Island Fever (Kristen Bjorn) Review

Reviewed by Joe Shaver  on  12/7/2002

The symptoms of Island Fever are: a rapid and uncontrollable swelling of the penis, an overwhelming desire to crawl through the screen and join the film’s participants, and a burning desire to watch the DVD again and again. The first of these symptoms can be alleviated by jacking-off as often as required. There is no cure for the remaining symptoms.

This—only the second of Bjorn’s hardcore films—finds him already at the top of his form. It’s all here: beautiful scenery, gorgeous men, no-hands cum shots, cocks erupting while handsome studs suck on their sides, superb photography and editing, porn elevated to the status of art.

As Braulio Duarte leaves his island home for the big city of Rio de Janeiro, he recalls the friends he is leaving behind. Primarily Gilson Monteiro—the cover model—who opens the film with a solo scene. After letting coconut milk cascade down his golden torso, he plays with himself allowing us to revel in his god-like beauty.

From the deck of the ship, Duarte sees two of his friends. Bjorn has chosen a secluded tropical setting for their sex scene. They are a beautiful twosome and we have the no-hands ejaculation that is to become one of Kristen’s trademarks. (While having his ass eaten, a hunk’s cock seems to shoot off untouched.) There is also the now famous cock eruption while the side is sucked. Of course, there are the multiple cum shots in the scene before moving to an idyllic beach for the fucking and more cum shots.

Duarte seeing two very muscular black guys carrying stalks of bananas walking along the shore leads to their scene. Spying a stableman with a horse they put the moves on him and he soon has their horse cocks to contend with. The highlight of the oral section is when the darker one cums in the mouth of his companion while he is being side-sucked by the stableman. The dark hunk then proceeds to fuck the stableman until both cum. Then they go at it again.

Waving goodbye to the island, Duarte remembers excursions into the rainforest with three of his friends. (Bjorn tells us that this was to be a foursome that included Duarte, but Braulio couldn’t make it for the shoot.) These three are truly gorgeous specimens of hunkhood and are obviously having a good time in these lush surroundings. Surely these are the Gods of the Rainforest. Jair Marinho—whom Bjorn underestimates as “very sexy”—is my favorite of these deities. He has a light sprinkling of chest hair as opposed to the hairless torsos of his compatriots. He sucks both of their cocks. The fucking scene takes place at night around a campfire where Jair is once again the center of attention as lucky Pierre. One of the studs then rides Jair’s cock bareback.

Finally, once again thinking of Gilson (who can forget him?) Duarte jacks off. We cross cut to Gilson lying in the surf. Both cum. As Duarte sails away, we see his cum floating back toward the island.

I can’t believe I let this one get away from me in the VHS version. I am therefore very pleased to have it reissued in DVD and brought to my attention. Don’t make my mistake by putting this one off!
