a friend and I watched this movie together, and let me tell you - it was bizarre.
the full film (which is split into two parts) is 5 hours and 46 minutes long. but I didnāt want my friend to have to put up with that, so I edited all of the porn out, and we watched only the āplotā.
can you guess how much plot there is? hint: Itās not much. with all of the sex removed, what was left was only 1 hour and 10 minutes long.
doing the math there, the plot makes up about 20.5% of the movie. and thatās with the title and end credits, some of the kissing, and a lot of the incidental nudity left in. I was being very generous by calling that āplotā.
now, the movie did have some really nice shots of the landscape, which leads to the next weird thing about this film: they werenāt kidding when they said this was shot on location. allow me to explain:
the very thin story in this is vaguely based on a book thatās based on the real-life Pleasant Valley War. for some reason, parts of this pornographic film were shot at Q Ranch, which is 2 miles north of where one of the first battles of that war took place.
and not only that! but some of the scenes (including a gunfight scene) were filmed in a historic cemetery! and! at least one of the sex scenes! took place in an archaeological site!
Iām not joking! while watching the film (because I did actually watch all 5 hours, 46 minutes, and 38 seconds of this on my own) I was like, āuh hey, are those Native American ruins?ā and turns out, they fucking were!
The Q Ranch Pueblo was home to a group of people some consider part of the Mogollon culture from A.D. 1265 to 1380, and if that sentence sounded a bit dry to you, itās because itās a quote from The Arizona Archaeological Societyās report on that location.
anyway, thereās really not much else to say about this. the plot that was there was barely thought-out, and the acting was awkward and stilted. the sound design was bad, and you couldnāt always hear people when they were talking. there was some comically bad fake blacksmithing (just a dude hammering at a piece of cold metal), and the action scenes were all over the place. even the murders seemed excessive and ridiculous - and not funny-ridiculous? just boring to watch, with not enough character development to actually care about the characters getting killed.
also one of the actors in this film, Philipp Tanzer, is apparently now a menās rights and anti-porn activist, and he recently ran for Scottish Parliament as a part of a far-right anti-LGBT party, and (thankfully) lost. so, thereās another fun fact for you.
now, I do have some more notes on the actual porn elements of this, but those are NSFW, and so are going under a cut.
(you have been warned! past this point, there are explicit descriptions of bad cowboy porn! only click this if youāre an adult who is okay with reading that!)
