Synopsis:
Search and Destroy is an all sex film where males, in commando style, enter the domiciles of females and proceed to have sex with them.

Audio/Video:
Search and Destroy is presented with an English 2.0 Stereo track, which works just fine for the material being presented here. Since 98 percent of the film is sex scenes and only two percent of the film is dialog, there is no need for any kind of fancy audio tracks. The dialog is clear and easy to hear at all times during the film. Digital Sin hasn't included any foreign language tracks or subtitle options and no understanding of the English language is required to enjoy the film.

Search and Destroy is presented in the full screen aspect ratio of 1.33:1, which appears to be the original aspect ratio for the film. This print is in great shape with a crystal clear picture that doesn't exhibit any grain, artifacts or any other sort of blemish in the image. The color levels are correctly set for natural looking flesh tones.

Special Features:
Shane's World has included a few extras on the disc for your continued enjoyment. There is a photo gallery, containing 39 stills on a track. There are cast bios for Taylor Rain, Judy Star, Brittney Foster, Austin O'Reilly, Hunter Young, Mark Davis, Mark Ashley, Pat Myne, Slim Shady, and Joey, which contain a picture along with a Shane's World filmography and some general useless information. There is a 17 minute bonus sex scene, which is a very long POV blow job. There are also trailers on the disc for Shane's World 31: The Life and Times of Drunky the Bear and Shane's World 6: Slumber Party.

Navigation:
There are seven chapters available from the main menu for Search and Destroy. They are identified by a video clip from the scene that the chapter goes to. Given the style of the film, the available chapters are acceptable for navigation. There is a time code encoded on the disc for the feature film.

General Review:
Shane's World has launched a new series with this release, Search and Destroy, which promises to have nastier sex than their previous series, which it does. The problem with the film is that the fun that is associated with the Shane's World productions is missing from this release. One of the aspects that I look for in a Shane's World release is the fun angle. The cast always looks like they are having fun and the situations are rather unique. Here, both of those aspects are missing. The general feeling of fun from the cast isn't present and the unique situations are gone, replaced with a more typical porn type filler.

In between the sex scenes, you see the male stars running around dressed like S.W.A.T. members and other commando looking costumes into the homes of the stars. The end result of this change of format is that the film ends up looking a lot like everything else currently available on the market. I hope that in future volumes of this series, they bring back some of the fun aspects that has made Shane's World what it is today.

As previously stated, the sex is nastier than in earlier Shane's World releases which eliminates viewers that like only tame sex. The sex doesn't get nasty enough to satiate fans of really nasty sex leaving only the viewers in the middle. The sexual themes in the film are oral, vaginal and anal sex with anilingus, female masturbation, pussy fingering, anal fingering, double oral penetration, male masturbation, gaping, P2M, and A2M. For viewers that care about condom use, there are no condoms used in the film.

The Scenes:
The first scene brings us Taylor Rain with Joey Ray and Pat Myne for a scene that starts out with Taylor masturbating. The scene then goes into a pussy eating, blow job and anilingus combo before heading into a vaginal sex and blow job combo. The scene then goes into a blow job and double oral penetration before going back to the vaginal sex. The second scene brings us Hunter Young and Slim Shady and starts out with Hunter masturbating. The scene then goes into a blow job before going into some pussy eating. After the pussy eating there is a reprise of the blow job before going into the vaginal sex.

The third scene gives us Judy Star and Mark Ashley which starts out with some pussy eating before going into the blow job. The scene then goes to the vaginal sex before going into some anal sex for the conclusion. The fourth scene brings us Austin O'Reilly with Mark Davis for a scene that starts out with Austin masturbating before Mark comes on the scene and she gives him a blow job. Then there is some anilingus before the scene goes into anal sex for the conclusion.

The fifth and final scene brings us Brittney Foster with Pat Myne which starts out with Brittney masturbating before Pat eats her pussy for a little while. Brittney reciprocates and gives Pat a blow job before the scene goes into the vaginal sex. The scene and the film conclude with some anal sex.

Parting Thoughts:
Search and Destroy is a decent film which has slightly nastier sex than what a Shane's World production usually has to offer. The biggest problem with this release is the fun usually contained in the Shane's World releases isn't present here and it is missed. Fans of tame sex will probably find the sex here to heavy for them whereas fans of really nasty sex probably won't find the sex intense enough for them. If you are a fan of previous Shane's World releases, I'd recommend a rental before a purchase to make sure this film is right for you.
