DVD  BREAKDOWN:

When I see clear plastic cases for a DVD Box I think: Class. I don’t have to suffer that chemical smell that most standard black DVD boxes exude. It also shows me that the studio/distributor behind the product cares. In this case, you have Kink.com the studio that helped start the BDSM boom in porn today showing that extra care for their brand.  The Main Menu contains “Play Feature”, “Scene Selection”, and “Special Features” as your options. You’ll hear intense menu music akin to a score from a thriller film accompanying your browsing of these menus. For the scene selection, you have the same musical theme of intense music while you choose between the three gangbang scenes. In Hardcore Gangbang volume 4 you have Aj Applegate, Lauren Phillips, and Marica Hase for a decent sized cast. The menus show signs of grit with ripped chain-link fences and concrete walls as the design facet. The Special Features menu is interesting as it contains a bio of Kink founder: Peter Acworth. This is something I’ve never before seen on a DVD’s special features before (bio of the owner).  You’ll find the cumshot recap in this special features menu as well.

OPENING STATEMENT:

I’ve been watching the Kink’s Gangbang line of films for over 6 years, both a loyal fan of Bound Gangbangs and Hardcore Gangbang. I have to say it’s going to be difficult not having this review look like a love letter to one of the most cutting-edge gangbang series that has been so good to me. But in this review, I’ll definitely tell you why these gangbang films should be in your rotation.  Every scene filmed for the websites has a unique theme based on a scripted fantasy of the female performer who is the focus of the fantasy. Five men were usually cast around this particular fantasy of the female performer along with the vision of a particular director. It all started with the Bound Gangbangs franchise and directors like Princess Donna that helped set the tone for Kink’s rough gangbang ventures.  I remember scenes from early back as 2011 catching my eye as almost as perturbing at first. Next thing you know a series which is perceived to solely offend actually got this reviewer into the culture of sex positivity and solidified the definition of safe words in rough sex scenes. At the time these terms were unfamiliar to me but because of the detailed interviews that humanize the performers, I was enlightened. These gangbangs also ignited an ember of motivation to actually join a membership site with an on-demand service back in 2013 and lead me here today giving you my honest opinion about a product I know all too well. If someone is daring enough to make this type of porn, studio or director, then I’ll be brave enough to support this type of porn.

 AJ APPLEGATE:

The scene starts off with the typical style of interview that fleshes out what will happen in the scene and what the performer is comfortable with. Here the discussion starts off with AJ simply being asked if she is ready today for the type of shoot she is about to partake in. AJ reveals this is her second time filming a gangbang showing experience in this type of scene. AJ Applegate then describes her fantasy of men dressed as clowns gangbanging her. This fantasy is derived from a fear of clowns and what better way to conquer a fear than through sexual empowerment. Plus AJ Applegate “loves to feel slutty” as she admits in this interview so a Kink gang bang is a perfect platform for her.

The do’s and don’ts are now being touched upon in the interview and for me are a part of the educational aspect of Kink’s gangbang films. You can learn a few things about your favorite performer’s sexual preferences as well as discover some things on your own about different fetishes.  One particular example is that AJ didn’t approve anal fingering of her asshole due to the possibility of cuts in the scene.  One of her do’s,  thank the porn heavens is the desired DP for this fan to watch. Claiming that she almost reached triple penetration in the previous gangbang that AJ was a part of, she hopes to top it with more extreme double penetrations in this current Hardcore Gangbang outing.  From where the cum is deposited to the definition of the safe words there’s no stone left unturned in terms of the performer’s boundaries and safety in a Hardcore Gangbang.

The actual scene starts off as AJ is playing a bank teller in what a bank would look like on a set in the Kink armory. Crude set pieces aside this fantasy potentially leads to a very hot takedown.  But for now, AJ is playing a character in a work environment that is about to be rudely interrupted. The clowns from AJ Applegate’s fantasy come dashing in to rob this bank with guns drawn ripping AJ out of her mundane day at work. The only thing missing from this chaotic heist is the Joker himself.

The takedown in this scene is a classic case of what a Kink gangbang is all about. Which is extreme, sudden, and chaotic. To more sensible viewers it may be a bit much but to those viewers who challenge themselves to an open-minded approach to fantasy fulfillment then you ’ll embark into a world of exclusively hot content from various directors under the umbrella of that infamous “K” logo. AJ Applegate’s theme may be a bit rough for viewers on the merit of an armed robbery alone but keep in mind the real roughness is in the type of athletic tumbling that goes on in the mayhem of the actual sex.

