The "COLT Couples" collection shows off a lovey-dovey mood with seven scenes of hunks in love, from the earliest days of COLT to more recent releases. Every one of these shorts is cast with hot studs. Some of them, shot on film, hold up remarkably well considering their age, and the transfer to DVD is really good, with color and contrast crisp and clear. If you've only seen some of these releases on old video, or even film, you'll be amazed at how new they look.

In "The Love Tub," 1970s-style bearded clone Bob Randall is lolling around naked in a bubbling hot tub, chewing on a roasted turkey leg (you read that right) when hairy, uncut hunk Moose appears out of nowhere. Moose, wearing his low-slung COLT belt, his aviator sunglasses, and his furry abdomen and chest exposed, leans over and takes a bite. Of the turkey leg, that is. Then the two satisfy a different kind of hunger, sharing a wet kiss as Moose leans over the edge of the tub. Moose stands and unbuttons his 501s, releasing that monster piece of meat he is still famous for, and then Randall starts to suck and lick it. Moose bends over to take off his jeans and boots, and Randall snuffles up his hairy ass with his nose, getting a long whiff of Moose's man scent. Moose jumps in, his hard cock bobbling in front of him in the water. Then he bends Randall over and slides it home, spearing the slender stud with his thick meat. Continuing the action outside the hot tub, Randall gets doggy-style, and Moose slams hard against his ass. Moose pulls out and delivers a big, messy load all over Randall's creamy white cheeks, then Randall flips over and jerks off, and his load coats his rock-hard abs.

"Coming to an End" stars two of COLT's best-loved stars from the 1970s, Italian stallion Rocco Rizzoli and heavy-hung clone Nick Rogers. Rogers is soaping up in the shower as Rizzoli relaxes on a cot, inches away, naked from the waist down. Next, Rogers diddles Rizzoli's exposed asshole while he gets down on Rizzoli's thick, uncut Italian salami. Rizzoli then gets a taste of Rogers' mushroom-head dick. It's Rogers who gets on bottom for the fuck scene, and Rizzoli climbs on missionary-style to slam it home. There is some really good camerawork here, capturing Rizzoli's low-hanging balls as they slap against Rogers' ass while he fucks. Then the two stand, and Rizzoli fucks Rogers from behind as Rogers jerks his schlong. The scene ends with a little more oral action, with Rizzoli feeding his dick to Rogers while Rogers continues to jerk, then Rizzoli blows a big wet load on Rogers' face, and Rogers catches some of it in his open mouth. Rogers then licks the semen from Rizzoli's uncut cock (ah, the good old days of unsafe cum-eating!). Rogers shoots his load while straddling Rizzoli's chest, and the cum just keeps on shooting. The two studs end the scene with a huge open-mouthed kiss.

[Reviewed by The Porn Emperor]: "Lovers in Summer," directed by Bruce Cam, and originally released in 2000, has all of the qualities that have always made COLT great -- most prominent among these is huge, masculine muscle-men. It marks a welcome return to hardcore from this ancient and reliable studio. Needless to say, these two are absolutely stunning physical specimens -- typical COLT models. Both are huge, muscular bodybuilders, mostly shaved. Jock is taller than Kit and has a bit of closely-clipped body hair. Kit is more thickly muscled. Both look about 30 or so. As our story opens, Kit is splashing about in a scenic river glade while boyfriend Jock paddles over to him in a cute little kayak. A first-person narration tells us that Kit is remembering this special moment from last summer. Kit also tells us that the two are natural athletes, but that Jock is better at rowing. We'll get to see how he handles his oar later. The two wrestle in the water while a pleasant, relaxing soundtrack plays, then put their kayak into the pick-up (which they probably borrowed from their lesbian friends) and take off for home, eager to get to their cabin where they can be "all alone, with nature." Their first contact with nature is when they eat some fruit, but you know what bananas lead to! Some sexy tongue-kissing ensues, and then the clothes begin to come off. The pair spend some time feeling each other's bodies, a feature often missing in porn, then out pops Kit's FAT cock, in perfect proportion to his thick, muscular body. The music becomes suddenly less relaxing and more rhythmic in response (we know that happens when WE have sex). Jock sucks eagerly, though Kit doesn't get totally hard. Jock rims Kit's hard muscled ass, then reveals his own huge dick -- longer, but not quite as thick. They kiss and jack each other, then Jock sucks some more, and Kit takes a turn on Jock's meat, polishing it well. We see Jock's big dick pointing at Kit's asshole as the two embrace -- a portent of things to come. The sucking continues as the music soars. Then Jock gently fucks Kit on his back in front of a vase of sunflowers. Kit unfortunately isn't hard for this, but who cares? Seeing his legs in the air with his ass being fucked by the sexy Jock is enough. Jock then comes on Kit's tummy (the music is becoming more intense). Kit jacks to a climax while COLT magazines are visible on a table nearby (hey, what happened to "alone with nature?"). Kit's completely hard cock is quite a sight, especially on that equally beefy body. The narration concludes with Kit saying, "We were looking forward to that summer never coming to an end." Directed and photographed by TITAN's reliable Bruce Cam, the production values are superb. The lighting, sets, and photography are equal to Kristen Bjorn, and while the action may be less intense, the sexy masculinity of the men more than makes up for it. The music deserves special note: porn soundtracks are usually just a distraction, but this one is really quite pleasant and enjoyable, reminiscent of a Greenwood-Cooper softcore video.

