"Back in action after a few years off from performing, Christy Canyon is a
 rare treat in erotic entertainment. She has a formidable body, with big
 juicy breasts and a well-rounded backside. Within a very short period of
 time, Christy went from being timid and tentative to igniting fits of
 orgasmic fireworks during her sex acts, panting and squealing with ardor.
 She has an exclusive contract with Video Exclusives to produce her own line
 of porn features, the first being Hot In The City." - Adam Film World 1990
