Steven Scarborough's "Ram Tough" is a loving salute to blue collar jobs. Of course that's been done before, but when someone like Alex Collack is playing the plumber, I immediately forgot every porn star who ever previously played a plumber. Each scene here packs that wallop, with every performer going way beyond just standard talent. The guys here are at the apex of talent, no doubt, but the zeal on display here is what makes "Ram Tough" so extra special. No one is content to just perform. They all seem to feel the need to perfect instead.

The first blue collar job shown is good old-fashioned dependable porn plumbing. Alex Collack is tucked into a uniform so tightly it must have taken him an hour to get into it. The exquisitely handsome light-haired hunk goes about looking at the pipes with his ass showing, which gets his partner Shane Rollins mighty hard. The hairy-chested tattooed Shane has quite a piece and hands it to goateed Alex instead of a requested wrench. So Alex, his abs so perfect they look ready to jump through his skin, deep-throats Shane with mammoth authority. With his sexy eyes looking up at Shane now and then, he slurps down the entire thick cock with room to spare in the back of his throat. Because he is such a natural talent, he is able to concentrate also on touching Shane, ogling Shane and making the whole episode seem hotter than possible. Note the casual way he lies Shane down on a table, grabs his balls and sucks to meet his hand, as if it doesn't mean swallowing however many scary inches of hard flesh it really is! Things start to get a little curious when Alex fingers Shane, because Alex, known for many abilities, always plays the must-please bottom. Well, welcome to another Collack surprise when he tops Shane! Not only does he go through the motions, but he does so as well as he bottoms. He swivels his hips with a sexy grind that shoots his large cock way deep into Shane, making sure to clench his own superb ass for a little extra burst of power to keep Shane roaring. The full handless in-and-out plows are excellent, but so is the jackrabbit speed when he's deeply buried. Not to disappoint anyone who came to see his ass invaded, Alex then rides on Shane, bounding up and down Shane's cock in a riding position, aiming to take more cock than is actually available. Shane fucks Alex missionary next, Alex lazing on the table with suck obvious joy at taking Shane's rigorous fuck. Alex lets out a gigantically pent-up shot while Shane is still fucking him and then Shane finishes on Alex's abs, allowing one last shot of those amazingly chiseled muscles.

Many flicks would leave the big surprise moment of a known star switching from his usual sexual role until the end of the movie, but this film hasn't shown its full hand of cards yet by any means. We find elegant muscleman Kent Larson in a factory working very seriously when seriously beautiful Jason Kingsley, his hair tinted a bit and his cock just itching to be sucked, steals his attention. Kent obliges the big-lipped Jason with a breathless blowjob, minding the curve of Jason's cock in order to deep-throat him. Shot beautifully right over Jason's clipped-hairy pecs, the camera angle used most often shows Kent's confident big eyes looking right up at his prey as he gets more and more furious with his sucking. When Kent is wearing nothing but his spider-themed tattoos, he opens up Jason's puckering ass with his probing tongue, Jason pumping his cock eagerly to keep up with the pleasure his ass is receiving. It's a deep hole and Kent works it with sensual tickling delight. Kent then positions his solid ass on Jason's face to take some licking. Jason twists his body and pumps his cock as he's doing it, multitasking to look mucho hot as Kent wears a look of absolute splendor on his face. That look gets even deeper when Jason fucks him, his untanned pelvis swinging from inches away to blast fuck Kent's meaty rump. His dick slides in and out very easily, so Jason plays with pretty styles to keep it uniquely interesting. All sweaty with hard work and passion, Kent rides Jason, scooping in most of Jason's sizeable inches until Jason pulls out to cum all over Kent's butt. Does that mean it's closing time in this factory? Not quite. Kent, one hand planted on a mammoth asscheek, delivers a powerful fuck to Jason. Jason moans with every thrust and Kent has lots of energy to spare in this anal assault. Kent, hips still grinding, cums on Jason's stomach, Jason has another shot on Kent's shoulder and now the scene can officially end. From Kent's go-for-broke suck until Jason's wowing second cum-shot, this scene is so packed solid it doesn't allow much breathing time!

I don't know what Alex Fuerte's job is, though it entails needing a red toolbox, but, my word, does he look hot standing up against the building waiting to start his job. It helps that this tall shaved-headed stunner is squeezed into crisp tight blue jeans and a tank top that hides just enough chest. He is met at the door by Ace Hanson, so muscular and rugged that he's forgotten all about his neck as he's pumped up to slurpy ox status. Alex is there to purchase a Green Card from Ace, who doesn't let him off with just paying cash. Instead, he makes Alex fall to his knees to suck his dick. Alex whirls his head around Ace's cock. Alex, who would but just as to-die-forish if he didn't have talent to equal his looks, works very well getting Ace's cock hard as Ace rips off his shirt and allows all those acres of muscles to taste freedom again. With Ace at full thickness, Alex continues his head-swirling work, gulping far down to the balls. Ace, who has two asscheeks that are so big they need names of their own, gets a swift rimming from Alex before Alex bends over and lets Ace fuck him. Alex does a lot of the work in back up on Ace, pushing his ass far into Ace's groin to once again make it down to the balls. Alex is such a pro he can even turn himself backwards and watch himself self-skewer. If Ace isn't the top to make dreamy Alex work harder than ever, Alex doesn't stint for a moment. When he goes to ride on Ace, he holds onto a ladder with both hands and anchors himself for a mighty session. Alex then fucks Ace, his dick disappearing between Ace's cheeks with crushing blows. Ace stands still and lets Alex do the work, which is just fine because Alex has oodles of energy left in him and hammers at Ace until the ladder against which Ace is propped threatens to give way. Diligent Alex finally pulls out of Ace to cum and then Ace drips a nice load on Alex's chest. Seems to me Alex earned not only himself a Green Card, but a few extras for any friends or relatives he wants to bring with him.