AJ’s mayhem is no different as her fantasy takes us on a different turn. We’re now back at the lair of the “Almighty Rebel Jokers”.  As they raise their guns in the air celebrating their criminal victory. And to turn this twisted fantasy down an even more serpentine path, AJ was involved all along. She was an inside woman in the bank and the gang’s boss!  The duplicitous leader even adds more twists and turns to this gangbang tale.  As gang leader, AJ wants to turn up the heat on the boys by offering them fifty thousand dollars to take HER down.  Now, this is where the excitement really begins in this scene.  Her merry men take up the challenge of taking down their beloved boss. It’s time for that classic Kink takedown to be witnessed as the clown men jump on her like a pack of wild curs. Now they are ripping at her dress exposing her undergarments in the tottering of hands tearing away her clothing. Belts come flapping off as AJ is thrown to her knees and force fed some hard cock. They encircle her to initiate a hard blowbang sequence with a few face slaps in for good measure. It is their boss after all so they have to rub her pussy as they pound her face with their hard cocks. The camera is giving good close-ups of these thrusts that result in saliva coating AJ’s chin.

Now suddenly AJ is thrown on her back and shackled on a table. Her legs raised up and tied up by the ankles in rope bondage leaving her orifices open for the taking in this BDSM stance.  The clown thugs then file in to take their liberties at pounding away at AJ holes in this open missionary position.  AJ Applegate squirts a little as Owen Grey dressed as one of the clown henchmen summons the fluids from her excited orifice. An effective spit roast takes place as AJ is tied down in this position allowing the male talent to switch off between getting their cocks sucked or fucking one of her holes while she is on her back offering this service.  And while her holes are getting fucked you see the great close-up shots of the penetration that Kink directors are known for.  Her clown henchmen then whisk her away to a dark colored couch to institute the DP sequence that they threatened their boss with as they were plowing her in bondage missionary.  She is lead to sit on John Strong’s dick in cowgirl as he takes the anchor spot in the vagina. Next Gage Sin steps up initiating the rotation of filling her butt up in this recently activated DP.  AJ’s big beautiful butt is a sight to behold as it gets double pounded in cowgirl DP. To see her cheeks hang and bounce like that in her DPs makes them a treat to watch whether they’re part of a gang bang or not. AJ has now been flipped around in reverse cowgirl while John Strong is still anchoring. The anchor is the position the male takes who is at the bottom orifice in a DP to allow his male co-talents to rotate due to their accessibility to the open un-anchored hole. Or they can share a hole which is what will happen soon. After many rotations of male talent and position changes in DP, it’s time to start the intense DAP (Double Anal Penetration) session with their bad ass boss. Again you can rely on the close-ups of AJ’s fat butt being double stuffed after both cocks methodically enter her butthole due to the favored close up camera work in this Hardcore Gangbang.

It’s time for some loads to fly as AJ is dragged to what looks like a circus elephant prop on an already eccentric porn set. Her head is rested on it as John Strong launches his warm load on AJ’s face hitting his target successfully. Mr. Pete is then up next to dribble his payload onto AJ Applegate’s lips. Gage gives a great load drop as well as he spurts some seed on AJ’s mug. Owen Grey utilizes the set prop with AJ resting her head once more on it. Owen then grabs her by her hair to properly plaster AJ as she looks up at him. The post interviews after the cumshots is another Kink educational segment being that the performer gets to flesh out how exciting the scene was for them. Another inside look into the human world of porn since the girls have a chance to open up about even more in these post-interviews.

 MARICA HASE:

Marica Hase’s first language obviously isn’t English. But this doesn’t stop the interview from taking place because communication in any situation can transcend language barriers if addressed properly.  And with the importance of communicating in something like a gangbang, this is covered in Kink's interviews regardless of dialect or accent.  Marica describes in broken English how living out her fantasy like a Hardcore Gangbang can only be done in an environment that Kink can provide.  This comfortable environment attributes various options like for example not allowing the male talent to pull her hair as a definite no-no.  It’s also reviewed in this pre-scene discussion that this isn’t Marica Hase’s first gangbang. It’s really adorable to hear Marica Hase tackle the English language as you’ll fall in love with her thick Japanese accent accompanied by her natural beauty.

At the beginning of this particular fantasy of Marica’s we have her teaching English to a room full of familiar faces who are playing students. Steve Holmes blurts out insubordinately, “Why aren’t you teaching us dirty words? So that we can pick up girls!”. Marica hilariously complies with her adorable accent. All while this lightning-fast introduction is dropped on our heads some edgy alternative music can be heard shredding in the background.  The credits slide across the screen stylishly revealing that Mickey Mod is the director of this particular scene on the disc. It seems the word “gangbang” is the on the lesson for today and her now eager students are dying to know the translation of this word to Japanese. Too bad for them as Marica Hase abruptly ends the class after teasing them with an example of how one would use the word “gangbangu” in a sentence. They all turn their worksheets in accordingly like good pupils and exit the classroom. A now exhausted Marica succumbs to slumber after dealing with this interesting bunch of inquisitive students. Now the real fantasy begins...

