When it comes to guys and the ladies in their life, the question is always the same: are you a breast man? Leg man? Can't get enough of the tush? Or have similar sentimental feelings for the bush? Are you particular about the personality, or find yourself foolish for a stunning supermodel type? Anyway you like it, the erogenous attributes of the opposite sex can make for some incredibly erotic specialty titles within the adult industry. While most provocateurs of porn tend to combine all parts of proclivity into an amazing amalgamation of suck, fuck and buck, there has been a growing market for the specific sex part feature. From the rash of ass films to the bountiful breast bonanzas, smut peddlers know that fetish is a financial windfall, a way of micromanaging down the dirty stuff into easily recognizable and categorized concepts.

Evil Angel seems to be expert at such hyper-specified frig fests. Looking over some of the titles in their titanic catalog – Ass Worship 1 thru 6, Beautiful Girls 1 thru 17, Big Natural Tits 1 thru 12, Just Fuckin' - one derives the distinct impression that this home to such gonzo greats as Rocco Siffredi, Belladonna and Joey Silvera really get off on particular penchant cinema. They also know how to take hardcore to untold heights of heaviness. The company can now add Jonni Darkko to their list of able auteurs and Boob Bangers to their canon of crazy carnality. This is, without a doubt, one of the hottest, horniest and most heated sex scene extravaganzas to be released in 2005. Hopefully, Darkko and Evil Angel have a few more of these tantalizing tit flicks in the works. Men in love with mammaries will find their hands handling meat very quickly after watching these smoking shark sequences.

The DVD:
From a measure of sheer smut quantity alone, Boob Bangers is a classic, a totally entrancing, completely arousing work of stifling sexual heat. With each scene ranging in time from the 25 to 30 minute mark, and the massive amount of dick drilling dynamics involved, you definitely get a lot of bang for the buck. Add to this the tit-friendly format that spends a lot of time on the torso (and just like MXC's Guy LaDouche, the Dirge can easily say "ME LIKE!") and you've got a fantastic, fiery flesh feast. If you are fond of chest chumming, this is the aptly named movie for you. During each and every sequence, the couples stop their quackenbush to indulge in a little dong to dirty pillows partying, and the results are rip snorting. Indeed, instead of trying to track down every individual pump parameter these couples collect over the course of a scene, let's just list the lewdness, and spend some time trying to figure out what makes this seemingly similar slice of gonzo so great.

Scene 1: Tiffany, Alec Knight

Acts Performed: Cabaret, Tit Fucking, Cock Head Licking and Sucking, Blow Job, Doggy, Boob Play, Mish, Reverse Cowgirl, V to M, Face Fucking, Ball Action, Cowgirl, Boobly Oobly, $hot on Boobs x 2

One of the first things you notice is the lack of rapid editing. Darkko believes in the real life authenticity aspect of gonzo and he is more than happy to let certain sequences play out for untold lengths of loving. So when Tiffany tastes tool, she sucks it for a very long time. Same goes for Alec's plucking of poon. No matter when or how the pair are porking, Darkko's camera finds the perfect angle for sex sampling and lets the sequence play out. He is not in love with the extreme close-up, uses the flesh-filling confused lens sparingly (you know the kind, where you can barely make out what is happening because the framing is so flummoxing) and loves to focus on the passion between his paramours. He mixes POV with tripod properties, and always keeps the carnality front and center. So the initial thing we learn about Darkko and his ideals is that he's all about the sex, first and foremost. The rest of the adult film routine is secondary to him.

But it also takes a particular type of talent to really sell this stuff, to make us believe that the balling is authentic and not just affected for a paycheck. Tiffany, her fine red hair framing her fantastic tits, really gives us the impression that she is impassioned about this sex cycle. While Alec is really nothing more than a meat puppet (Darkko's camera does very little focusing on the fellows) he is a sweat slicked drilling machine by the time this scene is over. The chemistry is clearly visible between these performers and an atmosphere of eros practically pours out of the TV screen. If you are looking for an example of gonzo at its greatest, this preliminary sequence of Boob Bangers is a sensation (and guess what, it only gets better from here!). Score: 9.5 out of 10.

