Comments: I would like to weigh in on the favorite actresses discussion. First of all, Wild Bill and I share the same perv - TIGHT breast bondage. That makes Victoria Vixxen number one on my list. The Lois Payne title is very high on my all time favorites list. I also like Allison Parrish - not so much for the tits but for that INCREDIBLE ass. Third - and this may be a dark horse - is Margo Feller. She only showed up in two flicks, but her tits tied up sooo nice. Rick, whatever happened to her? Don't get me wrong - I certainly enjoy watching the current actresses, but there's something about the older vids, maybe just because they were so ground-breaking.

Comments: Three actresses: Chandra, Alison Parish, and the woman who was chained to the bed in Highay to Hell (I'm terrible with titles and names).

Plots: Rick and others, what do you mean by "plot"? I prefer very slowed down action. To my way of thinking, anticipation and squirming IS plot, and not much more is needed. Example, there's a scene with a blond actress (told ya I'm terrible with titles and names) bent over table about to get anally injected with some sort of mind- altering aphrodisiac. I love how long the guy doing the injecting takes to lube things up and actually insert all the way.

If I could make one suggestion, Rick, it would be to SLOW down the insertion scenes (of anal probes, gags, whatever). ZFX faves: Loved the scene in Highway to Hell where the girl is chained to the bed. More chains, Rick! They shout out DEFINITIVE bondage. I sit there and say to myself, heh heh heh, no WAY she's getting out of that. Also, there's a portion of this scene where she pushes the gag out of her mouth and then it slowly works its way in again. I watch this in slow-mo to savor that slow insertion. The one (Evil man?) where the chick is tied to the exercise weight bench, and her choice is to bench press the weight or let it drop, which will allow full insertion in her nether regions. Very creative, Rick, and slow , and the anticipation just builds as you just know she can't hold those weights up forever, man.

Loved Chandra, agree with the poster who said he liked when she helped out her boyfriend in capturing/ torturing the girl. There are a few of her just masturbating while the other girl is being sexually tortured. Nice. Prefer sexual torture, mind-fucking, not that whipping stuff. And I'll say it one more time - slow things down, Rick. It kills me when the captor rubs his hand over the tied girl's naked mound, and then it is quickly pulled away. Or when the vaseline is applied anally so quickly. Linger a little. Apply slowly. Thanks, Zee-ef-ex

Comments: Maybe my spacing will work better this time. Two more thoughts: Lisa Kincaid, if you still read these postings, you are adorable,a sweetheart, and get better with every film. You didn't make my top three because I prefer a different look, different strokes and all that, but you are on my list number 4 and rising. Get wilder and maybe you'll move up Penis gags, Rick! Lots and lots of long penis gags, slowly inserted/removed. Thanks for listening, Zee-ef-ex

Comments: Zee-ef-ex: ..."Three actresses: Chandra, Alison Parish, and the woman who was chained to the bed in Highay to Hell (I'm terrible with titles and names)..." The girl was Courtney Bishop, who appeared in a number of ZFX's classics like "Futureshock" and "Belly of the Beast". Very cute, and a convincing actress.

"...Example, there's a scene with a blond actress (told ya I'm terrible with titles and names) bent over table about to get anally injected with some sort of mind- altering aphrodisiac..." That would be Penelope Pace in a great scene from Part 2 of Subject 9, "Point of Entry". That scene gets mentioned by a lot of fans as one of their favorites.

Speaking of favorites, I know it's not a contest, but so far 17 different girls have been mentioned since this subject as been brought up as for picking their favorite ZFX actresses. The top three leaders at this point would be Lisa Kinkaid and Alison Parish, with 7 mentions apiece, and Chandra Sweet with six. It's probably no surprise that they are also the top three performers as far as number of appearances in ZFX tapes, as well. Keep voting, we would like to hear from everyone!

Comments: Hi Rick, How are we lookin' for that may 15 release date?

Comments: Iago: Remember: Rick mentioned a month, but didn't mention which YEAR! :-)

Comments: Damien....ooo, you son of Satan, you. Ralphus, your tabulation. Am curious how many votes for "that actress...don't know her name" gotten?

How bout' this for a torture...forced to eat....brace yourselves now...BRUSSEL SPROUTS.....the horror!!! The new videos...have patients, relax, life goes on, smile, have a good time.......

Comments: AvF...you...Hollywood Vampire you... The only one who didn't know the actress's name was Zee-ef- ex, and I gave the vote to Courtney Bishop. Wise ass! :o)

Forced to eat brussel sprouts? Maybe Rick's next sci-fi opus with have the brussel sprout eating the girl! Just the next logical step with sex-ravaged plants, teddy bears and spiders going after them... How about it, Rick? No, forget I said that! PLEASE!

Comments: Damien. Prozac can help. avf. Brussel Sprouts? What next? Cigars in strange places? Oh, wait. That's been done... Ralphus. A sex-starved brussel sprout? Hmm. What about Kim Noble in a shiny spandex "Poison Ivy" getup controlling a horde of creeping and slimy plants what use and abuse, inject into and ejaculate onto Penelope Pace and maybe Monica Moore? Sort of an organic "Cold Metal?" Naturally, something would happen and the pernicious little buggers would then turn on Kim... Yes, I like that. Not as much as a massively multiplayer "ZFX World" persistant universe, mind you, but I like it. What? Why you lookin' at me like that?
Peace,
Iago

Comments: Hi everybody, as I have been enjoying watching Zfx movies for a couple of years, I personnaly think the recent ones are the best like SOB3 or underland2. BTW my very favorite actress is Kim Noble: I love her muscular body and the way she struggle and endure the hardest beatings!! Too bad the official website doesn't accept international orders anymore, everything has been all right whis me until now, any reason for that Rick ?
Congratulation to everybody and Kim in particular.

Comments: It's been a while since I posted, but I shall lurk no more... My top 3 actresses? They all have one thing in common - their talent and especially their vocal performance. I guess it's not too big of a surprise: #1 Penelope Pace, #2 Chandra Sweet. Their presence alone makes almost every movie they're in worth watching. #3? That's a more difficult choice... There are lots of strong performances by lesser prominent actresses in the earlier tapes - Kelly McKay, for instance is someone who made a recent comeback, albeit after losing a lot of weight, and to me, her scenes in the Video Pirates series will always have a special significance, since that was the first ZFX video I watched. A bit of a personal bias, I guess.

Another thing - I have noticed some mentions of the so called "decline of ZFX". While I can't entirely disagree with their reasoning behind it, but I can definitely see a lot of ways in which ZFX has tremendously improved in the last few years. Mostly I'm talking about sound quality and video quality. I'm sure you've all noticed how much cleaner and sharper the scenes look - and how the synthesiser no longer drowns out the actors' voices (to me, that was the single most bothersome aspect of the golden days' ZFX). I have faith in Rick - hopefully whatever production troubles he's having this year will ease up and he'll speed up the process, cooking up some more inventive plots and the good old roughness along the way.

And now, an important announcement. I am looking to step down as the webmaster of this forum, and offer the job to someone else here, who's willing to maintain it. It's been over a year, and in many ways, running it has been a great experience. I will continue to participate in the general discussions but for my own private reasons, that I'm sure you'll all respect, I no longer want the managing job. Rest assured, I will NOT quit on you before I find a sucessor. If any of you are interested in taking over this responsibility, email me, and I'll give the propper instructions and passwords to the person I choose. All that is necessary to run this thing is good knowlege of HTML and enough personal privacy to be comfortable (which I, unfortunately, don't have). I would also like this forum to be advertised regularly on other discussion boards and mailing lists. So, please, if you know enough about running a website, by all means email me, especially if you're a seasoned regular around here. In the meantime, I will continue to keep my duty because the last thing I want to see is a 404 error where this forum used to be...
-- The Gimp

Comments: Gimp...bummer. Sounds like a relationship thing (only speculating of course). Women...can't live with 'em...can't tie 'em all down. Sorry to hear you are stepping down. The formum has been a great place to stop in at for veiwpoints, what's happening, and a chuckle here and there. Hope you get a taker soon(sorry, can't be me...am pretty inept compared to most about the computer. Plus , don't have the time). Anyway's...Thanks for giving us this opportunity to express. Keep us posted to who and when the reigns will be turned over. Take care!

Comments: Let's try a couple.Bring out the Ralphus....Bring out the Iago....Bring out the NYCDOM. Just dosen't have the same ring to it.How 'bout these:
Bring out Damien (oh Lord...ZFX would be banned). Bring out Pedrick (Novel lenth entries about grocery store produce).We're lost! Oh Lord, save us all!

Comments: Hi. New to the forum. I have been watching ZXF/Shockwave vids for years, and I am glad to see a forum for them. I have to hand it to Rick for putting out stuff no one else will. All other bondage companies are boring compared to ZXF. The plus side of a ZXF tape is that they give you a lot of bang for the buck. And they come as close to forced insertion shots that you can get (I love those). Up the ass, in the twat, or forced to give head, it is usually there. Plus, Rick is most excellent with the bondage.

