Deep Throat Part Ii «Must Try»
The original’s premise was simple: a woman discovers her clitoris is in her throat. Part II jettisons any pretense of realism. Linda Lovelace is gone (she had left the industry). In her place, a new character, also named "Linda" but played by actress Linda Lovelace (using a stage name, not the original person), is now a patient in a mental institution run by the nefarious Dr. Depth (a pun on the title). Dr. Depth has invented a computer that can clone humans and extract sexual fantasies.
The plot follows the new Linda as she escapes the institution and teams up with a private eye to stop Dr. Depth’s plan to create a "sex computer." The film mixes soft-core sequences with hard-core inserts, comedic slapstick, and pseudo-science fiction dialogue. It is tonally erratic, shifting from farce to explicit footage with little coherence. Deep Throat Part II

It catapulted pornography into the mainstream conversation, triggered obscenity trials, and became a symbol of the sexual revolution’s excesses and hypocrisies. Star Linda Lovelace became an unlikely celebrity. So, a sequel was inevitable. Released in 1974, Deep Throat Part II arrived with almost no involvement from the original team, a different star, and a bizarre new premise. It is less a continuation and more a fascinating artifact of how quickly the adult industry attempted to institutionalize its own history. The original’s premise was simple: a woman discovers
