Like a marriage between Brad Pitt's "Fight Club" and any martial arts movie, director Tom Bradford's "Legion of Vengeance" has a lot of homoerotic content, but unlike those other movies, it's not subtext. Two rival Eastern European fight clubs, each with equally handsome and well-built members, duke it out for the top spot (and the prize, an ornate sword), and as everyone knows, it's always fun to root for the underdog. The Big Kahunas in this case are the Black Crows, and there is absolutely no resemblance to the rock band of the same name. Their rivals, a group led by gorgeous Roberto Giorgio, meet and train (and suck and fuck) in a remote location in the countryside. It's a pretty easy existence: train, eat, sleep and fuck your teammates as often as possible.
Two guys show up and are escorted to their room by cute young hunk Erik Mikes. Tamas Esterhazy and Robert Petrik, the new guys, jump on Eric, and Tamas begins to lick his uncut dick while Robert lays a big kiss on him. They fall back on a nearby bed, and pretty soon each guy has had a chance to sample the others' dicks. Heavy-duty ass-play is next, as randy Robert finger-fucks Erik's tight, puckered, hairless asshole, which looks incredibly inviting. Tamas is the first to slide his dick inside Erik's tunnel, while Erik, on all-fours, sucks Robert. They show off their agility with creative positions that change frequently, and one of the best of these is Tamas fucking Erik as Erik and Robert 69. Then Erik sits on Robert's cock as he sucks Tamas, another great, erotic shot. Tamas is on his back for the finale of the scene, and he jerks Robert off as Erik sucks his cock. All three studs shoot impressively, and Tamas' taut torso is coated with Robert's load after he shoots, it literally drips off him.
After a workout montage that shows off the cast's lean, buff bodies, Roberto takes studly Daniel Kilmer aside for a little private training. Kilmer, whose left pec is covered with a huge tattoo, and Roberto, who is achingly handsome, are amazingly versatile in the scene, with each topping and bottoming with ease. Following a very hot kissing, sucking and rimming preliminary, Roberto and Daniel start tag-team fucking. It's almost as if Daniel gets even more turned on to fucking Roberto after Roberto has fucked him, but these two don't just change positions once -- they switch-fuck throughout the scene. It's really unusual for this to be the case in gay porn, and I loved it for its rarity and for the intensity of the two studs as they moved easily (and lustily) through the scene. Roberto kneels in front of Daniel and jerks him off, giving Daniel a knee-shaking orgasm that erupts all over Roberto's buff chest. Following the scene's theme of turnabout is fair play, Daniel then kneels before Roberto and Roberto unleashes his cum on Daniel.
Rick Bauer, Daniel Kilmer and Andras Dunai decide to burn off their extra adrenaline after their workout with a hot group session. The entire scene takes place outside, where they lose their martial arts robes and start by engaging in a daisy-chain, with Daniel getting sucked by muscle man Rick as the very-well-hung Andras sticks his tongue into Rick's bubble-butt. Rick then slides into Andras doggy and begins to plow his ass with rapid thrusts, and then Daniel straddles Andras and shoves his cock down Rick's throat, while Rick never misses a stroke. Then Rick reclines, spreads his legs wide, and Andras fucks him, and the view of Andras' huge meat spearing Rick's taut ass is unforgettable. Rick then gets fucked sidesaddle by Daniel, while he tries to swallow all of Andras' huge cock. The camera gets a couple of great shots of Rick's reamed-out asshole when Daniel pulls all the way out of it and then shoves his meat in again. Completing the circle, Daniel then fucks Andras as Andras jerks off to a huge climax. Daniel pulls out and spurts huge jets of cum that land on Andras' torso, followed by Rick, who loses it as Andras jerks him off.
Meanwhile, at the Black Crows' lair, kickboxing practice is going on, with four shirtless, muscular hunks working up a sweat. The sparring turns to sex, and tight, tanned Henrick Toth's body gleams as he sucks his sinewy teammate, Jeremy Sheldon. Arpad Majores, with his perfect chest and edible nipples, does the same for his teammate Mihaly Tolnay. Henrick is the standout in the scene, getting fucked by all three other guys in succession. His beautiful, tanned body is just amazing, with his torso muscles clearly defined and his muscular ass a willing target for every erection in the room. He looks amazing as he's sitting on Jeremy and riding his cock, but there are truly no bad angles of this handsome hunk. Henrick erupts as Arpad is fucking him, and his cum-shot is huge, drenching his side and lower belly. All of the other studs follow with their loads in quick succession, and Jeremy, in particular, produces a huge shot that leaves Henrick's defined pecs wet with cum.
