AMY!,AMY!,AMY!...An extra one for good measure ;)

Later.

Anyways,could make for some interesting visuals. Combine regular filming with the hand held night vision and immediately a few things come to mind....such as a home invasion with the attacker sneaking upon a sleeping victim in the bedroom....or some jittery Blair Witch type photography.

Let the mind wander.

Later.

Evil Man Beyond Driven 2 (I think is the name), where in order to prevent the huge black dildo from going further up her ass, the blonde actress lying down tied on her back on the weightlifting bench has to keep the weights elevated...but she gradually loses strength and gives up, allowing the dildo in...

Toolbox Abductions 2, where Chandra is tied on her hands and knees to the bedframe, with the handles of, yet again, a set of weights pressing down on the back of her head, so that the huge dildo is deep in her mouth. She keeps trying and trying to lift the weights with her head, but she isn't strong enough and eventually settles down and takes the dildo fully into her throat (or so it is implied)...and

Ballista 2 (why is it always the No.2 of a series) where not Lisa, but that beautiful actress who had the shower masturbation scene, and the raped by a plant scene, is tied near the end of the movie in a manner in which, if she can keep her right leg high enough, the rope between her cunt lips won't be too tight, but she tires and lets her leg down, pulling on the rope and yanking it tightly against her clit...

There are probably other examples. IMHO, these are amongst Rick's greatest scenes, and I hope he stays creative and comes up with more of these. They are diabolical, in the way the actress has the choice as to how much torment she will suffer. It feeds right in to my enjoyment of the psychological aspect of these flicks, i.e. wondering when the victim is just going to give up and surrender to the inevitable. That's another climactic aspect to these scenes as well, when the actress visibly gives in, and accepts her torment. Chills, man, chills (grin)...

So okay Rick, you have your marching orders - a victim is taken down by a group of guys, raped gangbang style, with lots of fetishy moments, and lots of weird tyings where she struggles against her torment and then gives in. At least, that's the next ZFX movie I'd like to see. Anyone else?

zee-ef-ex:

I like the type scenes you mention though they work best when the dildo, for example, is positioned to penetrate the victim's pussy or ass---more of a humiliation/violation than in the mouth.

As I mentioned months ago Iīd like the idea of a scenario inside a workout room. The butterfly would offer a great opportunity if you imagine a girl tied to it. Combine this with a device Iīd call "legspreader" (itīs for exercises on the inner thights muscles): The more her legs open because she could not hold against the weights the more a dildo presses into her pussy.

The story could start with a girl doing exercises on such a machine. Her "coach" stands beside her as suddenly metal clamps are closing around her wrists and ankles. Now the coach who appears to be the bad guy, gags her and then increases the weights only to sit down in front of her and watch her trying to keep her legs closed. Of course she canīt resist for long and he can start his wicked games ...

Just my two cents. Jaeckill

Dude, that sounds excellent. Rick, are you listening? I am well familiar with the weightlifting machines you are referring to, and I think what you suggest should be easily doable, and quite sexy.

I love when multiple threads come together. Gang, I love spread-eagle bondage, whether it be when the woman is flat on her back in the bed, or standing, or, as Jaeckill suggests, sitting and tied, with arms and legs spread, on a weight machine. I have watched Vostock Core several times, and while I cannot remember most of that movie, the scene which keeps bringing me back to it is the beginning one. Chandra is tied as I recall standing with her arms and legs spread wide, wearing a short, colorful skirt and colorful ball gag (I like color as a fetishistic element), with a strap around her neck, tied to the ceiling, and looking as beautiful and vulnerable as ever.

So yes, for my money Vostock Core is worth the price for that scene alone. And, Rick, if you are able, please consider Jaeckill's suggestion for more "She's got to hold back the weights on the exercise machine, otherwise she will be sexually impaled" gym scenes. Spread-eagled, she controls her own fate bondage, yes. Yummy, yummy, yummy.

Been busier than hell, just wanted to drop a quick line to update you on how things are coming. Still working on Ballista 3, though it is getting very close to completion. The website is still being worked on, taking longer than expected(what else is new), but its getting there. There will be 10 movies to start. I'm not going to try to speculate dates at this point, as soon as I have a firm date I'll post it. I wish I had time to address the many questions and comments here, but unfortunately, today, I dont. Once I get some of this stuff done I'll have more time to post. I do read everything posted though, and appreciate the many people who take the time to share their thoughts. Back to the grind stone! Thanks to all those who read here, post and watch the movies, and of course to Ralphus for keeping it all going here!

Rick

I saw Frontline last week on PBS. Subject was "American Porn". For those of you in the USA check your local listings to see when it will be repeated because it's pretty relevant to the future of ZFX and related companies we enjoy

The above link will take you to a good overview of the show.

