A quick note on scene ratings - unlike many reviewers of different things who tend to rate "average" as 7/10. I rate average as 5/10, this makes 7/10 from me quite a bit above average, so bear this in mind.

None of these scenes feature condoms. Anything else notable will be mentioned by scene.

While I've noticed that a number of the other reviewers here were no fans of Kovi's run with Private's "Pirate" fetish line, I can't say that I've been especially impressed with the films of Suzi Medusa's that I've seen so far either. You'll forgive me if I don't even attempt to follow the "plot" What little I've seen of Susi Medusa's work so far has been uneven. She can shoot some decent workmanlike sex, but far too often fills an otherwise decent scene with too much in the way of props, checklist-activities and edits/cutaways which hurt the scene in order to "advance the (nonexistant) plot". Let's hope this one can be a bit better..

Scene 1:
Sandy Style, 3 guys.

Anal, DP, Facials.

3 Motorcycles pull up into a dimly-lit garage. Sandy rides pillion on the back of the lead biker's machine. He's an actor who I recognise from other Private productons, but I can't pick his name today. He also appears to be wearing a woman's long black wig which just looks foolish and very very fake. On top of this, his fingernails are painted black. Sandy, dressed all in white has her hair in a two-tone look which I don't find attractive - bleached blonde and black, worn in pigtails. She gets off the bike and then does a kind of shuffling table dance on top of a nearby desk while the music sounds like a poor ripoff of the Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up". Oh, and a fire is inexplicably blazing in the foreground for some reason. It's as bad as it sounds.

Suddenly the Prodigy music stops and Sandy in kneeling between two cocks. Ah, back to normal in pornoland. As she blows two of the guys, a third, bald guy eats her out. With their black fingerless gloves, painted fingernails, spotless shiny leather pants and neatly -shaved balls, these guys seem to have more in common with Mr.Slave or the lads from The Blue Oyster Bar from Police Academy than any biker I've known.

Soon someone is sodomizing Sandy as she continues to lay on her back sucking on the other two penises. A cut and she's riding cowgirl for a few seconds before being DPed, as we see only the boy's 'nads and cocks peeking through their unzippered section of leather pant. The sound appears to be dubbed as is often the practice of Italian films, but since the dialogue is nothing but an endless loop of "ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, oooh, oooh, ohhh, ohhh", even when Sandy's mouth is full, we're not going to miss anything important. Soon the third guy is active again, as he plugs his dick into Sandy's mouth while she's in the DP position. Then a cut removes the guy that was under her in her pussy, leaving the guy fucking her doggy in the ass and the guy in her mouth. We cut again to Sandy squatting and rubbing herself ad the guys walk up to her and jerk off onto her face, one at a time.

Aside from the standard-for-Private style 3-on-1 sex, the costumes and camerawork lacked heat or interest. Gottardi's practice of squashing a 16:9 shot into a 4:3 frame (squeezing a widescreen shot into a normal-tv sized picture) makes the sex even less something the viewer can relate to.

There's some really bad "plot" inbetween the scenes. There's a variation on a ouija board, half naked women, occultish stuff, and, well, it's just really bad. Krystal De Boor licks a tarot card at one point.

Scene 2:
Krystal De Boor, some older guy.

Anal, Facial.

Krystal wears shiny black pvc or patent leather gloves that come up past her elbow, a g-string made of the same material, and a silky red top. She has a very pretty face framed by red-blonde hair. Her body is covered by her outfit though. She's laying on the ground, amongst the Tarot cards until we see a guy's Doc Marten boot which she licks. It's the old guy, who speaks with a rough, English voice. Krystal on the other hand, seems to be playing a mute sex-nymph. She sucks his litle finger, then his hand, and eventually, his cock. Soon they cut to spoon, and we can see that Krystal's body looks nice and features largish natural breasts with huge aerolae. After a cutaway I noticed he was in her butt and had no idea how long it'd been there, so they made the transition without even an insertion shot. The closeup however leaves little to the imagination. After the extended spoon, there's a very brief anal doggy and then she's jerking his weak load onto her face. After the sex, he leaves a tarot card on her breast while she smiles evilly, while spooooky music plays in the background.

Don't get me wrong here, Krystal is very attractive but the scene just reeks of stupid. Lack of variety in positions and average camerawork also let it down.

Scene 3:
Jessica Fiorentino, 2 guys.

Anal, DP, Facials.

Jessica plays with a pistol while 2 biker boys wander around in a house and up the stairs. She pistol-whips one, knocking him out and waits till his partner comesup the stairs, whence she captures him and of course forces him onto a bed and sucks his dick. She has long dark hair pulled back, fingerless gloves with black nailpolish, and a long shiny PVC coat. Oh, and she's wearing safety pins for earrings. We're still subjected to the same spooky music from the preceding scene for some reason. She undoes the pants of the guy she KO'ed and starts sucking his dick, too. As the other guy wakes up she takes off the long coat and reveals a black PVC skirt and see-through mesh top, with black fishnets. Shelays on the bed and sucks the first guy off while KO guy eats her pussy out then fingers her asshole. A quick 30-second shot of one of the guys fucking her ass while she sucks dick cuts again to Jessica getting DPed in the cowgirl position. Then we cut to her laying on her back and groaning like a zombie movie as both guys dump their loads on her face.

