Back in the days when there were video rental stores I decided to rent 'Sorority House Massacre 2' since I watched the first one. I realised it was not a true sequel. Plus, it was a total expolited comedy-horror. Yet I discovered that it starred Melissa as the role of Jessica in which she drew my attention big time with her height as 6 feet tall. Wow! She was the tallest out of the female cast.
Yes there was alot of concentrated moments on the girls taking a shower as well as non serious horror moments but I found there was something about her performance that shined on. Especially when we all find out quarter way through that she was the possessed killer of Hockstatter, the man that lived in the house she resided with her sorority sisters and murdered his family.
This was one of those so bad it's good flicks. Anyone who saw this one would remember her performance quite well.
Next was a sequel 'Hard to Die' in which Melissa and some of the original cast returns to this one but playing different roles. I found that to be a little strange but oh well.
This time these girls work in a building at night to take inventory at a lingerie company.
Of course Hockstatter is up to his evil deeds once more but this time Melissa isn't the possessed one in which she is the first one to be killed in the flick.
Both these flicks were distributed by Concorde New Horizons in which she appeared in others distributed by this company.
Yet she did appear in other exploited trashy horror flicks and was once a scream queen like in 'The Invisible Maniac' as the leading actress. She almost was a heroic character Bunny whom is a student at a summer school program. She is on the run from a maniac teacher that knows hoe to make himself invisible as well as killing his students one by one. Many of her fans will remember her in this even if it is quite bad.
All of these films were in 1990 which was a busy year for her indeed with a few to choose from then. She kept chugging along for a bit and struck gold with a couple of other horrors.
In 1995 she starred in the lustful 'Stormswept' as the leading actress. This was hard to tell if it was a horror flick as it was about a bunch of Hollywood actors are stuck in a mansion in Louisianna which is possessed by a spirit of a demented slave master with a lustful attitude during a terrible thunderstorm. No blood or killings but still enough to pass as one while watching the story.
Her last horror flick to date was in 2022 'Puppet Master: Doktor Death' from Full Moon Pictures. Yes this was from the series of Charles Band's flicks. A little puppet Doktor Death wrecking havoc in a retirement home. Some fans may be disappointed that it didn't feature Toulon's other puppets but still a feather in Melissa's cap regardless.
She was seen in other films than horror like 'Repossessed', 'Caged Fury', 'Vice Academy Part 2', 'The Killing Zone', 'Angelfist', 'One Man Army', 'Samurai Cop', 'Compelling Evidence' and 'A Country Music Christmas'
Due to her work in the b-film industry she appeared on 'Shock Cinema Vol. 2', 'Scream Queens Swimsuit Sensations', 'Invasion of the Scream Queens', 'Up All Night', 'Joe Bob's Drive-In Theatre' and 'Some Nudity Required'
She certainly has become a cult icon with all of this happening. Definitely moving up in the cult film industry.
Melissa is also known as a world champion american saddlebred horse trainer in which she is busy doing this nowadays in Kentucky.

Scream Dream 1989.
The first film she had a lead role in. Boy is it terrible done by Donald Farmer. As you know he makes terrible films on a camcorder made on nothing. Then it gets released onto video in selected video rentals during it's prime.
She was the only good actress out of the whole cast as she plays a rocker after a former rocker gets the boot so she possesses her body to seek revenge.
Melissa was slick with her words as well as having an attitude which was convincing when she came across to behaving this way.
She also changes into a demonic being during certain scene's which she was convinving while springing into action.
Also has a few nude scene's which includes a lustful one as this was too amateurish to watch.
To any of her fans if they haven't seen this one then you're not missing out. This one isn't even worth checking out as the acting looks like it was performed from people working in a porn industry. A good thing she moved on to performing in bigger budgeted trashy flicks.
Caged Fury 1990. An exploited prison action flick on an innocent young woman Kathie Collins (Roxanna Michaels) moves away from Utah to live in Los Angeles as well as to start a career there.
Along the way she picks up a troubled drifter going to the same place in which they audition for an erotic film with an arrogant director. They find out they're set up and arrested in which things start to look intense. A lesbian warden forces her to call and lie to her father Mr. Collins (Michael Parks) that she moved to Mexico so she can serve less time. This really showed some true tension as well as everyone stripping down while they do a search before going to their cell.
Melissa appears with a bunch of the cell mates when some of them discuss towards Kathie as to what goes on there. They act unpleasant which made me wonder if a catfight will happen.
In the meantime alot of creepy officers and other people work there rape as well as hurt the prisoners. Plus the warden Sybil Thorn (Ty Randolph) is abusive and a nasty lesbian herself. Plus she has her own hot tub where some of the prisoners are forced to join her.
Kathie's sister Tracy (Elena Sahagun) is arrested for the same incident by being set up in which Melissa makes her second appearance in the same area of the hallway from their jail cells. A prison guard approaches her acting evil towards her in which she utters a sob. However he tell her she is free to go in which he storms out with her. The other prisoners cry and complain and she gets nasty which stood out well for her appearance making it a memorable scene.