"Lockner's Key" stars the legendary Bruno and Clint Lockner. Will there ever be another porn star like Bruno? Hugely built with a ruggedly handsome face and a dick of death, he was THE ideal for the 70s man's man. Lucky Clint Lockner co-stars with him in this film, but the real focus is on our man Bruno. The film begins with a shot of Bruno's hairy, sweaty armpit and quickly changes to a shot of the big stud fondling the pouch of his well-worn jock. His cock, when revealed, is magnificent, big, huge, and uncut. Lockner, a muscular redhead, plays a beat cop in the scene, and arrives at Bruno's door in full uniform, complete with sunglasses. It seems that the alert officer has noticed that Bruno left his keys in his door. Bruno thanks him, the officer disappears, and soon Bruno is back at it again, pulling on his huge cock. Dissolve to a fantasy: Bruno is using the cop to fuel his jerk-off fantasy. Lockner, still completely in uniform, fondles Bruno's hairy muscles while Bruno jerks. Locker eventually gets undressed (except for the sunglasses), and tastes just about every inch of Bruno's sweaty body, from his foreskin to his furry asshole. Bruno then slides into Lockner's ass from behind, and pumps him hard. Then Bruno rises over Lockner's face and gaping mouth, and blows his load, dropping big globs of jism onto Lockner's waiting tongue. Lockner soon follows, his load landing in his nest of red pubes.

"Driveshaft," with another of COLT's foreskinned studs, hairy blond Lloyd Kasper, stars in this one with hunky brunet Mike Davis. Davis and Kasper waste no time getting to it, with Kasper going down on Davis in the front seat of a truck. There is some very heavy-duty kissing action next, and then Kasper dangles his meat and balls out of the fly of his jeans while Davis tongues them from below, his own big cock protruding from a strategic tear in his denims. Kasper then gets totally oral with Davis, deep-throating his cock while Davis watches on, amazed, from above. Kasper moves on to rimming Davis, who rises on all-fours to receive Kasper's tongue. The rimming continues with sitting on Kasper's face while Kasper eats his ass. Davis then gets into the act, licking out Kasper's hairy asshole. In the finale, Kasper shoots his cum directly into Davis' mouth, and Davis laps it up. Davis then shoots into Kasper's mouth, and some of his load rings Kasper's lips, sticking in his five-o'-clock shadow. Kasper continues to lick and suck Davis' meat until it goes soft. Then the two go back to heavy kissing, sharing the taste of each other's loads.

"The Long Rangers" takes place in a setting that survives to this day in the world of gay porn, park rangers Ryan Kilgore and Gunner Hyde cavort in a pristine forest dappled in sunshine. Kilgore, a lantern-jawed (he even very slightly resembles actor David Hasselhoff), well-hung stud if ever there was one, and cute, buff Hyde begin the scene by taking off each other's uniforms and copping feels as they do so. When Kilgore's olive drab uniform pants come down, Hyde sticks his tongue deep in Kilgore's butt cleft, then the two trade blowjobs and share a hot kiss. Kilgore's amazingly low-slung ballsac and hairy asscrack get a close-up, then Hyde sits on Kilgore's open mouth, and Kilgore dives in eagerly with his tongue. Kilgore then bends Hyde over and slam fucks him as the sun beats down on the pair's naked bodies. Hyde then gets his chance to sample Kilgore's tunnel of love, sliding into his furry hole from behind. Kilgore jerks off in the finale, and Kilgore then stands and straddles Kilgore as Kilgore fingers his ass and catches drops of Kilgore's very big load in his mouth. Then, the two lie side by side, jerking their dicks, and Hyde delivers another huge load.

[Reviewed by Butch Harris]: "Workload," originally released in 2000, is a real gem as it includes a generous amount of oral sex as well as a bit of assplay, with bona fide COLT star, Tony Ganz and Mark Sierra. Tony epitomizes the COLT man -- macho, muscular and well-hung. Mark Sierra also fits that description, albeit with proportions that do not match those of his co-star. The short begins with the men working at a construction site on a half-finished house. They seem to be enjoying their work, moving pieces of wood and the like about. They take a break to enjoy some sandwiches and chitchat (COLT aficionados know that the dialogue is always muted, so instead of chitchat, we're treated to some soothing piano music by Bart Simms). We then cut to the men at home, preparing to relax after a day of labor in the sun. Mark's on the phone chatting and smiling, and Tony enters the room with an enormous erection and a white towel on his shoulder. I've seen many still photographs of Tony and have always had respect for his larger-than-average endowment, but the live-motion video of it is breathtaking. He's huge! At any rate, the call is soon over and Tony pulls down Mark's dirty jeans to reveal his partner's uncut cock. He plays with the foreskin for a minute before playfully licking the now-exposed head. He's just getting started, though, and proceeds to swallow it with hearty gulps. He shoves it in his jaws and swirls it around in his large mouth. These moves seem to meet with Mark's approval as he flashes several ear-to-ear grins. What's so fantastic about this blowjob is the intensity between the two men's eyes -- they stare at each other with seemingly genuine passion throughout. Mesmerizing. Not to be outdone, Mark saddles up to take Tony's monster. And take it he does. Gulp! And again. And again. Mark's deep-throating technique differs from his partner's in that he moves faster and with the aid of a hand in a sort of half-suck, half-handjob maneuver. Tony then stands over Mark and lets his low-hanging balls get a tongue-bath from below. Mark licks and chews with abandon, back arched to get at the nooks and crannies of the loose ballsac. They move into a 69 with Tony on top and Mark below where he is the lucky beneficiary of a slow face-fuck. Mark then slides down and goes into full cock worship mode locking eyes again and inhaling inch after glorious inch with delight. He takes a few more licks on the ballsac and asscrack before Tony rolls him over to taste his asscrack as well. Mark then shoots his load and Tony follows with a bigger load and a bigger smile.

The DVD also includes scene-by-scene chapter access and Internet access to the COLT website.
