The Short Story

Initial Expectations: It's been a while since I checked out some of Darkko's work, but he's never let me down that I can think of.

Initial Reaction: This is one heck of a great anal movie, and something everybody who's a fan of Jonni Darkko or who's just curious about him really needs to check out.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting passionate anal action

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting degrading anal action

The Technical Stuff

Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are nicely done. The audio is clear and well balanced throughout almost all of the movie, but there are some very minor background noises during Sasha's scene as well as a couple minor tweaks to the audio level throughout the entire movie. The video is presented in the full frame format and looks great. There's just a hint of grain and Darkko makes fantastic use of the lighting and brings in a little natural light.

Music: There's music for the tease segment of each scene which slowly fades out and then occasionally comes back lightly. It's fairly typical porn music, but it doesn't work too bad here because music is so rare in releases from the Evil Empire and because it does fade in and out rather than stubbornly and generically sticking around for the entire scene.

Menus: The main menu is fairly generic, and just gives a still that's largely made up of the boxcover. The chapter menu shows some nice care, however, and lets you choose a scene based on a small clip of each scene and the name of the lovely lady in it.

The Feature

Bet Your Ass 4 keeps things simple. Each scene starts out with a bit of tease and masturbation until the guy arrives. The guy often helps his partner warm up her ass, and isn't threatened by any kind of toy she might be using. As soon as they're ready, they get on with the fucking and make sure to mix in plenty of anal before going with a facial finish.

Scene 1 – Sativa Rose and Mark Wood

Sativa starts things out in a fuscia zip-up hotpants and a matching top touching herself and stripping down as she lies back on a bed. After giving each of her holes a finger she moves up to a decent sized pink buttplug both on her back and all fours, and sucks it clean with a nasty smile. When Mark comes in to join her he lets his tongue work on both her holes while they talk dirty to each other before fucking her pussy from behind so Sativa can taste her pussy. She kisses her way around the cock when it's time to taste it before sucking it, and get in a little more doggie fucking before sixty-nining. They also get in a cowgirl ride, and before Sativa lets Mark have the reverse cowgirl sucks, strokes, and teases him by sliding her pussy lips up and down his cock. She sucks the cock clean and gets in plenty more dirty talk before sliding her ass over his cock, and of course sucks it clean before letting Mark spear her shitpussy doggie style. Finally, Sativa happily takes Mark's load over her tongue and lets it flow out of her mouth as well as possibly swallowing a bit down.

This scene is a sure bet! Sativa looks fantastic, and I've rarely seen her have as good of chemistry with her partner as she does here. She and Mark trash talk back and forth the entire scene, and it easily takes the scene up several levels. Just as good is Jonni's camera work, which does a fantastic job blending shots of the penetration with shots of Sativa's reactions to getting fucked. Mark doesn't make much of an appearance on screen above the waist, but unlike so many scenes that cut the guy out of most of the scene this one never makes him feel like a non-factor. This scene alone has more heat than some movies manage to build up the entire time.

Scene 2 – Avy Scott and Anthony Russo

Busty blonde Avy, who's still looking smoking hot despite looking like she's lost a ton of weight, starts out in some black and red mesh lingerie complete with long gloves giving a show and diddling herself on a red chair. She takes her ass from one finger to two to a clear spinning buttplug, and lets Anthony work it a bit as she strokes his cock when he joins her. Anthony leaves the toy in Avy's ass as she starts sucking him, and gives her a good face fucking while also letting her work her great rack around his cock. They keep the toy in Avy's ass as she starts to ride him cowgirl style, and pull it out as they pick up speed. Avy turns around with her outfit gone to impale her ass on Anthony's cock, and takes a break after a bit to suck it clean. She also lets Anthony fuck her ass as she lies on her side and has him eat her ass, and shows some nice gapes as he fucks her ass missionary style. Avy and Anthony finish things up with some anal doggie and Avy sucking and stroking Anthony to a good pop in and around her mouth before she sucks out the last little bit and swallows it down.

This scene should drop more balls than all the roulette tables in Vegas in a night combined. Avy looks darn good, but I really hope she doesn't lose any more weight as I always loved her having more of a womanly figure. She and Anthony have great chemistry throughout the scene, and I love their little looks and smiles at each other. Avy takes a great ass pounding from him, and puts out some very natural vocals. Jonni has a good history of bringing out great scenes from Avy, and once again they're a great team. His camera work is just as good here as in the previous scene, and there wasn't a single moment I wanted the camera angles to change from what he used at all. This is another great scene.

