Synopsis:
In the second volume of Mark Anthony's International Booty series, he heads south of the border to the South American country of Brazil to capture some of their beauties at their most intimate.

Audio/Video:
The standard audio track for International Booty Volume 2 is an English 2.0 Stereo track which is more than adequate for the material being presented here. As there isn't anything except talking and sex dubbing, don't expect anything that sounds truly wonderful here. The dialog is clear and easy to hear at all times. There are no other language tracks present on the disc and no subtitle options available.

International Booty Volume 2 is presented in the full screen aspect ratio, 1.33:1, which is the original aspect ratio for the film. The picture here is about as good as you can get. The image is crisp, clear, and sharp. There aren't any artifacts or glitches present on this print and the color levels are set perfectly.

Special Features:
As far as extras go there isn't much this disc has to offer and even less that the average porn consumer will be interested in. There is a bonus sex scene, which lasts for 13 minutes and involves a transvestite. As a result, more viewers will probably be turned off by this scene than turned on. There is a photo gallery, which contains 40 stills on a track. Unfortunately, only 12 are sexual in nature and all the rest are fully clothed shots or shots of the beautiful Brazilian scenery. All About Mark Anthony is a short text biography on the star. And finally, web link contains the internet URL for the series.

Navigation:
There are six chapters available from the main menu for International Booty Volume 2. Each is identified by a video clip from the scene that they go to. There is one chapter per sex scene allowing for decent navigation through the disc. There is a time code encoded on the disc for the feature film.

General Review:
The second film in Mark Anthony's International Booty series is decent, but not without its share of problems. The first issue that I had with the film is the filming of it. Often during the sex the camera is way too close to the action for far too long. Viewers who like tons of extreme close ups of the genitals during sex scenes will be in sheer bliss though.

The cast looks good and brings some great energy to the film. The sex in the film is decent but way too often becomes formulaic, which can start to wear on you after a while. There is a heavy emphasis on anal sex in the film. Overall, the sex is relatively tame for the genre so the fans of really nasty sex will find this film to be disappointing. The sexual themes in the film are oral, vaginal and anal sex with anal fingering and DP. For viewers who care about such things, condoms were used in some scenes but not in others.

Unfortunately, the lovely Brazilian scenery is traded for cheap motel rooms. I can understand the use of a hotel room here and there, but for me part of the fun of seeing a film like this is seeing some sexual action outdoors.

Parting Thoughts:
The sex in the film, although formulaic, is decent and the cast looks great. The picture on this disc is beautiful and won't disappoint. Viewers who like tamer sex with an edge will get the most out of this film whereas viewers who like porn with a plot, really tame sex or really nasty sex will want to look elsewhere.
