Ecstasy Girls 2 (Odyssey) Review

Running Time: 81 min.

Production Date: 3 /01 / 2000 (movie) 09 / 2000 (cover)

Director: Nic Cramer and Jon Yuma

Cast: Asia Carrera, Tera Patrick, April, Carmen, Daniella Rush, Chris Cannon, Randy Spears, Backey Jacik, John Decker, John Strong, and Oliver Sanchez

Initial Expectations: OGV has put together some great DVDs. With this cast I’m hoping for another one.

Initial Reaction: It’s the best I’ve seen from Nic Cramer. Normally this isn’t saying too much, but in this case it’s a great fuckfest.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for hot sex with beautiful women

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants plot with their porn

Audio /Video Quality: The audio is normally clear and well balanced. There are a few muffled spots, but very few. The video looks very good for a Cramer feature. As this is the first of his features I’ve seen with Jon Yuma, I’ll give Jon the credit since I have yet to see a feature done just by Nic Cramer with a decent picture. The video here is clear and doesn’t suffer too much from shadows. It also isn’t tinted badly like Mr. Cramer likes to do so often.

Music: The music ranges from a nice balance to being a little overpowering, but not too much. It matches the scenes nicely and adds a little to the scenes when it isn’t covering things up.

Disc Problems: On my DVD-ROM player, the menu selection wouldn’t bring me back to any menu but would instead shuttle me back and forth between three of the girls.

Menus: The menus are fairly simple but well done. The chapter menu includes both the segment name as well as the leading lady in it, which I always like. When you select a scene, you bring up a second menu that lets you choose which part of the scene you want to go to, be it the blow job, pussy eating, a certain position fucking, or the cum shots. It also lets you go between the scenes on the menu. It’s a great addition to the chapter menu but one that I doubt many people know about because of where it’s located.

The Feature: After a recap of Ecstasy Girls 1 , Ecstasy Girls 2 gives a short flash to the scenes of this movie. After the openings, the games begin! Each scene has a very small lead-in for most of the scenes before getting to the sex.

April, who’s been amazing in almost every scene I’ve watched her in, starts out with Randy Spears, who directs her to show him her ass and pussy. She shows him her tits next and then masturbates a little for him at his command. Backey Jacik appears at the door when Randy taunts her about getting a strange cock and then has her suck his cock while Backey watches. She goes over and sucks Backey’s cock and followed by Backey fucking her from behind. Randy directs their action throughout the scene, with April often begging him for certain actions, such as being fucked harder or being allowed to cum. Finally, she takes both loads on her face to end this extremely hot opening scene.

Daniella Rush goes house hunting with realtor Chris Cannon in the second scene. Chris eats out Daniella on the pool table before she hops down to suck Chris’s cock. Neither bit of foreplay lasts too long before Chris plunges his cock directly into Daniella’s ass. She gets her ass plugged in a couple different positions before Chris gives her pussy any more attention. Chris ends the scene by letting his love load fly into Daniella’s mouth. Almost all of the scene takes place in front of a glass wall overlooking the ocean as the sun goes down. It’s a hot scene but the lighting looks a little unnatural at times.

John Decker starts out earning his money by giving Asia Carrera a massage that most of us would give up at least one of our fingers to give. After giving her the bug rub, John works his way to her pussy and massages it both with his hands and his mouth. Asia takes her turn next and gives the camera some really great looks as she goes down on John. John lays back on the massage table for Asia to ride him reverse cowgirl. It looks to be extremely difficult on both of them, but they still make it look good. Asia even takes off her shoes for the position. They move through a few more positions as well, with Asia looking like she’s having a great time through the entire scene. She alternates between getting into some driving fucking and playing around with fun sex. She ends this hot scene by taking John’s spunk on her face and tits.

Carmen tempts Oliver Sanchez and John Strong with a little Spanish dancing as she strips. This is the first I’ve seen of Carmen. She’s a very attractive Spanish lad with a cute face and a real body. She gives both of them a little head on a rope bridge before they all appear back on a couch with the guys DPing Carmen. Carmen gets DPed through most of the scene, but does take on the guys one at a time a little bit. The ending is pretty depressing as only one of the guys manages a poor pop and the other just jerks it feverishly. It’s an okay scene, but definitely the worst of the feature.