Half the size of most of the muscle men before him, the super adorable Corbin Michaels would rather eat his lunch than help Jason Hawke wrap up cables. But, Corbin makes him a deal: if Jason blows him, he'll assist with the wires. How much do you want to bet they never get around to the latter once they start on each other? Corbin closes his eyes as the grand looker Jason, himself ever expanding into drool-worthy beefcake territory, sucks his generous dick fully. Jason is yet another cast member here to make deep-throating a hefty cock seem like a normal occurrence, and he does so until Corbin's eyes roll back in his head. He then applies his long tongue to Corbin's slightly hairy ass. Jason doesn't just rim him, he teases Corbin fully. There's a definite method to what he's doing in that sinfully pert ass. Corbin then blows Jason, gobbling with the same efficiency as his partner. This is the first time in the film reciprocal suckings have been shown, and it's no wonder as Corbin maneuvers his way down Jason's heavily-veined cock, or takes a wanton face-fuck. "Keep sucking," Jason says as he thrusts his dick at Corbin. Did he show any signs at all of wanting to stop? Not that I could see! After Corbin has spent a long time sating himself on Jason's cock, he takes up residence in his ass with his dick to seek out more pleasure zones. Corbin only looks less powerful than some of his co-stars, but when it comes to fucking, he's every bit as potent. He can ram it in with the best of them and he takes full advantage of Jason's open and willing ass. Jason then gets to do the same to Corbin, but opts for a slower-burn sensual fuck that aims to break deep into Corbin's ass. It's eminently watchable and Corbin's heated stares at Jason only serve to encourage more of it. Even Jason seems impressed by his own work, looking at himself go more than at his partner! In a one-of-a-kind position, Corbin stands up to let Jason fuck him. It takes a lot of strength for Jason to maneuver this one, but he does so without losing any steam, splaying Corbin to the limit. To prove how much they can do, they go sideways before Jason finally pulls out to cum on Corbin, who follows with a giant splash of his own. Oh yeah, and no one remembers the wires ... like they would have enough energy to attend to them anyway!

Alex Fuerte is wasting no time in getting to work with his new Green Card and his assignment takes him on a job with Jason Kingsley and the Grand High Poobah of muscle studs, hairy hunky Arpad Miklos. Once inside the building where they are supposed to work, the trio is naked and groping for cock. The three tons of solid worked-out flesh all have mighty cocks to fit their frames and each is more than a handful for the others to grab and pet. Alex grabs all three cocks and jacks them together as they kiss, but still smile! These guys are hot for each other and it shows. They finally get down the business we came for with Arpad sucking Jason and Alex doing Arpad. Now, often Arpad's double-digit dick seems deceptively small because he's such a giant of a man, but it's enormous. However, watching Alex make a meal out if it, I was scratching my head. How can it be so blissfully easy for any man to gulp down a cock that large and still have a throat to show for it? Alex completely outshines his previous scene here, doing such wonders with his dead-on blowjob of Arpad. As for Arpad himself, he's no slouch, either, tucking in every centimeter of Jason's cock to the latter's utmost pleasure. With Jason egging him on and Alex pleasuring him so fully, Arpad rattles off a wow of a suck. Alex then works his way around to Arpad's ass, applying his face to that piece of perfection while Arpad does a similar routine in Jason's butt. Alex stuffs his head way into Arpad, never forgetting the cock there to blow as well, and Arpad's unshaven face must be tickling Jason's pulsating ass. The rimming energy expended is enough to tire a tribe of men, but these three still have to fuck. As Arpad sits for another excellent blowjob from Alex, Jason gets to fuck Alex. He does so with some neato gyrations and a great sense of fun. Perhaps he's aping the head swirling Alex is using on Arpad's cock, or perhaps he's trying to trump Alex's backwards thrusts on his dick, but Jason finds a way to steal his moment with his lovely style. He actually works very hard to conquer Alex, who just turns to him and pulls him in tighter, as if this nasty fuck isn't powerful enough. If Alex found Jason not strong enough for his highly demanding ass (and, trust me, Jason gives all a man can give), up next is topping expert Arpad. Unleashing his notable grind on Alex, he swivels around in circles to get his bearings in the ass and then pounds the hell out of Alex, who keeps his mouth on Jason's cock most of the time. Still, though, Alex can't resist an attempt to grab the fuck away from his top and backs up to him, but Arpad is having none of that let's-play-together crap and slams away with total force. The two tops stand over Alex and unload on his chest, both of them giving him a bath of jism.

