Remember those four-hour compilations back in the days of VHS tapes, in which only a small number of scenes were actually worth watching, and may have made an okay standard length feature if compiled separately? That’s pretty much what you get with this three-disc collection of four early Chi Chi LaRue films: Total Corruption 1 & 2, Hologram, and Body Search. Don’t go into this expecting the powerhouse porn Chi Chi puts out these days. These decade-old (or more) films show the promise of a future brilliant porn director and some of your favorite porn stars not being used to their full potential. Some scenes are hot and it’s great to have so many big names in one collection, but it isn’t anyone’s finest work.

I’ll make this simple and begin by mentioning some of my favorite moments. In cop-uniform film Total Corruption, Hank Hightower gives Donny Russo a scrumptious rim job; there’s a hot, butch anal penetration scene between two dark-haired hairy hunks in the back of a pickup; Zak Spears is at his bossy best as a police captain during a threesome that involves some great oral and rimming; and Scott Baldwin’s luscious butt gets rammed.

The sequel’s hottest scenes are better: Scott Randsome’s scene with Karl Bruno sizzles—oral, rimming, anal; the cops-on-cars scene between muscular pair Tony Broco and Chris Dano features Broco eating Dano’s ass before getting his hairy tush fucked, followed by an explosive cum shot; Tom Katt’s hairy watermelon ass gets pounded by Scott Randsome. Plus, Blade Thompson’s huge cock gets sucked through a glory hole.

Hologram offers plenty of excellent big-dicked blow jobs, but weak rimming and anal penetration, except when Max Holden’s perfect butt gets filled by Zak Spears. And Zak’s cum shot is a blast. As for Body Search, the oral is again strong, and a young Tom Katt’s shaved butt is as adorable as his future hairy butt. It is deliciously finger fucked by big daddy Steve Regis—but neither hunk gets the penis poke!

The downsides go as follows. In Total Corruption 1, it is implied that the phenomenal ass of Marco Rossi is finally going to be penetrated, but it turns into a lame frottage scene. And in Zak Spears’ threesome, a hunky muscle guy’s gorgeous bubble butt gets NO attention paid to it. In Total Corruption 2, Tom Katt and Shane Cannon seem like an awesome and unexpected pairing, but neither volunteers to top, so things fall flat as an oral/masturbation scene.

Hologram’s anal and rimming footage is mostly as bland as the minimalist black background settings, which leaves much of the action in darkness and shadow. In Body Search, aside from the HORRENDOUS sideburns glued onto the face of one porn star for a flashback scene, Chi Chi was attempting to have a storyline. So glad that was just a phase. This film is so vanilla and generic, you’d never believe it was a Chi Chi creation. Yawn.

Unless you are a devoted fan of everything Chi Chi, or a collector of films by any particular porn star in this collection, you need to recognize this for what it is. It is not a “greatest sex hits of Chi Chi LaRue”, but more of a “look how far Chi Chi has come since then” collection. Which means, you shouldn’t really be in this one for loads of load shooting. There are only a handful of good sex scenes, most of them being in the two Total Corruption films.
