"Island Fever" was director Kristen Bjorn's second hardcore video, shot in 1989 on an island in Brazil where there was no electricity, no roads, and in the middle of the rainy season. Consequently, the natural light Bjorn had to work with gives this video a bit of raw texture that adds to the realism of the setting. As became Bjorn's hallmark, the cast of "Island Fever" is, without exception, stunningly gorgeous, well-hung, and more than ready to perform.
The central character, Braulio Duarte, reminisces about the erotic adventures that he has heard of on the island as he departs for Rio de Janeiro. In his voiceover, Duarte says, "Growing up here was a paradise." With the scenes that follow, it becomes evident he isn't exaggerating. But Duarte wants to see the world so much that he's ready to leave it all behind.
Duarte's first memory is of Gilson Monteiro, a smooth-skinned, bronzed muscle hunk, who satisfies his horniness in the coolness of a grove of coconut palms. Monteiro's raging hardon cannot be confined by his tight blue Speedo, and he thrusts his hips as if to fuck an invisible lover with it. Monteiro reclines, his head resting on the trunk of a palm tree, and spreads his thick thighs wide, stroking his uncut meat in the sun, cumming hands-free all over his hip.
Next, lovers and companions Reinaldo Medeiros and Dario Senna wave to Duarte as his ship passes them in the harbor. The two studs make love in a tropical glade wearing skimpy bathing suits, kissing and rubbing their ample crotches together. Both men are swarthy, wavy-haired brunets with dark tans, wiry bodies and huge uncut cocks. First they sick and rim in the forest, then find a secluded beach, fucking until they spill multiple loads. A tender kiss ends their time together.
Pretao Grandao and Adriano Peixoto, two well-built black brothers, are first spotted carrying massive banana stalks filled with fruit. They encounter curly-haired, mustachioed hunk Erico Ventania in a nearby stable, and a hot three-way ensues, with both brothers ravaging Ventania's body, fucking his ass and face. Grandao's enormous uncut dick is a wonder, hanging from his body like a third leg. His first cum-shot is beautiful, the head of his cock hooded with his ample foreskin, cum leaking out and dripping on Ventania's chest. This is easily the hottest scene in the entire video, especially with the inclusion of Ventania taking all of Grandao's enormous endowment in his ass as he coats his lower belly with a big load of white cum.
A very hot three–way between Diego Lobos, Jair Marinho and Claudio Mattos is next, with the studs finding a quiet spot in the jungle to unleash their passion with hot kisses, dry-humping, and, eventually, fucking and sucking. Bjorn adds in some very creative camera work, from below as a three-way suck happens, and then also later, as the three unload, spewing cum on each other. By the time the scene ends, darkness has descended on the island, and the studs fuck near a campfire.
Duarte's memories of all the hot men and sex on his island finally get to him, and the stud goes to the side of the boat, lowers his shorts and strokes his uncut meat, once again reliving the erotic memories he has shared. His hairy muscles flex as he works his dick, and the stud shows off his hairy ass, lightly caressing his asshole. Memories of the gorgeous Monteiro prevail, and the smooth hunk performs another jerk-off in the surf that propels Duarte to shoot, leaving big globs of his cum floating in the water next to the boat.
DVD extras include scene selection and a link to the Bjorn website. The photo gallery includes a "do not miss" commentary by director Bjorn, who reveals that in one scene, a finger-fucking sequence was almost censored by his distributor at the time, because it was, in their estimation, "too close to fist-fucking." This understandably upset Bjorn. Of course, the pics are wonderful, too.
NOTE: The DVD version of "Island Fever" is currently available only through Kristen Bjorn directly.
