How to order
Studio 2000 goes to the Czech Republic-- like everybody else. Working with a European crew, director John Travis
(Powertool, Tailspin) gets mixed results. The premise-- a gang of city boys head for the country, where
a taste of nature makes them frisky-- has been used before, and used better, in Czech and Hungarian gay adult videos. A cast of ten appealing young models, mostly uncircumcised and built like baseball rookies, manages
to sustain interest. Top billing goes to slender, chestnut-haired Josef Sladek, who in some shots looks like Tommy Rettig in Lassie.
Travis's sex scenes can turn cold, inert, and dutiful between blasts of real passion; he sometimes seems to deploy his models instead of directing them.
Payload exhibits his middle range. The hottest
passages occur in three successive duos, the best of which, the first, takes place in a Prague apartment. The final segment opens with a tantalizing bit where horny young men start pulling out their cocks in a moving van. This is, alas,
a prelude to a studied, mechanical bout of group sex (actually two three-ways 20 feet apart) in a big stone barn. There are times when the presence of cute Europeans just isn't enough.