My favorites among the models ZXF uses are Chandra Sweet and Penelope Pace (although please lady, let's pick a hair lengh and stick with it? Preferably long, as the short hair makes you appear dykish). I give Rick big points for going to the trouble to give us robotic rape. Love to see more of that. Like to see a LOT less whipping scenes, as they do nothing for me. Spankings cool, cause it is demeaning. All in all, I have seen over 20 ZXF tapes. I like most of them tremendously (Gangland 3 was great) but a few were surprisingly dull. The Totemic one was such an example. And please, I know she is basically willing to do anything, but could you use Lisa Kincaid a little less. I swear every other tape features her. It gets dull. My 2 cents, anyways. Longshot

Comments: I agree with Longshot about hair length. I like the longer hair on victims, but it's nice when it is in a pony tail, up on the head, or pig tails. I say this because quite often the hair gets in the way of the actresses facial expressions when being forced to give head. Also, I like neck ropes, and with the hair in the way we can't see the ropes tightening around the neck. While on the subject of "forced head".....I would much rather see a model being forced to suck off her rapist while the fake dildo is sticking out of his pants, rather than the perverbial jammed down the throat, while the guy holds it in his hand. Rick has done both very well in the past, but in my opinion the latter has been done a bit to much. So Rick....how about "keeping it in your pants"?

Anybody else want to weigh in on this subject??

Comments: One more thing, while I am in a writing kind of mood. I would like to start a new thread and this seems like a good group to put these questions to. I have done bondage photography before. ( no, I don't have any photos or videos left in existence... Burned them, for love of a long gone, significant other) I have taken the first steps to start up again (voice mail, buisness cards, and attendance at a few exotic dance clubs) In the past I would consume my 3 beer courage up and pick out a certain lady to do buisness. 7 out of ten times the answer would be NO. The other 3 would talk about it and sound interested but, I would most often get a call from 1 out of the 3. Of that one, she might show up and might not( were not dealing with the most reliable of professions, let's face it) All in all after the 5 dollar cover charge, the $4.00 beers, the $30.00 private dance,(sometimes) and not to mention the abundance of $1.00 bill tips, I can't afford to come away empty handed to often. I have never made a Z.F.X. kind of video. (More in the short skirt and heels, roll around on the apartment floor type of photos.) I have managed to do this 7 different times ( one model, twice). I don't try to cheat the girls and usually pay them between $35 and $50 per hour. Anyhow..... anyone out there in cyber - space have any good war stories in this context, or advice. Hey Rick, I didn't think to ask, but I hope that my post is appropriate for the forum. If not, I apoligize.

Comments: P.S ... I'm not doing these videos and photo shoots for profit, only for the pure enjoyment of it.

Comments: Alex--$35-$50 an hour? *Boggle* Hmm. Y'know, I'd kind of like to find out myself what it takes. It seems to me that lots of guys are starting to do it (Just look at the proliferation of superheroine/knockout sites right now). We certainly have some creative types posting to the forum. Hmm.
Hmm.

Comments: Alex, Since your choice of subjects seems to come from the adult clubs, the only bit of advice I can lend is to develope a friendship with one of the dancers. Although I've never filmed or photographed, I did have a relationship with an exotic dancer (her pretentious way of not calling herself a stripper)and would come to the conclusion that this would be benificial two fold. One, of access to her dancer friends. And two, of trust. Keep us posted ($35.00 to $50.00...hell, even I could afford that....I can see it now Hollywood Vampire Productions.... I can dream can't I).

The passing of the forum's flame....I've got it....BRING OUT THE MAD DOG!!! He's computer literate, he's from the inside. What more could you want. I NOMINATE MAD DOG!!! And don't forget....a forum with pretty colors! Who's with me? MAD DOG, MAD DOG, MAD DOG........

Comments: aVf: The online streaming-video guys only pay their models an average of about $9/hour, and charge clients an average of $49 for a half-hour of viewing. You've got to recoup cost on these things. Dancers mostly don't make anything like $50 per hour, except for the really good ones. And it's more the looks than the dancing ability that you'd be after, ya?
Peace,
Iago

Comments: AvF: I'll second your nomination for Mad Dog. He would be my first choice too. So how's about it, Mad Dog??? Put all you learned about HTML to the best use possible!,p> I also suggest NOT to change the name of this great forum. No matter who takes over maintaining it, IMHO this will stay The Gimp's forever. We all shoud be grateful to the Gimp for starting and maintaining this GREAT forum.I know I am....
Damien

Comments: As a matter of fact, my friends, the only one being familiar with HTML, who responded so far was Mad Dog (Ralphus, gotta give him credit, was the other one). So I'm strongly inclined at this point, to hand the forum over to him. I'll probably complete this transfer of power within the next few days after I tidy some things up. Needless to say, Mad Dog is a dedicated fan of ZFX, and I have confidence in him doing a good job and ensuring that the forum does not die out, like so many other good websites that eventually became neglected.
-- The Gimp
BTW, Thanks a lot for your appreciation, guys!!!

Comments: Just wanted to mention an auction I saw on Ebay. The guy is selling some ZFX vids and actually admits that they are a copy of an original.
(Sheesh!! How dumb is that) Anyway, if Rick (or anyone else) wants to do anything, here is the URL for this guy's auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItem&item=328375298

Comments: Hello to all! First let me just say that I am saddened to hear of the Gimps decision, but obviously, I respect it and he deserves much credit and
admiration from all of us for having provided this great space to air our views on bondage movies. I thought of taking over for him, but I think it would be unwise, both because I have no time as it is and also the obvious conflict of interest. Mad Dog is a great dude, and I think he'll do an excellent job with the site.

Still looking fairly good for release next Monday May 15, however keep in mind that this is a release date for vendors and distributors, not a street date. Street date in most cases might be a bit longer. As far as the Ebay thing goes, please don't buy bootlegs! You have the power to stop piracy by refusing to pay for it. If it's not in a full color box or, in the case of the first 33 titles, a slip cover with a printed insert (not laser copied), it's a bootleg. If ZFX is no longer profitable, it will cease to exist, simple as that. If you buy a tape you think is a bootleg, demand your money back. You have no obligation legally to pay for contraband mechandise. I would avoid Ebay like the plague as far as any kind of recorded anything. Thanks so very much for the tip! I am already aware of this ass in Chicago, and he will be dealt with.....;(

Iago had mentioned interactive 3d ZFX game. I have a dream of creating such a game, but have little expertise in this area. I do know quite a bit about 3d modeling and texture mapping, but how to apply this to gaming ......? As far as the actual writing of the program the so called game engine, I know very little. Can anyone recommend any reading, websites etc. for the newbie game writer? Any geniuses out there feel like writing a game engine for me? Or maybe something that already existed could be altered. I'm thinking it might be a first person shooter like doom or Half-life, but.....a little different. Any info would be helpful.

Website update is very close, you'll here it here first when its done:)Thats it for now, thanks to all who watch the movies, read and post here! Special thanks to the Gimp for your fine service to us all!

Comments: AvF: Thanks for considering me(however briefly!) for the post being vacated by the Gimp, but I am not the man for the job. Simply put, his shoes are too big. The Gimp has been the perfect host for us. He does not control discussions. He doesn't post too often, intimidating others (he IS the Webmaster, after all)or restricting debate, which, let's face it, requires a lot of willpower, especially on this kind of topic. He removes offensive (read commercial or foul) postings promptly and without comment. I don't think I'm that good or patient, frankly. Gimp, you can't see it, but I'm tipping my wine glass to you now (and before you say it, Mad Dog, it's my FIRST glass, dammit!). You've been great, and it has been a real pleasure using this place that you have provided for us. I also have every confidence (like anyone cares, I know) in Mad Dog who has shown himself to be very cool-minded and well-considered in his discussions. A good choice, and I'm really happy he stood up for the job.
Well, that's enough out of me for one night, I think.
Peace,
Iago

Comments: First all let me take care of some past buisness. The awnser to my question. My choice for the top three ZFX Actresess is,.......Drumroll please......1. Lisa Kinkaid- I like her look and her acting is really coming around. It also looks like lately she has been willing to raise the bar some and do more and different stuff, that she probally wouldnt of done when she first got started in the business. 2. Tabitha Jordan- What a rack, need I say more? Although I think I like her more as a dominant over another woman vs. being submissive. 3. This one has to be a three way tie- in no particular order Christina Anderson, Kim Noble, and Kelly Mcay. O.K. I might be partial just because I had a chance to work with them. But They definatelly have a place in my top 3 (?5?).

First I want to thank everybody for their kind words about me when considering a replacement for this board. The Gimp and I are in final negotiation, the only snag so far is the money. He only wants to pay me 75 million, but I think I am definately worth over 100 million, and that I should be the highest paid webmaster. (Do I even have to say I am kidding with that one?)I also want everybody to rest assured, I have no plans to change the name or the content of this board. The Gimp started something great and was super about keeping it going so we could have a place to vent and talk to others. That is the only thing that I am interested in right now. O.k. I might make a few changes but they would just be cosmetic and probally be minor.

