For all the hip-hop heads and cats older than 35 you know that the term def was synonymous with dope, bad, raw, tight, fly, sick, ill, noice, fresh, or more recently, fire. If a person said "those shoes are def" or "that song is def" that meant they really liked it. Even still, with a title like "Def by Temptation" you expect the movie to be boo boo. And it was.
A fine and promiscuous barfly was bedding one man after another and killing them. Her ultimate goal was to destroy Joel (James Bond III), a minister in training. Joel had an inexplicable urge to go to New York and stay with his life long friend K (Kadeem Hardison). Little did he know he was subconsciously heeding the siren call of the fly demon (that's fly as in def).
K figured out what the haps was and hooked up with his homie Dougy (Bill Nunn) to waste the murdering mistress. They failed to do so, but Joel, through his strong faith, was able to conquer the she-demon known as Temptation.
Like I said, the movie was wack. The woman was a demon that had the characteristics of a vampire. I mean, she had no reflection for goodness sake--that is the mark of a vampire if there ever was one.
For my time I wanted to see Kadeem Hardison, Bill Nunn, and Samuel L. Jackson, three well known actors. Kadeem was a comedic breath of fresh air while SLJ had a tiny role and Bill Nunn's character was pretty weak. No way they do such a movie as this later in their careers, but when you're just starting out work is work.
The movie was clearly low budget. In fact, I'm sure all the actors were paid in IOU's. The movie looked like one long 90's music video. If they played Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston, and Jodeci songs throughout I would have believed it was a music video. Just think of the old school late night BET commercials for selling love song CDs---that's the look this movie had.