Bottom line is that Attorney General John Ashcroft and company were preparing some serious prosecutions of the porn industry late last August before the September shit storm hit. That campaign has been delayed some, but is far from dead. I for one really do not want to see this land turning into England, for example, where the kinkiest video you're allowed to buy is some lame caning story. Brace yourselves.

Rick: I wouldn't mind, just for the hell of it, to learn what kind of video and editing set-up you currently work with (DV? PAL? betacam? Avid? Finao Cut Pro? etc). Thanks.

I don't know if it was mentioned yet, but FantasyFood is having a sale on a bunch of older ZFX titles right now. You may wish to check it out.

Come to think of it, does anyone have any recommendations for where to find the least expensive ZFX buying opportunity?

Peace,

Iago

I was also amazed at the far-reaching Box Cover and Movie Production Guidelines or the so-called "Cambria List", written by the porn industry's lawyer, which is a list of sex acts that are considered taboo for filming to avoid trouble with the Justice Department. Among them were no bondage, no depiction of pain, no forced sex, no degrading dialogue, etc., etc. It's just so ridiculously self-censoring that it virtually eliminates any possible deviation from pure vanilla sex. Where does that leave ZFX?

As for the possibility of ZFX being prosecuted, I suppose your average John and Mary Beercan would be offended by a ZFX show, given the harsh depictions of how the women are tortured and raped. But there is one glaring difference in what ZFX produces and the rest of what is being tapped as "porn" on that program: ZFX does not show any hardcore footage in any of their tapes. None. No dicks invading pussies or assholes. It's all simulated. The dicks are all fake. It's all realistically filmed illusions.

Nonetheless, it looks like the battle against adult entertainment is just beginning. And get used to it. Bush's latest popularity poll put him at an approval rating of over 80%. Unless things change, we can probably look forward to seven more years of Republicans in the White House.

Ralphus, that's a real good summary of the show. I think Cambria is erring on the side of extreme caution, but you know something is up when Larry Flynt himself is treading (rolling?) carefully. True, the Republicans are plenty pissed at him for spoling their fun during the Clinton impeachment circus--remember the dirt Larry dug up on a few prominent GOP poster boys?

I'd never heard of Extreme Associates before either. The bondage stuff they mention is mostly likely on their pay-per-view site which I have not checked out. As always I stand back, waiting for you to join and review the site. I'll save my allowance for "Ballista 3" ;)

Brother Jeb could always trump up bogus charges against a certain Orlando-area pornographer and wear him down in endless legal battles. Let's hope not.

Bush's popularity now is because he's perceived as standing firm in the face of national enemies in a time of crisis. His dad's popularity after the Gulf war was around 80%, IIRC, and look what happened to him once things settled down and people remembered the whole "no new taxes" thing.

So far as Repubican censorship goes, it is always there, but it's really going to come down to 2 things. First, what will the courts decide? With Dems in power for most of the past decade, I think it will take time for anything beyond harassment to happen. The second thing is, how much harassment can the industry endure? The big mainstream companies are pretty vanilla to start with, so their size and blandness will protect them. I think Reps generally end up wounding the little guys the most. Small business always suffers under republicans, and nowhere is that more obvious than in "taboo" areas like niche adult entertainment. From that point of view, I can see Rick keeping a wary eye on the movements of the conservative republicans.

Bleah. Long post. Sorry.

Regarding urination, Rick has slowly been adding that element to his tapes in various scenes. The most obvious example is in the modern-day classic South of the Border 4: Atrocities, where Lisa Kinkaid is zapped with a stun gun to the pussy and gushes out a huge stream. He literally shocks the piss out of her! :) I've always wondered if the pissing in that scene was real or simulated (probably the latter), but it was a convincing illusion, regardless. Next time you post, Rick, try to address how that scene was shot, if you care to give away your secret. Thanks.

Well, I just found out that he has shot, edited, and boxed 11 vids, 6 of which have been copied for release. He says they will be offered in the next couple of weeks at his site: http://www.bondage.tv

I haven't seen any of his vids yet, but he reports that they incoporate penetration, for those of you who are fans of that.

If ZFX is the topic, well...then this message is off topic. But if hard bd/sm is the topic...

Here some revieuws of tapes from my private collection I recently rewatched.

