In this 1997 release by director Kristen Bjorn, the revered director took a cast of 16 European and Brazilian studs, plunked them into the middle of the Costa Rican rainforest (actually a private estate), and, though the production underwent some incredible logistical and natural difficulties, came up with one of his best productions ever.
Among the difficulties Bjorn encountered was the cancellation of direct flights from Brazil to Costa Rica, shortly before filming was to begin, making the trip arduous for the Brazilian models, including 20-hour plus layovers at some stops. Ironically, the models from Europe had a shorter trip.
Bjorn also laments in his commentary (included in the photo gallery feature on this DVD) that he wanted to create "mythical creatures, such as centaurs," to illustrate the myths about the spirits that inhabit the rain forest in South America -- using morphing, among other special effects -- but the high cost of the effects was prohibitive. No matter, the production certainly stands on its own, even without the high-tech enhancements. Although you have to wonder what a director like Bjorn could do with all of those special effects if he had the budget -- maybe one day he'll have the opportunity.
In the opening scene, a voiceover indicates that the soldiers in the jungle are actually supposed to be in Peru. One of them (Alfonso Ribeiro) is bitten by a poisonous snake, and then he sits down and writes out his fantasies to work out the venom. Okay, so that part isn't all that logical.
His first story is about two hunky horsemen (Gaspar Moreno and Rogerio Peixoto) who stop in the jungle to practice the Brazilian art of capoeira, the dance-combat hybrid. They strip down to tiny white bikinis before the action starts, and when the sweat pops out on their bodies, they repair to the shade of a nearby tree and really start to go at it -- first with hot kisses, then blowjobs. Both of the cappuccino-skinned studs are incredibly well-hung, and they are ruggedly handsome as well. They work their way over to their horses again, and Peixoto uses his to lean on while Moreno rims him beautiful brown ass. But they are not alone. They are being watched by a third, lighter-skinned stud, who they chase down and catch when they discover his subterfuge. As they run, one stud with his still-erect cock bobbing in the air, the other with a hardon straining against the pouch of his bikini, you wonder why anyone would try to get away. Of course, they catch their quarry, strip him down, and in no time the two studs are having their way with his willing mouth and ass. Multiple loads are spilled, and in the rather romantic ending to the scene, the three share the two horses and ride off into the sunset together.
By now our snake-bitten soldier has drifted into hallucinations. His fantasies take him to his buddy, hairy stud Paulo Marquez, and they share a cigarette together in the jungle. The line between dreams and reality becomes further blurred, and his friend vanishes. Another gorgeous stud appears, naked, and quickly jerks off, blowing a nice load for the soldier. Another jerk-off fantasy follows, this time with Adriano Sabroso, a handsome hunk whose thick dick shoots a load of jizz into the rushing stream he wades in.
Then, Sabroso is joined by hairy, handsome, blue-eyed hunk Mateo Torres, who first sucks Sabroso, and then slams his uncut dick into him. Bjorn gets great footage of the insertion in a below-the-action shot. These guys shoot so many loads of cum together that it's easy to lose count. However, the two most memorable ones appear in tandem. The first is a huge load that is coaxed out of Sabroso's dick while he is sitting on Torres's erection -- Torres does the old reach-around, jerking Sabroso off as he fucks Sabroso's open ass from below. The other occurs while the two are standing -- both studs cum in the patented Bjorn hands-free way, and as one uncut dick is beginning to flag, the other shoots, leaving each dick slimy with ounces (or so it seems) of cum.
Next, two hairy soldiers (Claudio Marino and Mauro Amaral) perform an unforgettable 69 in the jungle, ending in an explosive and voluminous load from Amaral. A jungle spirit (Pedro Pandilla) has been spying on them, and joins in for a three-way suck scene with Pandilla catching both loads of cum while he kneels between the two hunks. Then the two studs turn the tables, and Marino sticks his five-o'-clock-shadow-covered mouth into the cheeks of the spirit's ass while Amaral deep-throats him. The scene ends with a three-way fuck with Pandilla in the middle, and Bjorn once again gets some beautiful shots of the sideways penetration. For the finale, Marino blows a big, wet load all over Pandilla's low-slung balls, drenching them with cum.
Franck Roy, Sandor Vesanyi and Fernando Lopez are lolling around naked and face down on pool floats when Paulo Marquez wanders into the next scene. The three wet studs drag Marquez into the pool with them, and, in one of the most inventive sex acts in the entire production, they hold him afloat on his back while they take turns sucking his dick. At the end, Marquez shoots a mini-fountain of cum that rains down on his hairy lower abs and floats away. The foursome dries off and goes into the manor house, and the scene continues, with blond Vesanyi becoming the centerpiece for a four-way fuck. Hard to believe that (as Bjorn says in his commentary) these guys really didn't get along, and although they didn't speak the same language, they managed to convey their dislike of one another with rude gestures. Guess sex is the great equalizer.
There certainly doesn't seem to be that kind of barrier in the short scene that follows. Gorgeous black hunk Antonio Rojas (again according to Bjorn) suggested that it might be hot if his partner in the scene, the hunky Eastern European stud Yuri Breshnev, fucked him with a banana. Bjorn upped the ante, using a plantain instead (they're bigger and harder, after all). The collaboration of ideas turned into the second most memorable and inventive scene in the production.
In the last scene Antonio Sabroso, Victor Garanon, and Antonio Rojas try to help Ribeiro work out the snake's venom through making him cum several times. Maybe it's not the most effective method of drawing out venom, but it's certainly a lot more fun that using a knife, and Ribeiro ain't complainin', that's for sure. In the end, Ribeiro disappears with the others, becoming a spirit of the jungle himself, a nice way to end the tale.
