New Uniform Discipline: Volume 1

(Paradox)
Spankings: X/F
Year of Production: 2000
Review by: TB

I will not attempt to conceal my preferences in these reviews, as they would be worthless if they were not a true reflection of my own responses to the videos. That said, we can all recognise quality. We can all identify a film that is structured well, performed well, shot well and edited well, even if the film as a whole disappoints us. I attempt therefore to give credit where it is due, even where a film isn't to my taste. Likewise, I criticise a film, or elements of a film, that I consider weak, unprofessional, careless or lazy, even if the overall effect wins my approval.
I propose to give each video a score out of 10 in each of the following categories:
1) Atmosphere
2) Performance
3) Severity
4) Camera work and Editing
5) Lighting and Sound (only if appropriate - many of the videos I get are poor copies, so it would be unfair to give marks for technical quality when I haven't seen an original.)

A 2 for 'severity', for example, will indicate that little force was used, or pain felt, in the spanking.

The scenario is a doctor's surgery. The video starts with some great close facials of a junior nurse and a schoolgirl waiting to see the doctor. Lots of close-ups of hand wringing and nailbiting. They both look worried, and both are very pretty in an English-rose way. Both are young, no more than twenty-one. The nurse is blonde, while the schoolgirl is an olive-skinned brunette. The uniforms are impeccable, and the schoolgirl really looks like a schoolgirl.

The nurse goes in first. She has been caught masturbating a patient (silly plot line!) and is to be disciplined by doctor. The doctor is youngish, maybe thirty, and overacts - lots of looking over the top of his spectacles. Also, as in most CP videos, the improvised dialogue is pretty awful, often destroying the plausability of the fiction.

A predictable course of events follows for the nurse. Over the knee spanking on knickers and on the bare bum, is followed by a paddling with a leather strap. The girl is made to strip for the paddling, everything except her black stockings. Nice body, but an irritating tattoo on the small of her back - why do they do it???

The caning she gets is good: eighteen strokes which leave visible lines. The positioning of the girls throughout the video is uninspired. For the caning, nurse stands with straight legs and leans over to hold a stool. The doctor rubs some ice cubes on a reddened bottom before delivering the final three strokes. They are the hardest.

This video uses a variety of camera angles, and has every shot except the shot you really want: that is, between the legs and between the bottom cheeks. I suspect there was a kind of censorship in operation during the filming. Maybe the cameraman or the director was too embarrassed to be aggressive with the camera. This is a big fault in a CP film. The cameraman should be on the side of the guy at home with the vcr. Spanking videos are basically voyeuristic in intent, and the most aggressive element in a CP video should be the camera. No matter how hot the spanking action or how gorgeous the buttocks, a passive, lazy, weak camera will render a good spanking scene dull and frustrating.

Anyhow, best views on offer here are a nice over-the-shoulder shot as the doctor spanks the nurse. You see the action from his point of view, which I always find exciting. Nurse has a nice round English bottom. There is a good low-angled side view during the caning. It is a close shot, so you see the texture of the skin. You also see the impact of the cane as it makes the strokes, including that flash of white across the skin before it turns red. Excellent!

The quality of the pictures and sound on this video are well above average. The lighting and the colour are just right too. If you listen to this film on headphones you'll see what I mean about the sound. (I always use headphones now, having once disturbed a neighbour late at night with the sound of a schoolgirl being strapped - I still cringe at the memory - he moved out three months later!) The girls' voices are beautifully recorded and mixed here, with every breath, sigh and groan right in your ear. It is very arousing - don't underestimate the benefits of a quality sound track.

Next in to see the doctor is the schoolgirl. She wants a sick note to avoid going to school. He examines her, finds nothing wrong, and spanks her for deception. When he produces a thermometer to take her temperature, but tells her he isn't going to put it her mouth, your pulse starts racing. You know it's going to be up the bottom. Alas, the scene doesn't deliver. It is way too short. He pulls down her panties as she bends over, but then just touches the thermometer between her cheeks. Then its over. It could have been a great scene. This girl looks fantastic as a schoolgirl, and the scenario with her doctor was just crying out for more humiliation. There should have been a lingering closeup as he spreads her cheeks, lubricates the thermometer, and inserts it up her bottom. Then we should have had a close shot of her face to see her reaction to the intrusion. Instead we are just teased. Twice during the spanking he takes her temperature again, but by now the idea has lost its momentum. It's also silly in terms of plot. Anyway, you know by now you won't see what you want to see, and you don't.

The girl overacts during the light spanking, with too much movement and too much noise. She strips for her paddling, showing lovely young tits. The light paddling is followed by doctor putting cream on her bottom, which is always a nice touch, but again, the camera lets us down. She isn't caned.

On the whole this video is good to watch and good to listen to. I suspect good technical equipment was used. The doctor tries too hard to act, and would have been better off playing down his part, and fulfilling his real function - as catalyst between the girl's spanking humiliation and the camera. The drama will come naturally from that. The girls are lovely, but I suspect the model who played the schoolgirl isn't ready to take a decent strapping or caning, and is therefore unlikely to make a good CP player. The nurse is game and has great reactions. Also on the plus side: authentic location and great uniforms. Lots of strong ideas (the ice-cubes, the thermometer, the cream, the close-ups). The right intentions are there, and I'd like to see them have another go. But two memories remain in the memory from this video: lazy positioning of girls during punishment, and a camera that is either too shy or too mean-spirited to be the viewer's friend.

Sister Act

(Red Stripe)
Spankings: X/F
Year of Production: 1999
Review by: TB

Red Stripe are almost certainly the UK's premier makers of CP videos. Not everything they produce is great, but there is a consistency and professionalism to their work that cannot be matched by anybody else. From the moment you press the play button and that sombre Red Stripe music begins, you know you're in the hands of genuine CP enthusiasts.

Sister Act is among their best productions. It also features my favourite male Dominant in the business. He is a middle-aged man who exudes authority. He looks like a company director, a senior medical consultant, a Judge - something important. I wouldn't be surprised if he is quite wealthy.

The other great thing about Sister Act is the camera work and editing. It is so uplifting to see that a UK CP company has made forward strides in the area of camera work. It is long overdue. A CP film is only as good as the camera work, and this fact may at last be sinking in.

The story here is that two sisters (who don't look alike) have come home late from a night out. Wearing just underwear they are scolded by their mother (unseen) who decides to send them to their uncle Jack for discipline. Jack is the brother of the sisters' dead father. The younger girl is a blonde called Anna who is still at school, while the older girl, a brunette called Sophie, is at work. The film tries to portray a normal family from the lower middle class.

The sisters show up at uncle Jack's house wearing the clothes they would normally wear to school and work respectively. The blonde schoolgirl goes first. I have seen her in a few CP videos. She is attractive but not a beauty, and can take a good thrashing. I like her. She is slim but with a cute bottom, gives good reactions and can become quite tearful under the cane. First its over the knee for a handspanking, over white knickers first, then on the bare. She is lectured firmly and convincingly by Uncle Jack throughout. Then its about 25 with the strap while bending over, skirt tucked up, hands on a chair. Sophie meanwhile is made to sit on a tall stool, her back to the camera, skirt rucked up, with her bottom pushed back. Her black silk knickers are still on.

The cane is then produced for Anna. She gets it over the tall stool, leaning right over with hands holding the legs low down on the far side. She takes 12 like this, and then a further 6 while touching toes. You see everything you want to see here. There is one mobile camera, getting some great low-angle and close shots of bamboo impact, and one other camera doing behind shots. There is no reluctance to shoot close between legs and cheeks or to move around during the action, to pan down legs and rotate around to the face. Good stuff. There are also some inset shots, where you see Anna's facial reactions in a little box over the main shot of her bottom being caned. Usually I'm not convinced by insets, but here they add something. They are used judicially and in moderation. The editing is generally very good in this video.

Anna sounds like she's close to tears at the end, but we dont' see a tear-streaked face. She has a fetching way of rubbing her bottom after the strap and cane, opening her cheeks in a very sexy way. If you like spread bum-cheeks, this is a good video for you. Knickers off, Anna is made to sit on the tall stool, back to the camera, while Sophie is spanked. Her bum moons out over the edge of the stool behind, cane-streaked cheeks widely parted, pussy and anus open. The camera zooms in on it more than once.

Sophie is a tall leggy brunette with a sophisticated French bob hairdo and a well-structured face. The beauty of her is that she still looks deliciously vulgar. She never fully loses her detached aloofness during the course of the film, but the cane definitely brings her down a peg or two. Being an office girl she wears black stockings and suspenders. I think I'm too young to appreciate these garments properly. On the whole I prefer to see a girl's thighs au natural, even if they have some cellulite. In fact, I find cellulite rather feminine. Anyway, Sophie doesn't look like she's got cellulite.

