Running Time: 83 min.
Production Date: 11 / 14 / 2001
Director: Bobby Rinaldi
Cast: Renee LaRue, Kate Frost, Krystal Steal, Layla Jade, Monica Mayhem, Nick Manning, Eric Everhard, Eric Masterson, and Lee Stone
Initial Expectations: Renee La Rue told me that she’s really happy with this feature, which gives me a lot of hope for it.
Initial Reaction: Although there’s a few fairly minor problems, I think it’s the best feature I’ve seen from Wildlife.
Who Should Watch It : Couples who want hot sex without the plot, raincoaters, and anybody looking for sex with great chemistry
Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks it isn’t hot unless it’s nasty
Audio /Video Quality: The technical qualities are pretty average, but do have a few problems. The audio is a bit on the low side, and at times is muffled or doesn’t synch well with the video. The video is much the same way. It’s pretty good, but there’s a good amount of over lighting. Sometimes this works well and gives the scenes an artistic feel, but other times it holds back the feature and makes things look a bit pixelized. There’s also a few remnants that flash by throughout the feature.
Music: The music is normally a bit on the loud side, but not so much that it ruins the scene. There’s a fair amount of typical porn music, but there’s also some stuff that stands out nicely, like the laid back Latin piece in the second scene.
Menus: The main menu has a little animation that gives the DVD a good first impression. The chapter menu lets you choose a scene based on a small clip of the scene and a scene number.
The Feature: Passion works around just that. Each scene in the feature focuses on couples who are overflowing with passion for each other. There’s a little talk about passion before each scene, but that’s about all there is to tie the scenes together.
The extremely hot Renee La Rue starts things out extremely cute Kate Frost on an ornate open stairway, with both ladies in stockings, shoes, crotchless panties, gloves, and a garter belt. They touch each other all over, including a little spanking and leg humping, before Kate dives into Renee’s pussy while Renee leans against the railing. They take turns at gash gobbling and fingering, while showing some great enthusiasm through it all. There’s frequent smiles and bright eyes throughout the entire scene, leaving no doubt as to whether these babes are really into each other or not. There’s no toys here, but none are needed with the heat here. They finally finish things up with a bit of spanking and playing with each other’s pussy before going back upstairs. It’s a twenty minute scene, but flows along so well it feels more like half of that.
Monica Mayhem shows her passion for Eric Everhard in the second scene after Renee La Rue briefly teases each of them and brings them together. They exchange oral favors before energetically bumping uglies through many of the common positions, as well as in positions like Eric standing and fully supporting Monica. There’s some great energy and chemistry here, to the point that the mesh bodysuit Monica starts in is almost completely destroyed by the end of the scene. Monica finishes things up with a nice facial, and doesn’t dodge any of it. It’s another hot scene with great chemistry and energy.
Krystal Steal, a very cute bleached blonde, and Nick Manning, are brought together for the middle scene and start things off with some very passionate kissing. Nick removes her panties like a gentleman before licking and probing her bald beaver, and then lets Krystal show off some of her own oral skills. Nick moves on to let his cock take care of Krystal’s pussy in quite a few positions before it aims it’s load for her tongue and gets most on her tits. It’s a very good scene, but not quite up to the level of its predecessors. Krystal shows some nice enthusiasm and does have me looking forward to seeing more of her in the future.
Layla Jade and Lee Stone’s passion takes the lead in the penultimate scene, starting with some kissing and them undressing each other in a fairly dark room. The give each other a decent oral warmup, with Layla showing some great eyes through her blowjob and great enjoyment with Lee’s tongue and fingers before she starts riding Lee’s cock. Layla seems fairly restrained as Lee fucks her pussy, but when he switches to her backdoor she starts turning into the nasty trash talking girl that so many of us enjoy watching. She finishes things up with an okay facial and blowing bubbles with Lee’s joy juice. It’s a good scene, but feels a little odd due to Layla’s restraint in the opening part of the scene. It’s still a hot scene with great chemistry and energy, but just feels a little odd at times.
Renee La Rue finishes things up exploring some of her darker urges with Eric Masterson, aka Mr. Wendy Divine. Renee starts things off in some virginal white lingerie while Eric is in black leather pants and gloves with a flogger. He gently slaps Renee’s pussy with his flogger before giving her ass a good slapping with it. Eric stays in control through the rest of the scene, not letting Renee look at him as he licks her slit, giving her directions as she sucks his cock, and finally making her beg a little for him to fuck her. They work through several positions, most of which are against the railing above the staircase in the opening scene, before Renee takes a slightly below average facial and swallows some down. It’s a great scene to end things with, and has some of the same heat and chemistry that made Renee’s opening scene so hot.
Passion is a well done and impressive fuck flick. It doesn’t bother with things like a plot, or even much of a common theme outside of wanting the performers to look like they’re actually having a really good time and enjoy what they’re doing. Renee La Rue is amazing throughout both of her full scenes, as well as her couple appearances, and is followed closely by Kate Frost and Monica Mayhem. The sex is never nasty, with the most outrageous act being anal sex, and is always strong thanks to some excellent chemistry and more than a little energy.
Extras: The photo gallery lasts about three and a quarter minutes with about ten seconds per very nice looking snapshots. As usual, there’s also internet and contact information, as well as a ten minute behind the scenes featurette. The behind the scenes mixes up the scenes being shot with some of what’s going on behind the scenes, between shoots, and during the photo shoots. It mostly focuses on Renee La Rue, which I’m guessing is because she’s Wildlife’s best know contract starlet, and her scene with Kate Frost, but there’s a bit of the other scenes as well, with the exception of Layla Jade and Lee Stone’s scene. It’s a short featurette, but does add to the overall DVD quite nicely.
Themes: Straight, lesbian, spanking, fetishwear, anal, B&D, and swallowing
Raincoat Factor: Very high
Overall: Currently, Passion can be found online for between $11 and $25 with quite a few stores offering it for under $15. With how much hot sex is in this feature, I can’t help but recommend Passion at this price. Heck, the first scene alone is worth $10! The transfer is a bit weak at times, but there’s a little care given to the overall DVD with a behind the scenes featurette.
Note to Wildlife: I hope this turns into a long running and consistent series for you!