The suspense and unsolved mystery piles up when these two siblings realise that it's a fake cell and tries to find a way on escaping with some help from bounty hunters Victor (Erik Estrada) and Dirk Ramsay (Richard Barathy). There's great action fighting sequences.
Kathie discovers in a room reveals dead bodies including Melissa's character with a slit throat and so fourth.
I love prison flicks but would pass on this one since it's not the greatest but not terrible either. Offers lots of skin and is considered a trashy cult flick too.
Fatal Skies 1990. In this one she was only seen briefly in a couple scene's. Even though this was a corny action flick I somewhat enjoyed it. It was campy fun.
It focuses on a couple of skydiving teenagers Duane (J. Michael Esposito) and Toni (Veronica Carothers) landing on a property owned by a businessman Buddy (Timothy Leary) after parachuting and witnessing them dumping toxic waste into the water supply of a small town run by rednecks.
In the story many struggling moments with these teens as well as their good hearted Uncle Colonel Jack (Tim Burke) in which they are terrorised by Buddy and his dimwitted goons. This was fun to watch as it's so cheesy and not meant to be taken seriously as to what they do while going into battle.
Melissa is seen in a scene with these teens hanging out and drinking near the area where the airplane is parked and listening to a preacher on a radio station. It shows her laughing.
Another take is with her doing target practice with them shooting breakable stuff near outside of their property. That's about it folks.
Other scene's involve an evil Officer Wilson (Jay Richardson) being cruel to these innocent people as well as having dipstick deputies acting so dumb founded on everything. Made me think this small town is a nasty place to live in.
Also another moment when Jack is tied up as well as mamed and tortured by Buddy and his goons which was a nice touch to everything.
Quarter way looked action packed with them going into battle to put an end to this businessman's evil and greedy deeds. Lots of gun shots and some explosions occur during this situation including a real suspenseful scene on Buddy beating the crap out of Duane and nearly falling into toxic waste. Kept me watching wondering if he was nearly doomed.
The film is almost a cheesy low budget version on a cross between 'Walking Tall' and 'The New Kids.' Many fun touches in this story.
Reposessed
1990 Melissa has a cameo in this 'Exorcist' spoof which starred no other than Linda Blair as she wanted to do something like this to get over her stress from that flick and wanted to do a spoof.
During the films start shows a house at night raking place in 1973 and a priest Father Jedediah Mayii (Leslie Nielsen) about to exorcise a child that we don't see yet. It starts off looking like a horror flick but it teases you at the end of this scene by offering off the wall comedy. Seemed to work in well I must say.
The opening credits occur and then a Jedediah is teaching his class about the going on's of what happened as well as narrating the story afterwards. But during the beginning of his class is when Melissa plays a bimbo student dressed lustfully. A well focused moment on her legs and how tight her dress is. He asks her to pull her dress down. She pulls down her top and exposes her breasts. This part was an effective role of hers.
Alot of non stop goofy comedy rolls into the story in which Blair offers nice comedic timing in what she does here as portraying a family woman Nancy Velsmo Aglet.
During many memorable scene's in this flick she turns her head backwards to her kids and snarls at them for misbehaving as well as spitting green goo on her husband. A well remembered freaky scene in that horror flick. Now it's done for fun and laughs.
She tries to go to get help saying she's reposessed with Jedediah coming to the rescue showing other moments from what we saw in that flick and spoofing it. Some of it was was stupid and some quite funny to watch.
Now this posessed character is tied to a bed and goes into a studio on a live TV program hosted by a religious couple Ernest (Ned Beatty) and his wife Fanny Ray (Lana Schwab) which was hilarious seeing how an exorcism is going to be performed. (Beforehand Fanny Ray's dog is getting on his nerves while in their car and he sees people shredding wood so he throws the ball out the window and the dog chases getting caught in this machine. This was the funniest moment ever. Don't worry nothing gruesome or graphic happens if you're a dog lover.)
Some of the preachers even get down to do some rock n roll since our posessed Nancy stresses she hates rock muci. This is too much while watching this flick.
Near the end the class xlaps their hands after
Jedediah finishes his story in which we briefly see Melissa in the class. But that's it for her performance folks. As mentioned before she had a memorable scene.
Not a bad flick but not award winning material either as it was given a limited theatrical release, but in mainstream cinema's, before going to video.
The Invisible Maniac 1990. This time she's the leading actress and somwhat the heroine... well... not quite but close. She plays the role of Bunny.
A trashy and corny comedy horror with lots of gratitious nudity involved on a mad scientist Kevin Dornwinkle (Noel Peters) that escappes from a mental hospital after killing people that mocked him when he tried to invent a serum that would make him invisible but it backfires.
