Review by Flash:

Flesh of the Lotus is the second film in the Johnny Wadd film series, following Johnny Wadd. The film was obviously quickly shot, like the first one. However, in this entry, more of a plot for the film is starting to be developed. There is more use of exterior scenes, many shot in Chinatown in Los Angeles. The film still feels mostly like a series of sex scenes, with some plot stuck in. The construction of the film does start showing the direction this series would take come the end of the series. In this entry, Sheila (Heather Starr), a friend of private dick Johnny Wadd (John Holmes), ends up murdered and Wadd investigates her death. The sex scenes mostly have music over them, with little for live dialog or sounds. Flesh of the Lotus is followed by The Blonde in Black Lace, released on DVD as Johnny Wadd & His 13 Calibur Weapon
The presentation by VCX of Flesh of the Lotus is decent. The colors are a little muted and the image comes across as being slightly soft. There is some haloing in scenes, especially those with white or bright colors. There is some dirt, scratches, and blemishes on the print. The quality of the transfer is not pristine but it is far from horrible. The film is presented with a Dolby Digital 2.0 monaural track, which works fine. There is a low background hiss throughout but the dialog is always easy to hear. VCX hasn't included any extras on this release
