Last Fight, The (1992)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
D'Amato tries to tell the story of a boxer going for one more fight and fills the remainder of the story up with sex. This is D'Amato doing his hardcore venture again and there's some good stuff here. The performances aren't nearly as bad as one might expect and the cinematography is good as well. The story itself is fairly entertaining and D'Amato puts a lot of passion into the sex scenes.
Director Joe D'Amato will always be remembered for his horror films like BEYOND THE DARKNESS and ANTROPOPHAGUS as well as his long running Emanuelle series with Laura Gamser. After the Italian horror market dried up, D'Amato had a comeback with the softcore ELEVEN DAYS ELEVEN NIGHTS, which eventually led to the director doing porn titles. The director had previously mixed sex and horror in such titles as PORNO HOLOCAUST and EROTIC NIGHS OF THE LIVING DEAD but those films were a long way off from his later day porn.
