Director William Higgins' "Class Reunion" ends with what is certainly one of the most indelible images in porn history -- a 20-man daisy-chain. If what leads up to it is perhaps a little too frenzied at times, it's still a superlative example of group sex. As the director yells "Action!" a group of young men circle around a motorcycle and marvel at it. The bike is, apparently, a prize they are competing for by participating in the reunion. The young men then run toward the pool, quickly disrobe, and jump in the cool water. Thus begins a no-holes-barred poolside orgy.
The cast of performers contains some of the best known names of the early-1980s era: Aaron Gage, that boyish and versatile brunet; Leo Ford, the tall blond with the power dick; Michael Christopher, with his oral prowess and topman gifts; and Giorgio Canali, who could be the daddy of the group with his rough masculine aura. Many of the men have the classic blond and tanned California look, but it is truly a diverse crowd. What Higgins captures best here is the frenetic passion of an orgy -- where everyone is a willing participant. Kisses in the pool quickly lead to dicks in mouths. In a typical moment, a blond on his back kissing another hunk while a brunet below him takes his meat down his throat. Michael Christopher stands and passionately bangs another blond before planting his cum on the bottom's back in slow-motion. Giorgio Canali lets a fella feast on his dick, before having the lad sit on his lap and take a joyride. Rimming and 69 is the prelude for some incredibly athletic fucking here, inside and outside of the water. And so on.
It truly seems like all the men get a turn with the other somehow. Partners are interchanged frequently and no one in the mix seems trade. Better yet, more than half the group eagerly offers up an open ass. It can be confusing determining who is doing what to whom, though. "Class Reunion" is edited so that the action jumps around from one pairing to another, and at any given time there are 10 pairings or so. Still, it's exciting to watch them, seemingly tireless and full of spunk, willing to shoot their loads more than once. "Class Reunion" features condom-less fucking and oral cum-shots, many of the guys hungrily lapping the juice of the others. In one of the better moments, a performer jerks himself to a gushing load, dropped on and in another's mouth, then drops down so that they can kiss and both have a taste.
But "Class Reunion" is probably best remembered for its closing daisy-chain. The lads dive into a sucking-circle as easily and as readily as they have dived into the pool. The camera does a 360 as they give and take with aplomb, hoisting their hardons down a welcoming throat while they gag on the cock in line in front of them. It's a lengthy sequence, too, with the 20 performers not letting up for a moment, before they disband, pose for the camera, and then jump back in the water. They eventually step out and get dressed as the scene comes to an end and the performers talk about reuniting.
DVD features: Chapter selections; slide-show gallery; and a scene from "CatalinaVille," directed by Josh Eliot. The scene begins with Cole Tucker being seduced by Cliff Parker during the time of what looks to be some sort of Olympic leather games. Cole pulls out Cliff's beautiful dick and goes to work on it, elegantly tonguing each and every inch. Contestants Steve Rambo, Tony Zerega, Antonio and Max Grand catch the action and decide to get in on the fun. Rambo puts on a hood so that he will not be recognized by the others and leaps on Cliff's erection, taking the place of Tucker, who by now has been snatched up by the other guys. Cole's dick leaps out of his clothes and into a set of jaws, before asses begin to open up for business. This is a wonderfully masculine set of men, and their screwing is decadent. Parker bangs into the hooded Rambo, who holds onto a rail as his ass is stretched open. Antonio stuffs the rear of Zerega, who vocally challenges his partner to give him more. Best of all, Cole squats down and takes a doggy-fuck from Grand, his dick bouncing forward as Max's balls spark his buns. Tucker's prowess as a top is complemented by the performer's willingness to take it like a man. And the cum-shots are excellent, with Antonio squirting his jism all over the mouth and face of what appears to be a cum-starved Zerega.