He disguises himself as a teacher for a summer school in which the students find him weird and mock him. Melissa's character is one of them.
She also is a cheerleader and rehearses with her friends in which she shines off well by doing this.
Also she makes out with her boyfriend Chet (Robert R. Ross Jr.) as they plan to have sex later on in the story.
She takes showers in the change room with her friends while this maniac Kevin peeks in the vent.
Eventually his serum works and has sleazy and deadly plans for his students in which he kills them off one by one and isn't seen since he's invisible. This includes stuffing a sandwich in someone's mouth with this victims throat bulging which reminds me on something you's see in 'Toxic Avenger'. He also rips open the girls shirts exposing their breasts before killing them.
Plus he uses Freddy Krueger type jokes while doing this but in a bad fashion.
Bunny and Chet fornicate in the principal's office. Yes her character fully shows her breasts as well as later on lying down on the desk in the office after they finish and having a calm conversation.
She does well by acting anxious when her and Chet try to battle this invisible freak. Lots of action paced moments while doing this since this was well put into the story for a slasher flick even if it sucked. Sadly she meets her fate.
At first this dud seemed like just a zany dark comedy but then the horror comes into it halfway later. It's neither funny or scary with the killings looking lame except for the near end of the story which gorehounds may take a nod during this moment.
Her fans may enjoy her work in this one and got a very limiited theatrical release before going to video in rental stores in it's day.
Sorority House Massacre II: Nighty Nightmare
1990. She has one of the leads in this one as a sorority girl named Jessica. Of course this was the flick that grabbed my attention on her performance which I thought made her a cult icon.
During the beginning of her performance she helps her sorority sisters move into the torn down home that once belonged to a maniac who killed his whole family known as Hockstatter in which his soul possesses the home. While moving in she gives her boyfriend a long kiss goodbye after he helps them.
In other areas she seems to do an okay job by acting sarcastic about stuff and so fourth in which she had a strong presence while strutting her stuff in this one.
Of course they experience the eccentric neighbor Orville Ketchum (Peter Spellos) in which he tells everyone about Hockstatter as towhat he did here. When this happens in the flashbacks shows footage of 'Slumber Party Massacre.' Don't be fooled by this folks as this isn't a sequel nor is it to the original flick either.
Afterwards they all take off their tops to put on their nighties with tight panties. Yes folks lots of hooters here. Plus there's even a long concentrated moment when one of them named Kimberly (Stacia Zhivago) takes a shower. Moore makes a memorable appearance when she creeps up her as this was supposed to have a cringing feeling for us to think it's Hockstatter approaching but like the whole story it was too cheesy and slapstick to being truly suspenseful. Jessica gets sarcastic towards her about the killer and shows off a flash with her breasts as well as needing to take a shower next. This was an excuse to offer more skin of course. She really comes off well while discussing this and anyone who watched this will remember the scene.
After an incident using an ouija to summon Hockstatter then all hell breaks loose with a mysterious killer and some of the survivors sit in a same position as those teenage girls did in 'SPM' which includes Moore's character herself.
Quarter way through things become trashily exciting for this actress in which she is possessed by this maniac in which she shows a ghostly presence with a deep voice ready to kill and so fourth while all along the girls thought it was the strange neighbor Ketchum doing all of this.
The film is Zgrade, pointless, hokey, bad acting and obvious moments occuring but it's one of those so bad it's good made for video rental. Watch it for the fun and laughs. People that are fans of hers may love her role in this one as she shines off nicely within her presence.
Vice Academy Part 2 1990.Another one so bad it's good flick which was popular on the USA Up All Night TV circuit. It starred a couple of cult icons such as Linnea Quigley, former porn queen Ginger Lynn Allen and Jay Richardson.
Melissa's performance starts during the beginning after Ginger discusses to her fans about requesting her to do nudity in this one since she hasn't in the original.
Melissa plays a prostitute and has her scene with Ginger and gets busted as Ginger is an undercover cop. That's all folks. Yet she does well with her arrogant attitude and earned her name in the opening credits so you can't beat that.
The Vice Academy flicks are a ripoff to the 'Police Academy' one's but these one's offer more skin and adult situations. Quite frankly these one's are more fun to watch.
In this sequel at the academy they two rookie cops pose as strippers to get the drop on a villainess plotting to spike L.A.'s water with aphrodisiacs.
Along the way there's a cocky male schauvinist cop whom is totally dimwitted as well as a female robotic cop named no other than Bimbo Cop the academy creates. These situations looked enertaining in a trashy sort of way.
Vampire Cop 1990. Another Donald Farmer flick and in my books his best one yet which is saying very little of course. Has a bit of a better camera to film the scene's compared to his cheap 80s camcorders he used in his earier films. Yet still a bad one that he used.
She's the leading one as a journalist Melanie Roberts as she helps a cop who's also a vampire Lucas (Ed Cannon) to put a stop to a crime boss Hal Greicher (William Lucas) as they become romantically linked towards one another.