Japanese Thriller #7 An accountant is sent on a job by her boss. But is's a setup. She gets drugged, chained, caned, bound, abused...all the good stuff. But her boss is in for a surprise too. This tape has a very weird streak, especially with the japanese Jim Carry look-alike. One of my favorites, highly recommended. Japanese Thriller #31 One of the weirdest storylines (if any at al) that I ever saw. But maybe that's because I don't speak Japanese. Lots of differents stuff: bondage, whipping, masochisme, even a noose. Something for everyone in this one. But very hard to keep focused. Like most japanese tapes, this one is excelently produced again. Collector private sessions Schoolgirl almost gets raped, but is rescued by her teacher....who gets bound and raped in her place. Schoolgirl and girlfriend come to the rescue in an attempt to safe her, but they find her only after the wicked rapist is done with his job. And this is only the start of the tape...... Later, the teacher get tricked in visiting the rapist at his house, and finds out the hard way that he owns his own private dungeon....with lots of toys, plenty of chains and all the rope he needs. A desperate escape attempt fails. Student goes out to investigate, and attempts to recue her teacher. Now we know that's never a good move in a bondage video, don't we???? Great storyline, excellent acting, perfect production...Nothing bad I can say about this one. Bondage, rape, forced to submit, escape attempt, vibrator play, dildo's, 2 beautifull victims, girl-girl-action...this one has it all. CINEMAGIC NOIR: cn 259: http://www.cinemagic-usa.com/image/cn259.jpg Why bother with a storyline. This tape has over one hour of different babes in different binds; Ropes, gags, candlewaxing, suspension, vibratorplay, crotchtie, hogtie. In other words: The good stuff. All hig-quality produced by the excellent producer Cinemagic. Even without a storyline, never a dull moment here. Atackers: Attackers 12: (JB-012) Schoolgirl gets caught in class with a BD-magazine. In a flashback, we see how she finds it at the table when she comes home. Then she hears some noice from the bedroom, and finds her mom bound on the bed, beeing whipped and candlewaxed at the same time, with a nicely tied vibrator in her buthole. As the girl tells this to her teacher, he sasy he'll take her to the right man to see about this proble. And he does...... Of course, this is a trap. She finds her mother already beeing bound, and now they have her too.....Both women are tormented, while the other is allowed to watch, and of course tormented together too. One of the best! Highly recommended! Strickt bondage, whipping, suspension, dildo's, clothspins...need I go on? Yes..I do....Also comes with previews of other Attackers. Damien

Now Collector's Private Sessions, which was personally recommended to me by the guy who runs Video Mayhem, is an awesome flick! I thought I was the only one to have seen that. Among the many highlights was the lady being tied up naked and force-fed liquid through a funnel in her mouth (shades of Bridgette Bayonne's forced coffee scene in Ballista 2), upside-down whipping, candle waxing and a unique chair-like device where she was strapped in and has a huge metal dildo forced up into her that her torturer controls with a crank on the machine. I want a machine like that! It's movies like this that further justify my claim that the Japanese make the best bondage films in the world.

Sorry those reviews did not turn up on the screen (lay-out wise) as I had in mind. If I post more (that is: if anybody is interested at all), I'll do a better job.

Ralphus: Very good observation: I agree that some tapes I reviewed originate most likely from VM.But I got my hands on a copy through a little swapping I keep myself busy with. And since you seem to have seen your share of Japanese stuff, would you please share your sentiments on some of those with us???

Jap. Thriller #7: If an other actress would have been in it, it might very well have slipped my mind, but the way this girl acts out the whole process of slowly beeing broken down mentally, makes this one still very memorable, IMHO.

Damien

Regarding VM, what has been your experience in quality of their tapes? I notice that all of them are the same price ($12), and judging by some of the titles I recognize, they can't be originals.

Also, are the Japanese tapes the type that censor frontal nudity? Those are kind of a drag. Thanks!

Thanks for all the good information!

If you don't mind the violence and perversion tapes coming from europe, drop me a private email, and I might be able to get you original factury made copies of those.

Damien

That Red Gang link was somewhat helpful to me. The main problem I have with the site is that it's sometimes still hard to make out what the actual title is, and the box covers are not always an indication as to what's really in the tape. As far as the attractiveness of the girls, that's never been a problem for me. I've never seen an ugly Japanese girl in any of their tapes. I think they're all cute! That's just one of the reasons why so many Japanese vids are winners. They start with real cute girls, tie them right, torture them roughly and usually rape them, too. The pixillation? I can live with it. Like Howie mentioned, the attributes usually overwhelm any of the annoyances of optical censoring.

BTW Howie, I edited the best scenes from your Tojiro tapes long ago. I just never heard back from you the last two times I e-mailed you. I thought you might have died. And you're not the only one who knows how to make colored posts, Hot Shot! :)

Friends,

Like I'm sure many of us do, I have my own BD-"holy grale": That one tape you dream of ever finding. Hopefully, one of the many connaisseurs on this board can help me find it.

I ownd a few japanese tapes. Amongst these are Bondage Battle 2,3,4,5.

Those of us you ho know them are the only ones who might help me, so I won't bother the rest with reviewing them (that is...for now)

BB #2 differs in many ways from 3 - 5, and is amongst my favorite jap. tapes.

As you might have guessed by now, I'd LOVE to get my hands on BB #1. Never found it offered online so far.

Anybody???

Please???

D.

Ralphus: any chance you straighten this out???

Damien
