Undercover Heat is a 1995 erotic thriller film directed by Gregory Dark as "Gregory Hippolyte". It was Athena Massey's first lead role although she later said she regretted appearing in it.[1]
It was also known as Undercover.[2]
Psychtronic Video said the film "marked a distinct turning point in Hippolyte's involvement with the erotic thriller genre" as he refused to do another softcore film "unless I'm allowed to do what I want."[3]

Reception
According to Psychtronic Video, "Massey’s main scenes are a threesome and the one where she starts off in black vinyl bondage gear with a police hat and gun. And if you missed anything, she has best of flashbacks in the tub. The underwear is excellent throughout."[4]
Sight and Sound wrote "erotic-thriller king Gregory Hippolyte (aka Greg Dark) hits the mark with this sleazy nonsense... mainstream exploitation at its most unabashed."[5]