The acting is really bad including Melissa in which she's quite wooden with how she performed in it.
In the film she is in the beginning having nightmares tossing and turning while other scene's start to occur in which I wondered if she will ever wake up. It took that long on her sleeping.
When she did her journalism on the news seemed to get into her role quite well I must admit. However, the rest of her performed dragged.
Her role as Melanie has many discussions with Lucas eventually getting into a romance in which they have a sex scene which took a long time in the story.
Near the end she is pitted against Hal. Then Lucas reveals his fans and bites into him. When she tries to take him outside she realises that dawn is breaking so she has to keep him in her home. Slow motion effects takes place here as this looked mildly interesting to watch.
This is when the action heats up as Hal is now a vampire himself as she struggles against him which took too long.
Hal runs outside and on she goes out to see he is burned to death. This was one of the only special effects revealed in this story since as usual Farmer's films are on a zero budget.
During the end of the story she is on the news broadcast and mysteriously reveals she's a vampiress herself in which she attacks the fellow she is doing news with.
Once again this action-horror-superhero film is quite bad as the writing in this is alot better than the performance and budget. Offers tons of gratutious nudity on women playing prostitutes. In fact this looks like a badly budgeted porn flick.
Hard to Die 1990. A loose sequel to 'SHM 2'. However, Melissa plays a different character as well as many of the same actresses the same too which was a little confusing.
This time the story takes place in building in which her role as Tess and coworkers take uinventory in.
She appears in the very beginning with Robyn Harris who plays the role of Dawn Grant. They worked opposite of one another in 'SHM 2'.
When they arrive in the building they are greeted from the elevator by the one and only Orville Ketchum (Peter Spellos) as they freak out which was a nice impression.
Of course he discussed as to what happened the last time at that sorority house along with going into a flashback on how it all started with Hockstatter killing his family. Yep you guessed it! Shows footage once again from 'SPM'.
The sprinklers go off after Dawn tosses her cigarette towards some papers lying on the ground. Of course it is a drawing card to see their shirts wet.
When they enter to the top of the building they spot a box full of lingerae's since we all know what they plan to wear later on in the evening. They also spot a box that unleashed some sort of a force. THe cheesy special effects looked fun to watch.
Of course Dawn lusfully says that what she wants to take right now is a nice hot shower and takes off her top. That's just what she does. Lots of focus on her rubbing herself.
The rest take turns rubbing themselves as the skin like in the original is the real drawing card to the story.
However after Dawn puts on a lingerae and looks around the mysterious killer with the dagger manages to get her. Yes folks, Melissa is the first victim in this flick than the lead role in the original. A shame for her fans.
Along the way Orville appears around the area while the slayings occur as of course these bimbos think that he is doing all this. Yes he gets blown away, stabbed and even falls off from the top of that big building. Yet he survives all this. Corny indeed!!!
Melissa does an average job with her cocky attitude playing a different role in this one. She needed a bit of improbement within her characteristics but isn't terrible. Most of the acting is pretty bad regardless.
The Killing Zone 1991. A made for video action film which tried to have all suspenseful crime fightings like in those top action flicks.
Some nice situations on a chain gang with some body builders picking on a smaller one. Then a good hearted one whom is the lead character Garret Bodine (Deron McBee) defending this person and a fight breaks out.
There's other moments like this as well as really corny moments on what some cell mates are doing to annoy the other one.
Melissa as the role of comes into the picture when she is bartending at a pub in which she tells some detectives information on a missing clue involving a mexican gang.
Alot of gun fighting with people getting killed or vehicle explosions along with martial arts fighting which didn't look totally convincing. Seemed to fill in the time instead of watching a strong plot. Pretty violent stuff indeed.
Garret returns to her family members which looked heartwarming and uplifting as this was well done.
Melissa appears again shortly after this incident taking a long shower which mostly focuses on her upfront nudity. Then Garret joins her in which we discover that she's his sweetheart.
Then she is with him at their pub in which he does a wrist wrestling match with his Uncle Sam. This looked like alot of fun.
Then she is absent for alot of the other situations as the killings start to happen later on as this gang murders a couple of Garret's friends of the family and so fourth.
She appears later on as some of these thugs kidnap her as well as tie her up and gag her along with Sam. Garret is told to meet them at their hideout. He has to do a game of survival from other gang members in order to keep them safe.
Then more fun starts as Garret gets some back up to blow away his enemies and so fourth. Of course he wins this battle.
She appears again with all of them living happily ever after. This was a good scene too.
So I will say that she had a good supporting role in this one. She does a fairly good job too even if the movie was a bit hokey and cheesy at times. Her fans may enjoy her work in this one.
Samurai Cop 1991. This was a fun one to watch in which this flick paid a tribute to those cheesy kung fu fighting films. They also tried to make the screen look like a grindhouse flick. A so bad it's good type of story.
