    Special Features
    Joining a recent batch of unrated discs with unrated menus, Playboy playmates are featured on the menus as well as star in the most boring six-minute tanning tips segment (helpful hint for all you straight guys out there: just fast forward to the last minute for additional topless enjoyment). Also includes a trivia and fun fact track, a 15-minute making-of featurette, five deleted scenes, seven outtakes or bloopers; and a semi-hidden goodie.
