This is the first title from the new(ish) Zero Tolerance studio that I've had the chance to check out. I must admit that I was wondering what yet another new outfit was going to offer, operating in roughly the same ball park as DVSX and the by now established Red Light District. They even operate out of the same few blocks of Chatsworth, CA. The point being just how are these guys going to distinguish their output from all the rest?

With seeming controversy over an earlier release, it initially seems cheap sensationalism may be their MO. Combining this with a topic - the "cream pie" (the first and last time that term will appear in this review), or internal come shot - that I really don't care for, or more exactly the typical porn coverage of which I don't care for, and yet more unnecessary box cover blurb about "filthy sluts" is not an auspicious start. But, there are a couple of intriguing names lurking on that cast list, so all may not be lost. Let's see.

Ashley Blue
Things are looking up, in more ways than one, as the camera focuses on the crotch of Ashley Blue, this dynamic performer who's knocking 'em out all over the place of late. Pulling up her panties then revealing a bald pussy that looks sweet and tight, Ashley enjoys a little chat with the whispering guy behind the camera, who I presume to be director Danny Case. If she's happy to be called a bitch and a whore, then who am I to argue? Still, I don't have to like it. Besides, this playful intro where Ashley proceeds to pop a butt plug into her ass and to fill her pussy with a dildo is good fun, and rather sexy.

And so, with a come-hither wag of the finger and a seductive pose, Ashley meets Nacho. What a pairing. First, contrast some trademark deep, wet oral that you'd expect from this duo with hot kissing. Then ponder why Ashley sticks her hand in her throat to bring up more drool to enable Nacho's cock to slide right into her gullet. Sexy? Hmm. Next, to doggy style sex, powerful, punctuated by spanks and squeals as she spills onto the floor. Foot play, butt play, Ashley fucked with the butt plug in, face down on the floor, Ashley glowing like she really likes it. It's all going on, at pace.

More still: Ashley sucks cock again, Nacho fingers her squelchy pussy fast and they sort of 69, sort of him sitting on her face. Ashley performs impressive feats of sword swallowing before Nacho takes her firmly once more. Again, Ashley brings up a mess of drool to facilitate entry, this time to her ass. Classy. In missionary moving into spoons, the anal is pretty firm and Ashley strums her clit furiously in search of orgasm, which it seems she finds later during reverse cowgirl anal. In between, we can see in other positions just what a filling Nacho's cock is for quite a petite girl, but there's no faking her Cheshire cat grin. There's another outstanding view of the anal penetration in the cowgirl position.

In the end up, the internal ejaculation is already spilling from her pussy while Nacho's still inside her, and attempts to get her to push it out are an unerotic waste of time - in my view. That's not to detract from a very hot scene, which was intensely physical but not mean-spirited which goes to show it can be done. The other notable quality of the scene is ironically the impressive, fluid camerawork that unobtrusively follows the action, and takes Nacho's lead, contributing to a scene that just feels that bit better than standard production line fare. It's not loose like Joey Silvera but it's a good way to start.

Ashley Long
Ah, Ashley Long. What to say? If there's anyone working harder than her, I'd be surprised. But all this endeavour does mean she's pretty much ubiquitous, and if you're not a fan…well, it sometimes seems you can't avoid her. I mean, how many movies do you need to see before you've seen the best of any one performer, anyway? Me? Well, I can admire her long legs and fine bum, shown off particularly well by some clever angles in the opening tease sequence, again done with a nicely playful touch. I think this tall English blonde is quite pretty and her commitment is not in question, as there are few people who give each and every scene their best shot. It's simply the case that there's something going on with Ashley that doesn't do it for me.

Enough of my waffly excuse making, here's what she does in this fast moving scene. After she's played with a butt plug and shown us her pussy. Three naked men (Ribas, Wood, Ashley) run out onto the patio area where she's on a couch and quickly commence taking turns at fucking her while she takes alternate pricks right into her throat. The fucking is pretty firm, the sucking rather intense.

Then Ashley gets into variations on the DP. First, a cowgirl anal position becomes DP, with turns taken at her pussy, and then a cowgirl turns into DP number 2. A knob in her mouth proves three does go into one. This becomes a double pussy penetration, with oral, which is all shown in eye-bulging close-up. Double anal is her next feat; though the guy on top has a noticeable haemorrhoid! Too bad the camera lingers on the penetration and never captures Ashley's response to the act, which is, if I am not mistaken, the whole point of this. Maybe I am missing the point entirely. Answers on a postcard.

