Review 1
Director extraordinaire Kristen Bjorn returns to familiar territory, the jungles of South America, to tell the tale of studs on both sides of the drug war. In Bjorn's vision, the mercenaries deployed to hunt down the drug lords and their minions are every bit as muscular, studly and horny as the drug lords (and the minions aren't so bad, either). Even for a talented director like Bjorn, this is a mammoth, beautifully realized production. "ParaShooter" easily makes my top-five list for the year, and it is one of Bjorn's best ever, hands down -- and considering his impressive body of work, that's saying something.
The scenes are intercut so that the action doesn't start and stop with one group or pair before moving to the next, making the format much more interesting. The editing is flawless, with smoothly executed transitions and multiple shots of the action, with not one inch of the performers' bodies left out of the final product, and the photography is lush, colorful and always perfectly lit.
"ParaShooter" opens with a view of the jungle, a cloud of fog rising as the dark silhouette of a parachute descends. On the floor of the jungle, two mercenaries, Jed Willcox and David Barthory, walk along a path, their fatigue shirts open, revealing their impressively buff chests. Jed's muscles are as hairy as David's are smooth, and both have thick, uncut dicks, which are glimpsed when they stop for a pee break. Jed and David begin to kiss as soon as their call of nature is satisfied and David drops to his knees to suck Jed's cock and to play with its rubbery foreskin. They barely pause when Jed receives a radio call from two mercenaries, played by handsome Roberto Giorgio and drop-dead gorgeous Jason Kingsley. David brings Jed to orgasm, stroking out his cum as Jed grimaces and flexes his hairy six-pack. Then they move to a nearby rock, and David tongue-fucks Jed's gorgeous ass. David plunges his cock into Jed and fucks until Jed loses it yet again, this time bringing himself to orgasm with his hand.
The scene fades into a deeper part of the jungle, where two of the drug plantation workers, Rafael Alencar and Luis Alonso, put down their long, dangerous-looking machetes to play with their long, dangerous-looking uncut dicks. Rafael, whose endowment is justly legendary, produces an almost immediate cum-shot, blasting it all over the side of Luis' close-cropped beard, and then Rafael cleans most of it off with his tongue. Luis (who has a round, smooth, voluptuous ass) then greedily backs himself up on Rafael's huge erection. Maybe some guys would have trouble taking it all, but Luis seems to crave more, making the two studs perfectly matched.
While Luis and Rafael continue their coupling, the action moves to Roberto and Jason, who happen upon a scene in a stone hot tub that stops them dead in their tracks (and gives them instant bulges in their fatigues). Five hotties -- Edu Boxer, Huessein, Bruno Carrosa, Tadeu Novais, Ricky Martinez -- are cavorting in the tub, with Edu the obvious center of attention. Edu samples all of the cocks and brings all but Huessein to orgasm as they perch on the side of the tub as he floats in the water, moving from one to the other with ease. Huessein, a short, hairy, muscular fireplug, and Tadeu, a bulky, brown he-man, provide a lot of the eye candy for the ensuing action. Edu continues to be the lucky dog, with the others holding him afloat and passing him around like a platter of hors d'oeuvres. They sample his uncut dick and lick his erect nipples until Edu shoots his load.
Watching this orgy incites Roberto and Jason, and Roberto sinks to his knees, unzips Jason's fly, and releases his erection. Not only is Jason gifted with a very buff physique, his dick is huge, with low-hanging balls below that swing as Robert mouths him. Jason gives Roberto a big facial cum-shot when he climaxes.
