At 199 minutes, Climaxxx TV 3 has a lot going for it in terms of talent and hardcore, erection-inducing on-screen sex. Big names pepper the cast and highlight each scene, and, on paper, everything should've flowed together for four easy A's.

Unfortunately, such is not the case. Technically speaking, this disc simply has too many problems to overcome. First and exceedingly foremost, the widescreen footage is presented in a native 4:3 aspect ratio. That means each standing guy looks seven feet tall, and each bent bitch looks vertically smushed in all the wrong places. Secondly, the obtrusive and repetitive soundtrack is irrepressible. Lastly, two of the four scenes are so overwrought with harsh microphone noise that every moan and groan is literally painful to hear.

Still, you get three double-teams and a pair of nasty d.p.'s starring Sandra Romain and blonde Staci Thorn.

So it can't be all bad.

Retailing: Fans of these starlets won't mind the technicalities.
