SIN CITY (EUROPE)
Running Time : 88 Minutes (Euro-version)
Italian dialogue (I think) with no subtitles.
Having read very nasty reviews of this one from both Jeff (who, in all fairness, I don't think really gave it a chance) [I didn't -- JK] and JGrouch, I thought It was only fair to give a conflicting opinion. I mean, the film is by no means a masterpiece, but it's a valiant effort and certainly very unique... Before we begin, here's two quick notes on possible reasons why my opinions may vary from Jeff's or JGrouch's :-
1) I saw the Euro version, whereas they both saw the US release. I'm not sure what was cut (the whole film was pretty kinky, but there was nothing too taboo) but there was apparently about 10 minutes or so missing.
2) I've not *yet* seen "Sandy Insatiable". The Grouch suggested that this seemed poor in comparison with SI and was almost a cheap rip-off. This may vary my mileage from yours. But anyway, on to the review...
The film begins with Rocco recieving a letter in the post from a young woman called only "Sandy". She is a fairly attractive blonde, with very long hair (waist-length), a nice slim body, small breasts and notably round buttocks. As Rocco reads her letter, we see her lying on her bed in a room adorned with Rocco posters, as she reads magazines with Rocco interviews/pictures/etc. Having been impressed by her letter, Rocco rings her up (much to her delight) and has a chat with her. I can't understand a word of the dialogue but it results in her being invited to his house.
Cut to an elegant garden in front of a large Italian mansion. This, I guess is, Rocco's house, as he's relaxing in the front yard wearing a snazzy designer-label suit. She introduces herself, he takes her hand and gives her a short tour of the grounds. After we are treated to the lovely green gardens, she is shown into the TV room, where she lies on a couch as Rocco turns on the VCR. No surprises arise when we see it's a Rocco tape that's playing. On the screen, he is screwing Rebecca Lord in the back seat of a car. He leaves Sandy alone with the TV (what a rude host!) and vanishes off-screen. The scene on the TV continues but we see only snippets of it, as the camera is focusing on Sandy, who is now taking off her clothes and starting to masturbate. If you look close you see a Reverse-anal-cowgirl for Rebecca on the screen (I wonder which film this was from?) but it's awfully short. After a bit of Sandy playing with herself, Rocco returns, accompanied by Rebecca Lord whom he introduces as "Francesca" for some reason. Soon, it's clothes off all round as they break into a three-way screw. Rocco is armed and dangerous with a collection of multi-colored dildoes which Sandy joyfully plays with, while Rebecca takes Rocco in the mouth for awhile. It's not long before Rocco starts to doggie Rebecca. Sadly, while this is going on, Rebecca takes a double-ended dildo in her mouth and shares it with Sandy. This is one of my pet hates. No one gets any pleasure at all from sucking a bit of foamy plastic, least of all the poor old viewer. Not to worry, it soon ends (everything moves quick in this film) and we change positions again. Now Rocco is sitting on Rebecca's face (she is rimming his asshole) as he rams the dildo into Sandy's (who, BTW, does not get penetrated by any real appendages in this scene) crotch. This position continues for awhile, but instead of rimming him, Rebecca is now taking his (sizeable) member rather forcefully down her throat, while Rocco "directs" the action, telling her and Sandy exactly what to do. He doesn't hold out to long before shouting something in Italian to Rebecca, who soon scrambles into position underneath him for an oral cumshot. He shoots about nine spurts directly into her mouth, before (yeeeuuucck!) she dribbles the fluids into Sandy's waiting mouth. This is tres' gross. Even aside from the cumshot, the scene is merely lukewarm and barely even a starter for the rest of the movie...
