"Splash Shots III: To the Hilt" is the quintessential Falcon movie. Scads of tanned young men frolicking by a pool, their shiny muscles glistening in the sunlight. And even though Falcon did not invent gay-porn-by-the-pool, they have done more than any other studio to preserve and perfect the genre. Here, as in its predecessors, "Splash Shots" (1984), and "Giant Splash Shots II" (1987), porn legend Jim Bentley appears. Now, think about it, it has been nearly two decades since the first flick was made, and Jim must have an aging picture, à la Dorian Gray, in his attic -- he looks amazing. However, that is getting way ahead of the story (as written by Chris Steele).
It's a simple narrative, really: Two men, amid horseplay with a Frisbee, accidentally toss the toy over a 10-foot fence into the neighbor's estate. So the scoundrels, Roland Dane and Derek Cameron, jump over the fence to retrieve the errant toy. It is -- of course! -- found near the sparkling pool. But before they jump back over the fence they decide to suck face. Lip-locking leads to cocksucking to finger-fucking to butt-plugging. First, with a water hose (Derek doing a good job of jetting the water out of his hole with the force of a fire hose), and then with Roland's uncut dick. Roland screws Derek missionary and doggy atop a fire-engine red picnic table. Derek cums while being fucked and Roland, with the assistance of Derek's hand, jerks off covering Derek's ripped abs with cum. They hear the gardener approaching (who just happens to be riding around the grounds on a big green lawn mower naked, mind you). So the interlopers bolt (leaving their cherished Frisbee behind).
Charlie Moore is the naked gardener, and what a handsome gardener is he. He's tall and well-built and provides an absolutely gorgeous sight to behold as he struts across the lawn to retrieve the Frisbee -- his rock-hard dick pointing toward the sun. (He looks like an Ivy League rugby player.) Later, poolside, he asks his buddies if they lost a blue Frisbee. They say no, and begin sucking each other's dicks. The buddies: Joe Foster, a very sexy muscular man with a thick pink cock, and Robert Collins, a black bodybuilder with the smoothest skin ever seen on a human being. Impressed with the silky skin and big dick, Charlie rubs suntan lotion all over Robert's broad back and then rubs his mouth all over his big black cock. As Charlie works on Robert from below, Robert takes a licking to Joe's fat dick above. Then Joe rims Charlie's hairy crack before fucking him doggy on a chaise lounge. Robert finishes Charlie off with a missionary-fuck (as he chomps on Joe's bone again as Joe stands over Charlie). Hot men. Hot scene. Didn't expect Charlie to be such a hungry bottom. Way to go, Charlie!
Charlie, it turns out, is not just the gardener -- he's the head groundskeeper, and he instructs his crew of plucky workers to finish up their work and not to get sidetracked by tomfoolery. Well, as soon as he leaves, the tomfoolery (and cocksucking, rimming and fucking) begins. The crew consists of venti-sized and latte-colored bodybuilder Matthew Rush, blond hottie Tommy Brandt, pretty-boy Josh Harting (the box cover model), and cute-as-a-button Jason Hawke. They all trade blows and rims in various configurations before Matthew reverse-sit-fucks Jason, and Josh doggy-fucks blond bombshell Tommy Brandt. Yowza! Tommy, who bears a resemblance to porn star Billy Brandt, hence the same last name, has a great body and big muscular pecs and big cherry-red lips. (He's definitely one to be on the lookout for in future productions.)
After his crew has departed, Charlie invites Josh Weston to come on over to chill out by the pool. Josh agrees and brings along horse-hung Daniel Montes, bad-boy Justin Dragon and slim-goodie Brad Benton. Josh is a muscular V-shaped man with zero-percent body fat, an ass so high and tight it will make you cry just looking at it, and a nice hard dick. Daniel, how can I find the words, looks like one of those Versace models (you know the ones I mean, the ones from those ads where you wonder if men THAT gorgeous really exist). Justin Dragon is a lean goateed fellow with a long slim dick and dark chest hair. Brad Benton is the cute Energizer Bunny of the group, he lights up at the sight of a big dick. Needless to say, with this bunch, he was zipping here and there and everywhere -- gobbling cock and getting fucked at every turn. As in the previous four-way with Matthew, Tommy, Josh and Jason, these guys tear into dicks, assholes and such with abandon (Daniel and Josh are especially vigorous in their trading of blows in a wild 69, Daniel alternates sucking on Josh's dick and asshole with equal measure). It is just about then that Jim Bentley returns. He is apparently the owner of the house because as he comes upon the four guys sucking and licking by the pool, he stomps his foot and says: "What's going on here?!" The horndogs ignore him, so he pulls out his dick and starts jerking. He then dives for Daniel's big bone (good choice!). The trading of blowjobs and rimjobs continues. Then Daniel slams a missionary-fuck into Josh. This sequence is great, with great camera angles as Josh spreads ‘em wide for Daniel. Then, standing, Jim fucks Brad. Charlie gets missionary-fucked by Daniel. Then Justin fucks Brad. Then Justin fucks Brad. Then everyone dumps their loads on Brad's torso. "Splash Shots III: To the Hilt" is a more than worthy addition to the series. And, as mentioned earlier, it is astonishing that Jim Bentley looks as good (if not better) than he looked in the early-80s. What's even more impressive is that Falcon has shown restraint with this excellent franchise, and hasn't produced countless follow-ups year after year. All in all, this was another outstanding effort from Falcon. Among the most successful elements was the variety of models -- from chocolate-brown bodybuilders to golden-haired beach boys to strapping collegiate types. What more could anyone want? Some of the handsomest men in America come together for some very vigorous sex. And the one who you'd never expect to take it up the ass winds up getting fucked at both ends of the flick. This is a wonderfully easygoing flick with beautiful newcomers and voracious veterans. I will be watching this one over and over again for years to come -- it's bound to become yet another Falcon classic.
