Now available on DVD six years after its first release, this is writer/director Dino Phillips's follow-up to his successful debut feature, a Weird Science parody called Nude Science. (For forays into directing, smart '90s porn model Phillips adopted the pseudonym "Dane Preston.") Peters extracts lines ("Fuck me gently with a chainsaw," etc.) and situations from Heathers, and gives them a rude, sometimes spot-on gay spin. This is one of the rare porn productions with a body count; characters are poisoned, shot, blown up. But Phillips and his crackerjack 18-man cast have a field day with both black humor and sex, especially during an extended, lust-crazed wallow at an L.A. sex club. The Heathers in-jokes may now be lost on many viewers under 30, but Gage Michaels's exit as a suicide bomber resonates more deeply in 2006 than anyone could have foreseen when Peters was made.