It's now the second day of Sandy's stay with Rocco and she meets him in the garden (he's watering the plants!) wearing a pair of jeans with the butt cheeks cut out (tacky). He gives her a dopey grin and takes her inside, to a shabby looking bedroom. On the bed there lies four men in stupid masks (animals, socks on head, that sort of cheap stuff) ready for a mini-gangbang. This is quite obviously Rocco's attempt at mimicking Greg Dark's wildly costumed gangbangs but without the budget or style. Even so, this scene isn't too bad, if you ignore the blatant plagerism. The main difference between this and, say, Dark's gangbangs in New Wave Hookers 3 is that Dark's have a very controlled atmosphere to them, with the girl being carefully passed from man to man, each guy spending equal time with her, before the table rotates to the next guy. Here, however, Sandy scoots around the bed like nobody's business grabbing whatever parts of the guy's bodies she can get her hands on, sucking at every available opportunity. Interestingly, I can't recall her actually getting penetrated, so technically this is merely an oral gangbang, not a full-scale one, I guess. The one guy shoots his load after about a minute and delivers a minor facial. Another of the amateur gangbangers just stands around jerkin' the gherkin for a bit while Sandy delivers some double oral penetration (bzzzt!) to the other two. Another guy shoots an okay facial on to her, but then (stand back!) the third guy lets his load loose! Wowser! This guy can shoot with the pro's. He delivers a magnificent facial, firing a voluminous white load straight across the face (replete with an eye-shot for all you pain freaks and raincoaters). Even Sandy is taken aback by this one. The fourth guy's cumshot, if it ever happened, is lost in the debris of the last one and isn't noticeable. A very short scene, with the merit being given to Sandy's performance mostly, as the guy's serve mostly as a camera block and stay pretty still. Did I mention that they're all just average-joe's off the street? (Probably explains why the scene was so short!) They look the part, too, with a couple of them making Ron Jeremy look like Randy Spears. Still, that facial is certainly one for the history books... Connisseur would be proud to watch it. At the end of the scene, Rocco walks back on and asks Sandy if she liked it, to which she just giggles and glides off the side of the bed, face still dripping!
The third day with Rocco begins... She once again meets him in the garden (I see a pattern developing) and he takes her into a weird room with a wooden treasure chest and a fireplace. He shouts something in Italian and two black men in diapers walk out of the closet! Yes, this does tend to imply that Rocco keeps black males in his closet (a worrying thought) and this thought is re-implied at the end of the scene when he shuffles the two of them back off to the closet in silence! But anyway, the scene... The two men screw Sandy atop of and all around the treasure chest. They don't move much, but she can't seem to keep still, swapping from partner to partner literally every couple of seconds and making enough noise to put Teri Weigel to shame. The one guy dribbles his wad on to her face within minutes and the other guy, despite trying to hold it in, just blasts a load across her crotch. Obviously Rocco realized that this was just a bit too short a scene, thus the whole thing starts up again with an oral/vaginal DP, Sandy squirming atop the treasure chest the whole while, making it difficult for the camera to stay focused. Amusingly, we actually see the camera-guy's shadow on the wall several times in this scene, leading me to believe that the budget was perhaps not as high as the crystal clear videography would have us think... Anyway, both guys muster up facials this time, but it's nothing grand and certainly not nearly up to the standard of that last one. After it's finished, they don their diapers, wave goodbye and walk back to their home in Rocco's cupboard. (Weird...) Sandy just giggles and laughs (she's on drugs, I'm sure of it) as Rocco escorts her away.
It's the fourth day of the holiday and the bit that explains the title of the film. Sandy pops up behind Rocco as he lays asleep in the garden, wakes him up and they walk off into the conservatory or some kind of room with glass walls. Inside, we see 20 or so men from the Rocco Sifreddi Fan Club sitting around looking sleazy, unable to keep their faces straight, or their erections hidden. If this really does reflect the average porn-viewer, it's kinda worrying.... Will I get like this in a few years' time? Anyhow, she ties her hair back in a ponytail, strips off, and under Rocco's command begins the monster gangbang. One highly noticeable flaw with this scene is that it all seems so painfully stagy. You can see instantly that it's a film set and it almost has a behind-the-scenes feel to it. Nothing looks natural in this film. We can almost hear the director (Rocco, I guess) telling everyone when to move and where to move to. The only one who seems to disregard the instructions (unless the instructions were "go hog wild and grab anything that moves") is Sandy, who just jumps around like a kangaroo, sucking about four different guys in the space of a minute, while a bunch of others try holding her legs still for more than two seconds to try and achieve penetration. One guy gets in a bit of reverse-cowgirl and at one point in the scene there's some more double oral penetration. The rest of the scene isn't really too easy to describe as it's just a mass of naked men and one fast-moving blonde woman in the middle of it all, moving like lightning. All the cumshots are facials, but none are too brilliant on their own, although she does recieve one okay blast (with eye-shot). However, by the end of the scene, and after 15 face shots, she's hard to recognize. It's dripping from her face and hair, in her eyes, dribbling out of her mouth, the whole nine yards... Facial fans take note, this one has potential. Once the show's over, the guys all sit down, rubbing themselves down while Sandy stands up dancing and Rocco demands that she recieves a round of applause, which the men are only to happy to deliver. Fade to black...