The beginning shows a bunch of criminals known as the Katana, a renegade Yakuza gang composed of violent and sadistic killers who want to lead the drug trade in Los Angeles.
One of their leaders is a hulking dude Yamashita (Robert Z'Dar) commanding his people for their criminal duties which looked cheesily entertaining.
Then there's kung fu fighting with the police lead by Joe Marshall (Mathew Karedas) against these thugs. Doesn't look convincing enough though.
Melissa has a good supporting role as a policewoman Peggy Lee Thomas in which she is seen after some of these incidents in which she's patrolling a helicopter tracking down some criminals and so fourth.
After their mission is done, Peggy talks to him on on her device in her helicopter to be at her place which offered nice timing for an exploited flick.
They have a nice romp wearing nothing but their panties on in which this is a long lustful moment focusing on her frontal nudity.
In other scene's she is seen at the police station with her outgoing attitude which she seems to come off naturally.
More martial arts battles involving Joe in which one of the villains gets their arm chopped off by a sword. Pretty gruesome here. I should stress you that this isn't a horror flick but a pure crime-action-thriller.
Peggy appears again with the other police force to track down more criminals at their home in which she shows off her charm to a hunky one inviting him over after their mission is done. This offered nice timing too.
Yamashita and his goons track down Peggy later on while she is making breakfast. They break into her home as she uses her martial arts on them. This was mildly action packed but she is out numbered. This hulking prick forces her to talk slowly torturing her by pouring her hot food from a frying pan. Then this is the last we see of her till the sequel in which I wondered what happened to her.
The final moments were the best to come in which Joe Yamashita do a sword battling towards one another. I really got entertained while watching the outcomes of this.
I would have to admit that this was Melissa's best performance to date in which she is charming but tough when needed to be. She was almost like a female Shaft. Her fans will love her work in this one. In fact this was one of her most memorable film gigs.
Into the Sun 1992.This one was pretty entertaining as it's a comedy-action flick. Yet it is not funny like it tries to be. The story involves an actor Tom Slade (Anthony Michael Hall) who wants to research a role as a fighter pilot in which he is linked to an air fighter Capt. Paul Watkins (Michael Pare) to show him on learning the ropes.
Tom is overly annoying dorky and full of himself as he first goes into a training room in which he flirts with a female sergeant as this is played by Melissa in which she shows some good wit by acting charming towards him. Plus when they are training she winks at him and interact. She wears glasses like she is a scientist.
This is a small but really effective role in which she really grabbed attention in this flick.
The action and suspense really drew in when they are actually flying in the air as they are shot down. They end up landing in a desert which is in the enemies land.
The slapstick unfunny comedy is used in this story too with dorky Tom not taking anything seriously.
They're taken hostage by the enemies as the seriousness happens again but are rescued by others who wants to take them hostage as well adding slapstick moments again.
The story couldn't make up it's mind as to whether or not this is more an action or unfunny comedy. It combines equally.
An entertaining story in which Melissa got to work with name actors as well as this one earning a limited theatrical release. Kind of like a spoof on 'Top Gun' or 'Iron Eagle'.
Mad at the Moon 1992. A dull plotted western-romance-barely horror flick on a woman Jenny Hill (Mary Stuart Masterson) engaged to a man Miller Brown (Hart Bochner) she doesn't want to marry in which she is in love with a mysterious man James Miller (Stephen Blake).
After they wed they go off to a faraway land in which Miller warns her about his changing attitude when there's a full moon. When this happens not to let him inside for her safety. Trust me folks, no werewolf effects here as I wondered if I should have classified it a horror.
In the story James is in a bar in which he fornicates with a whore in which is played by Melissa as her nude body appears but can't see her face too much. That's about it. In other words a bit part. You're not missing much here folks. This will be a disappointment to her fans here.
James pays a visit to Jenny as they have a bit of a romance. Then a full moon happens afterwards with some mild suspense to this scene with Miller calling out offering an echoey sound. This was a fair cheesy horror touch so far. Then he acts crazy running around.
Suddenly a mild struggling scene between both James and Miller starts to occur. No werewolf effects or anything and not really anything terrorising. This was a disappointment big time.
The Other Woman 1992. Another erotic thriller which looks like one of those late night made for video flicks. It involves a reporter Jessica Mathews (Lee Anne Beaman) investigating a murder case while her husband is away and spots some photos of a lustful woman Traci Collins (Juliet Reagh) that came in the mail for him as she suspects that he is having an affair with her.
She is devastated and takes a shower which is a long one since I had a feeling the skin is more of a drawing card than the story. I was right on that.
Traci is at home and getting it on with her abusive boyfriend as he pours milk on her breasts and so fourth. This is absolutely rididculous. Yet later in the story he gets aggressively physical with her which looked a bit intense.
Melissa appears as a model photographer in which she photographs Traci with another woman nude at a beach while Jessica is spying on them.