The title says it all. The words "ram" and "tough" are definitely a verb and an adjective that sum up completely the ecstatic action going on here. Under the particularly strong direction of Steve Scarborough, this astounding cast keeps topping itself moment after moment. All but Arpad flip-flop, adding an extra spice to each scene that I appreciated because it showed them all working to the furthest limits. No dick is too big to suck, no ass too muscular to fuck, no position too hard to achieve. Add in about six billion pounds of combined bench press ability and "Ram Tough" is truly as good as it gets.

A DVD Review by Brent Blue

What would be nicer than watching nine hardworking construction men decide to take some time off from work and have a go at it? Other than joining them, I can't think of a thing. And since I'm not likely to meet Arpad Miklos, Shane Rollins, Kent Larson, Jason Kinsley or Alex Collack at Sidetrack, Hot House Entertainment's latest release, Ram Tough, will have to do.

Hall of Fame director Steven Scarborough presents these superstuds and four more in his latest sex-drenched ode to all things masculine. No filler here, just tons of hot, hard sex!

While we're mostly used to seeing Hot House superstar Alex Collack in fisting scenes, here he takes a more conventional approach to sex if you can call Collack's first-class fucking conventional! Here Collack is having a hot time as a plumber, working on a sink. Shane Rollins talks him into cooling down by unzipping his work suit.

But before you know it, Collack is working his mouth around Rollins' lead pipe. Rollins is more verbal here than I've ever seen him, and this makes it among his sexiest scenes ever! Collack gets down to business and gives Rollins a nice, long, steady boning -- then they flip-flop, and Collack sits on Rollins' huge cock.

Rollins stands up and gives Collack more of what he craves, namely, his 10-inch boner up his ass. Collack almost passes out when Rollins strokes his cock while fucking him. Collack jacks out a massive load while Rollins gives him some heavy thrusts. Rollins pulls out and pumps a creamer.

Next, dirty blond slut Jason Kingsley seduces construction worker Kent Larson. And imagine (!), all it takes is for Kingsley to pull out his dick, and Larson immediately falls to his knees. When Kinsley makes it to full erection. Larson has some trouble taking it all. It's really a bit charming to think that porn star Larson still has a bit of a gag reflex!

They get undressed, and Larson gives Kingsley's asshole a tongue lube. Kingsley appears ready to fall unconscious from Larson's expert rim. Kingsley returns the anal favor when Larson sits on his face. Larson bends over, and Kingsley works his thick prick up into Larson's gut. Kingsley pulls out a creamy drooler onto Larson's asscrack, then they flip-flop, and Larson bangs Kingsley's ass.

Kingsley is a much more intense bottom and is delirious with ecstasy. Larson humps his load onto Kingsley, and Kingsley works out a huge load in thankful return.

The next two scenes, while hot, don't quite match the intensity of the prior two. Here, cute, dimple-chinned bodybuilder Ace Hanson meets Alex Fuerte. Fuerte drops to his knees, then turns Hanson around for a dirty trombone. With no wasted time, Hanson penetrates Fuerte, who backs himself onto Hanson's dick as hard as he can.

Fuerte does a reverse straddle on Hanson, then Fuerte shoves his meat up Hanson's bun. Hanson shoots while Fuerte fucks him. Fuerte cums a dripper, then Hanson surprises with a second, even larger load. While Hanson is nice to look at here, he isn't very energetic onscreen. We hope he'll improve with a few more movies under his belt.

Next up, Jason Hawke looks for cute young pup Corbin Michaels to help out with some worksite chores. Michaels insists on some oral pleasure as the price. Hawke sucks him and sticks his long, pointed tongue up Michaels' ass. Michaels returns the oral favor on Hawke, then fucks him for a bonus. They flip-flop, and when Hawke fucks Michaels on a scaffold, we're treated to the site of the entire length of Hawke's cock penetrating Michaels' ass.

They get on their sides, and Hawke fucks Michaels from behind. Hawke shoots his load onto Michaels' thigh and balls, and Michaels' jacks out a nice cummer.

The final scene features Arpad Miklos, Alex Fuerte and Jason Kingsley, and is the best scene of the film. Here, director Scarborough's considerable talents are fully matched by the energy and intensity of the performers.

All three of them get undressed as soon as they reach their worksite, and they immediately begin fondling and jacking each other. They begin to suck each other and move into a daisy-chain rimming sequence.

Kingsley then moves from the front of the line to the back so that he can fuck Fuerte. Kingsley's low-hangers do a nice swing as he proudly bones the cock-mad Fuerte. Then it's Miklos' turn to take Fuerte's ass for a ride!

Both Kingsley and Miklos empty themselves onto the kneeling Fuerte, and both work out big cummers that Fuerte massages into his chest. Fuerte then finishes himself. While this last scene might sound a bit spare, it isn't. It's intense, hot, and expertly directed and performed.

While this video doesn't quite reach the levels of a Hot House classic, it's definitely one of the best movies out there right now, and it's highly recommended.
