I tell you this in all honesty; I had no idea how an entire hour of over the knee spankings was going to be entertaining. Porn is usually consumed (so to speak) in ten minute intervals. Less if there's lube involved. BDSM flicks, however, tend to be viewed for longer periods of time (I'm drawing on personal experience here, not scientific study). A film of the domination ilk needs to develop and draw you in. Some films can build up through the entire program with increasingly thorough and/or intense punishment and humiliation, climaxing only at the very end.
But with a spanking vid, I thought, the spanking starts, the ass gets red, and you're done. There's no build up, per se. An open hand spanking can get harder and faster but there's a low limit to variety. The scenes I've seen in other flicks followed that formula and got tedious after the first few minutes.
Then along comes Red-Assed Lap Dancing #19.
Each of its three segments are very watchable. Plowing through the whole thing in one sitting is not recommended (because it will get repetitive), but the work they've done is admirable. Each segment has a solid lead in (though the plot is the same each time), decent acting (which was a nice surprise), and dynamic camera work and editing (which keeps a scene from getting stale). In fact, the editing was mightily impressive. After 19 of these videos, it's obvious that the director understands how to create the necessary pacing for a spanking scene.
The basic premise is quite simple and is used for all three sequences. A model, hired to do a shoot, shows up at the motel room where the equipment is set up. She gets bitchy and mouthy. The Mystery Spanker gets fed up, drags the model over his knees and gives her a hell of a spanking with his open hand. The model changes in each scene and the details are slightly different but that's what you'll get. Simple, yet effective.

The first segment stars Julie Simone. She's a raven haired beauty with a fine ass. She plays the bitch role well, but it's when she gets pulled onto her tormentor's lap that Julie's genius as a spanking model really shines through. The girl goes into full throttle tantrum. Legs kicking, back arching, fists flailing vigorously yet ineffectively. She tosses her head around like a washing machine agitator, her long black hair cascading wildly around her face and neck. It's a sight to behold.
Lesser men would be daunted when dealing with such a hell cat, but the spanker is a big guy and only has minor troubles keeping her on his knees. While the sound is a bit lousy and the lighting a bit harsh on Julie's pale skin, the camera work captures her punishment (and subsequent hissy fit) very well. Where I thought it would get boring through repetition, the rhythm changes constantly, slow and hard, fast and sharp, struggling and subdued, which makes for a very interesting time.
Add to that the chatter from the spanker that never strays far from annoyed patronizing. He doesn't stoop to simply screaming obscenities at his models. There's no need. He stays in charge and peppers them with erudite verbal abuse in between blows. My favorite was "pseudo-sophisticated brat." He may be a disciplinarian, but he doesn't need to get nasty. It's a nice touch.

Number two on the block is Jill Cannon.
Her physical charms are in the stunning category. Curvy and full, she warrants the adjective "stacked." Taking into account her assets, the director spends some time simply having her pose for the camera in various outfits (the "job" she's supposedly there to do). Tiring of this, Jill plays the part of snobby diva. Can you guess what happens next?
Jill doesn't do nearly the same amount of squirming and thrashing that Julie did. In fact, Ms. Cannon is pretty still as the blows rain down on her bottom. Her extremely taut buttocks may have something to do with it. She does, however, stay vocal.
The panties come down and the slaps get hard, but Jill just gets growly and takes it. Not to say that this isn't a decent scene, but it's not as physically dynamic as the previous one. Jill gets to coast a bit on her looks, keeping us interested with eye candy rather than passion. She eventually gets a bit weepy and begs for it to stop and he sends her to stand in the corner.
When she comes back, Jill attempts to curry favor with a little girl act, licking her finger coyly and rubbing the nipples of her ample breasts. Doesn't work, she goes back over the knees.
Jill has a decent shift in her attitude if not a vigorous reaction to the spanking. It's fun to watch her go from growling and defiant to crying and submissive. Still, Julie's got her beat for sheer exuberance. (On RHV's website, www.bunbeatingfun.com, they proudly display a quote from Jill Cannon describing the experience as "horrible." She may not have shown it too enthusiastically, but the spanking was certainly memorable for her.

To round it out we get a third scene with Sybil as the sacrificial model.
She's a short haired bottle blonde with more curves than Jill. It's worth noting that RHV has a good eye for talent. Cruising their site you'll find that the videos are populated by a startlingly high percentage of very beautiful women. Of which Sybil is one. She plays her part well, getting surly quickly and finding her way onto the spanking lap pretty fast. Sybil stays indignant throughout her time under the hand. She struggles a bit (more than Jill, less than Julie) and there's an odd side plot of another woman listening at the motel room door, enjoying the sounds of Sybil's distress.
We also get a picture in picture view. The main screen shows Sybil's ass getting walloped, the smaller picture focuses in on her face. This is brilliant. I'm amazed it didn't show up earlier. Showing us both ends at once is sheer genius. Plus, the director doesn't overuse it. More traditional editing holds sway, but the P-in-P is a lot of fun.
Sybil curses frequently as she's getting worked over. It's a stark contrast to the spanker's almost eloquent abuse and doesn't do much for her, truth be told. She comes off as boorish for all the obscenities she hurls.
There's a nice moment where the spanker pauses to stroke her red ass almost tenderly with his fingertips. It lasts a minute or two and then gives way to hard slaps. The inclusion of that gentle pause made me wonder why the other scenes lacked something similar. It's a great way to break up the constant barrage of spanks and makes the resumption of punishment that much more intense.
Anyway, the scene comes to an end with Sybil stomping off to the bathroom, cussing all the way and obviously not having learned her lesson. Perhaps she'll return in the next volume.

Overall the movie was a winner. Spanking vids are not something I seek out. As mentioned at the beginning I find that most of them are repetitious and dull. RHV, however, has got it down. They are the best I've seen at pure spanking entertainment. They have set the benchmark by which I'm going to judge spanking films. Which is no mean feat. Well done.
