Shane's World: Asian Vacation Review

Synopsis
Only two real complaints to begin with: (1) The fact that the tourists are Asian doesn't quite qualify this as an Asian Vacation...they are vacationing in Mexico, aren't they...okay, semantics I know - but the thought kept nagging at me! (2) Why do all these "shot on the run" vids have to white-out so many scenes? Haven't we the technology and talent to deal with natural light yet?

That said, lets continue: As in most Shane's work, if you aren't interested in the behind the scenes or a little back-story, you will not like this DVD. Think of this is as a travelogue with full-frontal nudity - and then some. The crew this time is comprised of some of the most comely Asian talent in the business and we are there as they fly to Mexico City and then tour by bus to Acapulco. Just the thought of traveling through Mexico with these lovelies had me sweating this release weeks before it dropped. The setup is a little back story introducing the sex...then the sex...then some more behind the scenes and another action scene. Fast forwarding to the sex scenes in a Shane DVD seems a little silly - you'd be missing half the flick...so don't bother renting or buying. If, however, you are like this reviewer and actually like a change of pace from wall-towall action, you will enjoy the interaction between these beautiful Asian Minxes and their escorts. The breakfast scene (I think its breakfast!) is fun and interesting, as is hearing their expectations of the upcoming trip

Scene 1
BAM! Right off, we get the gift of the awesomely adorable, incredibly sexy body of one of my faves - Lily Thai! Lily is a living example of proof that the the measure of a truly hot woman is how she looks sans make-up and casually dressed. Even in sweats, a tee and a baseball cap Lily's a stunner...been awhile since a lean, taut body like that has boasted such perfect and luscious breasts. She moans, dirty talks and "”Yeah...like that’s” her way through a fairly decent scene with the single-monikered "Jerry" in a hotel room...seems the two could barely wait to get their hands on each other. The scene also includes more of her famous squirting. I'm not as big a fan of this as many seem to be - and honestly at times I'd rather Lily just fuck...but she does do it with more appeal than most. This action is prefaced by a good amount of oral foreplay, and its nice to see a man lavishing her tits with affection, an act that is becoming rare in these days of multiple penetrations, spitting, slapping and merciless drilling of female performers. And even without the sexual gymnastics (okay, there is a little standing 69), this scene generates heat with its Missionary, Doggie, Spoon, Cowgirl and Reverse Cowgirl.

Scene 2
Charmane, the Glamour-girl of Asian sirens, proves that a true Diva is never scene without her make-up (and a stylish hat). No complaints from this reviewer - the woman is simply gorgeous. In the bush of Mexico, she does Mr. Marcus Doggie, Cowgirl, Reverse Cowgirl and Missionary-style. Marcus is ubiquitous at times, but very serviceable and at least he is not one of the new breed of male actors who seem to forget that 90% of the viewing audience is not here for them. Do your job and stop grandstanding, guys! Marcus can show ya how. And for his efforts he receives a great BJ with tons of hand-pumping (I like this aspect of BJs, but many will definitely not enjoy this if you like mouth-intensive sucking. After some standing sex, the duo gets down and dirty in what must've been a difficult shoot for Charmane...in the dirt and on the rocks with a man with a big cock!

Scene 3
Annie Cruz then takes on Jerry while touring the Mayan pyramids. Couldn't quite put my finger on why he didn't seem to sizzle as much in this scene as he did in the opening scene - but he does appear to be phoning it in. I found this distracting, as Annie is looking delectable and always brings some serious energy to a scene. Annie has been around a bit so I can't call her new...but she is new enough to still possess that genuine enthusiasm that always turns this reviewer into a drooling maniac. I've read one (or one hundred) too many starlets claim to be nymphos with huge sexual appetites, all the while performing with the intensity of a burnt-out 25 watt bulb. Annie has this look that is difficult to describe: she can appear cutesy at one moment and downright nasty the next...she looks like the girl your Mom wanted you to take to the prom, but in an instant can morph into the girl you really wanted to take to the prom, if you know what I mean. She goes from geek to sexpot in 0.5 seconds and can completely devour a dick with her voracious mouth and luscious lips...she does all this and more to Jerry, making me wonder just how intense this scene could've been with a more enthused actor

Scene 4
Now this is the scene that surprised me the most. Totally unaware ofLeili Koshi, I at first feared her to be another one of the scores of Asian performers coming out of the woodworks lately. The ones who look like Porcelain Goddesses and screw with all the passion of submarine animal washed up on Zuma Beach. Wrong! Leili not only looks great (wonderful, if purchased, breasts, great smile and a stupendous ass!), she fucks like a pro, with tons of fervor and tons of appealing squeals. Her High C is up there with Mariah Carey and she just plain looks good fucking. This is quite an acrobatic romp, with Marcus twirling her about his member while standing, sitting, while on one leg and then two – as if she were a rag doll. She takes it all well, laughing good-naturedly while orgasming up a storm; All this on deck of their rented yacht...a great scene for those who enjoy sex in plain view. Leili is new - at least to me - and seemed to have difficulty with Marcus's girth, but she is a trooper and continues to giggle as he forces it into her. Again, a refreshing change from the often pained expressions favored by the recent crop of today’s cock-decorations. I believe I have a new favorite in Leili, as this DVD led me to purposely seek out more of her work (and I was impressed with each performance).

Final Sex Scene
Charmane ends the DVD with a pretty good scene with Marcus. Again, she looks delectable as she approaches him poolside. This is a woman who was born for the bikini, with her finely formed breasts and tight stomach - however, she sometimes doesn't generate the heat that I'd like to see from her. Maybe thats her game...keeping you wondering, wanting more. Afterall, we have seen her sizzle before...but this scene didn't quite do it for me. Their pairing in the jungle was much better. Say whatever I may, she still looks so damn great impaled on Marcus that I find it difficult to complain. I especially enjoyed watching her perform another act not seen nearly enough in today's adult entertainment world. She sucks him completely from limp to hard. Very sexy a sight to observe!

The DVD
The DVD has some good extra footage, some interviews, and of course bios, trailers, etc. There is some loss of lighting quality occasionally, but it is minimal.

Summary
Understanding the caveat that this is hardly an all-sexing romp, I found this DVD highly enjoyable. I had anticipated this vid because of the casting, and they delivered (with the exception of one actor in a single scene, not bad by my count). Again, should you desire a chance to see behind the lens a bit, and to enjoy some great scenery, this is a good pick for you. I also found the sexing to be hot enough to satisfy most. The action is fairly straightforward, not too much pain, no degradation or "Helicopter sex," so the "hardcore with a capitol H crowd" will want to pass this one by. For the rest of us - a very good watch indeed! A little aside, for some truly inspiring stills shot while filming this movie, check out the galleries on the AVN site
