Writer-producer Simon Wolf made many classic Adult fantasy features at the turn of this century, largely forgotten because they seem diametrically opposed to the gonzo balls-to-the-wall product favored nowadays. "Blue Angel" directed by Bud Lee is typical light-hearted entertainment, sort of porn with a heart.

There are actually two angels in this piece, as Herschel Savage plays a crusty veteran angel who is assigned newly-dead Steven St. Croix to shepherd to the pearly gates by having him oversee good deeds back on Earth.

St. Croix plays a petty gangster done in by mob boss Evan Stone. George Kaplan, who collaborated on the script with Wolf, is also an actor here, playing (with accountant's old-fashioned eyeshades) the Routing Manager who coordinates who (upon death) will qualify for admittance to Heaven.

Asia Carrera, then married to Lee, is Kaplan's nerdy assistant, but providing her usual heat in sex scenes as Lee juggles situation comedy with XXX porn en route to a happy ending. 

The light and frothy entertainment generated a sequel two years later titled "Blue Angels: The Second Coming", with St. Croix and Savage returning, and Steven entrusted with directing. Both films are fun introductions to a bygone porn genre dominated by Mr. Wolf.

The comedy genre refers to a category of entertainment that aims to amuse and entertain audiences by using humor, wit, and comedic situations. Comedies are created with the primary intention of eliciting laughter and providing lighthearted enjoyment. They encompass a wide range of styles, tones, and themes, appealing to various tastes and audiences.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.

The fantasy genre features imaginative and often magical worlds, characters, and events. It explores realms beyond the boundaries of reality, featuring elements such as magic, mythical creatures, supernatural powers, and fantastical settings. These stories can take place in entirely fictional worlds or blend fantastical elements with real-world settings.