Finally, Tera Patrick visits the fire station where Randy West is on duty. It’s immediately familiar and reminds me of Seymore and Shane’s adventures in the fire station and especially Flashpoint . Randy pushes her against the truck to work over her tits before she drops to her knees to moisten Randy’s fireman’s pole as another fireman does paperwork in the truck. Of course, Tera looks lovingly into the camera as she works Randy’s cock over with her mouth and hands. Afterwards, Randy works Tera over from behind and then has her ride him as he sits on the fire truck. The fire truck is used very well in the scene, and Tera and Randy make it look effortless although it appears that it would be very difficult in a few places. This is one of the scenes that every Tera Patrick fan is going to want to watch. It’s an amazing scene and extremely hot as well with Tera finishing it by taking Randy’s population pudding on her face and in her mouth.

Although Nic Cramer normally has a very distinctive style, and not in a good way, Ecstasy Girls 2 doesn’t suffer from any of his normal problems. Instead it’s an extremely hot movie with less than a minute of setup per scene on average. It also has real credits at the end of the feature which is a very nice touch. Out of the five scenes, four of them are excellent with the remaining scene still being an average scene. The girls all shine in their scenes and the chemistry is very good, which makes this a great choice for anybody who’s going to have a spank-a-thon.

Extras: Ecstasy Girls 2 includes many common minor extras as well as a couple very nice big ones. The photo gallery lasts two minutes with five seconds per photo. The photos range in quality from very good to slightly below average. The cast listing includes a little personal information for April, Asia Carrera, Tera Patrick, and Daniella Rush. It also includes a photo gallery for all the girls except Asia (for which somebody should be put in front of a visually impaired firing squad) lasting around a minute is a very nice touch. Trailers are available for the Pick Up Lines, Slumber Party, Rodney Moore, Shane’s World and Peeping Tom series as well as Ecstasy Girls 3 .

The first major extra is a commentary with Nic Cramer and John Yuma. It’s a well balanced commentary with neither of the directors overshadowing the other. Most interesting is the explanation of Cramervision. I always thought it was the absolutely horrible editing, bad tinting of the picture, and extreme grain. The commentary explains that Cramervision is actually when the girl watches the camera throughout most of the blowjob. Also, it was not named by Nic but was actually coined by Nic’s crew. They also add a lot of comments about the performers as well as making the feature. They also have a nice discussion on boob jobs for both the negative and the positive. They also do a good job pointing out some of the difference you see between girls who have been doing porn for a while and newer girls. It’s a pretty good commentary with a lot of different types of information.

The second major extra is the behind the scenes featurette which lasts about twenty eight minutes. There’s a good news and bad news when it comes to the featurette. The bad news is that there’s only one scene from the movie covered in the behind the scenes. The good news is that it’s the Tera Patrick scene and it’s covered with some nice detail. Tera starts out the behind the scenes with her photo gallery before Nic goes over what he’s looking for in the scene with her and Randy. Both Randy and Tera come of ass quite professional but not so much that they can’t have any fun. You see quite a bit of the crew in many of the camera shots as well as hearing many of the comments. It’s kind of interesting as it gives you a feel for how things go down on a porn set (pun intended) as well as making you appreciate the job the editors do. It’s a nice look at the behind the scenes of a scene, I only wish it would have included a little of some of the other scenes as well.

Themes: Straight, group, light discipline, anal, spanking, and DP

Raincoat Factor: Extreme

Overall: Currently, Ecstasy Girls 2 can be found online for between $22 and $28 with most stores offering it for about $25. It’s an extremely hot feature and well worth the price. The transfer is also very good, especially for Nic Cramer, and the extras are very well done.

Note to OGV: Thank you for giving a Nic Cramer feature that’s easy on the eyes. Please keep this series coming on DVD!

Extra Note: Review updated 22July2001. I normally just do a quick check of the chapter menu as I review a DVD and missed the submenu. Thankfully, OGV is on top of things enough to e-mail me to ask about it. I really like what I’ve seen from OGV as it is, but my opinion of them is a little higher now. It's nice to know that they want to make sure that reviewers know all about what’s on their DVDs so they can let those who read the reviews know. Thank you Faron.