The five hot tub studs move to another venue, an outdoor patio, for the next part of the orgy. Edu and Tadeu tag-team rim Bruno's furry butthole, and Huessein does the same for Ricky. Bruno is impressively agile, and he manages to spread his legs so high and wide that Edu and Tadeu have no trouble sharing his ass. Right beside them, Ricky shoots a huge load of cum as Huessein tongue-fucks him. Tadeu then fucks Bruno missionary as Huessein fucks Ricky from behind. Edu jerks off, cumming as he watches the action, and then Bruno creams as Tadeu is still thrusting deep into his ass. They move to yet another setting, this time indoors, where Edu pulls a kind of sexual Cirque du Soleil act with Tadeu. Edu enters, stands on his hands, and then Tadeu lifts him with his powerful arms and holds the dude at exactly the right level for an upright 69 (I told you Tadeu was a he-man). As Edu and Tadeu suck each other in this difficult and athletic position, Bruno does his best to tongue Edu's hole. Nearby, Huessein squats over Ricky's face and Ricky rims his ass (even so, Huessein looks on in amazement at the standing 69 going on next to them). As if to prove he's a real iron man (not that we need any more proof at this point), Tadeu reaches the brink of orgasm, and continues to hold Edu aloft, even as he's shooting his load. Again, the scene and the configuration changes, with all five men in a sort of cocksucking circle, ending with some huge loads all around. Still, the scene isn't over. Tadeu bottoms for both Edu and Huessein, and the image of these two smaller built hunks controlling the big man, taking turns thrusting into him both anally and orally as he moans with pleasure, is both erotic and unforgettable.
The drug lord, Victor Cowboy, arrives home in the following scene, and one of his macho workers, Daniel Santos, greets him. Victor leans against his black BMW as Daniel goes to work on his boss' cock, pulling on his own erection as he does so. Daniel cums, and then Victor erupts, too, his load splattering all over Daniel's face. Victor then asserts his dominion over his employee's ass, giving Daniel a tongue-fucking before he slides his cock inside. Daniel shoots as Victor is thrusting away at his ass, and then Victor pulls out and creams Daniel's butt. The scene ends with Daniel lapping at his own cum.
Then the scene switches back to Jed and David, the mercenaries from the first scene, who are still messing around with each other in the jungle. Jed rubs his erection against David's until he reaches orgasm, and then, as Jed begins to suck David again, Rafael and Luis appear. Jed grabs his radio to call for help, but he gets no response, because it just so happens at that exact time Roberto is lowering his scrumptious ass onto Jason's dick, so the radio is the last thing on his mind. Roberto is really amazing in this scene -- he fucks himself with Jason's cock, burying it deep and then pulling almost all the way off it without ever letting it slip out of his ass, exerting amazing leg strength and muscle control. Jason's face is a study of pure delight at Roberto's talents, and the two are so engaged with reaching earth-shaking orgasms that they don't notice when Daniel sneaks up on them, machete in hand.
Then it's back to Rafael and Luis, who lead Jed and David to a secluded spot where they can punish the intruders by fucking them to death, apparently. Jed, Rafael and David form a kind of daisy-chain sucking ladder, as Luis watches and jerks his dick to a climax, and then David loses it with his mouth stuffed full of Rafael's meat. The four pair up to fuck, with Luis taking David doggy as Rafael rams his cock into Jed sidesaddle. Luis shoots his load, hands-free, and then David leaves a gooey wad of cum on Luis' ass. Jed and Rafael follow with their loads next, and the scene ends with the four former adversaries kissing and basking in the afterglow.
All kinds of surprises await deep in the jungle, but when Norbert Somlay and Octavio Fuentes spot naked fisherman Pietro Rosselli (well, he is wearing thigh-high rubber wading boots), the two can hardly believe their eyes. Neither could I -- Pietro is one of the most amazing specimens of manhood ever, with a body like Michelangelo's David and a Roman profile reminiscent of classical art. The following action is one of the hottest, most cum-soaked three-ways ever filmed. Norbert and Octavio double-team Pietro right in the stream, sucking his erection and tonguing his perfect ass until he shoots his load. Then the three move to a clearing in the jungle, and Pietro gets on his knees to service both of the other guy's raging erections. Norbert and Octavio both have ample foreskins, and they get in some docking as Pietro tongues their joined cocks. The scene ends with a three-way volley of cum-shots, with Norbert and Octavio shooting all over Pietro. Norbert's ultra-thick cock then spears Pietro's ass as Pietro sucks Octavio. Pietro and Norbert both cum again, and then Pietro fucks Octavio as Norbert feeds his dick to Pietro and Octavio in turns. Again, huge cum-shots feature in this part of the scene. In the next part of the scene, Octavio and Pietro's asses, wet with the downpour from an outdoor shower, and looking even more enticing, are plundered by Norbert's fingers and tongue, and then the three move to a bed in the middle of the jungle for the big finale, with Norbert getting fucked by Octavio from behind as he blows Pietro. Octavio, his brow in a sweat, pulls out of Norbert's ass and cums, and then Norbert strokes Pietro to a huge cum-shot, ending this thrilling three-way.