Afterwards, Jessica gets aquainted with Traci and discusses things with her only to set her up thinking that she was cheating on her husband.
Later on they make up and then watches a modelling session as Melissa appears again taking pictures in which she gets aroused and unbuttons her top while still doing snapshots. So her fans that like seeing her nude won't be too disappointed. Yet this is her last scene in the story so her role was quite small.
Later on in the story Jessica saves Traci after her boyfriend nearly gets violent with her. Before you know it, the two have a lesbian love scene.
Alot of this seems like an erotic drama than a thriller but it kicks in later on.
We may think that Traci is trying to run Jessica's career afterwards but there's a different twist in which some thugs try to murder them and so fourth.
Yet this film is pretty much sleazoid trash but a relaxing one if you're in the mood to watch before going to bed and feeling aroused.
Consenting Adults 1992. She has a part in a mainstream flick but it's a bit part. A nicely done story which is a murder mystery thriller on a composer Richard Parker (Kevin Kline) and his blues singer wife Priscilla (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) meeting some new neighbors Eddy (Kevin Spacey) and Kay (Rebecca Miller) in which they seem to become fast friends.
The story looks uplifting at first while watching all their events but then Eddy talks to Richard about him liking his wife. This for sure left a good impression that something suspenseful will happen later on.
Then one night Richard sneaks into their home and decides to sleep with someone which happens to be Melissa's character in which she is nude during a lustful moment. Yet her face isn't exposed too much either.
She appears again murdered from a baseball bat and that's the end of her appearance. This leads to him being framed for murder and so fourth.
Priscilla ends her marriage with him and falls in love with Eddy in which alot of twisted moments certainly happen here. No one is to be trusted as well as surprises into what happens later on near the end of the flick which looked cleverly done. This film was fun to watch and to sit back watching a whodunnit type of story.
Soulmates 1992. At first this one was a bit hard to understand as a horror. It was hokey and not scary but yes the horror kicks in with some of the stupid comedy that's used here.
The story centers around an immortal novelist Richard Wayborn (Tristan Rogers) in which he kills women to temporarily bring his lusftful dead wife to life by using their dead bodies in which he has to keep killing in order for her to survive.
Melissa has a small but effective role in this one as a fan of his in which he offers her a ride but poisons her. She is stiff by reacting to suffering. However when she is awakened does well with her lustful speaking.
When she arrives home with him she fornicates with him and yes she gets nude in this one.
The next day, her body is getting pale as she needs a new body to recover. That's about it. Not a bit part to say the least. She was one of the first one's to be revealed as to how his dead wife survives so it was an important part.
Richard tries to find other women in which one of them is a college student Sara Foster (Arabella Holzbog) whom manages to escape and tries to get help in order to stop his evil deeds.
She is terrorised by him especially in her dreams. Her ex-boyfriend
Scott (Tyrone Power Jr.) is a detective and tries to go to her aid.
This one was a made-for-TV budget which had a brief limited theatrical release originally titled 'Evil Lives'. Not that great of a film I must tell you but not terrible either. Offers lots of skin and corny moments.
Da Vinci's War 1993. Not too bad of an action flick which is dedicated to the Vietman War Veterans that have lived on the streets. The story focuses on a traumatized war vet Frank DeVinci (Joey Travolta) as he experienced his sister being murdered in the beginning of the film and tries to track this killer down.
After this incident Melissa makes her appearance in which she unrobes herself fully naked after a some sort of a bounty hunter China Smith (Michael Norri) does a workout. They get it on with one another.
In other parts of this flick Frank tries to hire this person to find out who killed his sister in which he forces him to do so while the street people who helped him serve the war are taking hos personals away from him.
Alot of gunfighting and other types of murders take place during alot of the struggling moments.
Then much later Melissa appears again in which she has a nice charming attitude on the phone talking to China to find information on someone. Later on she reveals information on who the killer is. Suddenly someone crashes into her office and kills her. A very tragic moment when China and Frank disciver her dead which is a touching situation.
When China discovers that Frank and his family is in danger and must leaves the country he refuses in which he struggles to fight these people to the death along with his former veterans.
All of this looked well done as well as having a new mysterious twist on who the real person is in charge of the killings.
Nice ending to the story with everyone together singing "Amazing Grace" which was first sung by the late Vanity who had the leading female role in this one.
Angelfist 1993. I was interested in 'SHM 2' and saw that she was in this one. So I decided to rent it when video stores were the thing back then.
She travels to the Phillipines in this one in which this was an action-thriller about kickboxing tournaments along with a Los Angeles police officer Kat (Catya Sassoon) entering the tournament there in Manila to find those responsible as to who killer her sister while dodging the Death Brigades.
A ton of nudity in this flick including this cop topless in her hotel room battling thugs with her martial arts and so fourth. Nothing terribly convincing with her fights and struggles though. Not overly terrible either.