Scene 2: Missy, Brian Pumper
Acts Performed: Oily Cabaret, Masturbation, Blow Job, Tit Fucking, Doggy, Pile Driver, Cowgirl, Anal Fingering, Anal Reverse Cowgirl, Vagina Fingering, A to M, Gaping, Anal Pile Driver, $hot in Mouth, Spitting on Coffee Table, Smearing Tits with Jizz

Trading on the always tantalizing dynamic of a strong black man pounding the primness out of a petite white girl, this pairing of Missy and Brian is a barnburner. The couple copulates like full out fucking will be outlawed at any minute, and each actor seems completely fused to the other. If you watch closely, you can almost see the moment when both individuals lose themselves in the lust of the scene and simply let nature take over. From this moment on, we are no longer watching hardcore pornography (well, yes technically, we are. Don't get overly excited), but instead, this is what gonzo constantly strives for: the appearance of real life loving in the artificial arena of the adult film. Another classic coupling. Score: 9.5 out of 10.

Scene 3: Piper, Hailey Page, Mark Ashley
Acts Performed: Girl/Girl Boob Play, Cabaret, Ice Fun, Cold Tit Suckling, Dueling Head, Deep Throating with LOTS of Drool, Ball Action, Mish with Added Cunnilingus, Alternating V to M, Tit Fucking, Cowgirl with Added Salad Tossing, Reverse Cowgirl, Face Sitting, Duel Doggy, $hot on Tits and Face x 2

With two strikes against it to start with (same sex sequence converting into a 2 gal and a guy three way), Darkko has a deep karma canyon to climb out of to make this ménage work. Well, give the man a silver dollar, as he finds the facets that turn the usual static Sapphic situations steamy and the additional dude dynamic delightful. Of course is helps when you've got two gal pals like Piper and Hailey horning in on each other. These ladies love the lez and prove it with a dick stiffening sequence of sheer queer ribaldry. The minute Mark steps in, you anticipate a drop in the fuck fun, but instead, everything gets ratcheted up into the sex stratosphere.

What Darkko does so well here is capture the gradualness of the gratuity. Instead of ramming right into the insertion, we have long sequences of teasing and foreplay, luxuriant moments that other gonzo tends to avoid. But such a slow-mo style translates over into the porking as well. Instead of position after position after position, Darkko draws out his stump pumping, maximizing the amore for all to savor and enjoy. It is also interesting to note that his is one of two scenes in the set where the cameraman (Darkko? Someone else?) gets a chance to add his pop onto the performer(s) (the other offering is Scene 1). Must mean something mighty good is going on here. And thanks to the added fem-fleecing facet, we can even bump up the score to the perfected category. Score: 10 out of 10.

Scene 4:Misty, Mark Ashley
Acts Performed: Cabaret, Boob Play, Self Tit Oral Stimulation, Tit Fucking, Blow Job, Cunnilingus, Salad Tossing, Mish, Face Fucking, Doggy, V to M, Cowgirl with JPX Action, Reverse Cowgirl, Cunnilingus with Anal Fingering, Anal Butt Plugging, Anal Doggy, Spooning, $hot on Boobs

Less we forget that this title is all about the tits (not that the previous pilings are minus the mammary), Misty and Mark (in his second scene, the lucky schmuck) make the breast an integral part of the parameters here, a necessary aspect of all the aadvarking going on. There is so much tit teasing, so many scenes of nipple play and hooter humping that it's hard for a chest man like the Dirge to keep his "opinions" in his pants. As Boob Bangers continues on, it threatens to move into "too much of a good thing" territory. But it's to Darkko's credit that the scenes avoid sameness to offer up interesting takes on the terrific tool time being exhibited. Score: 9.5 out of 10.

