Best of Kelly  
Evil Angel

How often did Rocco ask his buxom English muse Kelly Stafford "how did you get to be so nasty?" And how often did I wonder if he really wanted to know the truth? As this compilation shows, Rocco doesn't wait for an answer as he gives wild child Kelly free rein to explore the outrageous side of sex, capturing her being gangbanged, humiliating old men, sucking off a dwarf dressed as a baby and of course putting herself through some extreme anal action himself. The idea of a busty blonde English rose turning out to be an insatiable nympho prone to the most extravagant sexual behaviour is undeniably alluring, but can you just sit there and savour the carnage without asking the difficult questions? These are the gory details, fight fans…

Kelly & Luna, from Dirty Anal Kelly in Rome
I remember the first time I saw this scene, thinking it to be just about the most intense, unhinged piece of pornography I'd ever witnessed. In the intervening years it's lost only a little of its impact. Real sparks fly in a scene that begins with Kelly and Italian starlet Sexy Luna flashing their bits from the back of a people carrier at poor Silvio Evangelista, following behind on a bicycle as he does a fair impression of Italian cycling legend Marco Pantani, RIP. The earlier part of the set-up in the Adriatic resort of Riccione has been shorn from this compilation version. Scholars of Italian innuendo may well be able to explain why, in the original movie, Gabriel Zero found the name of the town so amusing.

Anyway, Silvio finally catches up with the gang at a hillside villa where the sight of Kelly stuffing three fingers into her own ass and then getting Luna to suck them intimates the kind of action we're to expect. After Silvio's modest efforts at fucking the girls kick things off, Rocco enters the fray and sparks do really fly - it's a full-on, all-spitting, all-slapping, all-filthy affair crammed with ass-to-mouth oral and all-round rudeness. There's no little sadism in the way Rocco buggers these girls - the sex is mainly of the anal variety - but Luna (slim, blonde and tan though only moderately attractive) in particular proves a fiery partner, slapping Rocco back, and triggering a predictable response.

It's tough stuff no doubt but compelling viewing nonetheless: I suppose we could throw words like savage, brutal and aggressive at it - let's just stick with very, very sexy and be done with it. Silvio is marginalized by Rocco's typically assertive behaviour but after the main man has shot his load on the girls' faces, he follows up with a large load that these mucky pups gladly share.

Look who came at dinner - transsexual orgy from Dirty Anal Kelly in Rome

In an edited version of the scene setting in, Kelly amusingly explains her dislike for Martina Mercedes. The main dish is a debauched dinner party where, as the guests arrive, crudités are passed over in favour of crudity, with blonde Czech Renata Rey looking rather fetching slurping Andrea Nobili's tool while a pair of travesti get friendly with Kelly and Silvio.

Once we really get into the meat of the action, Kelly gets a pretty decent seeing-to from a slender, tan TS (Eva Ciccione or Claudia Costa - I'm not sure who) - the pair of them seem quite into each other - while Silvio and Andrea waste little time in getting fired into the other TS and Renata, who proves pretty comfortable in playing with whoever. I'm not a big fan of transsexuals at all, but this is one of the sexier scenes I've seen on the theme, with the great location - a rooftop terrace and penthouse level rooms in the seaside hotel set in evening sun - adding to the mood of debauchery.

Kelly & the Beach Boys, from Dirty Anal Kelly in Rome

Kelly is led off to the dunes behind the beach where she take on a large group of seemingly amateur guys in an oral gang bang. Kelly sucks off lots of men and is duly showered in come, with a few choice comments and sparky little moments thrown in as expected. This sort of scene, with others to follow, serves to illustrate recurring themes in Rocco's movies over the course of his directorial career (e.g. the oral gangbang, the young girl/older guy scene, the rough sodomy, the exhibitionism and showmanship) as much as making its own point.

Dirty old man, from Dirty Anal Kelly in Rome 2
If you'll forgive me, I shall refrain from lingering on this scene, where Kelly and Rocco visit an old folks' home. Kelly sucks off this old boy (Rocco calls him Mario - he's among the fuckers in Never Say Never to Rocco Siffredi and plays the hunchback in Marquis De Sade) before totally humiliating him by spitting on him, flushing his head in the toilet and generally roughing him up. To me, while Mario is apparently a willing partner, there's absolutely zero erotic value in this scene - your mileage may vary.

Girl in a box, from Dirty Anal Kelly in Rome 2

The ironic thing is that I have absolutely no moral issues with seeing Kelly and her "friends" (I doubt Christmas cards will be exchanged) in some gangbang action. Let me work that one out while I tell you that we next see Mario, all freshly shaved and reinvigorated, wheeling a Perspex box through the streets of Rome. The catch is that the box contains this crazy young English sexpot called Kelly Stafford! Sexy Luna presides over a busload of guys - echoes of L'Autobus Del Sesso - who load Kelly into the hold of their coach for the trip to an outdoor location where Kelly, Luna and Martina entertain this group of pro studs (Roccaforte, Baillat, Zampa, Ribot and Evangelista) and amateur cocksmen to a massive group scene, featuring bags of anal, deeply penetrating DP and lots and lots of come shots.

A golden shower for Kelly from Silvio that's in the Italian edition has been edited out, but otherwise all the highlights are there: from a catfight between Kelly and Martina, when the former tries to insist Martina take some guy's load, via some heavy-duty DP to lots of come-swapping between the girls, again with some sparks flying and some serious attitude along the way. You can really tell Kelly and Martina don't get on and this lends proceedings a certain edge that discerning viewers will really get off on!