There's a little ass-to-mouth and then each guy fucks her in missionary, comes in her pussy, and she squeezes each lot out in turn into a glass. Again, I am really not interested in this sort of stuff. Otherwise, it's a hot and hard scene in which Ashley excels without so much of her usual dirty talk, which I find can sound contrived. Re-reading what I noted down about the DP part of the action serves to illustrate that the focus shifts too much away from the girl, the star, to the nuts and bolts of the penetration which is not where my interest lies.

Flick Shagwell
I haven't seen Flick, another English lass, for a while but she's looking particularly svelte in a very flattering, very foxy denim outfit of all in one shorts and zip top. Just the kind of thing for a girl with an Austin Powers pseudonym and a nice departure from standard porn attire like Ashley Long's tacky fishnet stockings. Flick has dark hair and is slimmer than I thought - not sure if she actually looks as good as before, though. It's quite saucy to see she has a butt plug already in her sexy ass as she peels off her outfit. Nice. During this intro, she chats with the director and inserts another plug in her pussy.

Two guys for Flick - Mark and Jay - and they make fairly crude use of her willingness to take cocks deep. Spit flies as her face is, to put it bluntly, fucked. Flick takes it straight up her ass after, in reverse cowgirl. She four-fingers her pussy and amazingly Jay manages to squeeze his cock in there too. Crazy, isn't it, that a director can show a girl with a dick in her ass and four fingers and a second cock in her pussy all at the same time, but four fingers and a thumb will have the prosecutors on the case. Anyway, more "traditional" DP action follows, from reverse cowgirl and then cowgirl, where she seems to be in some discomfort from Jay's wayward thrusting. Naughty ass-to-pussy action in missionary leads on to Jay coming inside her vagina, but she squeezes out as much anal lube as come into a glass after. Mark's cock is clearly covered in a foaming mess of another man's semen as he fucks her and the same internal/squeeze pattern ends the scene. It's getting like a stuck record, but once more the finale tends to detract from the rest of a strong, well-shot scene that focuses a little too much on the party-piece acts for my liking.

Kelli Tyler
Slim brunette Kelli sports an interesting pink polka dot outfit for this scene (she's on the cover). I hate the flouncy top, but I love the knickers, especially when stretched across that fine ass of her. She's teasing our director with her sexy natural tits, tipped with prominent nipples. I guess she's quite pretty, but it takes a broad smile for her natural appeal to cut through the make-up. As she rubs her pussy on the couch, those knickers cast aside, Nacho comes in and she feeds on his dick. This is another of these situations that baffles me - she's willing to take his dick deep, if not all the way down, but she shies away from his admittedly overwhelming kisses. They don't kiss again.

Nacho resorts to kissing her pussy. Now down to white stockings and heels, Nacho fucks her firmly in mish and reverse cowgirl. I like the way she works it herself while standing, and generally this position is good to show her slender frame and those particularly pretty tits. She yells out as Nacho bounces her like a doll on his cock, and things seem to be getting nicely heated. However, more missionary fucking, nice and deep at that, is mere preamble to the internal ejaculation to conclude the sex. This is about where my interest ends, as Kelli spreads her twat to drip out the come Nacho's shot inside her. Shame that this scene is a little too short, but then it never sparks up quite as I'd hoped and it gives the impression that things between them weren't quite as they should be. Who knows? Still, it's fun for the most part.

Sophie Evans and Mandy Bright
Now it must be a rare occurrence that Sophie Evans, the super sexy super star, is outshone in a scene, but that's what happens in this knockout encounter. It's almost a real life wife swapping party, as we see Toni Ribas and Frank Gun have hold of chains which are attached to butt plugs embedded in the raised asses of their respective partners, Sophie and Mandy. Initially this all seems slightly stagy, and Sophie's affected moans before anyone's barely touched her raise my suspicions. But then something happens as the guys start playing with the girls' backsides and Mandy just takes off! She dives into Sophie's pussy to join Frank in eating it as the mayhem begins.

