Reviewed by astroknight  on  11/22/2004

The Little Details

Running Time: 104 min.

Production Date: 2003

Director: None credited

Cast: Mercedes, Kelsey, Leticia, Candice, and a bunch of uncredited guys

The Short Story

Initial Expectations: Sensational Video has had a couple hits with me, but normally hasn’t been too impressive. I can’t get my hopes too high here.

Initial Reaction: It would be a lot better if it had a gangbang, let alone four of them!

Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting a Sensational group sex compilation

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting all new material

The Technical Stuff

Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects leave plenty to be desired. The audio is poorly balanced, and leaves the background noises at a higher level than the performers at some points. There’s also a fair amount of talk between the cameraman and cast that doesn’t look like just fun banter. The video also leaves a bit to be desired. There’s plenty of grain, a fair amount of shake, and even some shadows. You even get to see the cameraman a bit.

Music: None

Menus: The menus are okay at best. The main menu works in a bit of the movie while the chapter menu lets you choose a scene based on a still of each scene.

The Feature

All Amateur Video 5: Gangbangs collects four group scenes. At least two of them are already released on other Sensational releases, so I don’t know if this is a full compilation or not. Regardless, you never get anything to let you know where the scenes came from.

Scene 1 - Mercedes and three black guys

Mercedes starts things out solo. She lightly plays around with herself while wearing a dress and then moves to the other side of the bed to play with a black dildo sitting beside it. She squats down to take it into her pussy, and then lays back on the bed to fuck herself with it. After a bit her black man shows up with a couple of friends. She immediately starts sucking her man’s meat before turning around to suck another while her man fucks her. The other two guys join in a little throughout the action as well before Mercedes takes a little cream on her ass and her face. She even gets a little nasty by licking up the cum that drips on the bed.

This scene shows why fast forward buttons are around. To start with, I wouldn’t call this a gangbang because Mercedes only takes on two of the guys at a time. The third guy normally just sits back and watches or disappears so she never even strokes him while taking on the others. Just as bad is the fact that nobody really seems into it for most of the scene. Mercedes barely makes a sound and normally looks like she’s bored. She does put some decent energy into it, but a sizeable amount of the time she seems more frustrated than anything. The camera work is just as bad. It focuses on close-ups way too much, and was the biggest reason that the fast forward button came out. The last few minutes of the scene aren’t too bad, but the rest of it pretty much sucked. If all that’s not enough, this is a scene which was originally on Mercedes Gangbang. Of course, since Mercedes name isn’t listed on the boxcover (or much of anything else that might give you a clue about who’s in the movie), you can’t wonder if you might already have this scene.

Scene 2 - Kesley and three guys

Kelsey, a slightly heavyset brunette, starts things out on the bed with one of the three guys holding her leash. She works her way around the three guys orally, never hiding the fact that she’s probably never been with this many guys and is easily confused. After a long oral warmup, the guys finally move on to start fucking Kelsey. They work her through a few positions before they each give her a facial to finish things up.

Once again, this scene was already released by Sensational as part of Gem N Kelsey’s 7 Man GB. It has a bit of charm, but ultimately ends up failing. Kelsey isn’t one of the best looking girls I’ve seen in front of the camera. She’s actually far from it, although she’s neither unattractive nor extremely heavy. I don’t mind seeing women like this now and then because it adds a bit of reality to the scenes. Kelsey does look to enjoy herself, and smiles a fair amount. She has a natural enjoyment throughout the scene, and it brought a bit of enjoyment to the scene for me. She’s obviously not used to taking on this many guys, and it shows repeatedly through the scene, just like the cameraman’s inexperience shows. In the end, this is a lackluster scene, especially since it lasts over an hour, and the good doesn’t come close to outweighing the bad.

Scene 3 - Leticia and three guys

Leticia, a good looking Latino, starts things out letting a Latino guy such her nicely natural titties. She returns the favor with a little knob gobbling as they strip down and then hops up to ride him cowgirl style. They move on with a bit of doggie before they take a break and are joined by a couple guys. She lets one of the guys fuck her, but just sucks the other two until they explode on her.

This is a really disappointing scene. Leticia is cute and puts some nice energy into the scene, but by calling it a gangbang it raises it to a level that it’s bound to fail at because she only takes on one guy. The other problem with this scene is the cameraman, as once he starts talking he never shuts up. I was actually hoping that Leticia or one of the guys would pick up some of the clothes off the floor and either shove them down his throat or strangle him with them. This scene had a lot of potential but barely used any of it.

Scene 4 - Candice and a bunch of guys

Two beer blonde Candice starts things out diddling herself on the bed. She uses her fingers at first and then moves on to a dark dildo while looking like she’s trying to count the dents on the wall on the other side of the motel room. After a bit she’s joined by three guys, two whom offer her a cock to suck and a third who goes down on her. The two guys last about five sucks each before exploding on her face and are replaced with a couple others. They get sucked and jerk themselves to a pop and might be followed by a few other guys. I really can’t be sure since the camera work left plenty to be desired.

This scene is a complete waste of time. It’s put out to be a gangbang, but I never say Candice do more than suck a little dick! The camera work also focuses in so close you can’t tell how many guys she’s really taking on. This scene would have been better left on the cutting room floor.

All Amateur Video 5: Gangbangs is a disappointing and frustrating feature. On the disappointing side of things, there isn’t a single gangbang in the entire feature. I’m not sure that any of the girls take on more than three guys, and the only scene where there’s a possibility of more than three guys is an oral scene. In my mind at least, I think you need at least half a dozen guys to have a gangbang, and three certainly don’t cut it! The camera work was very amateurish, which I guess fits the title of the movie, but it holds things back since there’s frequent yapping from behind the camera that most people would have had the sense to cut out. On the frustrating side of things, I expected a new movie, but instead I got what appears to be a compilation. I know I’d already seen two of the four scenes here, and there was nothing on the cover to make it sound like this was a compilation. All Amateur Video 5: Gangbangs is best left on the shelf.

The Extra Stuff

Trailers are included for Best of Alexis Amore, Girls Gone Black 2, Put It In Your Mouth, and Wives Gone Black. The slideshow lasts almost two minutes with about five seconds per below average full screen photo. There’s also contact information.

The Down -n- Dirty Sex Stuff

Themes: Straight, masturbation, toys, interracial, group, Latino, and oral

Raincoat Factor: Medium high

Condom Usage: Between Mercedes and some of the guys

The Bottom Line:

Currently, many of Sensational Video’s DVDs can be found online for between $10 and $17. Skip this one. There isn’t a real gangbang in the entire feature and the camera work holds back every scene here. The technical aspects leave plenty to be desired and there isn’t much effort put into the extras.

Note to Sensational Video: A little work on your boxcovers to let people know what they’re getting could be a very, very good thing.