Bottom line is that I look at this as your guy's forum. It is here for you and it should always stay this way. (Sniff, Sorry, I got something in my eye, besides it is smoky in here). if anybody has any questions or concerns. Feel free to e-mail me and I will get back to you. Other wise post them on the board and I will get to them here as well.

I have taken up enough of your time. Besides I have to go see The jaguar dealer about my recent purchase.

Peace All
Mad Dog

Comments: Hey Mad Dog, Would that hundred mill be in rupees or rubles? (grin)

Comments: Mad Dog: Welcome aboard, I think you are an excellent choice as moderator of this site. It's also cool that you are a true ZFX "insider", with the added benefit of actually knowing and working for Rick. Now we can count on you to make sure Rick follows all our suggestions, right? :o)

Seriously, I think this is a great board, and I'm glad I'm a part of it. Let's keep up the same level of excellence that The Gimp started over a year ago. He told me he will still continue to read this board and post from time to time, even though he will no longer run it. I think we owe him a huge debt of gratitude for starting this board and keeping it going as long as he has. And of course, thanks to Rick for making the vids that we all know and love. Without his dedicated work, there would be no ZFX at all, so let's support The Master himself as he works to better mankind by showing us cute babes tied up, raped and tortured! To the Gimp and Rick, we salute you!

Comments: Rick, What about doing a magazine version of some of your videos like HOM does? Couldn't that both promote your videos and pay for itself? What do the rest of you think? Would you buy them if they were available? JoeX

Comments: Mad Dog: If the only problem for you is a minor gap of just 25 million; I'm good for it. Now that's settled, I must say I am just as sorry that the Gimp has to step back (only on small step, please...) as I'm glad that you take over.How about my suggestion to maintain the name of this board?? IMHO, even if he's not the webmaster, this still is The Gimp's board. (Well...of course it's from all of us, but you get my point)

JoeX:
I have bought some of HOM's mag's, but only because I couldn't get my hands on the tapes, or because it had material tha only was available on pictures. I MIGHT consider buying a ZFX-mag, but only if they were NOT photos from the tapes (like the recent HOM-stuff often is). In other words: If I had to choose between a $10.- mag. or a $50.- tape, my choice would be the tape.

Comments: Sure, a magazine would be a good idea, that would just become another zfx-thing that's not available in Europe. I would rather suggest to make a really good website. A site offering good pictures and movies. Movies??? I hear you thinking, yes that's possible, check out the guys at insex.com if you don't believe it. (By the way, I think insex is one of the best places on the net for bondage & co, so let zfx also become one of those places.) I realise that such a site would have to be a pay-site but when it's done good (and being zfx that couldn't be a problem) it will certainly be worth the money. But since this all is for the (probely far) future, I would suggest right now to do something about the availability of the videos in Europe. I guess I've only seen about 10 of the videos, just because you can't get them here. That leaves you with a bad feeling, wanting more and not being able to get it. (Or am I just overlooking them? In that case: Anybody out there who knows about their whereabouts?) A little bit frustrated, boom. (please ignore my poor English, I'm not a native speaker)

Comments: Stupid question I guess, but how do you make paragraphs here????

Comments: Mad Dog...Alright! I was afraid that The Gimp wasn't going to get any takers. Now that the tranfer nears compleation I must once again thank The Gimp for the Avenue of expression he has provided for us. I hope to see him continue to post on the forum in the future.I must second Damien in that I hope Mad Dog will consider to keep the original name of the forum. I was thinking who might be a good sucessor by the contributions that have been posted, and even though a lot of what I posted was in jest, I thought Mad Dog would be a perfect fit. Being from the inside, being able to see more than one point of view on certain topic,......and those pretty colored postings. What else could you want. Besides, if the name was going to change, "Bring Out The Mad Dog" had the best sound to it. The only other real option I thought of was Ralphus. I hope the Gimp dosen't mind me saying this, but I have always kinda considered this forum to be as much Ralphus's as anyones. Mainly because of the reviews, the dedication to the cause, and the sense of humor. Didn't promote heavily, (actually wasn't going to for anyone)but actually in hopes for a successor, was tied (and no pun intended. don't play that with guys) for first.

Recent subject, ZFX magazine.....eeehhh, don't know about this one. I have bought a HOM movie mag here and there but it has been only to get an idea of what the movie's about (yeaugh, I know....no substance, but I love hands behind the back inversions. So if there's a couple of good scenes.....). But only when the mag's 1/2 off.
Later.

Comments: Man, a Half-life like ZFX game! Can you guys just imagine it? Some dank corner of a crumbled office complex, water dripping from the ceiling, the hero turns the corner into a flooded room where some beautiful babe is tied to a desk being fucked by space aliens. I hope someone can hook Rick up with a way to create something like this. Guaranteed it would become the top game choice on the market.

Comments: Boom: to make paragraphs you use the HTML command P. You can use other HTML codes too. As seen in Mad Dog's posts..

Mad Dog: I would like to add my welcome. Looking forward to your little changes.I would like to thank the Gimp for his excellent work on this sight. I have been to other discussion sites, and none have been as well maintained as this. The review archive was sometimes a little slow, but I know how hard it is to stay on top of everything. Good luck Gimp.
Sprocket99

Comments: First of all, I'm sorry to see the Gimp pass the torch, but congratulations to Mad Dog. I do think he is the best choice.

Anyway, regarding the magazines, I do think that would be a good idea. The reason the current HOM video review mags are crappy is that the movies are weak. However, I have several review mags from early-80s Cal-Star titles (which are good), and the mags are quite good in their own right.

Comments: Mad Dog, thanks for taking over the forum, now I feel assured that the forum will be in good hands and continue to be a valuable exchange of ideas, criticism, praise, input, information etc that will help Rick to produce even better pruducts and, not the least, make us appreciate them even more.

And, of course, a standing ovation to The Gimp, without whom this forum would not have existed in the first place! You have done a terrific job!!

Comments: Let me start by saying that this will be a quick posting as I have a softball game to go to shortly.

Thanks to everyone for the support in taking over this forum. I hope in the time to come I can do you guys justice. Also I have no intentions of changing the name of this Forum. Frankly there is just no reason for it, and it can be my way of paying homage to the Gimp for starting this in the first place.

As far as starting new paragraphs you must put a P between the greater and less than sign (<) (>) without the parenthesis.

As far as the magazine Idea goes; I talked to Rick last year because I was thinking about starting my own Nudie Magazine and Rick gave me some advice. He said that to print up a decent quality magazine cost a lot of money. Also We are moving into or are already there in the computer age. Where everything is online. So Magazine are becoming scarcer. They will never be obsolete but they just wont be as abundant as they once were.

To all the new posters, let me say welcome and I hope you keep posting here.Well thats all for now I will write more later.

Peace All
Mad Dog

Comments: As you can see, the Forum is now in Mad Dog's hands. The transfer's been completed.

Let me just say that I'm deeply moved by all the kind words I've been reading for the past few days, including those from you, Rick. This is exactly what made running this site worth it from the very start. I may be relinquishing my position as webmaster, but not my fetish (that would be next to impossible). I will keep posting and maintaining my allegiance to ZFX as long as it keeps producing videos.

Also, I want to give credit where credit is due. Ralphus can almost be considered a co-founer of this site, since it was after seeing his ZFX reviews on the alt.sadistic board and noticing that they weren't generating proper discussion, did I contact him and excercise the idea of starting a separate site. He has really inspired me to gather my courage and speak out on a subject that very few would be willing to reveal or share even in the (relatively) anonymous realm of cyberspace. Which is why no-one started this kind of a forum before, even though ZFX has existed for almost 7 years.

Another inspiration was the Chloroforum, a popular fetish discussion site also hosted by Tripod/Dreambook and it's webmaster, Morpheus (who, BTW, also retired by now, and I regret to say, it's hasn't been the same ever since. I sincerely hope our own forum will not follow the same path...).

So good luck to you, Mad Dog, in maintaing this site. Your efforts, no doubt, will be rewarded by the encouragement and appreciation of regulars and newbies alike.
see y'all later, -- The Gimp

Comments: Warning: Wordy rambling post follows.

The future.
Seeing the Deambook change hands makes me think about the future, as I suppose is natural. But thinking about the future of the Dreambook then makes me wonder about the future of ZFX. I next get reflective, and think about what got me started on ZFX in the first place.

When I first saw a ZFX flick back in the mid-90's somewhere, I had never seen anyone do anything remotely similar to what Rick was producing since at least the '70's. I wasn't old enough to watch porn in the '70's, actually, but a few of the old tapes found their way to me later on. The adult industry had just been through having it's teeth bashed in by the Meese commission a few years earlier, and porn was really barely worth the effort of renting after that. Rick didn't exactly produce porn, but he went as far as he figured he could get away with, giving sexy, non-consensual bondage stories. There were two parts to this that caught my eye. First, hardly anyone else would touch non-consensual storylines with radiation gloves. It was all master-slave-we-love-the-scene crapola that was so watered down it'd put you to sleep. Second, everyone else was doing the same old dungeon master or mistress thing. Rick used different elements. He used fantasy (Fair Warning, 666 etc.), sci-fi (too many good ones to list), aliens, psychos, plants, medieval gothic-industrial torture machines (Xtractor), even a love drug or two, all used against VERY unhappy subjects. No one else was doing that. But it was what I liked.

