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.
At City Hospital, the traditional therapeutic ethos of the "laying on of hands" is in no danger of disappearing. The lovely young candy stripers Pam, Sharon, and Cindy labor to ensure every patient receives specialized and highly personal treatment, always delivered with the most detailed bedside manner. Their eager allegiance to the hippocratic oath doesn't stop with just the patients: the entire hospital staff benefits from their tender loving care. As much as these providers of extra-sensual healthcare enjoy their work, it's regularly at risk of being spoiled by the pesky and uptight Sarge, their staff coordinator. Since it's Sharon's last day on the job, the entire hospital staff has organized a big farewell bash, which promises to be a real ball -- that is, unless Sarge spoils the fun.
One of famed director Bob Chinn's (Hot & Saucy Pizza Girls) most popular and successful erotic films, CANDY STRIPERS is a scorching, non-stop bombardment of outrageous carnality and brisk comedy. Starring Amber Hunt (Cry For Cindy) in the most notorious performance of her career, along with Sharon Thorpe (SexWorld), Cris Cassidy (Sadie), Nancy Hoffman (Dracula Sucks), Paul Thomas (Autobiography of a Flea), Joey Silvera (Femmes DeSade), and Richard Pacheco (High School Memories) in his screen debut, it also boasts a rollicking score written and performed for the film. Quality X is eager to wheel out this oft-censored curative classic, entirely uncut and newly restored in 4K from its original 35mm camera negative, complete with extensive new interviews with Chinn and Pacheco.

Reviews
Raw Talent
"Great release. The acting was pretty good. The kung-Fu fight between Jerry Butler and Ron Jeremy was one of the highlights, the added sound effects made it unintentionally funny. Top transfer, some good extras. Booklet and poster nice addition."
— Lea L. (5/5)
Buy it! You won't regret it!
"This is a great adult movie. Jerry Butler and Lisa De Leeuw can really act! Lisa is kinda chubby here and it's great too see, her boobs like fabulous! Taija Rae is really hot too. Jerry has a couple of kung fu fight scenes that are surprisingly well choreographed, including one with a still in shape Ron Jeremy, the Hedgehog ain't bad at selling the fight scene either. There's a gross but kind of rad scene where Jerry bangs a butterball turkey. I usually hate the inclusion solo male scenes in straight porn, but it actually adds character development and works here. . . It's hard to explain, just roll with me. The video interview with Joyce Snyder is really funny and enjoyable too, as I'm sure the commentary track with her, which I haven't gotten around to listening to, is as well."
— Miles G. (5/5)
Something Different
"A decent film that has its moments, along with some wtf moments. Restoration looks good. Spot gloss slipcover looks good too."
— Noel H. (4/5)
Raw
"Classic movie and this release is packed, beautiful restoration of the film itself and a solid amount of interviews and supplementary material makes this a must buy."
— Ben C. (5/5)
A miss for me
"Not my cup of tea. The way he stuffed that bird and mixed that mayo ?? Borderline disturbing. Lisa deleuew was completely wasted here. There is a bizarre scene where she is plunged into a baday. The style of this movie is cool and the production is a top notch. The acting is also worth mentioning but there just aren’t any sensual sex scenes in this. It actually plays more like a grind house parody with an occasional bang bang"
— Matthew K. (2/5)
Great to finally have a blu-ray of Raw Talent!
"Really enjoyed this set. The film looks great, and it's awesome to finally own a copy. Really enjoyed Jerry Butler as well as the plethora of bonus features. More Jerry Butler, please!"
— Nathan M. (5/5)
Greatest of All Time?
"Do I mean the film or Jerry Butler? Yes. This is a near-perfect release of what might be the best adult film I've ever seen. Great in every way it could be and a release so stacked the case almost doesn't close!"
— Justin O. (5/5)
No talent required.
"Raw talent. Well, I'm sad to tell you; Jerry Butler is all but talent. The release however is packed with a poster and a think booklet. Like the glossy cover too."
— Stefan N. (3/5)
Jerry Butler Kicks Ass!
"Literally. And also, makes a mean turkey sandwich. I’d put this one in the top tier of adult films. Great performances throughout and stylish filmmaking. Excellent interviews and commentary."
— Matthew M. (5/5)
Drama, sex…and martial arts
"Packing movie, with a real story and good performances. And a mean streak which doesn't let go. Great cast and fascinating look at the X-rated New York of the 80s. The special features are interesting enough, and the 4K restoration is pretty good. Recommended."
— DARIO T. (4/5)