Meanwhile, Daniel has brought Roberto and Jason, stark naked, back to the drug lord's house. For the crime of spying, the two are forced to suck the drug lord and his servant until they both shoot all over Roberto and Jason's chests (and once again, not so bad, really). Then Victor and Daniel lay Roberto and Jason flat on a table and tease their asses with their tongues until Roberto cums. Next, Victor fucks Jason's sweet ass as Daniel fucks Roberto. Bjorn captures this side-by-side fuck in a stunning overhead camera shot, and Jason provides a breathtaking cum-shot as this part of the group scene fades. The next part of the scene takes place with a brilliant blue swimming pool in the background, and as Jason fucks Victor from behind, Victor sucks Daniel and Roberto rubs his erection against Jason's perfect ass and then teases Jason's hole with his tongue. Jason's cum-shot, which ends the scene, is another winner.
The last sequence involves a stranded parachuter, played by Max Veneziano. Poor Max is trapped when his chute catches in a tree. His pals Henrik Toth and Sergio Del Castillo search for him, but another stud, Paulão Do Picão, finds Max. Paulão, a dark-skinned hunk with a thick black goatee, knows a good opportunity when he sees one. Instead of cutting Max down immediately, he unzips Max's flight suit and goes down on him. Max is not at all averse to this treatment (not that he really has a choice, anyway) and Paulão coaxes a big orgasm from Max in very short order. Paulão then raises his machete threateningly -- but relax, it's only to cut Max's parachute straps away so that he can fuck him. But first, Max goes down on Paulão, bringing his meaty dick to full, hard erection and a huge cum-shot. Max looks incredibly sexy, his flight suit still unzipped to the crotch, his own massive member reaching for the skies, as he sucks Paulão's enormous dick.
A sudden rainstorm delays Max's search party, and Henrik and Sergio find cover and use the time to find sexual release of their own. Henrik gives Sergio a hand-job, and then Henrik sits in a chair, his legs raised high, enticing Sergio with the sight of his furry, exposed asshole. Sergio takes the bait, kneeling and diving in with his tongue. Henrik jerks off, shooting a load as Sergio tongue-fucks him. It has long since stopped raining, and the two hunks could be back on the trail of their missing comrade, but the urge to merge is too great. Sergio sits on a bench and waves his dick at Henrik, who impales himself on it and rides as Sergio gives him a reach-around stroke. Henrik cums as Sergio thrusts hard into him from below.
Max and Paulão, meanwhile, are turning up the heat in their part of the rain forest, with Max's ass and balls getting heavy tongue action from Paulão. It's pretty impressive, watching Max's tight ass swallow up all of Paulão's huge cock, but Max does it easily, and he strokes his dick to orgasm with his ass full to bursting. Then Paulão pulls out and jerks off, eating off the load he sprays onto Max's ass.
Henrik and Sergio find the two just as they are cumming, and Paulão raises his machete again, but Max (who's still bent over in fucking position) calls out to his buddies, telling Paulão that it's okay, they're friends. Very good friends, Paulão soon finds out, as Sergio immediately sucks Paulão's huge cock as Max sucks Henrik and Henrik gets down on Sergio's erection. Paulão sprays down Sergio's pumped-up pecs with his load, and then the other three shoot in succession, ending with Henrik giving Max a facial.
The finale is a fuck scene with Max invading Henrik's ass as Henrik sucks Sergio. Paulão stands behind Max and Max adeptly manages to jerk Paulão off and fuck Henrik at the same time. Then Max evacuates Henrik's ass so that Paulão can fuck it. As the light fades in the jungle around them, Paulão cums, then Max, and then Sergio, and the scene ends.
