Initial Expectations: Considering the only other film I’ve seen from Mario Salieri, namely Dracula , sucked, I don’t have much hope for I> Arabica either.

Initial Reaction: It’s highly inconsistent movie, but does have some hot sex. The DVD as a whole, however, is pretty poor.

Who Should Watch It : Fans of Deborah Wells and people who like forced sex

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants to see mostly consensual sex

Audio /Video Quality: The French audio doesn’t appear to be too bad. The English audio is dubbed and sounds ridiculous, which is par for the course for dubbed audio. I could barely keep from laughing through most of the audio. Ron Jeremy and Sunny McKay are dubbed in both languages. The video is pretty grainy, appearing like it was shot on film originally.

Music: The music is all over the place. It goes from typical porn music to sexy jazz to soft rock with vocals. It’s a nice blend that’s balanced very well with the other audio and does help the scenes out a little.

Menus: The menus are extremely simple with no animation whatsoever.

The Feature: In Arabica Sunny McKay plays a woman in an unhappy marriage. Things go from bad to worse when she’s kidnaped by the Prince of Bahrain, who adds her to his harem. Her sister, Deborah Wells, sets out to find her but encounters some of the same Hell that she’s entered.

While Sunny McKay gives a blowjob to a guy by a castle and taking his pop in her mouth, Ron Jeremy gets busy with Jasmine in the car they arrived in. Jasmine sucks him off and then lets him fuck her between her legs. Not in her pussy or ass, mind you, but between her legs. It comes off as looking like they were trying to fake it but the cameraman messed up. Afterwards he fucks her in the pussy and ass with Jasmine looking like she’s in pain more than anything. Ron ends it by blowing his hedgehog seed all over her ass. Neither scene is that good.

Sunny McKay dances and strips for her jealous husband to start the next scene. He plays with her pussy a little while she gives him a long handjob and blowjob before she lets him fuck her. They finish it off with Sunny taking his spunk spray from her head on down while she plays with herself. It’s much better than the previous scene, but still not quite up to an average scene.

Sunny McKay is kidnaped while her husband is away and taken to the prince. She’s told that she pretty much has the choice of pleasuring the prince or being killed. Sunny shows some good energy in the scene, with things such as an underwater blowjob, as well as showing some decent acting in the scene. It’s clear throughout the scene that she isn’t really a willing participant. She finishes it off with a good facial that she shies away from as much as possible. It’s a better done scene than the previous ones, but I’ve never found scenes that get close to rape that enjoyable.

The Prince makes Sunny McKay get busy with Jasmine, one of his harem girls. Sunny and Jasmine work over each other a little before teaming up to suck off the Prince. The Prince then lies down so Jasmine can ride his face while Sunny rides his cock. They change positions a few times, with Sunny taking the Prince in her pussy in a few more positions and Jasmine taking the Prince in her ass before he blows his load into the air with both girls getting a little taste. It’s an okay scene that does pretty good with the time it lasts.

Meanwhile, Ron Jeremy and another of the Prince’s guards pay a visit to Deborah Wells and her friend in jail to let them know that they might be able to earn a “get out of jail free” card. All the other prisoners watch and jerk off while Deborah and the other girl each suck off a guard. Deborah then takes care of both guards while her friend goes over to let the other prisoners fondle her. They all switch around a few times, including the other girl taking care of both guards later, before Ron launches his love load on Deborah’s face and tits. We never see the other guard relieve his pressure. It’s a pretty good scene thanks to the skill and heat of Deborah Wells.

Deborah Wells, who just can’t catch a break here, starts off with a guy who’s about Dave Cummins’ age and another guy who looks like he might be Ed Power’s brother. She gives both of them a little oral love before letting them fuck her. She plays with herself as the guys jerk off and pop over most of her body. For some reason, the scene is also cut with her taking on Ron Jeremy again, and everybody else on the bus watches and jerks off as she puts her talents to work in both cases. When she’s with Ron she blows him and lets him have a quick fuck before he pops on her stomach. It’s a poorly edited scene, and although Deborah does a great job, the editing brings the scene down quite a bit.

Arabica is definitely a different movie. Very little of the sex is consensual and much of the movie is laughable. Although most of it takes place in Arab countries, the darkest skinned person is Ron Jeremy. It also has a fairly good twist in the last few moments, but rather than make the movie a little better, it drags it down another notch. There are some good ideas here, but none of it comes off very well.

Extras: Internet information only

Themes: Straight, anal, forced sex, toe-ing, lesbian, group, and tit-fuck

Raincoat Factor: Medium

Overall: Currently, Arabica can be found online for between $19 and $23 with most stores offering it for about $20. The movie is very inconsistent with a fairly poor transfer and no extras. Before you spend much on this one, rent it.

Note to Plum: A few extras, such as filmographies for the stars or some extra information about Mario de Sica would be a nice addition.
