While I'm glad "Extreme Public Adventures" was filmed in L.A. rather than Baltimore, I still think the sight of Elizabeth Darling flashing her way down the street is every bit as dangerous as what you might find in "The Wire."
Extreme Public Adventures
Studio: Teasers
Director: Marc Star
Starring: Elizabeth Darling, Rebecca Blue, April O'Neil
Review by: Gram Ponante
Elizabeth Darling, Rebecca Blue, and April O'Neil each becomes accessible in her own way, and in a way different from appearances in other porn movies, in Teasers' "Extreme Public Adventures." The audience becomes invested in a way unfamiliar to them: Will these naked girls get in trouble?
As Darling walked across a Porn Valley street to masturbate in the front yard of an apartment complex, bathed in the late afternoon sun and buzzed by passing traffic, I felt a real sense of danger unlike that which I feel on the worst porn sets; this was a woman who might just do anything.
Ditto when she sits outside, casually flashing, at a cafe on Ventura Boulevard. This is the sort of thing that might change the life of passersby.
Then she masturbates in front of the Hollywood sign, which takes some doing (I don't know if you've ever tried it, but you can actually be shot, as well as viewed by anyone in possession of a telescope in the city of Los Angeles, in addition to student groups at the nearby Griffith Observatory).
In fact, "Extreme Public Adventures" is a great alternative travel guide to Los Angeles (I felt similarly about the late David Aaron Clark's Koreatown-centric "Pure"). Not only does Darling make the Hollywood sign relevant again, but Rebecca Blue jills off by the side of the Los Angeles River.
And it's not the L.A. River we saw in "Grease" or "Terminator 2," but an L.A. River with actual water in it. And Blue-fluid.
Finally, the gangly and surgically incredible April O'Neil flashes at a cafe and masturbates in the stairway of what appears to be a Valley No-Tell Motel.
There is no penetration here, no lipstick lesbians, no gangbangs. Nothing that wouldn't be described as vanilla on an enclosed set. But by taking this outdoors and putting it (literally) in front of real people, "Extreme Public Adventures" becomes really fun, and Darling, Blue, and O'Neil get thrilling clips for their reels.
Altogether this DVD, comprised of footage from the site TeasersVOD, delivers a great snapshot of L.A. and the type of people you might meet here if you just went outside.