She gets spanked over uncle Jack's knee, over black pants first, then on the bare. He really is good at lecturing them on their bad behaviour, and spanks hard. You feel they deserve their punishment. There is also a nice sense that Sophie is too old to be treated like this, like a little girl, but it remains nicely unstated. Then its the strap, bending over with hands on the sofa. You can tell by the impact that it hurts. He really lays in. About thirty strokes, with two different straps.

For Sophie's caning over the tall stool, Anna is made to kneel on the sofa, back to the camera. Anna opens her knees and bends right over, skirt up, revealing everything between her cheeks and thighs. The camera doesn't let you down either, but closes in. Nice moment. Sophie takes about 22 with the bamboo, a straight handled rod without the traditional schoolroom crook. They are good strokes. Close shots show the weals reddening, and insets show the distress in her dark eyes and on her vulgar face. When its over she is made to join Anna kneeling on the sofa. Throughout, Sophie has managed to retain some dignity by not revealing her anus, even when rubbing her bum. But kneeling on the sofa she reaches back with both hands to sooth her bottom, pulling the cheeks apart. Wonderful. And the camera captures it. Unfortunately uncle Jack tells her to stop rubbing a moment too soon - his only mistake in an excellent film.

Cross Country

(Red Stripe)
Spankings: M/FF
Year of Production: 1999
Review by: TB

This video features the same male Dominant as Sister Act. The girls are different. Two sixth form schoolgirls, wearing just white knickers, vests and training shoes, are out on a cross country run at Ashworth School. They stop to have a cigarette, are caught by the Headmaster, and sent back to his study for punishment.

His presence exerts an atmosphere that is both calm and serious, very like that of a traditional English school. His tone and demeanour command the respect and attention on his girls, and his videos never deteriorate into farce. The study is well decorated, with globe, boater, books and canes all stategically placed. Perhaps the desk is a touch small.

First the girls are made to do some exercises in the study, to make up for not doing the cross-country run. Mostly running on the spot and bending over. Looks good in just the white vests and underpants.

The first to be spanked otk is Julia, the slimmer of the two blondes in the video. Some on the panties first, then on the bare. The spanking is pretty firm and the camera work is good, giving you a variety of angles from around the scene, including some nice red-cheeked close-ups.

Then it's Maria's turn to go across the knee. She is heavier than Julia, but in an attractive full-bottomed kind of way. Her mid-blonde hair is tied into two schoolgirl pigtails that spring out at the side of her head. She is deemed to be the naughtier of the two, and is certainly the cheekier, in every sense.

Back to Julia, who is now called for the paddle, a wicked looking rounded implement of brown leather. She has her underpants taken down by the Headmaster when she bends over his desk. This thing hurts, and she reddens quickly. Soon she is snivelling and it sounds real - maybe 25 strokes. Camera is good again, with nice low-angles showing her pink pussy peeping back, as well as some from high up. She holds her bottom tightly at the end, parting her cheeks to give a glimpse of her anus - the camera gets it. A few shots from the front would have been nice, but maybe the desk was too close to the wall.

Maria gets an even bigger paddle, because she is the ringleader. I like this girl's behind: she has big thighs and a wide, rounded English arse. The lighting is good too, so you get real skin tone, including the 'imperfections'. But this girl is not flabby, just substantial. Boy can she take some stick too! This guy is hitting her hard with that paddle and he doesn't even come close to breaking her. She reddens ok, and 'ouches' a bit, but nowhere near tears. But it is a sign of his integrity, and to his credit, that he doesn't try to break her. He remains firm but fair, leaving her the choice to remain stoical.

Then its the cane, a thick rattan by the look of it, straight-handled with black tape around one end. Julia is first. Over the desk again with panties down. After six she is snivelling and black bruises are beginning to form beneath the skin. At twelve she is feeling very sorry for herself, but the camera doesn't give you a tear-stained face. She is allowed to rub her bottom a few times, affording us some nice intimate views.

Maria takes 22 strokes in all, one extra for rubbing her bum without permission, and three extra because the Headmaster wants to make sure she has learned her lesson. Again, she takes them remarkably well. Although there are cane tracks on her buttocks, she is not badly marked. Some girls mark more easily than others. She uses both hands to rub her bottom at the end, while still bending over the desk, but you only get a hint of what's between her cheeks, and a glimpse of pussy. This movie didn't quite get to the core of Maria - I'd like to see her taken further next time.

For fans of schoolgirl spanking - particularly the knickers and vest variety - this video will be manna from heaven. By any standards it's good, with attractive young girls and firm traditional discipline. Sister Act may well end up being a Red Stripe classic.

The New Head Girl

(Red Stripe)
Spankings: F/FF
Year of Production: 1999
Review by: TB

There is a fourth girl in this schoolgirl drama from Red Stripe, but she plays only a minor role. She is a telltale, and reports the two younger girls to the Head Girl. She is then allowed to witness their punishment, and we see a few shots of her grinning with glee as the other two have their bottoms beaten. This is an excellent incidental plot line which adds depth and psychological complexity to the drama.

The new Head Girl is in fact the same dominatrix of 'Campbell's Finishing School' and 'The Wrath of Mrs Benton Mayor'. It is a credit to her that she looks and acts convincingly as a senior schoolgirl.

Anyhow, two schoolgirls, Natalie and Nicola, are caught smoking and drinking in the grounds of the school. There are good up-skirt shots of them on a park bench, taken by a roving camera. They are taken to the newly installed head girl for corporal punishment.

The action takes place in a large imposing institutional room with a high ceiling and a huge mantle piece. A good atmosphere is established. The room is lit brightly, no doubt by film lights, and a touch of glare comes off the white shirts and walls. However, better to have scenes slightly overlit than slightly underlit.

The two girls, in knee length white socks, black shoes, white blouses and ties, short grey skirts, are very persuasive as schoolgirls. One is a brunette, Nicola, who looks a bit like Mick Jagger! The other has blonde hair arranged into two long plaits at the side of her head, and is magnificently plump.

Alarm bells start ringing (not literally!) when the brunette goes over the knee for a spanking. It becomes obvious that she can't take it. The Dominatrix does all she can to settle her, using both patience and firmness, but to no avail. The girl is just too nervy and it starts to fall apart. She screeches and clenches at light spanks, spoiling the rhythm of the film. Her caning is a farce, and the Dominatrix almost loses patience with her twice before finally giving up altogether. It wasn't the Dom's fault. She did a good job just to keep it respectable. The girl was obviously wrong for the role. She gets a couple of good cane strokes I suppose, and the best shot is when she pulls her whipped cheeks hard apart for the camera.

The brunette aside, this is a splendid CP video. If plump schoolgirls with a touch of puppy fat about their bums and thighs is your thing, you'll adore blonde Natalie in this. She takes her strapping and her caning very well and is an authentic-looking schoolgirl. First it's otk for a hard spanking, white panties up first, then down. Then a decent bare-bottomed strapping bending over with hands on an upright chair. Her reactions are muted but authentic. She is really trying to take it well. The canings are given over a table, and Natalie takes 20 strokes.

The camera work is good here too, as is the editing. This is rare for an English CP video. The roving camera catches a lot of the best shots, and gives good variety too. Some lovely low-angled close shots show the delicious curdly texture of Natalie's white thighs, and also the outswelling roundness of her bottom. We don't get a lingering shot of her stripes afterwards. I'd love to see her do another CP film.

Twenty Questions

(Red Stripe)
Spankings: F/FF
Year of Production: 199?
Review by: TB

The Dominatrix who disciplines the schoolgirls in this video is perhaps the most accomplished of any in the UK. Somewhere in her thirties, she is a veteran of a host of schoolgirl and prison CP films. Check her out in 'Doing Hard Time', 'Times Get Harder', 'The Gang Mistress', 'Bathtime Beatings', to name but a few. All by Red Stripe I think. Her trademark is calmness. She speaks slowly and deliberately and she moves in similar fashion. Her films are always nicely paced with no rushing. She raises her voice only occasionally. Her detached, brooding character generates a slightly dark and tense mood which is perfect for CP. I suspect too that she has a good instinct for what the viewer at home wants from a CP video.

The two schoolgirls in this video are caught smoking and drinking (sound familiar?) when they should be at dentention. They are taken to a classroom where they are set twenty questions while sitting at desks. They don't behave themselves properly during the test so are taken to the teacher's private study to be beaten. These girls have been doubly bad.

The two girls here, a blonde and a brunette, have appeared in other schoolgirl CP videos. The brunette is something of a favourite at Red Stripe (see her in 'Indecent Exposure' for one), partly because she is pretty, has on-screen personality, and can take a good thrashing, but also because she has a large round backward-projecting behind whose cheeks open delighfully when she bends over.

The girls are first spanked bare-bottomed while lying on a sofa over Teacher's knee. It is pretty hard and they turn a nice shade of scarlet. Then its a leathering with a wide paddle while bending over with hands on the sofa. Both girls are paddled at the same time, a practice I don't really approve of on video. It never really works. One at a time is better. Finally its the cane. They take 18 strokes each while bending over with legs apart, and are made to count backwards, from 18 down to 1. They are hard enough and the girls end up quite marked. The camera work is okay, with some nice low-angled behind shots of the caning. The brunette's cheeks spread beautifully.

