Ripped — A Bathroom Fantasy is the actual title in the credits of this Paul Norman production, and the word "bathroom" in the title is absolutely critical to describing the product. Many customers will be turned on by the idea of an entire video shot in a public restroom, but they won't know this fact from looking at the box, which attractively but misleadingly depicts Steve Cody posing with some barbed wire. There is a lot of quality and imagination in this straightforward production ghost-directed by Chi Chi LaRue. While not quite the ultimate T-room epic that the public has been waiting for, Ripped comes mighty close, as it follows various pairs and a trio getting naked and banging away in a large but somewhat unrealistic men's room set. The best scenes are those that make some use of the bathroom fixtures — like a very hot mutual seduction at the urinals by Slater and Jim Blackburn (who is misidentified as "Don" on the box and "Danny" in the credits). Lighting and photography are particularly good, and British import Aiden Shaw is stunning. A winner, albeit an oddly packaged one.