Scene 3 – Mia Bangg and Mark Ashley

Brunette Mia starts her scene out stretching out a pink bikini that can barely contain her tits. It seems just a little too tight as she pulls them out to play with before laying back and playing with her pussy a little. She's joined by a shirtless Mark when she moves by a glass door, and he can't resist rubbing, spanking, and spreading her ass or checking out her pussy. Of course he gives her holes a little tongue and finger action as well as stretching it out with a buttplug like Avy's spinner. Mark moves in to fuck Mia's pussy missionary style with the toy still in, and even moves her around a bit so she can hopefully be as comfortable as possible before pulling the toy out and replacing it with his cock. Mia rolls to her side and lets Mark work between her holes, and gives him a little more sucking and stroking before riding him cowgirl style and sliding her toy back in. She lets him fuck her ass from behind, and even shoes off some nice gapes before going back to her back. Finally, Mia takes Mark into her throat a little more as she works him up to a decent pop that Mark shakes all around her smiling mouth.

Mia is a girl who always makes me feel like I'm taking a chance. There's something about her looks that just doesn't do it for me, but she almost always proves to be a safe bet. She lives up to those thoughts very well here, as I can't get too excited about her but at the same time I can't deny that she puts out a darn hot anal scene. She and Mark appear to have very nice chemistry and once again Jonni provides some exceptionally solid camera work and a great pace for the scene. I may not be as wild about Mia as a lot of people are, but she turns out a scene that definitely got a rise out of me.

Scene 4 – Sasha Knox and Anthony Russo

Sasha, a cute young brunette, starts her scene out just in a pair of black panties which quickly find their way around her knees as she bends over a bed and starts rubbing her ass. She lies back and puts a glass dildo to work on her asshole before Mark arrives to thumb it while licking her pussy. He stretches it out with a couple fingers next and lets her have a taste before working her toy back into her ass. They sixty-nine a bit so Mark can worship Sasha's ass a bit more while she strokes his cock and sees how much of it she can eat. She continues to stroke his cock while bending over as he works her ass over with her glass toy, a large black plug, and finally, his cock. Sasha takes Mark balls deep repeatedly before letting him skull fuck her to clean off his cock, and then climbs up and lets Mark hammer her pussy cowgirl style. She gets in a little more oral action before sliding her ass back onto Mark's cock reverse cowgirl style and then lies back for Mark to work on each of her holes. Finally, Sasha lets Mark cum in her mouth, spits it into a martini glass so she can admire it, and then swallows it down with a bit of a nasty smile.

Sasha may be fairly new to the game yet, but she's proving to be one heck of a good player. She goes a great job taking it in the ass throughout the scene, and puts out some very nice vocals the entire time. She looks like she's being pushed a little several times during the scene, but at the same time never looks like she's being pushed too far. Sasha looks like she enjoys how Mark's pushing her, and just play looks like she's loving how he fucks her. With the care Jonni's put into this movie by now with both the casting and the camera work this comes as no surprise, and once again this comes out a winner of a scene.

Scene 5 – Isabel Ice and Jack Napier

Isabel, a Welsh beauty with several tattoos and a wonderfully nasty smile, starts out the final play in a pink polka dotted bikini, and teases her goodies through it while giving herself a few slaps around her body as well. She turns around to show the end of a string of anal beads sticking out of her ass, and slowly pulls out a large pair of blue beads before giving them a good lick. She lies back and plays with her beads a bit more while she works over her holes before moving to a window where she's found by Jack. They head to a stool where he takes her from behind immediately before going to a couch where Isabel lets each of her holes swallow Jack's joystick. She sucks his cock clean before planting her ass back on Jack's black bone and letting him spear her shitpussy missionary style. Of course Isabel doesn't hesitate to suck his cock clean again when it's offered to her, and after Jack fucks her a little more she sucks his cock down her throat while letting him work her ass over with four fingers. Jack goes back to fucking her ass doggie style, and dumps a nice load on Isabel's cheek. He goes right back to fucking her from behind, and gives her another small pop on her tongue that she takes with a smile before swallowing it down and smiling again.

Isabel shows that although it can be a bit of a gamble to bet on black, there can be some good rewards at doing so as well. She does an amazing job at taking on Jack's huge cock, and they both look like they're having a lot of fun throughout the scene. There's smiles and laughs from both of them, and Isabel never seems to shy away from his size. As usual Jonni does a great job with his end of the bargain, and Isabel and Jack finish up Bet Your Ass 4 with the same heat that ran through the rest of the movie.