This all turns into a real rampage that (mainly) completely enthrals me. I first saw Mandy, a tall Hungarian with a slightly strong facial look and a womanly figure, much like Sophie in fact, in Christoph's Beautiful Girls 4 and since then her career's taken off with a major role in Private's Gladiator and a full round of the US studios at the time of this production. She never used to perform anal sex, but here she's taking Toni hard and fast right in her butt and loving it. She doesn't look as good as sometimes, but then she's going really wild, getting into a mess, deep throating cocks, taking a DP or two and even squirting all over the place as Toni does his trick, fingering her fast. I am surprised but delighted to see her really get so into it, though I guess her partner helps. Frank's perfectly competent performance is barely enough to get Ribas' wife Sophie going, in sharp contrast. Toni pushes Mandy very hard, but then they do seem to feed on each other's energy and keep raising the level. Sophie also does some DP but this isn't a scene to list a load of sex positions or acts, it's all about a great feeling created by some first rate sexual athletes.

That is maybe a slight problem, as the whole thing does seem almost set up like a live sex show which Danny Case gets to turn his camera on. I do get the feeling Mandy and Toni run the show (it just feels like a Ribas scene; even the girls' fishnet tops are like ones worn in Ribas' Exxxplosion) and Danny just shoots it, which is a good thing. It keeps the flow going amazingly and avoids the feeling that they're going through a textbook list of positions (no names, but you can guess what directors I might be talking about). However, it's not quite as intimate as it might have been with just Toni and Mandy, and the other pair are frequently left on the outside. Balancing the chemistry in multi-person scenes is undoubtedly a tricky business, not helped by picky fuckers like me who pull holes in cracking sex scenes like this! Anyway, to finish on topic, each girl gets a load shot in their pussy and taste the results from the other girl's vagina, if you follow. This makes marginally more sense at the end of an epic group encounter, where it looks like there's still unfinished business.

Honey
Odd to put another scene after that climactic affair, but here's the final encounter as Honey, a young, modestly attractive girl with streaked hair, a sexy body and nice legs, teases our director again, as she warms up for her first ever anal scene by using a buttplug on her "virgin" ass. Hmm, that goes in suspiciously easily. I saw Honey a while ago in RLD's Someone's Daughter, and since then she's had a boob job, which is a reasonable job as these things go, but still quite unnecessary in my view.

It's hard to avoid the conclusion that this movie is in a different league as far as the vibe during the sex is concerned because of the choice of Ribas and Nacho as lead male performers. Toni does the trick again, in another hot scene where he really lights up the young lass, though I'd love to know if she thought it the best sex of her life as the director promises during the behind the scenes clip. Honey gives Toni some more appealing deep, wet oral (it's amazing how many girls can do this now) and then he returns the favour. He pulls out the butt plug and tries her ass a little, reverts to the pussy, and then in reverse cowgirl hands control of the anal experience to Honey. She takes it anally in doggy too. Toni does his party piece and fingers her fast to orgasm, or so it seems, as liquid spurts from her twat. He then adds to the fluid in her glowing pink pussy with his own come. While I like to see a pretty pussy like Honey's, all wet and open, there's nothing in the come-squeezing conclusion to convert me to this fetish. The thing I like best in this scene is just looking at the way Honey watches Toni so closely as he seemingly strives to give her pleasure. Which is my pleasure to watch.

Overall
I'm rather impressed by Internal Cumbustion, with one major caveat. It may make little sense to complain about internal come shots in an internal come shot movie, but then since when did logic have anything to do with sexual preference? I actually don't mind if the guy shoots inside the girl, it's all this straining and farting afterwards that I find really ruins the mood after some excellent high-energy sex.

In truth, such novelty acts and the other excursions into stunt sex are really unnecessary, because this is a very handy piece of work. As I was unaware of this director before seeing this movie, I can only speculate how much of its success is down to him, though the camerawork is generally very good indeed, the lighting is fine and the editing is sharp, and how much is down to the excellent cast, who deliver a good deal of energetic, fast moving fucking. It's strong while retaining a general absence of malice, which is good to see. Most of the tease scenes are fun if quite unoriginal in approach, but I was glad to see even just a tiny variation on prevailing trends. I'd be interested to see more from Danny Case - or is it David, as it says on the main menu? A varied, high-energy sex movie without the gimmicks would suit me better but Internal Cumbustion is a promising movie with a good deal more to offer a wider audience than the highly specific niche its title would suggest.

DVD Comments
The picture quality is sharp, the sound is clear and so on those counts it's a very solid product. It does look like it's been authored by the same company that does discs for other similar studios. The extras include a loop of the come shots, a photo gallery and best of all a very interesting Behind the Scenes clip that takes in some more tease, some chat and some photo shoot coverage. I'd guess that the state of the art would now demand a bonus scene or extra sex footage, but this Behind the Scenes is a good 20 minutes plus clip with slightly better chat than the usual, so it's well worth a peep.
