Yet another terrific piece of work from the legendary Cazzo Films in Germany and imported by All Worlds Video International, Kraftsport (German for power-sport or weightlifting) is basically an all-sex video that show off nine guys pumping iron and fucking around. Seen it before, right? You have, but rarely is it done this well. All of the men are appealing in different ways, the sex is steamy, and Kraftsport's technical aspects are top-notch. This is a great video to watch for a primer on how to properly light sex scenes without turning the models into sweaty pumpkins or casting half of a shot into darkness. Time and care was taken here with the composition of each shot, and it really shows. Ever find your attention wandering as you're watching a scene, even when the guys are attractive? Take a look at the timing of the shots in a film that bored you, and then watch Kraftsport. It really makes a difference when the action is properly timed out; rarely did I wish a particular shot had run longer or been trimmed down (I did find myself wanting a few more lingering shots of Thom Barron's meaty cock or Kai Harth's bodacious physique, but that's not a complaint). Six scenes are packed into a brisk 90 minutes, starting off with Barron, Harth, Ralf Steel (skinny but cute) and Dirk Stahl (also slender, but more muscled). The blond, humpy and amazingly buffed Harth understandably distracts the others from their workout and proceeds to give all three skillful blow jobs. He soon finds himself riding Barron's formidable cock with enviable skill (the others give him a hand as he grinds harder into Barron), and all four blow impressive loads. Elsewhere, Ruben (a handsome man of African extraction) and Lars Friemann (a tall redhead with a swimmer's build) meet up and make their way to the gym, where the sexcapades continue. Harth shows up again in the locker room and presents his body to Ruben for the taking. Ruben quickly scarfs down Harth's cock, then bends over and receives a nice fuck. (Harth makes for a passable top-man, but he's better served as a bottom.) Again, both men shoot good loads of juice. Elsewhere, Steel and Friemann spot each other as they bench press, but naturally, it's difficult to concentrate when there's a bulging crotch positioned a few tantalizing inches from your face. Erections spring to life, and soon the two men are rutting like rabbits on the workbench. As with every scene in this video, the men really seem to enjoy not only the sex itself but one another's bodies. A real sense of genuine sexual attraction comes across like gangbusters. Barron, Stahl and Ruben find yet another workout interrupted in the fourth scene. (Who could pump iron in this gym?) Barron's thick, veiny cock and low-hanging balls are beautifully displayed here. Ruben very impressively deep-throats Barron, who groans appreciatively, and Stahl can't help but grab a piece of the action for himself. Ruben is pounded by Barron and takes all of that cock right down to Barron's pubic hair. Great stuff. In the fifth scene, Xerxes, as he works out, is cruised by C.H. and Rack. Xerxes is 40ish and muscular, with hairy pecs and not a single ounce of fat. The two muscular globes of his pillowy ass are irresistible to the other guys, and Xerxes takes both cocks without any problem. He proves himself a more passive bottom than the other guys in this video, which is fine normally, but his passivity stands in stark contrast to the others. Also, C.H. shoots a hot load, but the other men do not. The sixth and final scene has Barron wrestling Steel with Rack keeping an eye on them. They tumble and toss each other around for a while, and before a winner is really declared, Barron gives his ass up for a really solid thump. He's rock hard throughout and groans like a guy who doesn't bottom much but still likes a stiff one now and then. Rack, of course, finds himself compelled to participate and forces Barron to suck him off as Barron is being stuffed full of cock at the other end of his body. Kraftsport is not groundbreaking and has a rough edge here and there (a couple of the cum shots are missing or faked, for example), but it's still by far one of 1999's hottest videos. We've got a variety of body types, one stunning beauty (Kai Harth has real star power) and a seasoned vet (Barron) at the top of his game. Not to mention hard cocks all around (the bottoms boast erections even as they're being fucked!) and guys who genuinely appear to be enjoying themselves. Amen to that! - J.C. Adams