Melissa is a part of the kickboxing tournament in which a couple of her scene's is sitting and waiting when a tournament fight occurs. She is also full nude a couple times taking a shower afterwards.
She struts her stuff nicely when performing her work on the tournament getting into it pretty well.
She ends up being kidnapped and tied up by these Brigades. They try to force information out of her as well as what looks like they are about to rape her doggystyle tied up. Suddenly the next scene happens before they try to do so.
When the scene's are back involving her she charms a dinwitted thug to untie her offering her lust and so fourth. She seems a little wooden while acting like this though. Of course this thug unbuttons her top with her breasts exposed. Right when he unties her she goes into battling action. This looked cool to watch as well as fighting the other bad guys. Made me wonder if she will manage to escape or not. Lots of action fun here.
She arrives at the tournament and announces a state of emergency in which her and Kat go into battle firghting off the thugs there while everyone flees from the place. Tons of violent action during these moments.
Yes, Melissa really rolls in with the punches within her battling but her performance was a little too average to wooden. Not overly terrible. Her fans may enjoy her work in this one. It said she starred in this one but she had the main supporting role in reality. Still a good credit.
Some bloody stabbings and shootings in the flick which is one of the reasons that this was also rated R apart from the nudity and adult situations. Not a very good flick but had some fun touches the odd times.
One Man Army 1994. A fairly decent told story on a kickboxing champ Jerry Pelt (Jerry Trimble) caught up in the politics of a crooked little town. Also is trying to find out about his grandfathers murder too. He becomes a sheriff of his country in which a former sheriff he kicked out wants revenge and gets vicious while doing so.
Jerry hires his friend Pat Boze (Rick Dean)
to being his deputy but he has a dark secret of his own.
He gets into fights with some rednecks in which offers good fighting sequences.
Melissa plays the leading actress as his girlfriend Natalie Pierce whom is a reporter. I found this to be her best performance. She has a sharp attitude as well as a great outgoing behavior.
Does well telling off someone on treating people like slaves and getting tough about it all.
Of course she offers some skin in this one such as taking a shower showing a good focus on this. Also getting into a lustful roomance with him.
Another nice part of the story is that they go swimming in a lake. One of the rednecks shoots her arm as this looked almost tragic. I wondered if she was killed off in the story but survives this.
Melissa breezes through other scene's including a scene when she tries to help an abused girlfriend of Pat's and so fourth.
Pat betrays Jerry in which he is doing cocaine and becoming a killer. He also thinks that he killed him.
Pat makes out he is the main lawman and frees all the prisoners in which Jerry and his dog goes into action to stop these criminals.
Pat has a hold of Melissa's character and handcuffs her to an object while the two of them fight to the death as this looked well done.
Of course Jerry wins and the two of them live happily ever after.
This made for video flick seemed to rip off many elements to 'Walking Tall' but it's not a bad one. I kind of enjoyed a bit of the story and the action in this one. Melissa deserves a gold star for her performance.
Stormswept 1995. Another leading role in this one as she plays the part of a real estate agent Dottie. She appears after the opening credits in which she goes to the mansion that is possessed by a spirit of an insane slave master. When she checks the place around starts to hallucinate seeing some horrible tortures and deaths.
After doing business with some filmmakers that are working at that mansion her car gets stuck in a ditch during a terrible thunderstorm and has to stay at the place in which she is encountered by a strange lesbian Brianna (Julia Hughes) in which she pulls off her towel and reveals her breasts. Yes folks Melissa shows nudity in this one too.
Her character Dottie starts to get aroused alot being possessed by this sex crazed spirit. She also fornicates with a charming fellow Damon (Justin Carroll) and then gets upset afterwards.
In many scene's others get lustful offering lots of skin. Including Brianna getting hypnotised and crying in fear of what this spirit is doing to her. She pulls her blouse open while in this trance and so fourth.
Dottie discusses that a spirit here is doing things to them and she gets emotionally upset crying while explaining his situations. I thought Melissa did a great job while behaving this way.
Quarter way she takes off with a couple others but tells the driver to let her off in which she helps the people there by escaping the madness.
While the lusting keeps happening the real terror occurs as two people whom are involved with witchcraft are hiding in the attic and one of them starts to act deadly ready to kill some of the people residing at the mansion.
Melissa shows some tough action in her role by kneeing this gay in the crotch and being heroic.
This is an erotic horror flick that looked like it wasn an early 80s low budget grindhouse flick. Offers tons of skin although not a soft core porn dud it was done in fair style.
I founs this one to be her best performance ever. She really got into this role. Even if this one had a weak plot due to alot of lusting she should be proud on her work in this one.
Compelling Evidence 1995. Donald Farmer's biggest budget to date with a better camera. Still a bad movie nevertheless which will never change for him. Melissa had the main supporting role in this one by the name of a mistress Stephanie Roberts in this erotic thriller.