It's night and Sandy is taking a much needed bath. Rocco walks in on her and they start talking (I don't know what about. I don't speak the language) and laughing. Soon afterwards, he grabs a razor and tells her to spread her legs. It's a shaving scene.... I can't say I'm a fan of this particular kink, but if you are, you may get a kick out of this lengthy shaving sequence, which ends with a brief bit of cunnilingus. After he stands up, she tries to get his dick out, but he tells her that she has to wait, as she sinks back into the bathtub, preparing for the final day....
I have to say that Rocco sure knows how to shoot a climatic sequence. The rest of the film seems positively tame compared to this finale' and I guess that this is where most of the US cuts occured. They meet in the garden (AGAIN!!!!) but this time, instead of taking her inside, they go out on the town... Rocco takes her off to a discotheque of some sort, where the lights are low and colored strobes are going off all around. He leaves to get changed into something more comfortable, and she starts to dance. This sequence almost proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was either drinking heavily that night or on some sort of drug. She makes Debi Diamond look like Savannah as she dances like it's goin' outta fashion for nigh on ten minutes (completely naked of course). Despite the high embarassment factor of her not being able to dance using body co-ordination, this is actually quite an erotic little prelude to the climax and serves to build up a bit of sexual tension for what's to come.
An orchestra booms and Rocco enters through the door (dry ice seeps through, to boot) dressed from head to toe in leather (more kinks). He starts with some cunnilingus, before quickly breaking into the blowjob sequence. She rims his asshole for a bit, then takes his monster penis in his mouth for a few minutes. This is all a bit slow and nothing on what's to come. She comes up for air. The atmosphere goes still. Then everything seems to move in slo-mo, despite the fact that in reality it's moving in hyper-speed. This is intense material! Rocco yanks her up, slams her against one of those mirrored poles and begins powerful slamming his cock into her newly shaven pussy like there's no tomorrow, much to her noisy appreciation. He grunts a lot and after a few minutes of this highly energetic standing screw, both partners are dripping with sweat. Now comes the taboo stuff. As he continues to ram it in down below, he starts slapping her face around and talking dirty in Italian. Much to my disbelief of what I was watching, he literally throws her down on to floor (she nearly bounces), gets her in a half-nelson and handcuffs her hands behind her back, as she sucks his toes. Now comes an almost unbelievably harsh anal pounding (her still cuffed) which really HAS to hurt (poor girl) with a member the size of Rocco's digging in with such force. Eventually he has her sucking her own feet (!!!) with her legs high in the air and body doubled over as he continues to pound her asshole with seemingly increasing force. This is one crazy sonofabitch ladies and gentlemen! With speed like a cheetah, he yanks himself out, drops her on to the ground and squats above her, jerking himself off into her face. This leads to a Peter-North style facial with Rocco unloading a ton of the stuff (about 11 squirts worth) all over her. She doesn't even flinch, just takes it all with enthusiasm. That's the amazing thing about the scene. She actually seems to (GASP) enjoy the workout that Rocco gives her. I guess that's what makes it a little easier to tolerate. After unloading a couple of litres, he forces her to deep throat him (ouch!) as he drools all over her hair (and to think this guy's a sex symbol) and makes animal noises. At the end of all this, she's nearly in tears as she holds on to him like a crucifix, expressing her (!) love for him! What is this girl on!?! The film ends as strobe lights flash off and on all around them while they passionately collapse into each other's arms for a freeze-frame kiss... [you can blink now]
I don't really know how to grade this film. The plot is non-existant (probably a plus being as it's all Italian anyway), the budget is low (although that last scene has some stylized lighting) and I'm not a big gangbang fan, thus the main thrust of the film is lost on me. However, the sex was certainly different to your average run-of-the-mill stuff and at times quite hot. The last scene is the most athletic sex I've seen in a while and both partners really seem to be getting off a lot during the act, which is a really rare occurence. It's not a bad effort at all when you get down it, actually, and I think that a lot of folk here at asm have been overtly harsh on it. Maybe SI is a good deal better, but I've yet to see that one, so with all this in mind I, personally, give it a presentable 3.05 on the Imperial Scale, which admittedly was probably just as that last scene really leaves a lasting impression on the viewer. You may disagree with me....
Happy viewing!