The main problem with this video is that the models 'act' the schoolgirl roles too much. Thankfully that's a fashion in decline. The school uniforms do the acting by themselves and don't need much help. It is the uniforms themselves and the attitude of the Dominatrix that establish the identity of the submissive. That aside, this is a good schoolgirl spanking video, and was much in demand in London in the mid 90s.

'Campbell's Finishing School' has a similar atomosphere to Benton Mayor, but in a different location. It is set in what looks like the upstairs (the living quarters) of an old gothic church. Our two girls have not been performing well in choir rehearsal, and are to be punished.

One is a very slim blonde - Mary; the other a more curvy brunette - Teresa. Both are about 20 and attractive. Like Benton Mayor, both become very submissive and obedient in the presence of this charismatic Dominatrix. She spanks them hard and is firm with the verbals.

There is a knicker inspection before the spanking, with dresses raised - nice touch.

Mary, the blonde, is nervous, with a very slim bottom. She goes first and finds herself over the knee. Her short skirt is raised and she is spanked on her white panties. Then they come down, and she takes it on the bare bottom. She goes very red, and makes some alarming unrehearsed noises. She is told to stand, remove her skirt, and stand in the corner with hands on head.

Teresa the brunette is next. For me she is the star of this video. A nicely-shaped plump bottom, with a meek submissive manner, she appears very contrite. She too is spanked otk, and has her panties and black skirt removed at the end. She wears black stockings throughout. I am of that younger generation for whom stockings hold no special sexual allure. I find tights (or pantyhose) more real, and therefore more exciting. On the whole I prefer women to be spanked bare-legged and bare-footed. I don't object to stockings, but they don't add anything for me. Short white socks, or knee socks, with flat shoes can be a turn-on in the schoolgirl situation.

Then its time for the paddle. A badly-positioned table is used to support the girls. It's too small and too close to the wall, making shots of the face impossible. A little forethought could have sorted this out. Blondie goes first, lying flat on her belly, bottom up, but knees annoyingly bent. A heavy paddle is used and this girl really feels it. Her reactions are authentic. She is tense for the duration.

The paddling of the brunette, Teresa, is probably the highlight of the video. She has her plump round botty properly leathered while lying obediently belly-down over the table. She takes it well and her arse turns a bright red with purple at the fringes. About forty strokes.

Next the girls are made to strip for the cane. I always find tits attractive when they are pushed against a table with the girl bending over. Mary gets it first. The first three are given bent over with hands on knees. This slim blonde is unable to take a good caning - too nervy and apprehensive, although this will be a turn-on for some spanking devotees. After these she is bent over the table again to have cream applied to her bottom by the Dominatrix, before she takes the rest. The brunette is asked to hold her down for the remainder. Mary takes about 12 strokes in all, and is in tears by the end, although we don't get to see her weepy face. When its over she is made to stand by the side of the table, bending over with her hands on a chair, red bottom in shot.

Then its Teresa's turn. She takes about 18 strokes in all, has the cream applied to her bum, and is nicely lined and marked by the end with a mixture of stripes, raised welts and purble blotches.

The questionable editing practise of repeating strokes from a different camera, and even the same camera, is much in evidence here, particularly during the caning. But nobody is being fooled. I don't mind seeing the same stroke from another perspective, but don't like having my intelligence insulted. There is scope for inventive editing in caning footage, but let's keep it real!

There are two cameras at work here, both pretty unimaginative and dull. Most of these cameramen and editors don't understand that there must be a balance between wide shots, mid shots, close mid shots, and close ups. These are the basic laws of film-making. It keeps it interesting for the eye, and generates a pleasing rhythm. They rely too heavily on the mid shot, where both spanker and spanked are in full view. You don't need to get everything into every shot! Go read some books on film! Also, people into CP are into bottoms. We must have good lingering close shots of bottoms. That is a priority. There are a few here, not enough, and no really intimate views.

In the round, this is a good UK CP video, with a good cast, a good location, and a good atmosphere. The girls are lovely, the dominatrix a star. A little more forethought could have made it even better.

Fetch The Cane

(Nu-West){Editor's note: I believe this video was released by Cal Star in the U.S. and is no longer available.}
Spankings: MF/F
Year of Production: 1986
Review by: TB

Nu West are the most ambitious of the American CP film producers. This video has a domestic setting, based around the scenario of a mother, her daughter, and a stepfather. If I remember correctly, the daughter has been naughty at school and is to be punished. The girl is supposed to be young, and the model playing her is suitably small, slim and uncurvy. She has small tits and is shaved between her legs, although there are no closeups of her cunt. The mother, played by an Australian by the sound of it, is quite severe and in control. The stepfather is middle-aged and believable. There is hand-spanking, and either hairbrushing or paddling, followed by a bare-bummed caning.

The nicest touch in this video, and the most original, is when our young lady is taken upstairs to the bathroom for a pee and an enema, so she doesn't mess up the carpet while being caned. We see her sitting on the lavatory, and hear the tinkle as she pees. We also see Mommy taking down the red-bagged enema kit from the shower rail and lubricating the nozzle with vaseline. Alas, there the camera cuts away (sigh!), and we next see mother leading daughter into the livingroom by the hand. The caning is dished out by stepfather while daughter is held over a tall stool by Mommy. The caning is too noisy and frantic, and the metal stool an awkward frame. Our girlie is made to spread her legs while over the tall stool, and we do get glimpses of anus and pussy, but the cameraman does not give us the best views, as is so often the case.

The biggest problem with this video is that everything is rushed. In fact, rushing is one of the major problems in CP films generally. Directors really need to bear this in mind when shooting. Viewers at home, in front of a small screen, are in a different time frame, and need action and dialogue to be very clear and deliberate. Otherwise everything seems hurried and chaotic. Also, the model playing the girl overacted, and there was too much unconvincing 'no Mommie, no!' The best way to portray a schoolgirl is through her costume and through the attitude of those dealing with her. No character acting please.

This is a good film nevertheless, bold and original. It has a strong sense of what it is trying to do, and to a large extent succeeds. A little more care and preparation could have yielded a classic. It was much in demand in London early in 2000. I would like to see a follow up.

Since writing this I've read (on this website) that this film was made way back in '86, and that Nu-West have withdrawn this title and other girlie style spanking videos. What a pity!

Reform School Punishments

(Raven Hill Studios)
Spankings: F/FF, M/F, and M/FF
Year of Production: mid 1990's
Review by: TB

The best thing about this film is the camera work. It is a roving or mobile camera, which keeps the viewer interested through different angles and perspectives. It also gives some very intimate shots, giving the feeling that you are very close to the action. I'm strongly in favour of having at least one roving camera per production. It gives the final product another dimension.

The basic situation of this video - a girls'reform school where the inmates get beaten for breaking the rules - is one of my favourites. Done well, reform school or prison videos can be the most atmospheric and exciting of them all. Action can take place in bedrooms/cells as well as in punishment chambers and classrooms. Opportunities for humiliation abound, whether in public showers or toilets, in canteens or in gyms, outdoors in the work yard or on the farm.

The action in this video takes place in a cell sleeping two female inmates, and in a special punishment room. The punishment room is fitted out with an X-shaped whipping frame, parallel to the floor and about three feet off the ground. It is the second best thing in this video. Fans of traditional CP (like me!) might be a bit unsure about this frame at first, as it leans a little towards bondage. But I got used to it quickly, and love the way the X-frame spreads the legs of the tethered girl. Split-fig pussies pout back at the viewer beautifully in this position. I rather wished the centre of the X had a raised hump, to part the girl's buttocks as well as her legs. I adore to see an anus during a thrashing.

There are three attractive girls in the video and a male warden. There is a side show of two male voyeurs who pay to see the girls spanked - nice idea but it becomes irrelevant. Two of the girls are new to the reform school, the third is experienced.

The first scene sees the experienced girl whipped over the X-frame by the warden. He uses a folded-over belt, which I find ridiculous. This is the worst aspect of the video. The scene of a reformatory demands a much more official punishment instrument, like a school paddle, a strap or a cane. The strokes are light, but given in a lively way, and accompanied by much 'ow'ing and 'ouch'ing. Not very convincing. But the roving camera work is very good, with facial and between-leg shots.

Next scene has the experienced girl in the twin cell of the new girls. They are in bed. They all wear white bras and pants. The new girls are given otk spankings and hair-brushings on the bare bottoms by the experienced girl, for idling in bed. They are light strokes and accompanied by annoying yells of 'quit!' and 'enough!'. Valley-girl gibberish it sounds like. Nevertheless, they both have attractive legs and bottoms.

Experienced girl comes back later to put cream on the new girls' smacked bottoms, and there follows a three way lesbian scene on one bunk. The girls are completely naked for this. Again, lovely camera, including the only anus shots in the video.