Does anyone else here read horror? Does anyone remember "Light at the End?" It was a vampire novel that came out in the mid-eighties. While it might never have been as big as a King or a Barker novel, Skip and Spector (the authors) took a new ultraviolent and sexual approach to horror writing that rendered everyone else out there obsolete overnight. When you read horror today, you can see that book in almost all of it, from Todd McFarlane to King.

Why bring that up? Well, I think Rick is the same way. He did what no one else was willing to do. If he has made a success of himself doing it, bravo for him. Even today, he hardly has any real competitors. Everyone else still seems watered down by comparison, even the more-and-more common ones that are apeing his storylines. Michael Crichton, the "Jurassic Park" guy, said he fears the internet, because it threatens to homogenize man's thought. Evolution, he notes, happens faster in small, isolated communities. By linking the world we threaten the stifling of creativity, and hence evolution itself.

I personally would like to see Rick be the same guy he was in the early '90's, taking chances, pushing the envelope, and doing the things that he personally thinks are cool. Times have changed. What is considered extreme has changed. The legal and liberal atmosphere have changed, at least for now. No offense to us, but fans rarely really tell you what they want. They tell you what they liked in the past. But if you produce more of what they liked, they'll just tell you that they've seen it before, and what then? Nah, I think the ones that stay great are the ones that stay different. The Tim Burtons, Madonnas (love her or hate her, she's been on top of pop for twenty years), Barkers. Maybe Rick? I hope so. I think there is real promise in this 3D poser stuff. Some of those artists are really, really good and really, really twisted. Adding animations, especially as the detail and realism improve, will be great. At least, I believe so.

I was also thinking about that computer game Rick mentioned, but this thing is probably already long enough to get me lynched, so I'll knock off here.
Do you guys have any thoughts on this stuff?
Peace,
Iago

Comments: Iago: I think your comments are weel thought out and timely. What attracted me to ZFX in the early 90's WAS the fact that he was doing what no-one else would, and I'll be damned if those other mass producers haven't kept to their same old crap - just playing it safe.No-one would show a woman struggling and being tied against her will, but Rick BOLDLY went where wimps were intimidated to tread. Even now, if you look at a Bizarre, Bon-Vue, or LDL flick, it's the same consentual line that takes the fun out of the game.Also, I have noticed Rick pushing the envelope further by simulating [?] dildo insertions in his vids. I know this is not expressly prohibited by law by evidence of to the presence of the pictorials from '70s "Star" bondage mag pictorials, and I think that current views on porn have softended. I don't see those anti-porn zealoys like I saw in the 80's, and I see a president practically starring in a porn flick.I know that Larry Flint is pushing the limits in his "Taboo" magazine line, so I ask, Rick, are you ready to to show explicit forced penetration in you vids? I'm sure that your fans are ready, and I think the climate is ready. What do you say?

Comments: Iago, you should have given us "Fair Warning" (yuk,yuk). Actually I would have liked to hear your thought's on the game. Maybe next time huh? Your thoughts of the possible ZFX in the future. The hardcore element. Actually there is already some (amature sites)on the web that have penetration/cum shots while their ladies are in bondage (but again...amature attempts at bondage). I have been reluctant to mention any in the past 'cause I don't care to see them shut down with too much noteriety. Amature yes, but still has potential as is evident by one video in particular that uses an intruder theme (Might actually have had a hand in this directly or indirectly. But camera interpretation and acting had a lot to be desired so I'll just leave it at that). Another reason had not mentioned it is for fear of Rick's reaction. Even though they are no threat, wasn't sure how Rick would feel considering his limitaions (being legitimate) in this area. As for my veiwpoints I think ZFX is just fine as is. Sure I would like to see actual penetration and sloppy facials (ahh, my favorite....a hint to the vid. mentioned) but actually what I'd like to see more, is that of the peril element (won't go into detail as have mentioned in earlier postings). A slight variation of the teen slasher theme but without the blood and guts. Expanded story lines (I know most would rather cut to the chase) that build as you go(anticipation has it's points). And maybe some mainstream porn actresses (If hardcore is to be added, maybe the only way to go. Alex Dane...for God's sake please!!!). Now roll all these together and Rick becomes the Cecil B. DePorno of the industry, although he's already close.
Just my two cents.
Ahh yes, the game. Lots of cum shots! Short and sweet huh?. I figure with Rick's vision, he'll take care of the rest.
Hey Mad Dog, how 'bout a spell checker to take care of all my typo's?
Later.

Comments: Heya Hollywood, I wasn't just referring to actual intercourse in Rick's movies. That is one aspect he may or not be able to expore, or, come to think of it, even desire to explore. I'm just hoping that Rick doesn't give into the easy peril of listening too closely to what fans ask for. Giving them more of the same is fine, if that's what they want. But in something like this, giveing them what they ask for sounds like trouble. Let's look (sic) at those facial shots you were talking about. You probably have a whole scene figured out in your head. Knowing you and your interest in cinematography, I bet you do have a whole scene figured out. But if RICK made YOUR scene, it would look different than you imagined. Would it still work? And would it have the passion behind it that a project Rick had in HIS mind would? All I'm saying is that I hope Rick still goes his own way, and does what he wants. Particularly if we are going to be looking at a more "boutique" approach to release, with fewer releases at higher price points (I don't know about you guys, but my retailer gives discounts for ordering 4 or more at once).

Comments: Well, part two tonight, then no more for a while (hey-stop cheering!).

For the game idea, Rick hasn't really gone into any depth about what he wants the game to be. All he said was it would be a first-person shooter, but a little different. I know these things aren't really inexpensive. ZFX is very visual, relying on good image detail and hot babes with recognizable reactions. That requires a lot of programming, and a good 3D engine. They aren't cheap. As far as to how hot it would be, we don't even know what kind of game Rick is talking about here. If he's thinking about the "ZFX world" thing I mentioned, that would be a really big challenge, in more ways than I could even begin to mention here. How many people would it attract? How many people would have to be employed to make it? To expand it? To maintain it? How would you market it? Not just on the web, probably. I think it can be done, and be a groundbreaking, very cool enterprise. But it isn't just going to happen. And I don't think it can happen with a one-man shop, which Rick basically is at this point. Well, unless he sub-contracts it out. Which is a whole different can of worms. I hope it does happen. But if Rick started today, it would probably still be years before it was ready, I think. Of course, knowing Rick, he may have most of the artwork done and stashed someplace already, cutting massive time off of the development cycle. What the hell do I know.
Peace,
Iago

Comments: I think Iago made an excellent observation in his thoughts about ZFX. Yes, the thing that sets ZFX apart from the rest of the mainstream bondage companies is the nonconsentual aspect of his work. By using real settings and abandoning the traditional S&M dungeons and bondage gear, you never have the thought that these girls are in any way "into it". While there are also whipping and suspensions and many of the same type of scenes in tapes from B&D Pleasures, LBO or practically any other U.S. bondage company, only ZFX has the courage to show torture, as opposed to S&M. And you can forget about ever seeing simulated rape from any other bondage producer, no way. The funny thing is, that's what people WANT to see! Maybe not necessarily rape, but at least sex combined with bondage. These are adult movies, after all, and even people who like bondage like sex scenes, too. And bondage rape, therefore, becomes a natural extension of those two desires. What he has done, in this era where Nervous Nelly producers continue to play it safe, is to give his fans what they want to see, even under the restrictions of a politically correct society. Rick's tapes are delightfully non-PC, and one would have to visit Japan to find any kind of fetish material that rivals his work. It is no surprise, then, that an article written about him in an adult magazine was titled "ZFX: Fetish's Roque Warrior". Wear that badge proudly, Rick, you deserve it. :o)

Comments: Sic....sic? How many times must I tell you....it's demented! Remember, there's none so blind as those who will not ski.
Later.

Comments: Hey everybody. PLEASE BEAR WITH ME FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS!!! It is going to be a transition for all of us. If there is anything that you want to see on this forum or dont let me know. Otherwise have your shades ready. Just kidding, it wont stay this color. Just trying something new.

Peace All
Mad Dog

Comments: Mad Dog: Glad you took over. And glad to see you trying out something new. But honesly: yellow????
Keep experimenting, Damien

Comments: Question for Rick and the rest of you louts . Two of my favorite scenes are Penelope Pace (?) in Evil Man tied to the weight bench, and someone Bishop (?) chained to the bed in Highway to Hell. I watched them again the other night and noticed another reason why those scenes just get me. At the end of each one, the actress seems to give up and give in to her situation. That gives ME chills, good chills . In the weightlifting bench scene, she can no longer lift the weight and allows it to drop, whereupon the dildo is fully inserted in her. In the chained to the bed scene, for a long time she is straining against the chains, but then at the end she is just writhing on the bed against the vibrator pressed up against her furry, but no longer struggling against her bonds. Again, that giving in turns me on.So, Rick, is their visible giving in part of your editorial direction of the film, or just happenstance? I'm curious as to how much direction you give the girls, to struggle or not and to act the way they do. And louts , does that giving in turn you on as much as it does me? Thanx, zee-ef-ex

Comments: MAD DOG, nix the yellow, PLEASE!!! I liked it the way it was before, white on black is classic and easier to read. If it aint broke, it don't need fixin :)

Comments: Zee-ef-ex, Normally it would not have been too difficult, even with the line through it, to read your posting. Was still able to read it but was made more difficult since I have to wear shades to read the forum now. Didn't mind too much until stepping out into the darkness and falling down the stairs. Hey, whaaawzzuuuupp (that's what's up for all of you who haven't seen the comercial) Mad Dog.....Just funn'n wit'cha.
Later

Comments: MMMmmmm. Yellowwwwww.

