“Hardcore Circus” Isn’t Clowning Around

Though the circus is generally seen as family fun, innocent and appropriate for all ages, Erica McLean's "Hardcore Circus" is anything but. (Which probably explains why we like it so much.)

As the feature begins, we're introduced to Erica McLean, a hardworking, beleaguered pornographer who can't catch a break. Protesters harass her outside her office, proselytizing neighbors interrupt her masturbation time, and just as she's finally getting a chance to relax, she slips on some dog poop...and is magically whisked away to the "Hardcore Circus," "Wizard of Oz"-style.

Once inside the big top, the plot melts away (with all the hot sex going on, there wasn't any room for it). Short clips of sepia-toned circus action are interspersed with super hot freakshow sex (which we mean in the best possible way). Though all the performers put on a good show, we were especially won over by Audrey Hollander and Otto Bauer's lion taming act and Kimberly Kane and Evan Stone's, um, sex scene (we weren't totally sure what circus feat they were performing).

In what's easily the most intense scene in the film, Audrey and Otto pull out all the stops. Not only is the lion tamer/lioness act wellplayed, but we have to give extra points to Audrey for taking a whip handle in her pussy, a cock in her ass, and a riding crop slapping against her skin. (I want to go to there. No, seriously: I want to go to there.) Oh, and of course, double bonus points for Audrey then doing double anal with a cock and a whip handle. (I don't think I want to go to there, but I really, really like watching it.)

Kimberly and Evan likewise impress, with plenty of dirty talk, rough sex, and some wonderfully delicious anal sex. We always love Kimberly's intensity, and it only ramps up when she's engaged in anal action. (And if "Content" really is her best anal scene ever, we have a lot to look forward to.)

Rounding out the feature are Madison Scott and Lee Stone, Aiden Starr and Rob Rotten, Lavish Styles and Tommy Gunn, Kendra Banx and Starri Knight (the feature's sole lesbian couple, who also are the only ones to fuck out doors), Ron Jeremy and Lilly Lovely, and a very, very brief scene of Blue Iris and Tere Joyce having their way with a few men—including a dwarf.

Alas, even the hardcore circus can't stay in town for forever, and Erica McLean's eventually returned to reality, where she wakes up in bed surrounded by quite a few cast members ("...and you were there, and you were there, and you were there"). Luckily, we have the ability to return to the hardcore circus anytime we want—all we have to do is press play. We have a feeling we'll be making regular visits this summer.
