If Murray Head said that Siam was gonna be the witness to the ultimate test of cerebral fitness, where does that leave Japan? Well, you might say that the Chocoball is in Japan's court: wrestler Chocoball Mukai, that is! If Richard Chamberlain was "Shogun"'s anjin-san, then the comely Japanese gym rats Mukai pillows can only be Olivia Newton John-jin-san. More sake, please."Hardcore Workout" features a rarity in Japanese porn: unmosaiced penetration. The ban on non-animated, non-tentacular penetration in Japan results in movies that tend to feature wide shots that are less clinical than their American counterparts. It has also caused a generation of Americans to believe that Japanese people don't have sex. So the women featured in "Hardcore Workout" are the lesser-known and less shame-encumbered performers in the same way that Chocoball Mukai is known less as a wrestler than as a porn star with a ball-sac like candy. These health-conscious women turn their morning Stairmaster routines into something that makes their ancestors frown, but at least it provides Stateside types a window into ... I guess it provides Stateside types a window into their vulvas. And that grips me more than would a muddy river or reclining Buddha. · Third World Media (thirdworldxxx.com) · Buy "Hardcore Workout" (gamelink.com)