Again, Jessica is attractive, but the scene is just so cold and uninteresting that it's not arousing. Other filmmakers like Michael Ninn who lack a lot of heat between their performers make up for it with a strong artistic style. Gottardi lacks a strong enough style to make her cold sex arousing.

Scene 4:
Lucy Lee, Tina, Wigman.

Strap-on, DP, Anal, A2OGM, A2P, Cumshot in mouth.

This scene opens with Lucy Lees in fishnets and garter sitting almost on the face of "Tina". I say almost, because Tina is busily smoking a cigarette and blowing smoke at Lucy's pussy, while wearing sunglasses and a black officer's-style double-peaked cap. Wig -guy sits in his red robe in the background, puffing on a cigar. I guess that's a few more things that can now be ticked off on the generic fetish movie checklist.. Lucy also seems to be wearing a strap-on, ut it's hard to tell with the poor quality framing. Lucy fingers herself and puts her fingers in Tina's mouth, in what's apparently an attempt to give herself cervical cancer. Sorry, I just don't find this erotic at all. What's the opposite of erotic? Shit? That'll do. It goes on for way too long.

Finally, Tina sucks on wig-man's penis while Lucy sucks on the top of his staff, before moving onto his feet and toes for awhile. Eventually both girls suck his dick as he puffs away on his cigar and blows smoke down at the girls. Yep, this is the "smoking fetish" scene. Lucy briefly sucks Tina's strapon, but at least that's cut short as we cut to the DP-in-progress. Tina's plastic phallus in Lucy's pussy and Wigman pumping away in her butt, doggystyle. That's something that could have been quite watchable if it were in a scene that was otherwise decent. You don't get to see a lot of that. Perhaps sensing innovation and the dangers of it, we quickly cut away to Lucy sucking Wigman's dick and then inserting it up Tina's asshole in the cowgirl position, which comes with a few rounds of A2OGM.

Cut to Lucy's RAC insertion shot, A2P. Cut to Tina getting analled missionary and Lucy doing A2OGM, Tina gets some A2P, and some more A2OGM leads to a cumshot mostly in Lucy's mouth. Afterwards the girls lay around, lightly tied up with tissues (!) in their mouths while Sandy Style comes back with a briefcase.

Damn, I like Lucy Lee. This though, is a LL scene I'll be glad to never see again, despite the several seconds of interesting guy/g/g DP.

Scene 5:
Sandy Style, Guy.

Anal, Facial.

This time Sandy wears a black bandanna, corset, leather jacket and stockings. Oh, and that stupid fake-looking nose ring. The guy she's fondling suddenly becomes tied up, and she sucks on his tongue while playing with her pussy. She licks his fingers, then sucks his dick. Then she's suddenly bouncing on his cock in RAC. Then she's bent over the chair and he's licking her asshole. Than fucking her asshole. Then she's standing on him in her spike heels. Then she's slapping his ass. Then he comes on her face. um.. ok.

Sandy actually looked good here, except for the stupid earring. The scene, however was like a crappy porn montage. Just cut, cut, cut with no feeling of transition at all.

Scene 6:(?)
Sandy Style, Jessica Fiorentino.

g/g.

Sandy Style looks reasonably good here, laying back on the bonnet of a black car. She's wearing black leather pants and boots, a corset, see-through top showing her breasts, leather jacket, and a pair of yellow sunglasses. Some guy wanders over and starts to grope her, he's ambushed by a redhead who looked like a guy at first and a hippy second. It's Jessica, wearing red leather pants red sunglasses to go with her blackleahter jacket and looking pretty good here. She duct tapes the guy's mouth shot and bundles him into the car, and then starts making out with Sandy, licking her pussy and fingering her thanks to the fuck-zipper that these pants have. Then Jessica KOs Sandy for some reason and throws her to the ground. She opens up the ouija-thing from before. We see wig-guy standing in the woods (or vineyard) intercut with a wolf, Sandy wakes up, a catfight ensues, and then two bare-chested, hooded guys show up in a land rovers and bundle the girls away in a pretty fucked-up abduction scene..

That was just fucked up.

Scene 7:
Jessica Fiorentino.

Anal, Facial.

Jessica is left bound on her knees in front of Wigman by the two hooded guy. There's some bikes parked int he room. He slaps her down and we're treated to some really shitty overdubbed "plot". He undoes her binds, and then she sucks his dick. Of course! Doggy anal with gaping, anal cowgirl, anal missionary, standing anal doggy supported by one of the bikes, and finally she jerks an invisible load into her mouth as some spooky music plays. Sandy comes in and licks Jessica's sunglasses. Yeah, that makes sense.

I don't mind stating that Jessica looked hot here. Unfortunately the scene's context put me right off, and the scene was sub-par anyway. After the scene are proper cast credits, but I'm fucked if I care enough anout this movie to go back and give the male performers correct ID.
5/10

Well, this film simply does not stack up to Pirate's earlier efforts by Tanya Hyde or Frank Thring (who is himself very uneven in his quality). There's some good looking women in this one, but they're just wasted in this. Gottardi seems more interested in checking off the "fetish" boxes as we move from scene to scene, the use of poor-quality "scary" music did add atmosphere, but not the kind of atmosphere one usually wants to see in a porn film and just helped to further drain what little heat the performances had. Unless you're already a fan of Suzi Medusa Gottardi, this is one to avoid.