The story talks about a movie star Rick . Then Michelle Stone (Danny Fendley) who threatens to retire from acting while their producers try to blackmail him.
He has a steamy affair with Stephanie as he goes to her home and the lust towards one another. Meanwhile a tabloid bitch Dana Fields (Dana Plato "Yes from Diffrent Strokes") spies on them with her camera man videotaping all of this.
Suddenly their affair is broadcast live on national TV in which his wicked wife Michelle Stone (Brigitte Nielsen) finds out about it. She threatens to take all he has.
Rick goes to the studio and strangles Dana in which this looked so phony to watch as well as other people's reactions. I mean c'mon make this moment convincing.
He's thrown in jail and Stephanie bails him out. While they try to escape from the reporters including Dana herself. Stephanie tries to help him out after Michelle threatens him.
A mysterious murderer shoots Michelle in her home that very night.
Meanwhile both Rick and Stephanie are lusting one another in bed. THey get a call telling them to turn on the TV as Rick spots Dana's show about him being a suspect for his wife's murder.
Rick tracks Dana down and forces her to tell people he's innocent. Although she refuses, he saves her for nearly getting run over by a truck. They start to have a friendship in which she tries to help him out from being framed.
He tries to bring Stephanie to do a taping at Dana's studio but she somewhat refuses. They get into a fight and he leaves.
After the taping of the show Rick and Dana start to get into a lustful situation. Stephanie stops by the studio and catches them.
She goes to a sleazy strip joint to use a payphone to tell the police that Rick is guilty.
Dana is mysteriously murdered after another lustful evening at his home in which I had a feeling whom the killer was. Yes it was Stephanie after revealing herself to Rick. This was all to obvious for a murder mystery in which the best moments happen when she gets nasty towards him. They get into a struggling situation a few times and then eventually gets murdered due to Rick's defense.
This is Famer's biggest budget that I've seen so far which earned a small limited theatrical release surprisingly. Still a bad movie focusing on lots of lust and skin. It's badly acted but Melissa was probably the best in the cast. Tried to really bring out her snarly and evil attitude near the end of her performance. While she behaved this way seemed to work in an okay fashion.
Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance 2015. A stiff sequel which is nowhere near as good as the original (Not saying the original was good but campy fun). The story takes 25 years after the original in which police detective Joe Marshall (Mathew Karedas) retired from the police force after the murder of his wife. However, is forced to team up again with his long estranged partner Joe Marshall (Mark Frazer) to investigate a series of assassinations. The gang they thought they defeated is back with a vengerance.
Alot of fast action martial arts and offering the same type of bloody violence than ever. Nothing really gruesome either.
Melissa reprises her role in it but just as a cameo in which she is running a diner. She is asked about some information on a case. Then she treats them to a meal and enjoying themselves. Does a nice job in her appearance.
The flick also features cameos from other performers from the original flick. The odd times shows some flashback sequences.
The story offers alot more tongue in cheek as well as the odd sci-fi/fantasy elements. Hell there's even kung fu fighting inside a plane which you don't see in an everyday flick.
Joe has a romance with a woman he mets on the plance and of course a moment when they have a romp. Yes there's plenty of nudity in this one too.
It was nice to see Melissa's character survives after being tortured from what she was cooking in her frying pan. I was wondering as to what happened to her since the story in the original never revealed that. A terrible songtrack which was annoying in almost every scene in this one.
Not an overly terrible flick but trust me you're not missing out if you haven't seen this one.
Puppet Master: Doktor Death 2022. This was the best film I've seen her in from Full Moon Pictures. The story revolves around a retirement home to which a deadly puppet created by a mysterious soul goes on a killing spree.
This one is a part of a cult favourite by Charles Band as the stories were about a creation from a soldier Andre Toulon on his puppets to go on a killing spree. In this one it only focuses on one puppet which is a direct sequel to 'Retro Puppet Master'.
Melissa has a supporting role as one of the senior citizens Gladys who likes to create paintings. A medical student April (Jenny Boswell) is new at working in the home in which she is shown around with the residents and is greeted by her character Gladys. She is of course not lustful looking like she had been in her earlier flicks but very old. Does a nice job when discussing as to what she was doing.
Later on everyone gathers around discussing her unfinished picture and people being impressed with it as this was an attention grabber.
This puppet goes on a killing spree killing someone with a breathing condition making it an unsolved mystery as to how this had happened. Then this being kills a coroner too in a gruesome way.
Gladys is finishing her picture which is the little deadly puppet. So you can see even if she had a brief supporting role it was a key as to what was going on.
The surviving employees check out the people residing there to see if they're okay and goes to her room she is stabbed by a bunch of paintbrushes. Sadly this was the last we saw her in this story. So the role was fairly small but quite effective.
Although it was supposed to be creepy to watch the little gremlin type puppet was way too funny to been taken seriously. Also a nice twist to the end of this in which it is a to be continued ending. I sure hope they make one.