Comments: Greetings to ALL!!! WAAAAAA! MY EYES!!!!!I'm blind! Had to say that;). The new ZFX and Shockwave titles have been released to distributors as of May 15 and should be arriving at your video retailer soon! It's gonna take a few more days, weeks in some cases, to filter out to all the retailers, so please be patient. Of course Fantasy Food http://www.fantasyfood.com, our web retailer will have them within a few days. If anyone in Europe wants ZFX, Fantasy Food will be happy to service you in any format you choose. We would love you business! Anyway, enough with the sales pitch, I hope you enjoy the shows.

I had to roll up me sleeves(not the first time by a LONG shot) and help get the product out the door, so the website update is a little behind. What else is new right! It'll happen in the next day or three. As I began to work on it, I realized it needed more of an overhaul than I thought. Also, there is some 3d art, actually a little series that will also appear, so I'm finishing that up.

Ok a few thanks are in order. I'd like to thank Iago personally for the info both on new models and for the info on a ZFX type game...ie, game engines, cost etc. I'm still researching this, but the price tag Iago mentioned, $1,000,000.00 ,would make it a risky venture because I would need outside investors (oh alot of em), and the commercial viability of such a product is a little murky. The development time is long on games as well, which makes me think the million dollar estimate is accurate. As far as the concept, I have thought of a way of making the game more palatable to society and still be alot of fun, but it would still be an adult bondage and horror game. I can't say what the actual plot is because it's a rather unique one(well the adaptation is anyhow) and while I doubt this would happen, someone could steal the idea. I'll have to play it close to the vest for now. I'd say there about a small chance it will happen anyway....but I still have hope!

Don't worry bout me trying to make movies to please others or being overly influenced. I look at comments and suggestions, sift them for things I find interesting but thats about it. I follow my own bizarre drummer in these (creative) areas and I just try to make myself happy with what I'm doing. I'm just glad other people like it enough that I can make a living doing and creating things. I probably draw more from the mainstream media and movies than anything else.

Ok thats it for now, gotta get the update done. I'll let ya know when it's finished. Thanks to Mad Dog for his considerable efforts and all who post, read and watch the movies!
Rick

Comments: Really happy to hear that, Rick.

Comments: The best actress -- easily Lisa Kinkaid. She looks so beautiful and tender as she hangs naked. She could be a little more animated under torture, but over all, I think she is the best. My favorite scenes involve her hanging by her wrists, naked, while she is whipped or tortured with electric shocks. Her best scenes are in Voodoo Dolls 2, where she is hung from the ceiling, Vacuum, hung and whipped against a concrete wall, and Architect of Pain, where is tortured soley by spreadeagle suspension. Great!

Comments: Hey, Rick, if you're so close to distribution, how about telling us which actress is in which video, to keep us interested until you get the previews posted on your website?

Comments: NO MORE POP UP ADDS!!! Great job Mad Dog! I'm more than happy to where my industrial strength shades to read the forum as long as the pop ups are gone. I haven't posted in a while so I'll add my thoughts on my top three ZFX HOTTIES. Let me preface this by saying that I know I'm a minority here in the forum because unlike the rest of you I LOVE fake boobs! Don't get me wrong, real ones are nice, but I just don't see how anyone can look down on a beautiful woman with perfectly shaped fake boobs. I think they抮e great. It抯 all good, but come on, you can抰 beat a great boob job.

Number 3 for me is a tie between PENELOPE PACE and KIMBERLY NOBEL. Penelope is hands down the best actress of all ZFX抯 stable of mouthwatering beauties. You can always count on her having just the right reactions throughout her tapes. Take for instance South of the Border 1. I usually get impatient when I抦 waiting for the action to really get rolling, but with this tape my finger never once went to the fast forward button. The scene where she is first tied up and being video taped by the terrorist is so incredibly erotic because her reactions seem genuine and not in the least bit forced or fake. Not to mention that her body is just amazing.Kimberly Nobel is tied (no pun intended) at number three because she is also one of the greatest performers of the bunch, but what I love most about her is her INCREDIBLE body. I wasn抰 overly thrilled watching her get off the toilet in her first scene in 666. (I don抰 know about the rest of you, but I really have no interest in seeing any woman take a dump.) But that scene more than made up for itself by letting us see Kimberly be strangled into unconsciousness. We actually get the pleasure of seeing that twice in 666 because about ten minutes later she is strangled into unconsciousness again, only this time she has been stripped so we can watch her insanely hot body while her arms are bound behind her back and chained to the ceiling. What a GREAT scene! God Rick抯 a genius.

Number 2 for me is someone I feel is often over looked here in the forum and that抯 Kimberly抯 co-star in 666, CHRISTINA ANDERSON. Talk about a nice set of fake boobs, Whoo Haaa. I have only seen her in 666 but what an impression it made. I mentioned this before, but I just can抰 believe that she was never stripped nude in that movie. What a waist. There should be laws that prohibit some women from wearing cloths and she most defiantly falls into that category. As a matter of fact, I didn抰 think she looked that great in her leotard at the beginning and only noticed how beautiful she was when they started tearing her cloths off. Then when the last vestiges of her clothes are left what do they do? They make her put on some lame Madonna bustier (spelling) and cover up her flat hard stomach. As I said, what a waist. The scene where she is having the candle wax melted on her is just numbingly great to watch though, bustier and all.

Finally my number one pick is without a doubt MONICA MOORE. Good God, what an incredible package she is. I can抰 think of one scene I have ever seen with her in it that was anything less than a grand slam out of the park. It抯 like Rick went to the Playboy Mansion, kidnapped the playmate of the year, stripped her nude, tied her up, and just went to town on her. Luckily he videotaped it for all of us to see, and man o cheviots, is it ever something to see. For anyone thinking about buying a ZFX video that hasn抰 decided which ones to get yet, trust me, anything with Monica in it is more than worth your money. By the way, could Rick or anyone tell me why she is no longer working with ZFX? Rick种种种种种. Pleeeeeease get her back!

Honorable mention goes to LISA KINKAID. She has so many great scenes. Her scene in Whiplash four where she is tied to the table being shocked (or whatever the hell that thing was doing to her) was heavenly. The way she started heavily sweating was just wonderful to watch. And all of her scenes in Forced Entry were great.One last honorable mention would be TABITHA JORDAN. HUGE BEAUTIFUL BREASTS! Need I say more?Ok, I抦 all typed out for now. Can抰 wait to see the new vids. Especially the new 666, looks like Rick finally got rid of the damn bustier on Christina. (^_^)

Comments: The crowd has spoken, no sorry I meant the mob. Please everybody, put down the axes, pitchforks, and torches, I will change the forum back to the other color. Otherwise I might end up tied up and whipped in "Underland 3- Revenge of the Porn Store Bimbo's" But then again I suppose it would depend on who was doing the whipping. "Lisa, I am ready for our scene now" Begs Mad Dog.

O.k. I had my fun. Something that you guys should know about me is that I sometimes do things for the fuck of it; and sometimes I do things just because I can get away with it; and sometimes I do things just to get a response out of people, good or bad.

Well thats it for now. Catch you guys later.

Peace All
Mad Dog

Comments: Lord and Master??? I see someone's having a hard time getting his head through the door.As far as the scene....how 'bout...."Return of the Street Pimps". You know...from the movie review part of the movie "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka". I found da movie totally unbaleaveable.....but my patner...he like it dat shit! (mis- spelling on purpose for those of you who haven't seen the movie. With all the take of the video game, how 'bout the subject that's been brought up before. That being, DVD. I'm hooked. I got a DVD not too long ago and replacing all my movies to the better format. Any possiblity in hte near future? besides, and I could be wrong, but I would think that the DVD format dosen't get bootlegs as frequently.
Later

Comments: If Mad Dog, Lord and Master, doesn't change the color of the forum back, perhaps we should henceforth refer to him as Yellow Dog! What da ya say, mob? If that doesn't work, bring on the above-mentioned sequel. Anyway, yellow color or not, thanks again to Mad Dog for valiently taking on the forum and saving us all from the dreaded 404 message as mentioned by the greatly appreciated Gimp.

Comments: Just to let everyone know, BDfan and I are different contributors. Any way, Mad Dog can keep the background yellow, black, red, green, purple, or plaid for all I care. I'm just happy that this forum exists, cuz ZFX was my first intoduction into bondage flicks and I will be a fan forevermore. I LOVE talkin' 'bout chicks tied up and in pain.