A Video Review by Butch Harris
The folks at Falcon have dusted off an old title for their latest release. It's been 18 years since Splash Shots (1984) was released and only 15 since Giant Splash Shots II (1987) came out. And Star Wars fans think they have to wait a long time in between sequels! Director Chi Chi LaRue carries on the tradition of the earlier videos, focusing the sexual action around a gorgeous pool filled with even more gorgeous men. She's even managed to snag an original cast member from the first two videos to make an appearance in this latest one. The sun is shining, the pool is open, and the boys are fucking. So crank up the A/C, because this one is gonna scorch your VCR.
Buff and shirtless, Roland Dane and Derek Cameron are playing Frisbee until they accidentally throw it too far, and it ends up in the neighbor's pool. In the vacant yard, Cameron pushes a stunned Dane into the crystal clear water, resulting in the playful pair making out on a nearby picnic table. Blond dickpig Cameron is soon deep-throating Dane's uncut bone like a starving dog. Dane sucks and fingers Cameron at the same time before working a running garden hose up the blond bottom's hairless hole. Cameron waters the lawn with his asshole sprinkler and then gets his ass plowed good and hard by the muscular Dane. Cameron ends up coating his throat, pecs and abs with his own cum while Dane squirts his load on him as well. After the loving, the two studs take a dip and discuss the owner of the house and the legendary orgies that he supposedly held at the pool. The sound of an approaching lawn mower scares the pair off, and they leave.
The lawn mower is operated by handsome maintenance man Charlie Moore, who appears to do yard work naked and boned. He lets his friends Joe Foster and Robert Collins come over and use the pool while the owner is out of town. After discussing the appearance of the Frisbee, Moore munches on Foster's well-packed Speedo while rubbing suntan lotion on Collin's back. Collins' thick black rod gets slurped on next by Moore while Collins deep-throats Foster's gorgeous cock. Foster is soon tonguing Moore's hairy crack before he slides his fat rod up there. He rides the bottom boy hard, long-dicking him for a while before Collins takes a turn and shoves his horse cock into the begging bottom. Collins' muscle body thrusts hard as he plows Moore and sucks on Foster at the same time. Just when you don't think you can take any more of the sizzling action, all three studs shoot their loads onto Foster's hot bod. After some post-coital smooching, they all take a dip in the pool to rinse off. I have only one word of advice for maintenance man Moore - chlorine!
Moore tells his crew, Josh Harting, Jason Hawke, Tommy Brandt and Matthew Rush, to finish up the yard work before the owner gets home. Instead of working, the young hotties get a little behind in their work - okay, they get a lot of behind! Once Moore is gone, the studs frolic in the sun naked, groping their growing hard-ons before the action begins. Little blond Brandt gets a mouthful of massive Rush while Hawke makes headway on supercute Harting's gorgeous bone. The guys switch partners often in this segment, with everyone sucking cock all the time. Superstud Rush sucks and rims Hawke while his own mighty rod is being worked on and Harting and Brandt eat his ass. Hawke is soon sitting on Rush's pole while he sucks Harting. Meanwhile, Rush is sucking Brandt's blond bone while pounding Hawke's hole. Next, it's Brandt's turn on bottom as Harting plows him while the blond sucks Hawke, who's sucking Rush. Whew! Muscleman Rush is the first to shoot his load on Brandt's perky pecs, followed by Hawke and Brandt. Harting comes with the others around him, and man, does he shoot a load! Once again, the pool is used to rinse off all that gooey residue.
So we've had a two-way, then a three-way, followed by a four-way. I'd bet my official "Behind Closed Doors" cum rag that the next scene is a five-way! After all the work is done, Moore invites Josh Weston, Daniel Montes, Justin Dragon and Brad Benton over for a swim, but the pool's ignored so they can focus on each other. There is so much hot action in this scene that I can't do it justice with a play-by-play, so instead, you'll get some highlights. The biggest highlight is that everyone in the scene sucks cock, even the gorgeous but sometimes "tradey" Montes. He sucks and rims Weston's hot ass before fucking the muscle stud in a very hot sequence. Montes' beautiful bod and curved cock look equally hot fucking Moore while Moore sucks Weston. Dragon proves he's sexiness personified as he swaps bjs with both Moore and Benton before licking out Benton's hole so deep you'd swear he struck gold in them there hills. He then rams Benton's bubble butt before dousing the sun-kissed bottom with a huge load of jizz. Actually, everyone cums on Benton before they throw his cum-covered bod in the pool. No surprise there! The big surprise is the "surprise" appearance of '80s porn legend Jim Bentley in this scene. Bentley is still handsome, in great shape and still has a beautiful, rock-hard bone. Strangely though, most of the cast ignores him! He walks in on the guys halfway through the scene as the owner of the house/pool and declares no one throws an orgy without him - but they kinda do. While he does briefly suck some cock and gives Benton's ass a good, hard pounding, most of the time, he's standing off to the side alone. I'm sure getting Bentley to appear was a casting coupe, but he barely joins in any reindeer games. Odd.
When companies spend money and hire talented sexy performers, award-winning directors and get beautiful locales, you end up with one of the hottest films this year. LaRue really excels at group sex, and this was the perfect movie for her to direct. I was very impressed with Moore, who appears a few times and is a complete dick pig each time. Got to love that! Overall, there's not a dud in this group of studs. Hopefully, Falcon will put out another installment in this hot series before another 15 years have passed. But then again, if it's as hot as this one, it will be worth the wait. Break out the sunscreen!