As Marica Hase naps five nefarious figures file into view in the dark classroom that is all a part of a dream she’s having. In this haze of her Hardcore Gangbang fantasy, she's yanked away from her sweet sleep and into a flurry of penises. The point gets across to Marica as she begins inhaling thrusting cocks left and right while her clothes are torn off.  Steve Holmes suddenly institutes an impromptu rim job session as he crouches and sticks his ass in Marica Hase’s face. A signature move I’ve seen him do in other Kink gangbangs with rewarding results.  The battering of their cocks creates a cacophonous slapping sound as she is throat fucked rapidly. You’ll hear Marica choke and burp on her own spit as these cocks are force-fed to her. Titty slaps occur even while some articles of clothing are still being ripped off in the blowjob bedlam. The cock smothering in this scene is fast and efficient as they toss her around to receive oral from her in various positions in this rough session. 

The men drag Marica Hase out of frame to another set altogether from what it looks like as Marica is now wearing a kimono! No longer in the classroom, we have her bound in a very interesting bondage set up with various bars and clamps holding her down in a contorted state. The men still wearing all black, stroll into view cocks out and ready to manhandle Marica Hase a bit more now that she is tied down.  This position seems like a variation of missionary except with her hands in bondage. The male talent fucks the living shit out of her as the access is open to easing of rotation. They also fuck her hands that are tied down while also fish hooking and doing other facial contortions to give Marica Hase some very funny faces. Tit slapping is constantly done in this rough sex-play as well. After this raucous reaming of Marica Hase winds down it's time for the next phase of her fantasy. The ordering of DPs being yelled by the male talent can be heard among the chaotic transfer to the next sex position and stage set up.

“Now we have all your holes!”, Steve Holmes yells excitedly.  Marica Hase then mounts him, cowgirl, to help start the DP up. No sooner after a few humps happen in standard DP cowgirl the Double Vaginal is instantly explored in this heated session. Marica’s petite frame accepts DPs beautifully as she arches to allow two cocks to impale her holes. It looks like such a snug fit as they pound away on her in DP. She wails during her bursts of the orgasms brought on by the DPs and a wand that now has been brought out to stimulate the hood of her pussy. They get Marica Hase in reverse cowgirl DP which gives them the opportunity to fire off some DAP which you can expect to have more camera close-ups of. This is vital especially during the insertion.  She gets back on cowgirl DP for some double vaginal in for more good rotations in this DP filled gangbang. Finally, Marica is thrown to her knees to get some pops shot on her. Steve Holmes unleashes the first stream of semen directly in Marica’s gullet. Bill Bailey steps in with his blast next and deposits it in her mouth. Marica begs for the nut in Japanese as John Strong steps up and fires off his ball batter at her face. Next, Tommy Pistol pumps off some cream on Marica which then allows the final cumshot from Jon Jon to be jacked out. After all of this, she wakes up from her nap and shrugs off just another gangbang fantasy in the life of Marica Hase. The following post interview covers the usual boundaries explored as well as Marica’s satisfaction with the DPs which were in a healthy amount in this gangbang scene.

LAUREN PHILLIPS:

Lauren Phillips is overwhelmed with excitement as she looks at the camera and proclaims she’s here to get “filled up”  living up to her namesake. Madeline Maitresse also presses on the list of different sex acts that will happen to Lauren today only adding to the redhead’s sheer anticipation of the gangbang. Lauren in her interview stresses how much she loves gangbangs and group sex. She also points out that she is more experienced since the last time she worked with Madeline and Kink. The discussion reveals her limits as well which include staying away from her sensitive areas like the ends of her feet or hitting her ears.  Her experimental personality allows her to play within the boundaries she set forth as well as experience new things for the scene she is about to shoot with Madeline Maitresse. They go over the safe words with Lauren intently listening to rules and regulations of this rough sex venture.

A motley crew of bored male talent is sitting around laughing and cavorting over someone named “Lauren” while looking at a cell phone.  Tommy Pistol who looks likes he walked right out of AJ’s gangbang fantasy calls up Lauren Phillips who is playing a motivational therapist. Tommy delinquently disguises his voice as a concerned father to bait Lauren to come and “rehabilitate” his fictional son. Lauren is a good therapist and she agrees to work on Tommy’s non-existent son that day. She plans to meet him only a few hours from when he calls her showing concern on her part. Unfortunately, the meeting location seems all too suspicious and the instructions to “follow the clown” doesn’t add up to a now lost Lauren Phillips. She wanders to a doorway eventually and knocks on it. This only instigates her takedown as Tommy Pistol whips out of the doorway to snatch Lauren Phillips. We now have Lauren wrapped in plastic wrap with her beautifully buxom body exposed.  She’s floating in suspended bubble chair made of clear plastic. The male talent is taunting her knocking on the clear plastic-glass where she is suspended and still wrapped in plastic wrap. After some convincing her by captors she agrees to explore this new situation where she’ll have plenty of cocks to play with.