Rocco & Kelly, from Rocco and Kelly's Perversion in Paris

Moving on to the somewhat disappointing Rocco and Kelly's Perversion in Paris, we find a band playing outside Rocco's hotel room (a great spot for the final stage of the Tour De France, I should note - watch coverage closely to spot the hotel just opposite where the riders emerge from the tunnel to turn left onto Rue de Rivoli) to accompany some morning sodomy for Kelly. A little oral and vaginal sex before Rocco works his tool into her open ass, causing Kelly to emit a squelchy fart. She turns round to suck him off and he wonders if she can taste it. He asks her what "it" might be. "Shit," she whispers, continuing to suck. Oh, so glad we can be honest for once about this whole ass-to-mouth game.

The funny thing is that for all this smuttiness, this is actually one of the most intimate and tender moments we're likely to see between Rocco and Kelly - a very gentle fuck ironically set as a prelude to one of the most unpleasant sex scenes I've ever seen in a porn movie.

Dr Fist gets a hiding, from Rocco and Kelly's Perversion in Paris

Rocco and Kelly then go out into Paris and pick up French pornstar and Robin Williams impersonator Alain L'yle, bringing him back to the hotel room. Initially riled by Alain's attempt to do his old Dr Fist routine, Kelly seems utterly pissed off with the wimpish and faintly creepy Frenchman; he seems intimidated by her aggression. While I know the whole thing is a set-up, a performance, an act, it sails uncomfortably close to the wind. There is some sex in among a lot of rough play, hard slapping and spitting - mostly by Kelly - but I remain totally unstimulated and utterly bemused as to what everyone gets out of it. Rocco's juvenile sniggering from behind the camera is also less than I expect from him, though perhaps in keeping with his taste for sensation.

Kelly in the cemetery, from Rocco and Kelly's Perversion in Paris
The next scene is taken from the same movie, and is an odd little interview sort of affair set in a Parisian cemetery. Rocco tries to quiz Kelly about her fantasies and so forth but she just seems to talk in riddles about the devil and the positive aspects of eating shit. Again Kelly seems enigmatic at best, childish and damn annoying at worst, and the scene appears to mix fantasy and real life in a way that both invites and confounds attempts to discern just what makes this girl tick.

Kelly the slave, from Rocco's Way to Love

It is ironic, of course, that I might take issue with Kelly's aggression in these preceding scenes, but have no problem with this dungeon-set scene which shows Rocco in particularly dominant and sadistic mode. The way he jabs his cock into her ass leaves little room to doubt his intent - let's put it this way: her pleasure is not his concern - and he follows this up with harsh back-handed slaps to her face that cause her to call for a pause to check her nose is okay. The thing is, while I may question her motivation, she seems to really want this and that makes this a little easier to take. It is also very raw and physically persuasive in a very basic sexual sense and that's what I get off on. The scene is taken from Rocco's Way to Love, one of Rocco's best features.

Kelly & Holly, from When Rocco Meats Kelly 2

Finally, rounding off the compilation is another scene based around more circus sideshow sensationalism. Kelly arrives at Rocco's hotel in Barcelona where Rocco tells her he's looking after someone's baby. It turns out the baby is none other than Spanish dwarf Holly One, resplendent in a big nappy. Being generous, this is amusing for a good ten seconds, but after that…

Kelly plays "mummy" and punishes him a little before giving him access to her big boobs and ass. She sucks him, giggling about his little mushroom and they have some very brief sex, a couple of times. I believe the Italian edition may show Kelly peeing on Holly, but frankly, I can live with out it. For novelty value, great, but otherwise it's really nothing to write home about and frankly not worthy of a place in a "best of" - WRMK2 does contain some ballsy, full on action that would have made a better finale to this comp.

Conclusion
Best of Kelly must have been a hard act to compile, as Rocco has shot so many explosive scenes with Kelly. Nonetheless, while they may accurately reflect Rocco's sometime taste for gimmicky showmanship and his almost shameless capitalisation on Kelly's outrageousness, I do have to quibble with the inclusion of several of the scenes as much of the latter hour of this compilation is really only of appeal to those who like to see some pretty unappealing guys being humiliated in one way or another.

Perhaps they have been used in other compilations - as I have all the originals I steer clear of comps - so apologies if that's the case, but I would have thought the early encounters between Rocco and Kelly in When Rocco Meats Kelly and True Anal Stories, the heavyweight scene from the first Animal Trainer would all have merited inclusion.

That said, the first few scenes here and that dark dungeon encounter, when Kelly's really into some serious sex action, do show her at her uninhibited best, proving why so many viewers find her so compelling. It seems to me that the troubling, darker side makes her much more intriguing than if she were just another busty blonde doing anal porn. I can't really and truly disapprove of Rocco for just going with it as I've followed every one of her escapades and uncritically absorbed the madness. Looking back now, it's hard to watch without asking just what the hell was going on. Whatever Kelly is doing now, this compilation shows her massive impact on Rocco's work, and while she's certainly not for everyone, I feel it's worth making her acquaintance. Provocative? That isn't the half of it!

DVD Comments
Picture quality is decent enough and perhaps is an improvement on the original editions of the movies. It's all perfectly watchable if not the pinnacle of audiovisual perfection. The disc boasts the usual Evil Angel fetish menu, with some interesting entries (!), photo gallery, a biography of Rocco - though not of Kelly, oddly - and cast list. A few more extras wouldn't have gone amiss, but it's a respectable package.