Comments: Thank you very much, Mad Dog. We can once again read the forum without wearing our sun glasses, although I still have a sunburn. Actually, I was only kidding about the color. As BBFan said, you can make the forum any color you want. It is the content of the forum that interests us and the opportunity to share our enthusiasm for the extremely erotic bondage videos of ZFX. However, for what it matters, I really do think the forum looks better with a black background. I also think that colored lettering you use for your posts looks terrific, especially blue. Keep up the great work and I'll look forward to seeing you in your next movie. The angry mob has been temporarily appeased. However, we now demand that a lovely virgin be tortured and sacrificed in the name of the Lord and Master, Mad Dog.

Comments: Hey, I'm just as grateful as everyone else that Mad Dog has taken over the site, especially since he got rid of the pop up adds, but lets get back to talking about the flicks instead of constantly talking about what should be done with the site. Lets leave that to Mad Dog. For a new topic, how about:"Which of the new movies coming out are you most excited about and why? Based of course on what Rick has said about them and also from the preview pics on Fantasy Food." For me I think that I am most looking forward to the new 666, the new South of the Border, and Viral Load movie. 666 because of the very intense candle waxing pictures with Kimberly Nobel, but it looks like that damn bustier is still on Christina. But that抯 why I抦 looking forward to South of the Border. God damn Christina looks HOT tied up getting the old cloths pin treatment. WHAT A RACK, (hers, not the one she is tied to of course.) Viral Load looks good because of the Red Head whom I抦 assuming is the voluptuous Penelope Pace who has yet again transformed herself. What a bod on her! As far as the other two are concerned, I think that I would buy some of the older tapes that I haven抰 seen yet before I would buy them. What are all of your opinions?

Comments: One last thing. This is directed mostly at RALPHUS because he wrote the review and I thoroughly trust his opinions, and Mad Dog for obvious reasons, but of course also to anyone else who has seen the movie. I know that both Kimberly and Christina are featured in SOB 3, but in Ralphus?review, he kind of gives the impression that their scenes aren抰 really that great. Now I抦 positive that the villains will do a great job in the movie. ; ) But just how prominently featured are Kimberly and Christina, and how well are there scenes acted out in comparison to, what I feel were incredible performances in 666?
Thanks in advance.

Comments: Howie, I have seen Christina and Kimberley in SOB3 and I think they both did a great job. If I would do a comparision it would be like this: The scene where Kim is whipped hanging by hand and feet is truly outstanding, her screams are very convincing and the way she desperately tries to get away from the whip is a real sight to behold. Christina does a good job too, even though I think that she was better in 666. But her performance is definately worrth a look.

Comments: Howie: Christina and Kimberly are both fine in their roles in SOB-3, but in my opinion, the best scenes in the tape are those with Lisa Kinkaid. Her stuff is so super that the rest of the vid pales in comparison. Not that the earlier segments were bad; in fact, I really liked Christina's electric shock scene a lot. They are both prominently featured in the tape, and if you liked 666, this is more of the same, shot in the same locations, even though the latter tape had more memorable scenes. It's definitely worth checking out.

Which new tapes am I looking forward to most? Well, from looking at the stills, I would have to say Ballista 2 most of all. There are a few reasons. Number one, I thought the first one was great, the best of the last batch, so I'm looking forward to seeing more. From the stills, it looks like the lovely Lisa is in for some electric shock torture, always a favorite. :o) Bridgette is back and it looks like she's going to get some of the forced drinking that Lisa had to endure in the first chapter. And this new girl, Barbara Bayer, looks like a genuine hottie. I always like it when Rick introduces a new girl for us to salivate over. Hope he tortures her good!

Another one I'm looking forward to is the sequel to SOB-3, because Lisa's going to be punished for escaping at the end of the last chapter. Just judging from the stills, it looks like she's going to get the lion's share of the bad treatment in this installment, and like I said, her footage was the best thing about the last one. I also noticed the pictures of the Hollywood Vampire-inspired upside-down dunking in this tape, as well. Anyone who has been reading this board for awhile might remember when AvF asked Rick about such a scene, and now, low and behold, it appears in a new ZFX tape! You've made your contribution to the cause, Buddy, you can die happy now! :o)

Comments: Just visited one of those kinky novelty stores, and it gave me some ideas for a thread for this group.They had a clit-vibrator butterfly thing for sale which you tie with thin strings over the woman's hips and thighs, holding the vibrator in place over her clit. I think back to all the scenes where Rick has the beautiful damsel bound and wearing panties with a vibrating dildo shoved down into the panties, but it never seems to remain directly on target, is always moving away from the target zone by all the squirming. So I ask you z-f-exers (1) would you like to see this particular type of sexual aid used on the bound damsel, so as to watch her while she is uncontrollably and unceasingly stimulated during the scene (2) Rick, would you and the wonderful ladies consider using such a device; and (3) do any of you zee-ef-exers out there have ideas for other sex toys Rick should be using?
zee-ef-ex

Comments: zee-eff-ex, I think Rick did use a butterfly vibrator in the third Cold Metal movie with Monica Moore. She was tied with her legs spread wide and a butterfly tied on. If you want a side-idea for this kind of thing, they make remote-controlled versions of it, I hear. What about one of Rick's evil scientist-types what sells panties or injects nanomachines into the ladies, allowing him to use a remote control to regulate their arousal? Once again, it would require a good actress. Penelope could do it (Supermax and Incubus 2 may not have been Rick's finest, but Penelope showed that she can CERTAINLY do this kind of scene!). Kim Noble screams well, but can she do arousal? I haven't seen that. Same with Christina Anderson. Besides, those two are up North and maybe unaccessible now. Who else could do this kind of scene? Any idears?
Peace,
Iago
P.S., Rick, thanks for the public appreciation, but it was no problem to give the info. Let me know if I can be of other assistance.

Comments: Iago: I like the idea. How about Sandra Chase. She did a good job in Jennifer's Nightmares. There is also Lisa. The mad scientist could do it to Miss Ballista. The films I am most looking forward to are Viral Load, 666 Part 2 and Ballista 2 - The Evil Dr. Menace.
Sprocket99

Comments: I'm into rougher stuff than vibrators myself. Things like cattle prods attract my interest much more:-) The movie I'm most looking forward to is Miss Ballista, Part 2. I can't wait to get a good look at that new girl, Barbara Bayer. According to the synopsis she receives a "vicious suspended whipping" in the movie, and Rick previously commented on what a good actress she is as well as how roughly she is treated. Judging from the preview pictures at fantasyfood as well as the preview at the end of Miss Ballista, she looks to me like the ultimate victim - beautiful, young, lithe, and innocent looking with the kind of pert girlish breasts I love to see. In fact, I have already ordered the movie from Fantasy Food, partly because it looks like a great movie but also to send the message to Rick that that I hope he uses Barbara and similar looking young beauties a lot more in the future. I'd love to see movies showing Barbara's body covered with clothespins being tugged by cords, to watch her being abducted while walking down a country road or in the woods, to see her unconscious body being stripped and fondled, and too many other things to begin to mention!

Also, I think Bridgette Bayonne is very sexy and I'm looking forward to seeing her in Miss Ballista, Part 2 as well as in the movie, In Their Nature. I can't wait to see what cruel things the degenerate father and son team do to this poor girl! My favorite ZFX actresses include Allison Parrish, Monica Moore, Courtney Bishop, Bridgette Bayonne, Amy Van Allen, Chandra Sweet, Candi Licks, Jody Adams, Jackilyn Lacrosse, Kimberly Noble, and Christina Anderson. I'm not sure which are my top three.

Something I'd really like to see is for ZFX, the hottest S&M movie producer, to team up with Insex, the hottest S&M website. Wouldn't that make a great combination! I'll bet that by combining their expertise and finances, they could produce even better movies as well as have a hotter website. On the website, they which could include pictures of beautiful bound ZFX actresses (or prospective actresses) being tortured and molested along with the pictures they already have of the beautiful young women of Insex. They could also perform live skits in which favorite sadistic fantasies are acted out along with scenes of live torture. Does anybody else like this crazy daydream of mine?

I gotta agree with Robert on this. I've also pre-ordered the movie "Miss Ballista 2" even though (a) I never saw the first "Ballista" movie and (b) I'm not into the superheroine bondage thing. My main reason(s) for preordering are (a) Barbara Bayer suspended with arms overhead and whipped; (b) Barbara Bayer bound upright, arms overhead, under a ladder and then has a string tied to her sex, run over a pulley, and tied off to her suspended ankle (I would've prefered a weight, in order to preserve the symmetry of her body form); (c) Lisa Kinkaid suspended by her wrists and whipped; and (d) Barbara Bayer held between a frame and tortured. Usually, if I can spot 3 good bondage scenes, I'll get the film, so since I found 4 potentially good scenes I took a chance and preordered without waiting for Ralphus' reviews to come in. Barbara Bayer could be the next great performer in Rick's films, but I'm reserving final judgement until I've seen "Ms. Ballista 2".