They are all caught by the warden, and the two new girls are given a strapping on the X-frame in the punishment room. Fairly tame stuff by today's standards, but the horny spread-leg apparatus and nice camera work make this video worth having a look at.

Relative Temptation is not one of the best from Strictly English. The story here is that a man has his horny young sister-in-law staying at his house, ostensibly looking for somewhere else to live. When his wife is away she tries to seduce him.

While he's out of the house she finds his collection of spanking literature and equipment in a suitcase - Janus magazines aplenty as well as straps and canes. (This stuff will look very familiar!) She is sexually aroused by the material she sees and begins masturbating. He catches her and she suggests he punish her in the corporal way.

I've seen this girl in at least one other Strictly English video - a standard schoolgirl number. She has nice rounded, deep-set buttocks which spread nicely when she assumes the position. I'd say she's in her late 20s. Here she is spanked, paddled and caned, leaving her nicely marked at the end.

The idea is that she is turned on by the beating. Lots of close lingering camera shots here, revealing plenty of bum hole and pussy. Cream is applied and a good deal of intimate fingering used. It is enjoyable to watch, although it would be much better is she wasn't enjoying it so much. I think you get the picture.

This video - as with much stuff by Strictly English - is driven by another facet of CP: bottom worship. It takes you close to those cheeks, between and below them, as they are reddened and stimulated through spanking and caning. I don't have a problem with this, as there is no greater devotee of the female behind than myself, but the film lacks the bite of a movie whose main aim is discipline and punishment. Ideally, a CP film should incorporate both elements: bottom worship (even its only the camera doing the worshipping) and strict, non-negotiable punishment. Is it too much to ask to have both in one film?

I suspect the person who runs Strictly English is the man who gives out most of the canings in the films. Anyway, the company is responsible for some very good material and is a valuable addition to the CP scene. Videos from Strictly English tend to have an erotic element that other companies shy away from. You always get the feeling at the end of a Strictly English movie that the fun is just about to begin, that the caner will steer his red-bottomed filly into the nearest bedroom to fuck her silly. Maybe he does. You get the impression he seeks out models who sexually enjoy being submissive. Anyhow, check out 'Little Red Apples', parts 1,2 and 3 (including bottom-centred underwater footage), and also 'House', parts 1 and 2, for some good Strictly English videos. They do some nice schoolgirl and uniform stuff too, but I can't remember the titles right now.

Meter Beatings

(Red Stripe)
Spankings: F/FF
Year of Production: 1999
Review by: TB

The plot of this film pushes at the limits of plausability, but there is enough interesting action to make this one from Red Stripe well worth seeing.

The woman from the gas company comes to read the meter and finds that it has been tampered with. The two girls in the house agree to take corporal punishment instead of being reported to the police.

The blonde dominatrix here is young and petite, and intitially a little unconvincing, but aided by a fine piece of equipment, produces a pretty good performance. In her van she happens to have a whipping stool (don't laugh!) which she brings in to horse the dishonest young women for the rod. But first they are spanked.

One of the girls is a magnificent Indian (or Pakistani) woman, who is tall and broad in the beam. This is an unusual sight in a CP movie and immediately raises the interest levels. When her panties are taken down to unveil her bottom for punishment, you feel you are seeing something private and illicit. I enjoyed this no end. Too often we are denied access to these colourful women, on screen and on the street. It is very rare indeed to see beneath the sari. She has a big bottom - broad, long, and plump, with a special olive colour. We're not talking 'fat' here, just big. A maternal bottom, you might say, although the woman is no more than 23. The other girl is attractive too, a more conventional blonde, with a lovely round bottom.

The spanking is straighforward enough, and taken in a rather lighthearted way. Things become more serious when the girls go over the whipping stool. This is a splendid piece of furniture: a waist-high, trestle-shaped frame with a curved leather scroll to lie over. It was made for the sole purpose of horsing bodies for corporal punishment. It looks like an antique and is very sturdy. Fans of formal, military or judicial CP will love this object.

First over it is the Indian girl for the strap. She gets a good leathering, and I'm sure it hurt. She is made to spread her big thighs outside the frame for some of the strokes, and you get to see pussy peeping back. But her cheeks are heavy enough to prevent any anal winking. Pity! When she and the slimmer blonde swap places you see a bit more. After the strap its the cane. The blonde takes it harder and marks better, with some good spread-leg shots.

This is an interesting video from Red Stripe, and a favourite among some I suspect. The Dominatrix has potential, but is perhaps guilty of rushing a bit here, and allowing a note of hysteria to creep in. The atmosphere remains lighthearted as a consequence, despite the efforts of the Dominatrix to be severe. None of the gut-wrenching scariness of a Rig-East movie is evident here, but enough interest to keep your pulse rate up; definitely something worth seeing.

Class of '97

(Playback)
Spankings: M/FF and M/F
Year of Production: 1997
Review by: TB

'Class of 97' has a cast of five: two chaps and three girls. It's a schoolgirl video.

The film opens with a girl from the local school visiting a businessman in his office after hours. She is dressed in uniform. They have a relationship whereby he gives her chocolate bars and spends money on her if she lets him spank her. She is cute in a cockney way, has a nice body, and has a lot to say for herself: cheeky in every sense of the word.

The businessman (not dressed in a suit) is a bit crude in his manner, but he does stay in control. He is quite good on humiliation, and has the girl holding her skirt up for him with knickers down, doing excercises in front of him with her skirt off and shirt open, as well as bending over in front of him to touch her toes - not that we get the best views!

The hand-spanking is quite hard and she reddens nicely. If you like a feisty girl who doesn't suppress her reactions or personality you'll enjoy her. The paddling over the table, with two different implements, is pretty hard too, and she takes over 60 strokes in all. Her bottom is animated during the punishment, wobbling and clenching at intervals, but she keeps it loose and relaxed for the strokes. It is a nice bottom, but not a classic.

There is a variety of shots, from two cameras, including a few low-angle between-leg shots of the paddling, which you'll enjoy. Pussy but no anus. But in the main the cameras don't compliment each other's work - no real co-ordination. After the paddling the girl takes the sweets and goes. We don't see her again until the last scene of the video.

Next scene has two girls in school uniform sitting at desks in a classroom. They are worried about why the headmaster has sent for them, and fear it is because they have been to the tattoo parlour. There is quite a lot of dialogue between the two girls here, and both the camera work and verbals are good. An atmosphere is established. One of the girls, an American, has a dark bob, while the other, a Brit, has mid brown shaggy shoulder length hair.

When the Head arrives both girls are made to strip to their underwear for inspection. They have denied they have tattoos. (It is the same tall, unkempt caner from 'Class of 99', 'Class of 96' and numerous others.) Neither girl is wearing a bra. It is only when he pulls down their underpants that he finds the tattoos. The tattoo on the English girl really is monstrous - two figures in bondage, about ten inches high, beside some kind of table, all done in black ink. It almost covers one entire buttock. I Hope its only a painting. By comparison, the tattoo on the American looks like a postage stamp. I would normally find that huge tattoo a real turn-off, but this English girl has such a cute, pouty little bottom, I can live with the defacement.

Both girls are spanked bare otk. It is not hard, and you sense the headmaster is really only feeling them up a bit before the caning. Some nice pussy-peeping shots. These girls are slim and petite, the American girl too thin for my tastes - her pelvic bone structure is prominent in an underfed kind of way.

The caning is good. They only take about seven or eight strokes each (these are little bottoms), but clear stripes mark the areas of impact. The English girl has a lovely sexy habit of reaching back after each stroke to yank up her cheeks, revealing enticing glimpses of her anal ring - nothing prolonged. Both girls give good reactions too, displaying the right mixture of obedience, fortitude and apprehension. A degree of 'acting' is going on, but enough 'real' stuff is happening to make the performances good.

The final scene has the girl who is spanked for chocolate before the Headmaster in his study. She has been found out, and the Head spies bruises on her bum. No preliminary spanking here, straight on to the cane. Bent over with hands on shins, she takes about six over her white knickers with skirt raised. Then it's knickers down for six more. This girl doesn't mark as easily as the other two, but she takes a reasonable thrashing. Some low-angled side views, showing some flesh tone, is the highlight of the camera work here.

Quite a substantial film by UK standards: three separate scenes and locations, and five players. The spanking action is hard enough to keep you interested, but nothing to make you gasp a la rig-east. The atmosphere is on the whole light, occasionally frivolous, and that for me is the weakness of the video. The girls are sexy, the school uniforms good, and some people will no doubt love Class of 97.

Double Jointed

(Red Stripe)
Spankings: X/F
Year of Production: 1999
Review by: TB

Red Stripe is a name I associate with quality CP films. They are an experienced company with a history of producing videos regularly and to a high standard. Double Jointed, I'm afraid, does not do justice to the reputation. It just doesn't deliver. Double-jointed takes its name from the opening scene of the video in which two schoolgirls are caught with a hashish joint. They are both sent to the headmaster to be punished.

