"Fantasm Comes Again," the 1977 sequel to "Fantasm," delivers a smorgasbord of erotic delights and humorous twists, offering a fun yet flawed fantasy-fulfillment feast.

This softcore comedy sees director Colin Eggleston explore the naughty and adventurous sides of various women, presenting their sexual fantasies and experiences through a series of vignettes. The film follows a newspaper editor and their secretary as they sift through letters from sexually liberated women, each story more tantalizing than the last. From library liaisons to gymnasts getting hot and heavy during practice, the film offers a diverse range of scenarios that cater to different tastes.

While the movie is light hardcore content, it excels in showcasing nudity and playful storytelling. One standout scene involves Serena, whose humorous and erotic segment is a highlight for many viewers. The film also benefits from strong performances by Rick Cassidy and Con Covert, who bring their respective charms and physical attributes to the screen.

However, "Fantasm Comes Again" falls short of perfection. With a rating of 5/10, the film struggles to maintain momentum and truly ignite. While the anthology-style format worked well in the first "Fantasm," this sequel feels like it's retreading old ground, failing to bring anything significantly new or exciting to the table. The comedy is hit or miss, and the repetitive nature of the vignettes may leave some viewers feeling underwhelmed.

In conclusion, "Fantasm Comes Again" is a light-hearted and playful addition to the softcore comedy genre. While it may not be a groundbreaking masterpiece, it offers a fun and frisky viewing experience, perfect for adults seeking a titillating twist on traditional comedy.

So, if you're in the mood for a giggle and a blush, this film is worth a watch-just don't expect a deep or intensely satisfying cinematic journey.

After the success of Fantasm, it was surely logical that a sequel was produced but this did not garner the rave reviews and audiences of the first film. Perhaps this type of film was already passed its sell-by date. Written by Ross Dimsey and directed by Colin Eggleston, this film follows the same formula as the first but the ten vignettes are linked by agony aunt columnists Libby and Harry under the title, Dear Collette. As in the first film, the stories range from the comedic to lesbians to group sex to the non-PC rape-but-I-like-it type story.

Some of the cast of the first film were used in this such as John Holmes, Candy Samples, Uschi Digart and Serena. Late actress Cheryl Rainbeaux Smith appears in the drive-in movie scene. The library scene is probably the most amusing with the gymnasium massage being the most erotic. Which is the most non-PC? Probably a toss-up between the drive-in and the confessional. To me, this film is better written and directed than the first but it has had its day.

Harry, an old school cranky newspaper reporter helps a new girl reporter answer some sex letters for the "Dear Collete" advice column that she's taking over from him. She reads letters involving sex in the library, school locker room, drive-in rape, an elevator threesome lesbian action in the barn, and sex in church among others. This sequel to "Fantasm" lacks the charisma, originality, and fun of the first one. It's a dreary mess to sit through and it was very obvious that it was made simply to cash-in on the first movie and nothing more.
