The third installment of director Kristen Bjorn's Australian trilogy ("A Sailor in Sydney," 1990; "Jackaroos," 1991; and "Manly Beach," 1991), "Manly Beach" is a tale of the libidinous lifeguards that protect one of Sydney's most famous beaches.
Things get underway with a lovely image -- men surfing in the ocean, as waves crash and die against the shore. Outdoors, behind the seascape, lifeguard Dex Brown relaxes next to a tree, his pants pulled down, an erection jetting out. Seconds later, Foot-Long Sean walks up behind him, his own slab hanging out. He approaches Dex and they kiss as Sean rubs his dick against Dex. It's only a minute or two into this scene before he splashes his first cum-shot on Dex. They take turns fellating each other, before dropping to the ground for a 69. Sean, in particular, is especially inspired as he tastes cock. Sean winds up on top here, rubbing his foot-long club against Dex's butt before straddling it. He fucks the baby-smooth Dex almost gently and rhythmically, Dex closing his eyes in euphoria. Then, against a rock, Sean launches his tongue up Dex's ass, before he pounds him a second time, this time more fervently. These perfectly-matched blond men then share a kiss as the sun sets before running out for a skinny-dip.
Dex joins his fellow lifeguards Ian Layman and Root Calahan for a beach run, before they take a breather for some three-way fun. Ian and Root are two compact brunets who look amazing in and out of their Speedos. They also know a hot piece off ass when it's whistling in front of them. They all get to suck the other, as well as nibble two cocks at the same time. Dex is tag-teamed here, both his hardon and his pucker eaten, before he plays bottom, letting both Ian and Root dive inside. While Dex gets plugged at both ends, the other two drop loads on his quivering torso.
The third scene, perhaps my favorite of all, with Blue Vainer and Ned McCabe is a great display of sexual chemistry between two hot-blooded men. Ned seems to have swallowed some Spanish Fly; as he and Blue shower, Ned gives Blue a shockingly carnal blowjob, swallowing the dick, then pulling it out and licking every inch. With water raining on them, Blue overwhelms Ned's ass. Ned arches his back and pokes his butt out far. Lover Blue is all too happy to stuff it. Each man seems keenly aware of what turns the other on; Ned, in particular, has a raging hardon as Blue picks up the tempo. After Blue has withdrawn and coated Ned's dark-brown buns, the action shifts to a beach, where Blue orally caresses Ned's dick to one of Bjorn's patented no-hands cum-shots. Unsatisfied, Ned grabs hold of a rock, while Blue grabs hold of his bare hips, and plows him yet again.
Foot-Long makes a welcome return next, surfing with Bjorn favorite Hogan Maloney. As they carry their boards out of the water, they glance up at a hotel room deck and see Demetrios Xenos clad in a bathing suit, adjusting his crotch and giving the two a come-up-and-see-me look. Sean and Hogan take him up on the offer, and soon the stage is set for a three-way. As they take turns working their throat muscles on each other's dicks, Demetrios shoots a big blast on Hogan's chest. As Hogan stands and swings his ass, Demetrios drops down, one second rimming Hogan, then throttling Sean's dick. It's Demetrios who then hunches over and lets Sean fuck him first. Standing up, he steadies himself by licking Hogan's balls and dick, as Sean pounds away and then squirts on Demetrios' firm cheeks. The three move to the sofa, where Hogan is positioned over Demetrios, his mouth full of cock, while Demetrios licks his butt and Sean drills into happy Hogan. Having had a piece of both his partner's butts, Sean runs through them once more, with Demetrios sitting and rocking on his tool, then Hogan crouching down and taking another rapid-fire fuck.
As part of Bjorn's overall work, "Manly Beach" isn't one of his heavyweights, with a smaller cast and number of scenes than usual. On its own terms, though, it's a serious and sensual journey Down Under.
DVD features: The full-length feature; interactive menus; a scene-by-scene chapter breakdown; a slide-show (with commentary by Kristen Bjorn; he talks about the making of "Manly Beach," which was shot one scene at a time for almost six months, and the difficulty of filming then real-life lovers Ned and Blue, who were having relationship problems at the time); and no regional coding (playable worldwide).
