The biggest stars, best directors, and highest production values; that is a QUALITY X film. These deluxe Blu-ray editions of some of the genre's masterpieces, along with plenty of hidden gems, offer beautiful restorations and plentiful bonus features, all presented in homage to its namesake of esteemed New York film distributor, Mature Pictures, the company which almost single handedly raised the bar for outstanding sex films, and whose films will be included in this fittingly elegant collection.
Master filmmaker Chuck Vincent teamed up with acclaimed producer Robert Sumner to helm this duo of lavish, globe trotting hardcore comedies, which are presented together on Blu-ray from Quality X, both newly restored in 2K and loaded with informative extras!
Burt’s (Randy West) life couldn’t be more in the pits. His girlfriend (Kandi Barbour) can’t stand him and he’s just about broke. But when a computing error at his bank accidentally adds three zeros to his account balance, transforming his measly $300 in savings into $300,000, Burt seizes the opportunity to live his fantasies; transferring the money to a Swiss bank account and heading for Europe in search of all of the pleasures he’s been deprived of. However, he soon learns that the rich life isn’t as easy as he would have suspected.
A quick paced and witty comedy of errors, THAT LUCKY STIFF co-stars Samantha Fox, Candida Royalle, Kelly Nichols, and Merle Michaels.
Faith (Kelly Nichols) has had little success in her thespian pursuits. However, while attending a ritzy party she eavesdrops on a wager between two wealthy friends that offers a quarter of a million dollars to any woman capable of bedding the world’s ten greatest lovers in a mere 50 days. Volunteering herself for the challenge, Faith is soon whisked around the globe on a mission of seduction, but slowly learns that the allure of romance might have a stronger hold than money.
A frothy tribute to Hollywood’s jet-set comedy trend of a couple decades earlier, BON APPETIT offers sophisticated laughs, amongst beautiful locales.

Reviews
Thumbs Up, Chuck
"Two Chuck Vincent films that benefit greatly from location shooting in Europe, this double feature is worth the purchase. Sharing a cast ( Randy West, Kelly Nichols, Ron Jeremy. Samantha Fox, et al), Lucky Stiff has the better sex scenes while Bon Appetit has the better story though both are very light on plot — the journey across Europe allows for a variety of international hook-ups, though I suspect most of these sex scenes were shot in California. Kelly Nichols is definitely the highlight of both, with her dusky look and feathered hair. If you’re looking for light entertainment, here they are. The films look great if a little weathered at times, and the extras (interview/commentary with Kelly Nichols) give insights to the times in which the films were made while contextualizing her career."

A few chuckles
"Fairly light-hearted and not altogether unenjoyable, although you're unlikely to be laughing uncontrollably. Neither takes itself all that seriously and the storylines are threadbare. Sex scenes are okay, but nothing special. Bon Appetit was the worse of the two, but they're both full of technical shortcomings (comings. . . uhuhuhuh). Well done to Vinegar Syndrome and everyone else involved for restoring these movies though, as they are a window into the past."
— Sam N. (3/5)
Enjoyable and Worthwhile Double Feature
"A fun double feature with good energy and solid presentation throughout. The transfer quality is respectable, and the pairing makes for an entertaining watch. Not every element is perfect, but overall this is a very satisfying release."
— Thomas L. (4/5)
that Lucky Stiff/Bon Appetit

Fun Chuck Vincent Double Feature
"Nice double feature and definitely worth picking up if you like Chuck Vincent’s lighter adult comedies. That Lucky Stiff is fun, but for me Bon Appétit is the stronger one, with Kelly Nichols really carrying the film and giving it that extra charm. Both movies have the right elements: silly plots, nice locations, a playful 80s feeling and enough comedy to make them more than just the usual adult scenes. Vincent always had a good touch for this kind of material, and this set shows that pretty well. Overall, a very enjoyable double bill with a fun, sexy and breezy touch"