It's the big rematch next, and the fight scenes are really quite effective, with the guys showing off their stuff and the camerawork and editing short and snappy, creating a believable arena feel (there's even a little fake blood thrown in). And, yes, the Black Crows are defeated. Hooray for our side!
In the next scene, another of my favorite Euro-bottoms, Norbert Somlay arrives at the training camp, and he almost immediately gets into a tussle with "tough guys" Otto Turai and Balazs Nadasdy. If these guys want to get into a "whose dick is bigger?" contest, they've definitely picked the wrong guy to compete with, because Norbert has one of the fattest, longest, juiciest cocks ever captured on film. Norbert does know how to get his man-- or men, as the case may be. He watches lustfully as both studs release their erections from their jeans, and then he sinks to his knees and sucks both studs in tandem. Balazs has a tight, hairless torso that tapers to a V, and Otto is a blue-eyed cutie with an enormous cock. Norbert's cock stays erect and throbbing while both of the other guys plumb the depths of his hole, first fingering it, then slamming their cocks into it. I just love watching a horse-hung bottom get fucked, and it's even better when that bottom is servicing two studs at once. In this scene, Norbert takes it in just about every way imaginable. Norbert shoots first, and then he continues to stroke his cum-covered dick as he watches Balazs blast off, followed by Otto, whose load covers Norbert's pec and nipple.
In the finale, Roberto's long-lost partner returns, played by the very studly David Bathory. After a bit of rejoicing upon his return (I would, too, this guy is just sex on a stick) the two are joined by Tamas, and all three quickly get naked. They seem to be into each other totally, and their foreplay is almost as hot as the actual sex. There's a lot of mouth, tongue and finger exploration, and Roberto and David have very pretty asses, with tight puckered holes and smooth tanned cheeks. At the end of the foreplay, all of the studs get into a pile of flesh, and the heat reaches a boiling point. Roberto gives up his hole to Tamas, whose torpedo-shaped dick slides easily all the way inside. While Tamas is fucking Roberto, David alternates between dangling his hardon into Roberto's mouth, jerking Roberto's erection, and kissing Roberto. Then Roberto and David 69 as Tamas slams into Roberto's shapely buns from behind. David gets some of Roberto's inviting ass, too, fucking him as Roberto deep-throats Tamas. David's fucking technique is great -- he pulls almost all the way out before thrusting deep inside again, and with a dick as long as his, the view is superb. It's also quite a sight when Roberto sits on David and David fucks him from below. They gather into a tight circle for the climax, kissing and jerking their dicks, and then Roberto shoots his load, while the other two stroke off and kiss. Roberto then takes over and jerks Tamas until he shoots his load. David goes last, his uncut meat releasing jets of cum across Roberto's taut stomach.
This is an excellent, beautifully photographed and expertly directed production. Rating: *** Highly Recommended ***

In Legion of Vengeance, two gangs are at war over a Samurai sword in an ornate ivory scabbard, which the Black Crows have stolen from its rightful owners. A bare-knuckle fight is arranged, with the winner to collect $10,000 and the sword, but the Black Crows rig the fight. So the losers turn to Roberto Giorgio.
Giorgio, known as "The Master," lives an all-male communal life in the country, with acolytes who meditate, practice martial arts and fuck each other. He harbors a secret wish for vengeance against the Black Crows, so he agrees to train Tamas Eszterhazy and Robert Petrick to defeat the Crows and retrieve the sword.
Erik Mikes, one of the acolytes, takes Robert and Tamas to their room and demonstrates how residents at the enclave satisfy their "other needs." His, which are specifically anal, are filled by Robert and Tamas after sucking all around. Robert cums enough for three.
The vigorous training session that's next will thrill viewers who like watching skimpily clothed, well developed bodies in action. Running, kick-boxing, calisthenics and rock-lifting give the cast ample opportunities to pump their muscles. It's a marvelous homoerotic ballet and visual flesh feast.
