And how fast would you say I was going?

      Sandra Bevin: 100 miles per hour!

      Peter Winston: Why don't you pull me over and give me a ticket?

    What are you doing, little girl!
    When you are grading a porno movie, you are of course, grading on a curve. You can't expect great acting or plot. To me the question is, does it hold your interest even when there is no sex going on. Eruption passed this test for me. I actually found John Holmes quite believable as an insurance salesman - he had a sort of swagger that you would need to sell ice to Eskimos. I also can believe that he'd kill someone for love and money though he didn't do a good job of acting like he was in love. Lust, perhaps. The scene where he is banging the leading lady on the beach is quite good - though with his long member it's like he's a foot away from her. For me my favorite scene has to be the one in the hot tub when Wynne Colburn gets pulled into the water in a quite direct way. I always loved his "What are you doing, little girl?" line.
