Precious Gems

About This Movie

So, 'Precious Gems' is a real curiosity from 1988, you know? The film dives right into a chaotic blend of comedy and, well, a bit of sleaze. Randy West's arrival at the condo sets off a whirlwind of interactions with the maid, played by Nina DePonca—there’s this playful tension that makes it stand out. The pacing is, let’s say, erratic and keeps you on your toes, with an odd mix of beach party vibes and intimate moments that feel both cheeky and spontaneous. The performances have that raw energy you'd expect from the era, capturing the quirky atmosphere really well. Plus, the practical effects in some scenes add a certain charm, though this isn’t the main focus.

This film has seen limited distribution, primarily existing on VHS and a few obscure DVD releases. It’s not exactly a mainstream title, which makes it appealing to collectors who enjoy the offbeat and lesser-known gems from the late '80s. Demand is modest but steady, particularly among those drawn to the era’s unique blend of comedy and adult themes. Finding a good copy can be a bit tricky, given its niche appeal.