*** Highly, Highly Recommended ***

Review 2
Fog hovers like pea soup over the coca plantations hidden in the South American jungle, as mercenaries parachute into the mist. Their task is to keep an eye on the crop, but their collective eye proves to be a wandering one, in Kristen Bjorn's PARASHOOTER.
Soldiers Jed Willcox and David Barthory need to piss as soon as they hit ground, but when they shake it more than three times, you know something else is in the wind. Barthory sucks Willcox to climax then rims and fucks him to a second climax.
Elsewhere in the jungle, growers Rafael Alencar and Luis Alonso are hacking their way through the undergrowth with machetes. Once there's room to maneuver, Alonso demonstrates his oral talents. The length and girth of Alencar's dick prove no impediment to Luis, who earns a faceful of Alencar's jizz, which they take turns licking up. Using a tree for support, Alencar fucks Luis, who says in Spanish, "My ass likes it" as they establish a rhythm of thrust and counter-thrust.
Soldiers Roberto Giorgio and blond Jason Kingsley detect signs of life through their binoculars: a villa with a hot tub in which five guys are having a party. Kingsley instantly gets a boner in his pants, which rivets the attention of Roberto.
Before we see how Roberto handles that situation, we visit the villa. Four men sit on the edge of the tub while Edu Boxer, who is in the water, services them orally. After he brings them to orgasm, they jump in, cradle him in their arms, spin him around and take turns stimulating every part of his body to bring him to orgasm.
While they dry off and relocate, the camera updates us on Roberto, who has struck while opportunity was hot and earned himself a face full of spooge. The hot tubbers, meanwhile, are reveling in each other's bodies (three furry, two smooth). Perhaps no one has mastered the art of the orgy as well as Kristen Bjorn. The lovemaking is fluid and sensuous; he is the Cirque du Soleil of porn. His sexual choreography is inventive, and each model gets his opportunity to shine. Boxer performs a handstand, only to be hoisted bodily into the air when his ass proves a red flag not to be ignored; that maneuver leaves his face in another man's crotch. The two smooth youngsters, Bruno Carrosa and Ricky Martinez, end up together in an energetic sit-fuck.
The sex goes on and on. Giorgio, his appetite whetted by the jism dripping down his cheek, enjoys a lusty lap dance on Kingsley, who appears delirious with pleasure despite Roberto doing all the work. Kingsley's climax demands repeated viewing; it is nearly endless, his cock pumping out a river of cum.
Daniel Santos, who manages a plantation for Victor Cowboy, steals the show from his 20 costars with his tight furry torso and sensuous lips. After his two-part scene with Victor he reappears later when he and Victor make sexual prisoners of Giorgio and Kingsley.
Second-handsomest man in the world Pietro Rosselli appears in a bonus scene, available only in the mail-order version. Wearing thigh-high waders, he is fishing in the river. Soldiers Norbert Somlay and Octavio Fuentes watch him, imagining he is naked (he keeps the boots on) and hard. A three-way ensues, some of which transpires in the river and some on land before moving to a lovely stone-walled shower with a deep basin then to a huge outdoor bed.
The film concludes with a four-way, beginning when Max Veneziano gets hung in a tree when parachuting into the jungle. He is discovered by dark-skinned giant Paulão Do Picão, who takes advantage of Max's helplessness by helping himself to a blow job before cutting Max down to reciprocate. Two other soldiers, Henrik Toth and Sergio Del Castillo, join them, and they leave a trail of semen across the jungle like Hansel scattering breadcrumbs.
PARASHOOTER is Bjorn at his best, and possibly his finest work since 1998's Man Watcher. The cast is an international amalgam of models whose chemistry is superior; even the somewhat aloof Max Veneziano really lets his hair down. There's the usual Bjorn soupçon of foot play, and a high percentage of the models are versatile. Get the mail-order version for the fisherman scene in which the three participants have such a good time you think they will never stop finding new places and new ways to connect.

