Audio/Video Quality: Like many Metro/Toxxic releases, this one has a clear, crisp picture and decent, if basic, monaural sound. It follows the KISS principle: Keep It Simple Stupid, and succeeds. It was shot on video with proper lighting so you get to see all the action. There wasn't a blaring disco beat to cover the performers' voices so you get to hear them as well.

Body of Review: Here's what I said years ago when I reviewed this low budget title: "The premise of this DVD is to show women getting triple penetrations. That's right, each hole filled at the same time. There were five scenes and each of them followed the same pattern-oral, straight, anal, TP. Those of you scared by plot, acting, innovation, and all the other qualities that make for a superb movie will feel comfortable here. That's not to say the DVD is hopelessly flawed. Quite the opposite-it is exactly what you are promised on the DVD case. If only other company's would subscribe to the truth in advertising concept shown here-we'd all be better off. If you accept the limitations of this one, you will find that the sex is above average and it makes for a good stroke film. If you really like TP's, you should add a point to the overall and sex ratings I give it. That said, here a breakdown of the scenes/performers." Okay, aside from some of the usual hype, this was a bare bones release with a lot of mechanical action taking place and even some chemistry in certain scenes. Noting the various limitations to the scenes and my review at the time, it had more to offer than your run of the mill crud released by then and I gave it credit for such:

Scene One: The first scene has Sana Fey with Jake Steed, Kyle Stone and Brandon Iron. She had a perfect ass although her implant scars detract a bit from her looks. Like all the other scenes, she took it in each hole and gets a facial at the end. It was a very warm scene though that fulfilled the advertised action nicely.

Scene Two: The second scene has Elena with John, Randy Spears, and Brandon Iron. Her razor burn and ass zits were kind of nasty but she did seem to like the action more than some streetwalker working her little corner of the world for a hit of crack. It was a bit hotter than the first scene except for the noted blemishes.

Scene Three: The third scene had a personal favorite, TJ Hart, take on Mark Davis, Vince Vouyer, and Brandon Iron (Brandon is a lucky guy in this movie). She looks great and my only problem with this scene was that one of the guys kept grabbing her throat. I'm not into choking and I didn't get the impression she was either. Otherwise, it was a pretty hot scene and I'll admit that Ms. Hart is someone I have always enjoyed watching engage in heated sexual activity.

Scene Four: The next one has Sabrina Johnson, Mark Davis, Mark Wood, and Jake Steed. She was very young looking and natural. She had a few zits too but overall is nice to look at. This was probably my least favorite scene as it appeared that she wasn't into the action as much as the others.

Scene Five: The last scene has Johnni Black, Brandon Iron(see?!? I told you he was lucky), Kyle Stone, and Julian do the same stuff as the others. It was nothing innovative but still a good scene for what it's trying to be. She was good looking and had fun; proving that following a mechanical formula isn't always a bad thing.

Summary: As long as a movie like this accepts what it is up front and has no delusions of grandeur, it remains fun. You won't be bothered by the stuff that so much porn attempts-and fails at-here. This is simply a group of moderately attractive people having sex in front of the camera and nothing more. It's not even trying to compete with top scale feature porn movies since this was designed for one purpose and one purpose only; to get you off as you pleasure yourself. This is typically what lower budget porn relies on and in a sense; that keeps it from coming off as pretentious. If you aren't into triple penetrations, you might want to Rent It first but it had a fair amount of fuck for the buck. The movie isn't trying to be all things to all people and is a value release so act accordingly.

This Don Houston "retro-review" was written long ago before the so-called Professor of Porn had much experience writing reviews. Since that time, he has found Metro Interactive to have a lot of good releases and seen more porn than almost anyone reviewing on the internet. Keep in mind that his comments accurately reflected his fresh viewpoint of the time he first saw the movie.