Scene 5: Luccia, Matt Bixel
Acts Performed: Cabaret, Boob Licking, Masturbation, V to M, tit Fucking, Blow Job, Reverse Cowgirl, Spoon, Doggy, V to M, $hot on Tits

Luccia is an exotic looking babe from Brazil, and while most South American ladies are known for the ample and juicy junk in their trunk, Ms. L is blessed with a sumptuous pair of body balloons. Her fishnet cabaret alone, erect nipples peaking through the intricate fabric weave is enough to send most chest connoisseurs into fits of Onanism. But it only gets better from here. Matt makes a nice, normal accessory for all the Lucy loving and he helps bring out the best in her bawdiness. Looking like she simultaneously is ecstatic and enraged, our sassy Latina lassie really adds a great deal to this scene's sensuality. Knowing this full well, Darkko directs most of his camera attention on her ever-changing face. We really see the internal works of wantonness moving and grooving inside this horny honey. Score: 9.5 out of 10.

The Dirge will have to admit it – Boob Bangers really REALLY got him all hot and bothered. It was occasionally difficult to think straight, let alone avoid the consistent urge to purge some personal passion with the lovely lady wife. These are the highest scores ever given to scenes in a sex film by this critic, and there is a good reason why: director Darkko just knows how to get hardcore right. He does things that The Dirge absolutely HATES (letting the ladies stare at the camera, treating the men like non-entities) and yet our friendly fuck film reviewer really couldn't give a steamy shit. THIS IS FANTASTIC FUCKING ONSCREEN SEX, PERIOD. To pick on minor details, like the lack of anal (this is a breast title, after all) or the less than spectacular settings (one bedroom/living room looks like the next) is not necessary. Evil Angel has found yet another amazing auteur to lead their company to the top of the gonzo spectrum. Here's hoping that future installments of this title are as titillating as this initial offering.

The Video:
Another thing that Darkko does right is in his control of the visual aspects of Boob Bangers. The 1.33:1 full screen image is crisp, clean and very professional. Colors are nice and correct (meaning fleshtones are flawless and fresh) and there is a great deal of detail in the image. With always imaginative framing, excellent composition control and a delicate balance between lighting and loving, we end up with a near flawless looking DVD presentation.

The Audio:
Darkko also delivers in the aural attributes, mixing music with sex noise sequences sensationally for this film. Whenever the fucking begins, the drum and bass sounds fade away and we get wonderful, hiss-free ambient erotica. The only drawback is the occasional internal microphone muddle in the soundtrack. But again, this is not something worth sweating over. Besides, no one says anything all that important during the course of Boob Bangers.

The Extras:
There is good news and bad news when it comes to the added content for this DVD. On the negative end, there is really only one main bonus feature, although there is a cum shot menu, some filmographies and cast lists. On the positive, it is a 50 minute Behind the Scenes documentary which offers a combination of interview material, Making-Of moments, additional fuck footage and photo shoot scenarios. For almost an hour, we get to know Tiffany and Piper, Hailey and Luccia as they run through their hang-ups and dreams, desires and dislikes. We really get to understand these girls, that is, the ones that aren't too wrapped up in themselves and awkwardly insular when questioned (are you listening Tiff?). As for the backstage stuff, it's interesting to watch Darkko work with the camera, capturing the action in a very natural, non-obtrusive style. A good way to visualize this extra material is that each girl gets about 12 minutes – 4 for interview, 4 for photo shoot and 4 for watching them in action. While there should of or could have been more supplemental material here, this feature is very good indeed.

Final Thoughts:
One of the standards the Dirge uses when categorizing films for a "rating" under the DVD Talk system is to ask a series of questions. Depending on how they are answered, the choices get narrowed until a final decision is made. In the case of the coveted DVD Talk Collector Series tag, the query is "Is it possible to imagine a better version of this title?", taking into consideration aspects like sound and vision, content and overall effectiveness. When it comes to Boob Bangers, the answer is a resounding "NO!" This is about as perfect as porn gets. Therefore, the DVD Talk Collector Series is awarded to this title, and for those who are interested in such things, the Disco Dirge Peter Meter reads a shocking 9.5 out of 10 on the evaluation scale. Couples will truly enjoy the glorious gonzo here: it is rough, but nothing outrageous and really fires the romantic sparks. Therefore, a Cohabitation Certification is easily awarded. Jonni Darkko has truly outdone himself with this stellar skin sack offering. All men, but breast men, in particular will get a charge out of this thoroughly erotic experience.
