AVN.COM BUSINESS PROFILE - DVD Now Driving the Bang Bus: Bang Productions Discs Give New Life to BangBros.com Sites

Bang Bros.com Inc., the creators of the breakout hit Bang Bus, became a popular destination in recent years with its network of Websites that feature reality-based, hardcore content.

The continued success led the company in January to launch Bang Productions, which is now the exclusive producer of Bang Bros content on DVD.

“It basically was driven by our fans and the demand for our product and the constant requests to have a DVD version of what we had online,” Bang Productions President Penn Davis told AVN. “We began producing our own content online in the fall of 2000. We’ve been in adult since 1996-97. Prior to that we were just a small online company doing link-sites, and then we got into the membership subscription model.”

Davis graduated from college with a Bachelor’s Degree in Cultural Anthropology, and he was studying to complete his Masters Degree in Advertising when he started his adult Internet career.

Naturally, Davis made his first DVD in January, Bang Bus, Vol. 1, which features exclusive footage from the site re-packaged for DVD release.

Now Bang Productions is releasing one new DVD title per week.

Bang Bus entails director Dirty Sanchez and a male cohort cruising the streets in a pimped-out van and picking up unsuspecting girls who think they’re going to be paid for sex. After being thoroughly fucked, the girls get “kicked to the curb.”

Davis said the popularity of Bang Bus lies in the “uniqueness” of the product.

“It’s the type of product that combines just standard entertainment with adult entertainment,” he said. “It makes you laugh. There is a comedic element and also a sex element.

“It is definitely off the wall. Dirty Sanchez, who is the videographer for all the Bang Bus episodes, his sense of humor — it’s hard to label it. It’s completely off the cuff. It’s very situational, mocking traditional scenarios of foreplay and sex. It’s the kind of thing that you have to see to understand it.”

Bang Bros first content site was realbutts.com, which featured primarily solo girl material of masturbation and other naughty exploits with real amateurs.

Now the Bang Bros network includes over a dozen sites including: boobsquad.com, springbreakspycam.com, tugjobs.com, momsanaladventure.com, bigtitsroundass.com, monstersofcock.com, bigmouthfuls.com, bangbrosworldwide.com, the recently launched assparade.com, baitbus.com and milflessons.com.

Bait Bus, the gay companion to Bang Bus, entails “straight guys” getting into the van where an attractive girl talks them into being blindfolded, and then the “bait and switch” is pulled with a guy.

Davis benefits from companion Websites for all of the DVD content. Several of the sites have already had volumes converted to DVD. Bang Productions has released three editions of Tug Jobs and one volume of Spring Break Spy Cam. And the company plans to debut Ass Parade 1 and 2 in May.

But Davis said that Bang Bus is by far his most popular line.

“That’s the one that is recognized the most,” he said. “When a retailer is asking for Bang Bros DVD content, they usually order a certain quantity of every single title because all of the content gets rave reviews and it’s easy to sell this stuff. When people are ordering, they order X amount of the entire allotment, even though Bang Bus might be the most recognizable.”

By the end of April, Davis said Bang Productions plans to have 33 DVD titles on the streets. The company’s April releases are: Boob Squad Vol. 5 (April 7), Big Mouthfuls 5 (April 14), Bang Bus, Vol. 6 (April 28).

“It’s been going great, especially since the AVN show,” Davis said, referring to the Adult Entertainment Expo in January. “We had a great experience at the show. It was a combo of interacting with fans and customers alike. It was a great experience in our first time exhibiting.”
