Sexy Bondage 4 (2004) Online

The limitations of bondage videos are obvious to anyone foolish enough (like me) to satisfy his or her curiosity by actually watching a few. Joe Anton (using his J. Anton billing this time around) tries to pull a couple of fast ones by stinting on the cast requirements for this fourth edition of his "Sexy Bondage" series, and I was not amused.

Chintiziness is one thing, but Anton's attempt to pass off a feature length tie-me-up opus with just two actresses is insulting. Fans of bondage and fetish videos are entitled to gaze at a bevy of beauties, and the genre is filled with hundreds of otherwise unemployed models and would-be actresses more than willing to show up for work and fill the bill. But Joe hired only Mary Jane Green and busty Nina Neon to chatter and pose for over an hour -not fair to the fans!

Compounding this cheap trick, he tacks on a final scene supposedly finishing off the non-story by having an uncredited actress who sort of resembles Nina (but does not deliver NN's full nudity, only toplessness) in bondage for the finale as an equally uncredited older lady abuses her. This is presented with zero continuity and Mary Jane absent -filler posing as closure.

With her cute bangs hairdo and lilting little voice, Mary Jane is a delightful performer, but here given little to do other than wriggle her toes, get naked, squirm while trying to escape from her bonds, and whimper and whine while gagged. Nina is more aggressive but a couple of minutes would have sufficed to show off their goodies. Awful bondage maestro Jack Banner makes his usual cameo appearance wearing trademark shades as a bad guy discussing White Slavery with Nina while poor Mary Jane is prepare for auctioning, supposedly to go for $250,000 or more. The budget for this video was more likely in the $500 range, given its meager cast list and typically "empty apartment w/bedroom and closet" cheap settings.