"ParaShooter finds director Kristen Bjorn at the peak of his powers, back in the jungles of Latin America, where he first made a name for himself. This vibrantly photographed and incisively performed film opens with a breathtaking vista of the untamed terrain, shrouded in fog and the haunting image of a lone parachutist dropping out of the sky as a voice-over intones, "The mountainous regions of South America are lawless lands where drug lords rule and coca plantations flourish. Foreign mercenaries are dropped into the jungle on reconnaissance missions to monitor the clandestine operations..."
The nearly three-hour epic focuses mostly on these soldiers of fortune as they wander through one exotic location after another in this primal netherworld. There is little plot, only a situational premise that repeatedly shows how these men pass the time while on stakeout. (You can guess how.) And since most Bjorn aficionados know that he usually takes four days to shoot each scene, there are (more often than not) four sets of money shots delivered per sequence. In recent films, however, Bjorn has begun to intertwine scenes, mixing them together, ladling out only one set of pop shots at a time and thus heightening the titillation factor. (On the DVD, there are 24 separate episodes listed under scene selection.) This goes against all conventional wisdom about the structure of explicit films, but in the hands of this master, it seems a brilliant innovation. (As a result, there are over 60 money shots in the film, approximately one every three minutes.)
ParaShooter begins with two of these adventurers in cammies, boots and helmets (sleek Jed Willcox and hairy David Barthory),who stop to take a leak. And by the time they have finished, both are at erection. The first round of their coupling focuses on Willcox's oral and anal skills as he sucks, rims and plows into Barthory's solid ass in a rigorous doggie fuck. The action then neatly cuts to a pair of native coca harvesters nearby (lean, donkey-dicked Rafael Alencar and long-haired, stubble-bearded Luis Alonso, who proves to be the most insatiable sex pig of the film). The high-voltage action is enhanced by their raunch rap in Spanish, by Alonso's amazing deep-throat skills, by their cum-frosted, post-orgasmic kisses, and by Alencar's prodigious fucking as he sends Alonso over the top while plugged. These are not just sex pigs; they are wild boars.
The third and fourth scenes are also effortlessly interwoven. Another pair of mercenaries (fair-haired Jason Kingsley and popular international star, Robert Giorgio) are spying on a quintet of natives in an outdoor Jacuzzi where compact, hairy Edu Boxer is servicing his four companions (dark-skinned Tadeo Novais, hirsute, mononamed Huessein, and a pair of lean brunets, Ricky Martinez and Bruno Carrosa). Soon the novitiate Kingsley's erection is tenting his pants, and Giorgio is kneeling to teach him a thing or two. Next, each of the buddies gets his turn at Boxer's upright erection as he floats in the water. Everyone fires off his first round of spooge, and the action shifts to a patio where Martinez and Carrosa bottom for the other, then to a hallway where Novais picks up Boxer and flips him over into a vertical sixty-nine that has to be seen to be believed, and last to a staircase as Novais and Martinez give up their asses to the others.
Fifteen orgasms later, the action moves to the hacienda of a drug lord (handsome Victor Cowboy, whose tattoos drape his shoulders like epaulettes). He is serviced against the fender of his luxury car by his straw-hatted menial (cute, buff Daniel Santos). In time they move to a tiled patio against a Shangri-La-like vista, where Cowboy kisses, eats ass, and plows into (but does not blow) his willing servant.
Back in the jungle, Barthory is now giving Willcox a first-class blowjob. When they are caught in the act (post-orgasmic glow, actually), the two soldiers are taken prisoner by Alencar and Alonso as they attempt to make contact with Kingsley and Giorgio - who are far too busy enjoying a joyous squat fuck to answer their walkie-talkie. In striking parallel action, Santos, armed with a machete, sneaks up on Giorgio, who is riding Kingsley's upright shaft, and he takes them prisoner, too. The action then cuts back to a Barthory-Willcox-Alencar-Alonso fourway - a tower of cocksucking that segues into two bouts of powerhouse fucking. Alonso here reaffirms his pig-par-excellence status, demanding deep drilling and firing off a spectacular no-handed money shot while skewered.