They arrive in his study (a great location, used in many Red Stipe productions) wearing school uniforms of shirt, tie, short grey skirts, white socks and shoes. A good start.

The headmaster, a veteran of countless UK spanking films, wastes no time in setting the scene and revealing his intentions. In his fifties (I'm guessing) this man is convincing as a headmaster, and is surely among the top three male Doms in notching up appearances in UK CP videos. His manner is strict, that of a firm teacher, but you feel he is soft at heart. I suspect girls working with him think so too. They are often cheeky to him in his videos, even though he is more than capable of cutting them down to size with a good tongue lashing. His beatings are never more than moderate in severity, but his experience ensures prolonged action. He always remains in charge with the girls, and is good at heaping on humiliation. Check out his excellent 'Indecent Exposure' from Red Stripe. Girls, however, don't seem to be intimidated in his presence, and there is perhaps not the same level of 'tension' on set with him as there is with other Dominants. I know some CP enthusiasts don't like him in videos, but I rate him as a disciplinarian, specially when he allows his instinct for humiliation a free hand.

Anyhow, back to Double Jointed. I just don't like the girls so it doesn't work for me. This is unusual, as the normal reasons for an unsuccessful CP video are:
1. Bad camera work and editing
2. Rushing by the Dominant
3. Bad positioning of the girls by the Dominant
4. Lack of verbal skill by the Dominant
5. Bad lighting and location
But none of the above are to blame for the failure of Double Jointed.

Bottom line with this film is the girls treat it as a joke, and are not really made uncomfortable enough during the video to change their attitude. I'm not blaming the Dominant here. I just think these girls are wrong for the job. They are both tall, slim and leggy, mid twenties, possibly working in the glamour business. They seem streetwise and confident - the sort of girls you see in winebars. They are probably there for the fee, for the thrill of being on camera, and for the unusual experience of 'acting' in a CP video. But it all adds up to nothing in the end. This for me is a turkey.

However, if you particularly like tall, leggy, cheeky women with slim bottoms, this might do something for you. One has bleached blonde hair cut into a short bob, the other has long straight dark hair. The blonde is punished first. She has a particularly narrow, slim bottom. First she is spanked otk, then she is strapped while holding the seat of a chair. Her white knickers are down for most of this. A nice moment is when she asks to close her legs to stop the strap from hitting her bum hole. The brunette, who is sitting on a tall stool with her back to the camera, knickers down (nice touch), keeps making cheeky comments. She is made to go to the blackboard each time to add extra cane strokes beside her name. She ends up with about 30 extra strokes. They reverse positions so now its the brunette getting spanked and strapped with the blonde on the stool making cheeky comments. She too earns extra cane strokes.

There are two cameras in operation, so you get a variety of shots, both facials and back views. There are a few glimpses of anus (specially when they rub their behinds or stand up from a bending position) and pussy, but no good close lingering shots of the girls' bottoms.

They get caned eventually, lying tummy-down on the teacher's desk. These are the best shots in the video. They appear to take about thirty five strokes of the cane apiece, but there are few marks at the end to prove it. Just a pinkish glow. Maybe the lighting was wrong. The strokes sounded good, as did the strapping, but not much to show for it. Then its knickers back on and 'The End'. Very disappointing.

High Flyers

(Paradox/Spanking For Pleasure)
Spankings: M/F
Year of Production: 199?
Review by: TB

I hope 'High Flyers' is the right title. That's what was handwritten on the cassette when it came into my possession.

This is set in a school gymnasium. Schoolgirl turns up late for detention. She is wearing uniform of gymslip, blazer, short white socks and pumps. She hands the gym instructor a sick note which she wrote herself.

First he has her doing some excercises on a low beam - nothing which reveals anything of her underwear. She doesn't want to do it and suggests he spank her instead.

I like this girl: she is sullen, hard-nosed and believable. She appears in 'Caned at knicker inspection' too, and can take a good hiding. She has what I'd call dirty blonde hair, straight, and worn in two sloppy pigtails. First she is hand-spanked over the knee - both on navy blue knickers and on the bare bum. Then its a strapping over a gym horse or vaulting horse. I love this piece of apparatus. It is so official. It sets the pulse racing with its associations to school days, scouts, and military training. It is also flexible: culprits can be bent over it from the side, legs straight or parted, or placed along its top. There are many possibilities. Anyhow, our heroine is lifted up and placed over the horse from the side, legs dangling in the air. She is then strapped - about 40 medium strokes - with her skirt up and her knickers pulled up between her cheeks.

She is then taken down and caned on the bare bottom, bent over to touch her toes. The gym instructor keeps his cane and his strap in the top of an upright piano. It is a good caning, with the marks and welts quite visible. I always count, but can't remember exactly how many strokes - about twelve. He gives her one really good one at the end, which has her bolt upright, clench her cheeks, and reach back to feel for any damage. The gym instructor does a lot of caressing and rubbing during the beating, which sometimes I like and sometimes I don't. Here I find it quite sexy, as the girl would much rather have her arse felt, however lewdly, than have more with the cane.

Finally he makes her strip, face the wall with her hands on her head, so that we can look at her caned bottom. They should linger on this shot longer, from a variety of angles, so we voyeurs can admire the handywork, and allow our imaginations (if not our right hands!) go to work.

I believe there is only one camera here, but there is a variety of shots, including facials and close-ups of the bottom being caned. The lighting in the gym is suitably stark and unflattering, showing real skin tone. There aren't any good pussy or anus shots to speak of, but they are suggested during the otk spanking and when she rubs her bottom.

This shortish video has a good atmosphere. The grubby gym with dilapidated equipment evokes perfectly a girls' school in provincial England. The gym instructor is not a natural in front of the camera, but he is lecherous and sordid, and compliments the scene very well. I haven't seen him in anything else. There is no suggestion of 'acting' here, either by the girl or the teacher, which lends the whole piece a sense of 'the real'. I could recommend this to fans of schoolgirl CP.

Caned at Knicker Inspection

(Unknown)
Spankings: M/F
Year of Production: 1990's
Review by: TB

My copy of this video has no sound. It still remains one of my favourites. Should I ever get the opportunity to buy the complete version, I'll take it.

Words are not the most important factor in figuring out what's going on in a CP video - as anybody who's watched the splendid Rig-East films will testify to. The camera should reveal everything you need to know about plot. But the sound of a cane whistling through the air, and the vocal reactions of a girl who has felt its impact, are very important, and an essential part of the CP video experience. I have been deprived of this experience with the above title, and have relied on my imagination to fill in the gaps.

A schoolgirl in uniform stands before her headmaster. Before them, on the table, are some pairs of girls' knickers. Whether they are the wrong kind, or are soiled in some unacceptable way, I do not know. I'd like to imagine the latter. Either way, she is to be punished for the state of her knickers.

There is no warm-up handspanking or strapping here. We move straight on to the cane. This adds a nice touch of realism to the scene. Too many videos follow the tired old procedure of over-the-knee spanking, followed by the strap, and finally the cane. A real-life punishment would never happen like that: it would be one thing or the other. I understand the commercial reasons for touching as many bases as possible, but it has become a tired old cliche.

Touching toes, the girl's skirt is raised, and the caning begins. First over navy-blue knickers, then on the naked buttocks. She is of medium build, with a good arse, not a classic. The strokes are hard, and bruises begin to appear. Then she is made to lie over a low padded stool for more with the cane. Nice close shots here of her bare bum with knickers around knees. On her feet again, she bends over for yet more, both facing towards the camera and away. There are good shots of her face in distress. Finally she is made to strip, showing nice tits and bush, and gets more with the cane.

The camera focusses closely on her bottom for the final round of strokes, showing clearly the ridges, welts and bruising inflicted by the bamboo. She must take in excess of 25 strokes. This is a long, lingering shot, maybe three, four or five minutes, but it is perfect. I'm all for innovative editing, but the viewer wants the camera to look unflinchingly at the caned bottom. This is the payoff. We want to look closely at our favourite part of the female anatomy, and at the marks of discipline that have been forged upon it. All too often the director, the cameraman or the editor forgets this, and we are left short shots with too many cuts. Girls should be allowed to pull up their panties immediately after a caning only if they are to take them down again later in their bedrooms, so we can have a nice, slow, long look at their caned bottoms as they lie face-down on their beds.

'Caned at knicker inspection' finishes on yet another great payoff shot. If the lingering close-up of the whipped bottom didn't do it for you, the final shot almost certainly will. Our heroine is made to stand in the corner. Instead of the standard 'hands on head' routine, she reaches back with her hands and spreads the cheeks of her bottom. The camera slowly zooms in. She is made to spread wider, until her anus and pussy are fully exposed for you. The camera holds this close gaze for a good three minutes before fading to black. Excellent!

This is good CP and I recommend it. My copy has no sound so I can't assess the dialogue or soundscape. Sometimes an annoying voice or dreadful dialogue can ruin a video, so maybe I'm better off with my silent masterpiece. My only real criticism is the location. It is obviously filmed in somebody's living room, which always takes away from the fiction being created.