This, fortunately, happens as she is whisked out of her “safety bubble” to start sucking off her new clients. Cocks are thrown between her lips as her face is slapped. The blowbang being typically rough in the Hardcore Gangbang fashion has her nipples being pulled along with the play-slapping on her big natural boobs. Tommy Pistol urges her to work a little harder during her gangbang. She then starts to crawl towards the cocks
as a part of her lesson in motivation.  They make her push on with her crawling to the cock that she so desires to suck on badly. The male talent trail behind as they lead her off-camera crawling for that penis.  Now we have the group sex session moved to a couch where John Strong is pumping her vaginal doggy as she sucks Alex Legend and Tommy Pistol’s dick.  They all rotate on her pussy while she is face down on the couch being fucked.  A few more slaps on her ass and tits as they pound her in this position. Now it’s time for anal as John Strong steps up to slide his dick into Lauren’s tight asshole.  Some choke-play happens as John Strong pumps Lauren’s butt. Many other hands then reach in to fondle Lauren as John Strong fucks Lauren’s horny ass. He slips out to let his other male cohorts get their fill as well.  As Lauren Phillips is getting her ass filled up she urges the male talent to spit in her face to add to the extreme tone of this already great gangbang. You can really feel Lauren’s enthusiasm in this fast-paced fuck scene.

Some trust is built enough for Lauren to allow multiple penises in her orifices as she mounts Tommy Pistol in cowgirl to let him be the anchor. Lauren Phillips is a tall babe and to see her towering frame arched like that taking two dicks is a sight to behold. Making this gangbang already standout from the other scenes aside from the fact this scene is the latest out of the two in this comp. Some double vaginal happens while Lauren is arched down in cowgirl DP. The male talent does a good job of rotating in and out of her mouth as well as her other orifices in the repeated double penetration.  You ’ll hear Lauren begging for more as they plow away at her satisfied holes. Again a healthy segment of DPs in this Kink gangbang along with the required double anal sequence being that this is the double anal edition of a Hardcore Gangbang comp.

Lauren Phillips gets on her knees to service some dicks with the goal of the nut being ejected on her face. Mr. Pete plops the first load of nut on Lauren “the cum dumpster” Phillips. Next, we have John Johnson milking himself off into Lauren’s abyssal cum receptacle. Suddenly a scene zap happens due to lightning fast editing where Tommy Pistol is finger banging Lauren with black latex gloves on John Strong jacks off in her face. The cum drops off into her gurgling gullet. Next Alex Legend leaps into view to lob off some nut into Lauren’s lustful mouth as well. Tommy tops off the scene as he finishes himself off wearing black shiny gloves. Lauren gives him a hand by sucking on his balls as he jacks off furiously to summon the semen.  Tommy Pistol leaves Lauren a little cumstache as he stylishly walks off camera. “It’s all about motivating..” Lauren says as she plays with the jizz all over her. They go over the scene in the post interview as Lauren elaborates the importance of a takedown showing the element of surprise on Lauren. It gives the fans a chance to see her genuinely react.  Lauren Phillips also reveals how she liked being wrapped up in plastic wrap as it was a new experience for her. The girls cover all aspects of the revealing post-interview proving Lauren’s love of gangbangs.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

As a purist collector quality definitely comes into play. The quality of the video goes beyond any materialistic gain in the form of a DVD. I have way more digital videos in my archive then I do physical DVDs, that's just a fact. This is evident in the higher quality of digital videos when it comes to high definition. You can easily move around files large or small between different thumb drives or other storage mediums as opposed to clunky DVDs. That's just a fact of life that even I realize as a DVD reviewer and collector. You'll find higher quality versions of these scenes On Demand on Kink's website. You'll also have a bigger selection to choose from rather than 3 to 4 scenes per disc if that. This is why I would steer the average viewer to the Kink.com On Demand service where you can purchase scenes individually. It's well known that some of these scenes are too rough for some viewers so I can't recommend a DVD with only three scenes albeit great scenes, as it won't give enough breathing room to really browse what Kink can offer. As a viewer, you're going to need more options and Kink's member site is where to start. That's what I did when I was like you.