Hey, Rick! How about updating your web page with some new screenshots!
Keep'em hangin'.

Comments: Just thought I'd let everyone know that the descriptions of the movies are up at Fantasy Food.

Comments: Just saw the picture posts on Fantasyfood site, and since I'm such a pervert for Lisa Kinkaid, I can't wait to see the movie. She is hung naked by her wrists and whipped -- it appears she also is torture with electric shocks. This is the kind of scene I could see in every zfx film. Brutal torture with as much suspension with arms overhead as possible. This kind of stuff that no one else has makes zfx the best producer in the business. I agree that I would like to see more produced at a greater pace, but what the hell, what's a pervert to do?

Comments: I dont like to kick a dead horse, especially when the subject died down. Last thing I want to do is to bring it up again, because we will only be saying the same thing. The reason that I am posting this little side note is because it is something that I just realized and I thought it might help to give some of you guys an insight into why it takes Rick so long in between movies.Many of you know that I am currently going to school for MultiMedia and Web Design. This quarter I have an Audio/visual class. Where my partner and I have to go out and shoot a little short film (5-15 minutes). Then we have to edit the movie. Basicly it teaches you about using a camera, how to set up your shot, lighting, and editing. Anyways my point is that I just got to the editing stage the other day, and granted I am new to the editing part, it took me three hours to get 42 seconds of footage on the final one. Every time in a ZFX film when you see the scene change or a different angle on the same scene. That must all be edited (D'uh of course Mad Dog!)But it takes a while to get some of the cuts smooth. So the whole video flows and dosent look like it was done on two vcr's in a basement by a pervert. O.K. so Rick is a pervert, but I am sure he is not the only one.

Now please let this subject die, I think the horse is not only but it is on its way to the glue factory.

Which new ones am I looking forward to. SOB and 666 part 2, O.K., maybe thats because I am in them, but I am looking forward to them. Although the one where the son and father team up sounds like a cool scenerio, and Miss Balista part two dosent really interst me but I might have to check it out for the way you guys are ranting about this new girl.

One last thing before I finish my novel. This is directed more towards Rick, but I think you guys would like this idea. I would like to hear more form some of the other actors and actresses in the Flicks. They dont necessarily have to contribut on a regular basis but maybe pop their heads in now and then to anwser questions and give their insights. it has been a long time since we heard from Lisa Kinkaid. I would also like it if we could get more women like posiibly some of the other big names. So Rick, your mission, should you choose to accept it, talk to anybody who is involved, even if all they do is help you with sets and props or whatever.

To all the rest of you, come up with some questions that we can throw on the board. Maybe I will throw them in a seperate section on the archives so that they can be accesed and always here

Peace All
Mad Dog

Comments: On recent subjects. Which flick most looking forward to and sex toys. The movie I'm most looking forward to is an obvious answer as Ralphus has already given mention. SOB3 of course. And yes, I can almost die a happy man now but there's still the brussle sprouts thing (only kidding about the brussle sprouts of course). Sex toys...big thumbs down (just my opinion)! The idea seems to me that this is not consentual. This is rape, torture, abduction. To attempt to bring one's victim to arousal lessens the degree of shock and terror. If the victim somehow was to untie herself the natural reaction is to flee....not to stay there and get off on one's self. The largest sex organ a person has is the brain. If truly taken against one's will no amount of stimulation will bring about arousal. To me it makes it unbelievable and not worth watching. The victim's not a victim anymore. One last thing before signing off. Mad Dog mentioned a challeng to Rick about getting some big names. Just one word.....ALEX DANE FOR HUMANITY'S SAKES PLEAAAAASE!!! FOR ALL THAT IS RIGHTEOUS IN THis WORLD....FOR GOD AND COUNTRY. Besides, she's a babe.
Later.

Comments: "If truly taken against one's will, no amount of stimulation would bring about arousal..." I think that is an unproven assertion. Rick would seem to think so, too, as virtually all of his scenes include some form of stimulation (by hand, by vibrator, etc).I also think that in this realm of fantasy we are all enjoying, to cause the abducted victim to become aroused against her will is the ultimate form of humiliation. One final interesting point your posting made me think about and bring out onto the table. Yes, we watch ZFX films with a certain amount of suspension (smile) of disbelief, i.e. we "believe" that the girl's car really broke down and she was abducted. But when I watch the flicks, I think not only about this fantasy character but also very much about the actress herself. Do others do that? Mad Dog's posting and others through the past months would seem to bear out that we want to hear from the actresses, to know what goes through their minds. When I watch the scene, I think about and see not only the victim, but also the actress - it is SHE, after all, who in reality is bound and experiencing this torture and stimulation. I like to think about not just Lisa Kincaid's character being affected, but about Lisa herself being affected. Thus, for me, sex toys are interesting because I wonder how the actress responds to them. They don't ruin the fantasy for me, they bolster it, because the actress has not actually been abducted, rather, her bondage is consensual, I'm sure there are times her work is a pain in the ass (smile, maybe literally) but other times when she is getting off on her own fantasies. So I like the sex toys for that reason - I always watch these movies on two different planes, observing a character and observing a person, the actress. Anyone else feel this way?

Comments: zee-ef-ex, Ah, No. I remember seeing an interview with John Dough a few years back where he was talking about the porn biz. He said "Sometimes we love it. Sometimes we hate it. But we do it because we're getting paid." I think part of the criteria for Rick and his actresses is that the gals don't look to be enjoying themselves. Honestly, most of these women are not heavy-duty actresses, so I don't think they are faking a lot of the discomfort their odd positions and sprayed-down bodies bring. The only one I ever saw who really looked into it was Drew Phonix, and that was long ago.

Reality? Did someone mention reality? (Pause for laughter to die down). ZFX isn't about reality. I'll watch the news for reality. The old story of the love potion made for Rick's biggest series (Guinea Pigs). The B-movie monster with a libido added continues to be a welcome visitor in many of his flicks. I wouldn't be surprised if Roger Corman was a fan of ZFX, for all the nods he gets (and should, for Galaxy of terror and Humanoids From the Deep, if for no other reason). Devils, mad scientists, psycho torturers, monsters and government agents up to no good are the stuff of Rick's visions. I know when we did the poll I was in the minority with wanting more of the sci-fi stuff. But who cares? I'm already in the minority of the population in the country because I watch and enjoy this stuff. I'm sort of used to it.

My hotly anticipated titles? Hmm. I'd say Viral Load, because it's got Penelope and a slimy tentacled beastie. In Their Nature looks good because of the drugging and tremendous amount of psychological torture that looks to be piled on Brigitte. Ballista, well, I'd still like to see her costume get shinier and tighter. But the villain looks promising, and Rick's plants tend to have a perverted side to them, so that should be good. I also agree that the new girl looks very nice. SOB 4 could be good, but I don't know. The movies are all on order (my distributer has a deal if you order all new ones at the same time), so we'll see. Rick, you might check out superheroinecentral.com (I think). They have pretty cool costumes.
Peace,
Iago

Comments: I gotta chime in about the reality/fantasy aspect. Yeah, I watch the film the first time through for the fantasy (and other things, of course) but after a few viewings I start to look at it in a different perspective. Ok, the actress is sitting there hanging by her wrists waiting for the next scene - just how does that feel and is she thinking "Geez I should've asked for more money..."? I remember when Lisa Kinkaid gave that quick Q&A a few months back and I'm glad she did it. I'd like to hear from some of the other performers and get their opinion of the films, how the shooting was done, would they change anything about their scenes, what would they like to see in their next film, and such like that. Maybe some "if I were a film producer, here's what I'd do" type stuff. Some behind-the-scenes memorable moments would be good too.

Sex toys in a ZFX film? Might be interesting if the plot were right. How about: abducting a pretty lady and training her to be a slave by giving her pain and/or pleasure using instruments, as a behavioral modification exercise. Good be a good reason to use kinky medical science, kind of like the "WhipShock" film series. I'm still waiting for someone to use a spiked metal wheel/ skin tenderizer, and Barbara Bayer might be just the right victim for it.

Hey, Mad Dog, good luck with that Multimedia class. I did some Fine Arts photography awhile back, developed my own film, "pushed" and "pulled" the exposure and other artistic things. It takes awhile to complete the projects, but a good shoot is its own reward.
Keep'em hanging.

Comments: Just to contribute my thoughts on this fantasy/reality matter. Yes, I think it would be great if some of the actresses from the films would contribute to this site. It would be interesting to get there take on how they feel, but only in this forum. When I watch the movies, the last thing on my mind is what the actress is actually thinking while they are filming. I have no desire to be pulled out of the fantasy of the movie for even one second, and the only time that I am is when the acting becomes really lousy and it抯 impossible to suspend disbelief. Thankfully that is why I love ZFX. Not that there aren抰 occasional moments of bad reactions on the part of the victims, but when compared to any other bondage films out there, there is just no one in ZFX抯 league. That抯 the whole point of these movies, or any movie for that matter. Your not supposed to try and imagine what the actor or actress is going through while filming a scene, your supposed to become engrossed in the reality the film is trying to create, not the reality of how it was on the set that day. These movies are a collaboration of the efforts of Rick and all the people involved to create something that you can抰 and shouldn抰 for many reasons experience in real life, so after I have forked over my money for one of them, the last thing I want to do is lessen the experience by trying to pull myself out of the reality the movie is trying to create. That抯 what makes them so great in the first place.