In another part of this paradise - a rippling stream, the most beautiful location of the film - a lone fisherman (sultry Pietro Rosselli) with thigh-high rubber boots is enjoying what is reputedly man's favorite sport. But when he is joined by two hunky natives (Norbert Somlay, a/k/a Fred Fele or Ted Colunga, and Octavio Fuentes) he soon abandons his rod and reel. Knee-deep in the water, Somlay and Fuentes service him fore and aft, then adjourn to a jungle glade to fuck. Next, after a brief sojourn of some heavy-duty rimming in a shower, they end the scene on a big four-poster bed plopped in the middle of the forest. (And what a fantasy image that is!) Before the scene is over, all three have topped and bottomed with equal finesse.
At the drug lord's hacienda, Santos brings prisoners Kingsley and Giorgio back to bossman Cowboy, and thus begins the hottest scene of the film. The two paramilitary men are forced to suck the outlaws, and, boy, do they! (Just watch Kingsley discover deep-throating!) The oral action is simply atomic, and the heat rises even higher once the quartet moves onto a large slab of a dining table to fuck. Although the Giorgio-Santos coupling also sizzles, the camera (and the viewer) keeps the Kingsley-Cowboy match-up in primary focus. Kingsley throws his beefy legs into the air and welcomes Cowboy's invasion as if he were discovering a reason for living. (His ejaculation as he is deep-drilled double-time is the stuff wet dreams are made of.) Then they all move onto a patio, where Kinsley shifts gears and pistons Cowboy, who proves to be surprisingly versatile. All four are sensational, but Kingsley is unquestionably the find of the film.
The finaletto/finale finds another "parashooter" (that remarkable tattooed giant Max Venziano) dropping into the jungle and getting his chute caught in a tree, leaving him helpless and suspended in mid-air. That's where ebony-skinned Paulo Do Picao finds him and devours his ever-ready erection before cutting him down to plow into his granite glutes. (Watching Veneziano get stuck like a pig on a spit is memorable.) Cross-cut with this action, another pair of mercenaries (brunet Henrik Toth and crewcut Sergio Del Castillo) find shelter out of the rain to kiss, grope, rim, suck and fuck. In time, of course, the four get together for more sucking and fucking (with Toth the bottom of choice) before this lust-driven adventure is again enveloped in the fog that opened the film.
Space limitations prevent further rhapsodizing over ParaShooter, but you get the idea. It's not to be missed.
Rating: 4 stars.

Kristen Bjorn's latest brings 20 studs together in the mountainous regions of Central America. The light story revolves around soldiers who have been deployed to the remote parts of a lawless jungle to monitor the clandestine operations of flourishing drug lords. The lush foliage provides the perfect backdrop to huge amounts of sex. Bjorn experiments a little here with scene construction; not all of the sequences finish before giving way to another encounter, returning later for closure as they blend together and sometimes mesh into a larger group. This isn't distracting at all. Instead the technique creates anticipation that heightens arousal as the new scene takes over. It's impossible to quantify the amount of sex here; there are 14 "scenes" by typical standards, but within some of those there are as many as five sequences. Jed Willcox and David Barthory get things started, then Rafael Alencar brandishes his manhood in Luis Alonso's face. The first big group scene starts with Edu Boxer blowing Ricky Martinez, Huessein, Bruno Carrosa and Tadeu Novais in a hot tub. They shoot, return the favor by ganging up to pleasure Boxer, then go indoors for a lengthy exchange of sucking, rimming, and fucking that concludes with a sweet shot of a hard Martinez bouncing on Carrosa's pole. Pre-nom Best Group Scene. A few sequences later, Alencar and Alonso come across Willcox and Barthory in the jungle. The four join forces and end up switching partners. Up next, Norbert Somlay and Octavio Fuentes find Pietro Rosselli fishing in a stream, and quickly drop to their knees to double-team his cock and hole. This trio relocates three times for additional oral and anal configurations, and Somlay tops-rare for him. Pre-nom Best Threesome. It would take longer than the video to describe all the other wonderful sights and scenes here, the best of which include the huge cocks of Max Veneziano and Jason Kingsley, and two more foursomes-one with a beautiful bird's-eye angle that places the camera above the table where two studs get pounded, capturing every cock, thrust, and clenched ab in one shot. Pre-noms Best Director and Foreign Release.
Rating: 4.5 stars.