Bet Your Ass 4 is an exceptionally hot anal movie. Jonni Darkko really outdoes himself here, and blends a fantastic cast with the type of camera work that gained him plenty of attention soon after he moved to the wonderful world of porn. There isn't a loser anywhere in the cast, both for the men or women, and every scene has plenty of chemistry and energy along with some very believable vocals. It's also a nicely consistent movie, as I'm not sure I'd be able to choose either a best of a worst scene here. The only real complaint I can see anybody having is that the scenes all have about the same format, and they are all limited to anal couples action. That said, although there are some girls here that have proven to be more than adept at taking on other girls or DPs, I can't come close to thinking of this as a really legitimate complaint with how hot every one of the scenes here are. Bet Your Ass 4 is a very safe bet, and I can't help but recommend that anybody who's the least bit interested in this game take a chance with it.

The Extra Stuff

The photo gallery includes about thirty very nice looking full screen photos. Trailers are included for Trophy Whores 2, My Girlfriend's Whore Friend, Boob Bangers 3, Load Sharing, Bodacious Booty, and Girls Love Girls. In addition to a cast listing by scene and a bio for Jonni Darkko, filmographies are included for the entire female cast. There's also bonus footage, a bonus scene, cumshot recaps, and weblinks.

The bonus footage lasts a few seconds short of twenty seven minutes. Isabel starts things out talking about herself and giving a little history of herself and how she got into porn. She also talks about Jack, her bush, daring her, sex, and the type of thoughts that eating chicken gives her. Sativa is next, who talks about her puppy, her love of Mark Wood and admiration for Francesca Le, teeth, and food. Mark Wood is next, who talks about how he got into the industry, being lucky enough to have a job that pays him to travel and fuck beautiful women around the world, and his lovely wife. He even gives a bit of advice for any guys interested in getting into the industry before Mia Bangg gets her turn to chat. Mia talks about getting into the business, preferring anal, having good genes, and being flexible. Sasha talks about getting milder as she grows older and no longer fucking everybody available on the set, what she likes about porn, and preferring smaller cocks in real life and bigger cocks on camera. Avy finishes things up talking about working with Anthony before, sexual preferences, and her body. This is a very nice behind the scenes featurette. Jonni gives a few clips of the action being shot, but concentrates instead on letting the viewer get to know the girls. There's some very nice personality here, and since the girls are getting ready there's also plenty of nice eye candy. This is a very enjoyable behind the scenes featurette that definitely shouldn't be skipped if you're the least bit interested in getting to know the cast better.

Bonus Scene – Isabel Ice and a white guy

Isabel starts out on a white bedspread wearing only a pair of white panties and a white bra talking about how she's looking forward to sucking cock. She begs for it a bit after shedding her bra, and soon after starts sucking a white cock. She takes it into her throat repeatedly and gags on it a few times as well as giving the balls a bit of attention. Finally, Isabel takes a very facial to wrap things up before taking the cock into her throat one last time.

This is a pretty good blowjob scene. As always, Isabel is a joy to watch, and she gets into the cocksucking very nicely. There's tons of deep throating and some nice laughs as she cleans up after the facial. My only problem with the scene was that it didn't seem like it quite knew what it wanted to be. It started off nicely with the POV feel, and then the side angles made it seem a bit lost. This isn't a bad blowjob scene, but it would have been much nicer if it would have either went with a POV or a standard feel rather than blending them like it did.

The Down -n- Dirty Sex Stuff

Themes: Straight, tease, masturbation, anal, toys, ass to mouth, rimming (male > female), DP (technical), swallowing, and interracial

Raincoat Factor: Extreme

Condom Usage: None

The Bottom Line:

Currently, most of Evil Angel’s DVDs can be found online for between about $18 and $30, with a few stores offering them in the $20 range. This one is well worth the money with plenty of effort put into everything to do with this DVD. The sex is hot and passionate, the technical aspects are nicely done, and there's some very good effort put into the extras. This is a very hot and impressive DVD.

Note to Evil Angel / Jonni Darkko: It was quite a while between Bet Your Ass 3 and Bet Your Ass 4. I hope you don't take so long to bring out Bet Your Ass 5 if you're going to make this series this hot!!!