Giorgio, meanwhile, has sex with his personal attendant, Daniel Kilmer. Giorgio's body is in amazing condition; even hairless; it makes me want to learn new words to describe it. It's little wonder he's the model most American porn stars want to be in a film with. Kilmer, not to be ignored, has amazing abs himself. This scene develops into a flip-flop fuck with good close-ups and terrific chemistry between the models.
Martial arts practice is next on the agenda. The men wear two-piece silk outfits of orange or saffron. It greatly facilitates sex to have little to shed when you want to get naked fast, as Rick Bauer, Andras Dunai and Kilmer demonstrate after practice. Slender Dunai is the first model we see who has not waxed or clipped his torso. Kilmer gives Bauer love bites on his thighs and shoulders. Bauer, usually a bottom, tops Dunai then they trade and Rick bottoms. They fuck until dark, with Kilmer eventually topping Bauer and Dunai until the outdoor lights come on. It's called riding into the sunset.
Meanwhile, the Black Crows are preparing for a rematch. Their champion, Jeremy Sheldon, grabs his crotch and says fighting is not what will get him ready. Sparring partners Mihaly Tolnay, Arpad Majores and Henrick Toth are willing to accommodate him, although tall, pale Mihaly serves principally as eye candy and refrains from oral activities. Toth bottoms for all, making it a gang-bang.
At the rematch, Robert is victorious. But there is still no joy in Mudville, because the Black Crows do not return the sword. So Giorgio dispatches handsome Norbert Somlay to infiltrate the Crows, posing as a horny guy who needs to get fucked. Otto Turai and Balazs Nadasdy do the initiating. You don't expect a guy as big as Norbert to bottom, which makes the scene all the more successful, and Balazs contributes greatly to the visual appeal with his deep chest (unwaxed), narrow waist and conspicuous tan line. Left alone after sex, Norbert takes the sword. Legion of Vengeance has an ambitious plot for a film that relies on subtitles, but I was unprepared for the return of Giorgio's lost lover, David Bathory, whose mention earlier I thought was to add depth to Giorgio's character rather than being a subplot.
Eszterhazy is present when Bathory returns, so he's invited to partake in the reunion, in Roberto's bed. Giorgio may be topping onscreen these days, but he's still best when he bottoms, and here he has two cocks to satisfy him, which he utilizes to the fullest.
In an epilog, filmed against a burnished golden sunset, the sword is returned to its owners. Overall, Legion of Vengeance has cinematic appeal, right down to the warm and fuzzy final frame and the simple but ear-catching music. Daniel Kilmer shows a tender and attentive side I don't recall in previous films. In both his scenes, he maintains a continuous intimate connection with his partners, regardless of where the camera is fixed. Another good thing about Legion of Vengeance is that there is rimming — something often omitted with all-Eastern European casts.

If you like your plots as thick as your cocks, then this is the flick for you. Rival fight camps, kidnapped lovers, stolen relics—oh my! After getting creamed (not in the good way) in a backroom brawl, our two gorgeous heroes Robert Petrik and Tamas Eszterhazy seek out the tutelage of Master Roberto Giorgio and his minions to prepare for a rematch—it’s all very Fight Club meets Kill Bill meets...well, gay porn. There’s always time between workouts for passionate stress relief, most notably when red-haired lackey Erik Mikes gives the visitors a very warm and wet welcome. Giorgio is a definite standout; this brute-turned-softy is flawless and versatile as fuck. He made me wish I had a uterus so I could carry his lovechild. The other 11 guys blend together after a while, as they’re all extremely ripped with huge sheathed swords under their silky robes. This slickly produced, multiples-heavy film is a must. —HX

Hungarian director Tom Bradford's new film for Sarava Productions, is, to put simply, a knockout. Built on a sturdy screenplay, the handsomely filmed tale includes six equally arousing sex scenes, each one dripping wit sweat, adrenaline and testosterone. There is not a dud in the 15 man cast, and every one of them seems hungry for mansex to a degree rarely seen in Eastern European videos. In short, this is a championship event. LEGION OF VENGEANCE is another triumph for director Bradford, whose first effort, AMBASSADORS OF THE ICE, instantly established him as a major artist in adult films. Here as there, his cast is flawless, his sexual choreography inventive, his screenplay a neat melding of story and sex, and the camera work of his videographer Dennis Cameron exquisite.This is adult filmmaking at it's very best.