Comments: zee-ef-ex, Since I can't channel Rick's sentiments as you seem to be assuming to do :), all I can add is maybe the hand groping is done for the pleasure of the attacker and the insertions are for humiliation. As have said, these are just my personel opinions...dosen't make me right and you wrong or vis-versa.

Howie, While watching, I too like you, really could give a rat's ass of what the actors or actresses are thinking. But after the fact I very much would like to here from the participants. To get feedback, get a feel for where everything is headed. Not necessarily to hear exclusivly about a film in particular but thoughts and feelings in gerneral. I very much liked Lisa's comments the time or two when she posted. Would very much like to hear from others, even from those who no longer do the films. Amy especially. Anyway's just my two cents for the day. Keep posting, keep smiling, keep 'em hanging (upside down), and don't take things too seriously, 'cause my posts are never posted seriously.

Comments: Ok, here is something completely off topic, but remember that this forum is for discussion of all bondage films, not just ZFX, even though that is what is mostly discussed for obvious reasons. So while we are waiting around for the new releases I have a question. I recently ordered two videos from crusex.com and I was curious if anyone in the forum has ever ordered from them and if so what was your experience like. I am hearing from someone on another message board that I frequent that sometimes their videos just never show up. Has this happened to anyone in here?

Comments: Natasha at fantasyfood.com sent me an email stating that my copy of "Miss Ballista 2" shipped today and that my free magazine ("Training By Torture") will be sent along, too. Just thought I'd pass the word along that it looks like the new ZFX videos are in stock.

Comments: I'm new here, with few questions and comments. I think Rick's work is great. I especially enjoy the sweaty "wet" look many of the victim seem to have, and there always seems to be at least one good suspension scene in each of the flicks I've seen. My favorite actors are Lisa Kinkaid, Monica Moore, and Amy Van Allen. I agree with some of the comments about forced "stimulation". To me bondage is about sex and control, and what better way to exercise control than to invade someone's most intimate sensations. How about more taunting, teasing and tickling, progressing into the more brutal stuff? I like the idea of driving the point home of how helpless these women really are. The story would need to be right, though.

Three more questions... when will the website be updated, any plans for DVD releases, and are photo stills available for purchase? I appreciate the web pics, but something bigger and clearer would be nice.

Comments: Skull Chaser, Thanks for the info. Been laging, guess I'll have to get my order in soon.Howie, Hope you'll get your video's soon. Maybe it takes a little longer since they're coming from the Netherlands (My native soil). I'm surprized that Damien, my Dutch ZFX brethren, hasn't let us know about the site since it's out of Amsterdam (my memory fails, but I think I remember him saying that's where he's from. This vampire's from Rotterdam in case you're curious). Maybe he'll give us some insight if he reads this. Be sure to let us know how they are when you get them. I only stopped in for a second to check it out but looked interesting.

Ralphus, I think I remember reading that you like the idea of forced smoking (forgive me if this is not you. One thing you'll discover is I have no memory). Stumbled on to...I think it's binder.com where there is a few videos with this theme. Don't have anything from them so can't enlighten you with any kind of feedback to their work. If anyone knows, please give us some insights.

Sloan, nice to see new contributers to the forum.

Mad Dog, On one of your last posts you mentioned you'd like to see some female posters. I'm not sure when you started checking out the forum but we did have a couple for a short while. Silver and somebody else ....can't remember. I guess our (or at least mine) demented nature scared them off. Why not give some gentle nudging to your co-stars. I think those are the females most of the readers of the forum would want to here from anyway.

Comments: AvF: Yeah, thanks for the tip about Bindher's site. I have known Bindher for years and he is "one of me", meaning he likes bondage and also has a smoking fetish. He has recently gotten into making his own bondage vids and has tried to work both smoking and forced smoking into the plot a few times. I like his stuff; he does good work, although like most bondage producers, he is more into bondage and not into showing rape and torture like Rick does. The forced smoking scenes he has done are about as close as he comes to showing torture, but they are quite good, IMO. I used to post on his Discussion Page back when he used to have one on his site, and I used to promote ZFX tapes there long before this page was created. He told me he thought ZFX was "too harsh" (pussy!), although I can see his point in that ZFX vids are certainly not for everyone. For us pervos that can take it, however, they are nirvana! :o)

Like all the others, I would like to see some female posters here as well, or at least some new posters in general. Mad Dog, you have a great forum here. Maybe a few posts in the relevant newsgroups like alt.sadistic, alt.torture, etc., would bring some new people in. Always nice to share insights with new people. With the new tapes coming out soon, this would a good time to hook some new readers.

Comments: Ralphus, you just made me wonder something. Rick, just how difficult is it to get girls who will submit to the situations depicted in ZFX movies? I realize no one is really being injured or violated, but it seems to me that a lot of women would find the material just plain objectionable and refuse to do it. Do you have a lot of issues with this? Models who start and then don't finish productions, models who walk when they hear what is going to be expected of them, etc.?
Peace,
Iago

Comments: It's always interesting to learn about the process of hiring models/actresses for ZFX and related projects. The guy ("Ed Lee") who puts out the Nu-West/Flag Concept vids recently did a book on how he finds women for his discipline/bondage tapes. I haven't read it yet, but he's been doing it for 20 years so he must have a system down by now.Will miss The Gimp--thanks for the pioneer work. Looking forward to Mad Dog's riff on things.

re: Rick continuing to push the envelope: I guess it's all up to his attorneys! re: Insex.com. They seem to have settled into a rut of sorts. Focusing on pretty ropework instaed of inventive situations. Any thoughts on this?

Comments: I certainly agree with Sardu that Insex should give more attention to their situations. I would be much more excited by their images, movies, and live shows if they created the impression that the girls were taken by force and were being held and tortured against their will. That is one of the main reasons I mentioned earlier that I wish ZFX would join forces with Insex. Rick could certainly teach Insex a few things about incorporating the element of fantasy into their website! Other than that, I think Insex is a great website and probably the hottest I've found. I just upgraded to the latest version of Realplayer, version 8 beta, and was excited to find that this significantly improved the video and audio quality of the Insex movies. Their 320x240 broadband movies now look quite clear even when viewed full-screen.

Also, I wanted to thank Howie for telling us about the website, www.crusex.com. The website looks excellent and sells a huge number of videos about bondage, rape, and torture most of which I've never heard of. I just hope the site can be trusted to deliver the movies which are ordered as well as to sell originals instead of copies. I'll be anxious to hear whether you get your new videos and whether you like them, Howie. Good luck!

Comments: Hello from Oregon. New zfx's haven't reached video stores here yet. Anyone else having any luck. Thanks for the tip on crusex.com and insex.com. Why is it that we don't see the denmark videos from crusex in adult video stores over here? We have pretty much everything else.

Comments: Ralphus, Glad you were familiar w/bindHer.com since I left out the "H" in the address when I last posted. If you had not been familiar, and were interested I would have looked up the correct address for you though.Just got my order in for two of the new video's. Have got SOB4 and Ballista 2 on the way. I don't have any of either of the prior video's in the series yet. Will check these out and determine if worth picking up the earlier one's later. Any opinions or viewpoints would be appreiciated of course. Will also be looking forward to the reviews of the other new vids soon.

Comments: Just received Ballista 2 and SOB 4 today and thought I would share my first impressions with all of you. Firstly, the production quality is very good, so now we know where the time Rick spent with these movies went!

Ballista 2: I'm not that keen on superheroine fantasies, so I ordered this one mostly for some promising scenes shown in the preview pics. Newcomer Barbara Bayer is extremely cute and does a good performance, allthough she could be a little more vocal during the torture scenes. She shows a lot of potential for future movies, take good care of her, Rick! Lisa is just great (did anyone doubt that she would be??). The scene where she is suspended by wrists, whipped and tortured with a violet wand is worth the tape alone. The tape runs for almost two hours, including a 20 min re-cap of Ballista 1, but contains some lengthy dialogue scenes.

SOB 4: I consider this one the better of the two. If you like prison and interrogation style torture this is a must buy! Rape aficionados gets their money worth too, with Christina Anderson as the victim. All actresses performs well, but I would have liked to see more of my favourite Kim Noble. Memorable scenes includes a very severe rubber hose beating of Lisa, a standing, spread eagled whipping of Chistina and several scenes with Kelly Mackay in different, stringent positions. The preview of SOB 5 looks promising as well!

Comments: Per, Cool!, You got the same two I have coming. Balista 2 for the same reason. This can only mean that Ralphus's reviews on the other new vid's can't be that far off. Am looking forward to hearing about the rest. So far am not likely to get any of the others unless I hear some glowing review that thus far has not struck me with the vid caps I've seen and thus make me want to go out and get them. Any update on the ZFX site yet. My Adult Check expired and am not going to renew until I hear something good to make me want to renew.
Keep us posted
