A clever, sometimes hilarious, gonzo-style feature staged as a behind-the-scenes documentary on the early days of Extreme Associates' so-called "Hostile Takeover" of the industry.

In the most stroke-worthy segments, a seven-on-one "mini reverse-gangbang" finds lucky Luciano the recipient of some mean cock-sucking and spirited cowgirl; bored "script girl" Tiffany Mynx commands Van Damage's full attention in the Extreme warehouse; and Earl Slate and Tom Byron violate Jasmin St. Claire (some of her best work to date) one-on-one in separate scenes.  A sequence with Luciano, Lady Olivia Outré and Eden is notable for its rare (though perfectly legal) combination of domination, mild discipline and hardcore sex, including some crisply-lensed oral and anal.

Things drag a bit here and there (a lengthy phone conversation between St. Claire and Black goes on waaay too long) but it's more than compensated for by the vid's strengths.  Chief among these is director Waters' ability to shoot within the framework of the script while obviously encouraging spontaneity and improvisation: You just can't rehearse a scene like the Regan Senter/Nina Whett model "audition" and have it play as (disturbingly) well as it does here.  Ditto for the Lizzie Borden/Byron opener ("You shoot outside, you get flies," says Byron), as well as Rob Black's numerous "tirades" and smarmy, low-key commentary and under-the-table solicitations of talent throughout the show.

Pre-noms to Waters for direction; to Ezra for editing and 13-Music for the soundtrack; to Rob Black for an outstanding non-sex turn; to Jasmin St. Claire for Most Outrageous Sex Scene; and the whole shebang for Best Sex Comedy.
