This series is composed of collections of their early 8mm porno film loops from the seventies. Combining two of these videos gives you about two hours of viewing pleasure. (Don't mix up the popcorn salt with the lube!)
Five of the 10 shorts feature that hunk-of-hunks, Ledermeister. Now, if you like your men young and squirmy, forget it. Let's just say you'll never find Ledermeister in a Bel Ami video. But don't worry -- he's not as tough as he looks. Herr Ledermeister is, however, a 35-to-45-ish major stud with massive muscles, lots of hair, and a rugged, square-jawed face. He variously sports a moustache, beard, or clean-shaven face, but looks best with his beard, we think. Despite his name, he's not all that leathery, either (no, we're not talking about his skin). And he never gets around to wearing lederhosen. ("O, du lieber Augustin ... ")
A brief intro shows us a little troupe of motorcycle leather dudes parading through the mountains, evidently to establish Ledermeister's leather credentials. We're skeptical. Then we get a nice solo of Ledermeister soaping up his hairy muscles in the shower at home, followed by a bizarre jerk-off onto a motorcycle out in the wilderness. It's very disjointed, and like most of the vignettes in "Part 7," seems like a home movie (can't beat that 8mm), as well as like underground films of the sixties. The second chapter is just as "art film," but a little more narrative as athletic Erron indulges in a fantasy about doing it in a Winnebago with leather-daddy Ledermeister. Erron returns in "Pool," which REALLY seems like a home movie, and the box cover advises us that, yes, it is from "Rip COLT's private files of home movies." It's a hot three-way around the pool, and Ledermeister shows us he's no trade as he eagerly devours assholes and cocks. He meets movie-star handsome Dick Trask in "Oasis," but not at an oasis. Not unless you consider the smell of manure to be like a soothing oasis. No, they meet at the stables so that they can show off some cowboy drag, then haul off in a circa 1972 dinosaur model SUV (a truck with a camper shell) out into the desert for some hot sex. Ledermeister proves his manhood by throwing his legs in the air for hunky, sleek Dick. Suddenly, Dick's diving (yes, we said it) into Ledermeister's muscles becomes a dive into a pool, and we're back poolside again, where Dick saddles up Ledermeister (we're not kidding -- he actually puts a saddle on his back) and fucks away. Yee-ha! Ride 'em, cowboy! Ledermeister does a quick change into leather drag for "Breakdown," hitching a ride on Tom's Hog (that's a Harley to the uninitiated) in the middle of the desert, even whacking off during the trip. Better watch out for a call from Mothers Against Masturbatory Driving. Lucky Erron's car has broken down, and they stop to chase him into some picturesque ruins for a quick three-way. He struggles initially, but it's hardly rape.
All these scenes from "Part 7" have a slightly grainy, jumpy, underground-film look to them, but that's part of the attraction. It gives them an immediacy that just makes them hotter. The sex isn't as hardcore as we're used to today; almost all of the limited fucking could have been simulated (no visible penetration). Body parts also cover a lot of the sucking, although the rimming is pretty hard to fake. What this means, though, is that you get lots of distant views of the hot bodies, and these guys are about as hot as they come.
The action is a little more explicit in "Part 8," which also begins with a Ledermeister scene. He's a hunky meter reader seduced by blond-bodybuilder-in-a-bathrob e Dakota. (Hmm ... named after a geographical area ... must be a stripper.) Talk about clash of the Titans. A cheesy black-and-white scene of an avalanche and a jet pilot humorously suggests Dakota's orgasm. Handsome Denny and Mel Bush doing it softcore on a deck outside follow a solo by Erron. Dick Trask is back, looking stunningly handsome as he and Bill Eld play around with a silly mesh G-string. Big Bill looks young and cute here (quite different from the rather dissipated character we remember from later appearances). Dick's juicy blowjob of Bill is a highlight. Bruno, that dark, hairy staple of the early years of porn, shows up for "Bruno's World," which begins with a dual solo with Toby and ends with the two of them doing it by the pool.
There's no real fucking to speak of in "Part 8," and just a few scenes of explicit cocksucking. And don't look for any cum-shots. But with guys as masculine and handsome as these, just watching them wrestle around together is enough to get you dripping.
