Return of the A Team
Regardless of the title, this is not a take-off from the 80s TV show. Two losers hanging out with their girlfriends decide on a new and interesting career path - professional Ass Fuckers. They refer to themselves as the "A Team" and set out to give people proper instruction on the art of anal sex. Unfortunately, their first paid gig goes horribly wrong and they spend the rest of the movie watching everyone else have great anal sex. Pulled from the vault of Western Visuals, this was one of the early directorial attempts by accomplished director Patti Rhodes.