I suspect this was made in the early 1990s, and that the girl in this production (also in High Flyers) is no longer in the business, which is a shame. The headmaster certainly is, and has possibly wielded the cane more than anybody else in the numerous CP videos I have seen. (He's in Class of 99, Class of 96, College Classics 10, Fourth form detention, Family caning, to name but a few.) He's been in a few dogs along the way, but in plenty of decent ones too.

Youth Hostel Capers

(Playback)
Spankings: F/F
Year of Production: 1999
Review by: TB

Three young women are on parole, staying in a youth hostel run by a strict governess. One is black and two are white. The governess explains the rules to the girls in the pool room. She warns against gambling. When the governess leaves the room they begin arranging bets on games of pool. Money is laid down. The governess catches them red-handed and decides to punish them rather than informing their parole officers.

Separately they are taken into another room for punishment. (In videos I find separating the girls to be a good idea. Alone with a girl, the dominant tends to stay in charge, stopping the scene from descending into an undisciplined comedy. Girls tend to be a little more contrite and submissive when alone with a dominant, without their friends to back them up.)

The mistress in this video is one of the best. She really is a bitch (in the good sense). She hits hard and she talks hard, and the girls subjected to her seem genuinely intimidated. (Check her out in 'Lady Vernon's caning heaven', parts 1 and 2.) First to be punished is a slim blonde, the ringleader, who has far too much to say for herself. She gets a hard otk spanking and is made to spread her thighs while getting it. She has slim buttocks which open easily to reveal all her charms. She almost forces it back at the camera, showing lots of gaping anus and pussy, although the camera doesn't chase it. She is then made to strip before getting a decent paddling while bending forward with hands on the sofa. She doesn't get caned (probably couldn't take it), but adds considerably to the video by exposing everything between her legs and cheeks. In my opinion she overacts, and becomes a bit annoying.

The next girl for the chop is a brunette, perhaps of mediterranean extract. She has a more substantial behind and takes a really good strapping and cropping. This is pretty hard, with marks to show. The camera work is not inspirational, but you get shots from behind and of the face. You glimpse her pussy, but not her anus. Her buttocks start to spasm slightly during the beating, an uncontrolled muscular spasm, generally a sign of a good thrashing. She takes it well, and is to be commended. I like her.

Then its the black girl's turn. She is tall and leggy, with one of those lovely round behinds. While over the mistess's knee for the spanking, her dress is raised to reveal she isn't wearing panties. Nice touch. She is spanked hard and her reactions and noises are great. Some pussy and anus shots as her cheeks are spread on impact. After the spanking she is stripped. She is then paddled while standing in front of the fire place with palms on the wall. Finally she is caned while lying over a low table. This is my favourite scene. Not quite sure how to present herself, she gets into some beautifully submissive poses. She is caned hard, and marks in a subtle and beautiful way. There are facial shots as well as back and side views. She is very close to tears at the end, and is obviously relieved when its all over. I really like this girl; she wants to please.

What this film lacks is atmosphere. Uniforms always help to develop atmosphere, and all the women in this video, including the mistress, are wearing street clothes. Good locations help too, specially ones associated with authority - classrooms, studies, medical examination rooms, prisons... etc. This is set in a big house or a hotel. Maybe some set-up shots would help too, close-ups of the girls looking nervous, shots of the cane lying mennacingly on the table. There is a slight sense of going-through-the-motions in this video. But it's worth seeing. The caning action is hard, the mistress is great, and the black girl is lovely.

Class of '99

(Playback)
Spankings: F/FF and M/F
Year of Production: 1999
Review by: TB

Two uniformed schoolgirls are sent to Mistress for bad behaviour. She takes them to her study to be punished. The second girl waits outside while the first is disciplined. The first is a lovely young blonde, passive and obedient, who receives the usual spanking, strapping and caning. It is moderately severe and no doubt hurt. As is so often the case, the camera lets us down. It is lazy and boring. It just doesn't deliver the best shots or angles. Most of the views are mid-shots, which try to get everything into every shot. Why can't they get professionals in to shoot this stuff? Or people with an understanding of filmmaking and a feel for CP content?

We cut to the second girl, who is outside the toilets in the school corridor. Being a mischievous scamp, she decides to use the boys' toilets. This is a nice touch, definitely the most innovative scene in the video. She pulls down her knickers and tries to pee into a urinal. Alas, the scene lasts only a few seconds. Then she locks herself into one of the cubicles. The headmaster finds her and takes her down to the study. Here he punishes her, ending with a reasonable caning. She is also blonde, but overacts the naughty schoolgirl part, and is therefore less interesting than the first girl - in my opinion. Overacting is a serious fault in a schoolgirl CP film.

'Class of 99' recalls 'Class of 96' and 'Class or '97', but is probably the weakest of the three. (I haven't seen a Class of 98.) The same male dominant is in them all, and he along with the female dominant here, feature a lot in UK caning films. He is very good with a cane, accurate and experienced, and probably has a knack of taking girls as far as they can go. He is comfortable with girls, ad libs a good deal on set, often reminding girls of how he was beaten at boarding school. I have seen lots of his work. He has a lecherous quality and should specialise in lecherous CP with an exploitational quality. In that area he has no equal in the UK. I've seen this man cane Kenyan immigrants and refugees from the Balkans. He's wonderful. Charismatic, charming and sly. He should be the John Staglione of English CP. His weakest point is as an Establishment disciplinarian of the old school - his personality is too left-field to generate an atmosphere of tight-arsed intimidation. His other weakness is lazy positioning of girls for punishment. He has a tendency to let girls lean over any piece of furniture that's close to hand. I wish he and other filmmakers would plan ahead more, and work out these crucial details before shooting. It makes such a difference to the finished product. A variety of positions is preferable, as each new view adds fresh interest and excitement. Giving a girl 40 strokes with the strap and 18 with the cane, all while she half inclines with her hands on a sofa, does not make interesting viewing, no matter how hard the strokes or good the reactions.

The female dominant in Class of 99 is also experienced, and appears in loads of CP films in the UK. She is 30ish and has a large round jutt-back bottom, which I would love to see bared as she leaned right over a tall stool wearing nothing but a simple nightie - but enough of my fantasies. She always wears a tight black skirt. She has a good voice, and is verbally severe with the girls. She is perhaps guilty of slightly hurrying things. I've seen her cane hard and pay close attention to humiliating positions, but it doesn't quite come off here. She has a lot of potential and will only get better.

On the whole Class of 99 is pretty good UK schoolgirl CP - worth seeing.

Videos Featuring the Switch and The Birch

(Various Producers)
Spankings: X/F
Review by: IL

Sorry that I don't write many reviews on one video but on topics, which I find more interesting. I would like to comment on some underappreciated implements in CP, the switch and the birch.

There are only two good videos I saw that used the switch, one was called "spanked and switched" and I believe it was made by Real Spanking Video Productions. The model has a very ample bottom, which is thoroughly treated by two switches. Though the model does not scream and yell, the switch is applied hard and she got at least 100 strokes. What I love about the switch is the high-pitched sound of the swish, higher than a cane, which is very distinctive and tells you "Ouch, that's gotta hurt". Another good video is NuWest production "Discpline Russian Style", where a variety of implements are used, but includes three sessions where the switch is used with devestating impact on three female behinds, with nice marks and welts and good reaction as a result. The sessions are short but quite severe and very truthfull, not acting needed. I possibly have talked about these two videos before.

On birching, some new videos have come out which are notable. Previously I recommended highly NuWest " Birching of a young lady" as a really good video, and also from CalStar " Birching for remembrance". These two are still classic birching videos worth watching. NuWest "Birching of Bernadette O'Neil" was harsh, with 100 strokes given, but less erotic and hard to tell if a male was subbed for part of the punishment. (What would be convincing is if the model showed her marks during her after punishment interview, which she didn't). So that one is a crap-shoot.

New birching was included in the video "Dawn Deacon's Millenium 2000 Challenge" distributed by Paddles Magazine online. Here the model has a curve and ample bottom that is subjected to severe punishment by many implements including at least 200 strokes of the cane, and 100 strokes of the birch. This is a superb caning video as well as an outstanding birching video. Two birches, one long and one short were used, with a lot of power on Dawn's bottom. It is definitely a turn on. A note is there are many types of birches, the ones used here and on the CalStar video above was much bushier with lots of small branches, with more spread but less harsh on the buttocks. For the NuWest videos birches with only 3-5 branches but thicker were used, and these are more severe in terms of marking and impact. Another video from Cal Star "Maximum Impact" featured one of my favorite female doms Miss Brown and two girls, which were birched and then caned. The action was great, Miss Brown being both severe in the birching and caning, with many sexy positions used. This is also a good caning video, but the birching was interesting because the birch used was some type of bamboo or straight wooden birch, unlike the usual types featured. It was stiffer and had a very different sound to it. Finally, one birching worth mentioning from Rigid East videos "Semi-transparent Mirror", where a daughter is whipped with electrical cord (WOW!) and then birched with a improvised birch made of some type of branches stripped from the garden. It is definitely not a traditional birch, but the model definitely felt the 25 strokes she received on her bottom and also backs of the legs. As with all Rigid East videos the action is not well choreographed but still quite authentic, and the looplike welts left by the electrical cord are quite amazing to behold. One of the models was briefly birched in another Rigid East production "Reform school 2", but the caning was the main attraction in that video.

