Now I was ready to absolutely hate this movie before I even got it. You see, I hate gang bang movies and everything associated with them. They are low-end shit that is bringing the industry to its knees. Having said that, I saw this movie and expected it to be just that. However, what I saw was a series of vignettes that were all orgies, all being billed as being in a different part of the world. They take place in London, Egypt, Hawaii and the fourth one's location isn't mentioned. All of them are done in Europe anyway since this is the Private Collection!
Our first scene takes place at a mansion party and all of the performers are European and are looking good! The sex really is pretty good for an orgy movie but the direction sucks. The guys' butts and faces get the loin's share of the camera time and this takes away from the wonderful performances of the ladies. After about 20-25 minutes of this there is a domino effect of all of the cumshots. Most of these guys look like they are in their first few movies right now because despite near Peter North-like ejaculations, almost all of them attempt facials and completely miss the target! This hurts their performance marks in what is otherwise a decent sex scene. The other killer was again the direction because many times it looked like he didn't care what he shot and it shows.
That's the sound of the man... working on the gang... BANG!! Lemme hear you say it!!
Our second scene was all in French and took place in an Egyptian harem. The guy looks like Johnny Bluejeans from Viva Variety with that awful pompadour, but he fucks about 15 girls in what is the closest this movie gets to a gang bang. This is a very fantasy-oriented scene with the women who are not getting it just lying around masturbating. I liked this at first but let's face it, unless there is some action masturbating scenes suck. Also, the women in this scene didn't look all that great. I have to give the guy credit for his everlasting hard-on and his work ethic, but this scene lacked passion and they were trying to speak a broken English and it just sounded terrible. The previous scene was much better then this mess but at least it had a good atmosphere.
The 3rd scene is probably the worst scene in the movie. It features Missy and Mickey G. I don't like Missy but I really like and respect Mickey for his great work ethic. The guy is an animal in the best possible context and this scene is no exception. However, this scene has almost no audio at all and the direction is horrible. You NEVER get a real good look at any of them for more then a second. This continues for about 15 minutes and then there are a few decent cumshots and the scene is over. Bad editing, bad directing, bad audio, mediocre video quality with quality performances. Despite the hard work the performers give in this scene it is lost in a production disaster that the final product ended up being.
The final scene is right out of Dinner Party (the Cameron Grant classic) with Jonathan Morgan hosting a dinner party that ends up becoming an orgy. This scene looks like it was lifted from another movie but it wasn't a good movie, obviously. The sex is alright but I am now starting to realize that it is just about impossible to make an orgy scene look good when you are directing one. Orgies should be done in private because it looks good only to those involved and that's all that matters (take it from someone who knows!) This scene shows just how boring an orgy can really be on camera but it didn't look like the people involved were bored.
BOTTOM LINE: This movie wasn't great but it was a lot better then I thought it would be. I don't like orgy movies because the directors rarely show the ability to make them look interesting. This one is no exception and that is why I grade it so low. It is also obvious that the folks at Private are trying to get the nasty gang-bang crowd and are passing this movie off as a gang bang movie when it really isn't. Don't waste your money on this one, spend your money on Private Magazine because the picture quality is far superior to the video quality of the Private movies and the photographers all seem to give us great pics of the action! Until next time PORN FOR THE PEOPLE!!! - jOHNNY dENIM