Finally, a word of caution. I got a Hans Scheik video from Sweden hoping to see some good birching action, which he promoted heavily. I spent $99 on a 2 hour video which was very weak in the action and a terrible dissapointment, Hans looked like a valet at a Russian Sauna, how feable his strokes were. Definitely not worth the amount of money spent. There was a short part in the video with some decent strokes of a switch on a model's bum, about 10 strokes, that's all. I don't think his videos in general are going to be interesting to more hard-core CP fans, it is just too light it got boring.


Resentful Shopper

Spankings: M/F
Review by: JG

This also is a very good spanking video. The girl in the video is a larger woman, but still very pretty. (not large meaning fat, but bigger boned). The story with this one is the woman comes home from shopping and is confronted by her husband. She has been spending alot of his money and the guy is fed up. He knows he would take it easy on his wife, so he hires this other fellow to do the punishing. She has to change (we don't see her change) into a blue t-shirt and sort of like light orange panties. This punishment dude pulls her over his lap and gives her a sound spanking on her panties. She pulls her panties up after each portion of punishment, so you know that they come down before and go up after. Anyway, she then gets a bare bottom spanking, which is also pretty sound. She then is made to bend over and is given some licks with a belt. Her final punishment is in the same fashion as the strapping, except he uses a sort of odd looking paddle. The action in the film is excellent and I think this guy does a great job, considering he doesn't have the studios and equipment of some of the other companies. Video and sound quality are like the others.


Maggie Gets Spanked

Spankings: M/F
Review by: JG

This is a very good spanking video. Like others from this company, the author interviews the spankee at the beginning of the tape. This is not a role playing tape, she talks about herself and any past experiences of being spanked (in school, by parents, ect...). The girl is a blonde, who is pretty good looking. Then he has her remove her jeans and she lays over his lap. He pulls down her gray panties and spanks her on the bare butt. Pretty hard spanks, I might add. He stopps periodically and moved the camera, then contiues. This is nice, as he is not having multiple cameras running, and then tries to make you think it's along spanking, when in reality you're just watching multiple views. He changes the view about 2 or 3 times. He then has her bent over the couch and spanks her with a wooden spoon. Again, he spanks for a few minutes then changes the view. Some nice private shots as well. Finally, he has her over the couch again and uses a correctional paddle. This is an awesome tape with alot of authentic action on a real amateur. Again, video and sound quality are average, but good for what he's working with


Paddled in School

(AmateurSpankings.com)
Spankings: M/F
Review by: JG

This tape is set in a school counselor environment, where the student has committed some type of offense and is given a choice of a 3 day suspension or 3 swats with the paddle. There are 6 girls all together and they obviously all choose the paddle. This is where some may not care for this vid. There isn't alot of action in the tape. The author's going after a realistic and sort of historical point where, in reality, girls who got the paddle only got a few swats or the clothes. So each girl is given 3 swats with the paddle over their clothes, then when the guy leaves the room, they bare the butts and rub them. If you're looking for a different perspective of school paddlings, it's worth the money. But if you're in for action only, then you might want to think about this one. The girls are pretty good looking. One girl does have a skirt and gets the paddling on the underwear. Sound and video quality are pretty good, especially for an amateur production.


The Great American Spanking Roadshow Part 1 & 2

(Raven Hill Studios)
Spankings: M/F and F/F
Review by: JG

Given my displeasure with Raven Hill's resent videos, when I received a mailer about this video I was hoping to see a turnaround. The mailer gave the impression there were a ton of girls spanked in this video, but before I ordered I wanted to know more specifics. I emailed Raven Hill and they never responded. I decided to order the 2 videos, since it was a limited special if you ordered both. The basis of this 2 video set is that the director and 2 other guys are in an RV and they travel to different towns asking women to be spanked for money. In part 1, the video opens with them showing you the RV and talking, and showing you the street signs, and more talking. Basically it takes about 20 minutes before you see any action. They meet the first girl in a bar and she is the waitress. They take her back to the hotel room, more discussions and finally she lowers her panties and goes over the directors lap for a bare bottom spanking. The girl is a brunette with glasses and is pretty decent looking. After the spanking she has to choose from a bunch of concealed circles on a clear board. The camera shows the side with the spanking instruments on it so you can see what she is going to choose and her reaction. One of the choices lets the spankee off. This girl get the cane next. She takes 25 strokes and at one point actually brakes out into tears. Excellent action. After the caning she has to pick one more punishment instrument. This time it's the paddle. Again, very good action. Once they say good bye to her, they hit the road again, and it's another 15 minutes of driving, talking and sightseeing. They meet up with 2 girls in a car who agree to their offer. The first girl is a blonde and is not bad looking. She is only wearing jean shorts with no underwear. She has a bunch of tattoos, which I'm not to fond of. The 2 girls alternate, so after she gets a bare bottom spanking, it's the other girls turn. This one has black hair, some facial jewlery and a dog colar on. Looks like she's a heavy metal rocker. She lowers her jeans and black thong panties and gets a bare bottom spanking. Back to the blonde, who like before has to choose from these concealed circles as to her next punishment. She pics the paddle. Once again, good action and she's paddled well. Then back to the other girl who chooses the ruler. Then back to the blonde who now pics the strap. Then finally back to the other girl who gets the hair brush. This ends part 1. This is a very long tape, almost 2 hours. There is alot of conversation, travel, and non-punishment stuff inbetween the sessions, but these women are not actresses, so the amateur value is worth it.

Part 2- The begining of part 2 recapps what we saw on part 1. About 15 minutes in is when the action starts. They convice a blonde at a campground to be punished. This girl is pretty nice looking and has a great ass. She is wearing jean shorts with not underwear. She is spanked on the bare butt first, as all the others. Nice action. She then has to leave for a few minutes and there is a 5 minute lag before she returns. When she does, she chooses the hair brush as her first intrument of punishment. Then for the last instument she chooses the cane. The strokes are real and very good action with both the hair brush and the cane. Then after they say good bye to her, it's on the road again. They meet this woman in a laudromat who talks of her 18 year old daughter who's behavior has been untolerable. After some dialog and this woman getting more and more ticked at her daughter, it's off to this woman's house. More dialog with this woman and her daughter and before you know it, this blonde 18 year old with short hair is over Mom's knee. She is spanked on the jean shorts first, then on the bare butt. (no underwear under the shorts, surprise surprise. Must be a thing out that way.) Then she is made to me punished with a wooden spoon. The sessions are long and authentic. Excellent action. Alot of scolding from Mom to her daughter. Then the blonde is made to go outside and get a switch off the tree. She is then switched over her jeans and then bare butt. The blonde is brought to tears with her punishment with promises of never to behave that way again. And that ends the tape. All in all, it's worth the money. The action is good and the fact that these are not actors and people off the street is worth it. Only thing is that there are long periods of travelling that they taped with alot of lame discussion.


Various Birching Videos

(Several Producers)
Spankings: X/F
Review by: IL

I have always been partial to the birch. I guess it's that nice swishing sound it makes when used and the distinct welt patterns it creates. However there is a dearth of good birching videos compared to let's say caning. Maybe because it is a hard technique to get right or something. Anyhow, I saw some resurgence of birching videos along with old ones I'd like to share. My favorite birching video is still the classic "birching of a young lady" by NuWest, about 10 years ago. It is very short, with 36 strokes applied, but the camera angles are great, you can see the welts, and the action is hard. It is a great video. In terms of severity, "the birching of Bernadette O'Neil" by NuWest is the hardest, the problem is again the girl had on a wig, and sort of a guy-like (flat) behind, so it was not very satisfying from an erotic point of view and I still have the nagging feeling maybe a guy was substituted. NuWest really has inconsistency on camera angles and do not like to show close-ups. Perhaps it is their style, but then it is hard to verify the recipient is female, which I care greatly about. I believe I have previewed this video before.

Birching was featured in two rigid east videos. One girl got some strokes in "Reform School Two", which is a great overall very severe caning video, a definite recommend. Also, in "Semi-transparent Mirror" a girl got 25 strokes with a homemade birch ( not of traditional birch wood I think) on her behind and back of her legs. Unfortunately there was not very clear shot of the welts, probably because the film quality was lacking (after all they did mention is was a hidden camera). In this video it is obvious the girl is not a professional submissive or involved in the scene because there was a lot of struggling etc. very amateurish, but the action is good. The interesting thing about this short video is the girl gets whipped with a loop of electrical cord (first time I saw this on video), and though that scene was quite chaotic the loop-like welts were quite aesthetically pleasing.

Some birching is also featured in Cal-Star videos. There is a good amount in "Birching for Remembrance", though I did not see the whole video. Two birches were used with fairly hard action, it was pretty good. In a newer video "Maximum Impact" the famous "Miss Brown" used an unusual birch that was made of strips of bamboo or wood (straight, not crooked branches) on a couple of female bottoms. The action was not very severe but quite crisp, with multiple erotic positions taken and about 24-30 strokes given to each girl. Unfortunately not many welts were seen. On the other hand there weren't many marks even after each girl received a severe caning, suggesting the girls bottoms were used to such treatment. This video has a good caning a birching sequence, it is worth watching.

Finally there is the Paddles Video "Millenium Challenge 2000 ????" where Dawn Deacons gets about 100 strokes of a small birch and 50 strokes of the long birch, and took the quite severe strokes like a real trooper. Unfortunately this being close to the end of 2000 strokes of various implements her behinds was already red and swollen and no welts were easily seen. She also got at least 200 strokes of the cane and those weren't visible either,Wow what a packed video. One more word of caution, if you are a real birching fan do NOT buy any videos from this Swedish guy Hans Scheike or something, his birching action is so weak that it looks like what you would do after getting out of the sauna, hardly even an increase of circulation. It was a real letdown and I don't think his other videos are much better. Regarding the switch, I think I already previewed before a video from Realspankings productions are something, I forgot the title it was perphaps " spanked and switched". A woman with an ample behind is paddled and whipped with both a short and long switch. She takes a lot of strokes with the switch, at least 100, and they are hard ones ( you can hear the whistle and impact). However her big bum seems to absorb the impact well, and the insulation seems to keep her reaction low. Compare with the beginning of the video when she is spanked with paddles, she feels those more, I guess surface area of implement makes a difference. Anyhow that is an old video, a new video from NuWest called "Discipline Russian Style" was made by some spanking enthusiast in Russia. It has quite a lot of scenes of women being tied lying prone on a bench (this guys favorite position) and being beaten, mostly by some type of crop-like whip or cane. You can tell the majority of the women are first time amateurs doing it for the money, and their reaction to the beatings vary in intensity, as with the severity itself. The quality is uneven but there are some good scenes and lots of shots of the welts.


Wild Party

(Rigid East)
Spankings: M/F
Review by: NP

The new Rigid east video "Wild Party" is the most severe video I have ever seen, acing out "Student Caught" "Canings and Cold Showers", and even Rigid East's own remarkable "Reform School 2 (Maiden's Reformatory)". Rather than upload photographs, I will give the reader a link http://www.schertel.cz/gallery/rge-010/default.htm . Five girls are punished, and I do mean punished. There are no sexual overtones, no fondling, no overt ogling; simply a series of harsh, unrelenting canings. If harsh caning is your thing, and you want to see it taken to it's limit, this is the tape. The premise of the movie is that a group of young girls gather at a friend's house to drink smoke, play dress up, and carouse. There is a slight lesbian color to the goings on, but nothing very explicit; almost innocent by today's standards. The father comes home and catches them in mid debauch, and takes it upon himself to discipline the lot of them. If there is more to the plot than this, it is lost to those of us who do not speak Czech.

The girls head for the bathroom to change into their street clothes, and present themselves to the father, before perching on the sofa. The first girl is made to drop her skirt and panties (what little there is of them), and assume a classic bent over position, with hands and elbows on a low table. She is slim, and reasonably good looking, with a lovely little white bottom, and a rather girlish figure. The 25 cuts are stunningly hard, leaving great purple swellings, and are delivered in pretty quick succession. The contrast between the remarkably smooth and pale bottom presented to the cane, and the swollen tangle of ridged weals it soon becomes, is remarkable. The girl comports herself admirably well, considering the harsh treatment meted out. She generally stays in position, and begins to cry softly, but doesn't really give voice until the last five cuts or so. I doubt that I, as a full grown man, could have borne up as well. After her ordeal, she is made to kneel on the sofa with her face to the wall.

The second girl is a bit more fully developed, but is still rather slim, with light smooth skin (are they all like that in Prague? maybe I should move there). I recognize her from the movie "Rigid Father", and know that her bottom is no stranger to harsh treatment. She is a bit less amenable to the cane than the first girl, and also somewhat more verbal. She takes the first few strokes well, but soon begins to duck down, and interrupt the proceedings. After putting up with a bit more ducking and flinching, along with some pleas for the caning to stop, the father, tired of dealing with this foolishness, has her lay across the table so that she can not so easily avoid the blows. She has a very pretty, rather sweet, face, and I would almost spare her this pain; almost. Soon, she too, is kneeling on the sofa with her well marked bottom a preview to the others of their coming ordeal.

The third girl has a more mature build, not as girlish as the others, and is less pale skinned. She excuses herself to go to the bathroom, and while there coats her bottom with a generous portion (too generous) of some creme, meant as a protection. Like the previous girl, this one is no stranger to the cane, and some faint lines and markings are visible on the dusky skin of her bottom, from a previous engagement. The father is not fooled, and orders her back to the bathroom to remove it. Upon her return, she is made to lay across the table with a pillow beneath her hips. As a punishment for her deception, she is given 40-50 cuts. Though many of the cuts are moderate, none are light, and her bottom is soon well marked. She is comforted during the beating, by the next girl in line; a pretty red head with her hair cut short. As she is caned, she makes quite a fuss, and is so shrill that I found it a bit unnerving. To her credit, despite her protests, she stays across the table until it is time for her to join the two others kneeling on the sofa.

The Pretty redhead takes her turn, and seems quite disgusted, and contemptuous of the whole thing. She is the only one of the penitents wearing pants, and she undoes, and drops them with a certain confident style, as she faces up to her adversary. She has a nice shape, and takes a proud, almost defiant stance, with her legs straight and slightly spread. She holds out for a number of strokes, but then stands, and seems to catch her breath for a bit. She rises several times, but always goes back down. She has extremely fine, light skin, and marks up very noticeably (as do they all). The double lined welts seem on the verge of opening, and are more of a fruity red, than the purple of the other girls. This woman is extremely attractive, being more womanly than the girls who preceded her. She too rises, and joins the display kneeling on the sofa.

The last girl is supposed to be the daughter, and is the same girl from "Hidden Camera". She is reasonably good looking, with the slimness that seems to be a trade mark of the Rigid East girls. She is dressed in a pair of pajamas, and is made to drop the bottoms before bending over and placing her hands on the table. She receives five fairly vigorous swats with a wooden paddle before the caning begins. The caning has the typical Riged East level of severity. The last girl is vocal, but keeps her feet planted, though she does pull her bottom in as the paddle and cane descend. When she joins the others kneeling on the sofa, the picture is complete. None of the girls gets less than 25 cuts, and it seems as if there are some extras given to some. These are not love taps, and there is no pulling of the cuts, as there is in virtually every other caning video I have ever seen. If you are tired of watching girls recieve dozens, and even hundreds of strokes, which barely turn their bottoms pink, this movie will be a refreshing change. This is the real thing.


Multiple Videos

(Various Production Companies)
Spankings: F/F and M/F
Review by: IL

Hello. It's been some time since I did a review, and during that time I've seen quite a few videos, so this will be a long review and you can even split it up in parts if you want.

First, a word of some recent Cal Star videos. When I first saw Cal Star videos they had lousy models, very weak action and the spankers were usually old farts that didn't know what to do. A short golden age occurred with the beginning of the English Discipline series and especially videos with Sophie Fennigan. Then the videos again became quite inconsistent and some were really laughable. Recently though there is a great insurgence in their video quality. Not only do they sport attractive models with great posteriers, and severe action, but in general better filmography and script. Some of the models seem to be regulars and into the CP scene heavily as they can take 10 times the doses the earlier models took. Check out especially the model in Red Route Area, Party of Pain and Harlots Humiliation, and also another model in For Reparations and Party of Pain, they are FANTASTIC, HOT!

Another interesting trend is most of the good videos I watched involved female spankers, and in general the males are not very good, except one regular who canes well. It seems that women are more cooly efficient and unaffected by the sexual arousal part of CP and carry on with great vigor and gusto. They do a terrific job and there are no screaming or struggling etc when two women are involved, it is quite comfortable to watch. Indeed most all the spanking videos I am recommending are done F/F, and the action is terrific, though one of the dominants is bordering on cruel. I recommend the following in order of severness, my best picks coming first:

1. Hard caning and paddling, strapping

Caning in Wet Panties 2
Stable Girls
Colleagues Caning
Thou Shall not Forgive

2. Good caning and hard paddling

For Reparations
Red Route Area
Harlot's Humiliation
Maximum Impact
Penalty Strokes

3. Severe Action (good weals, not for the squeamish)

Meter Beatings
Irreparable Damage

Check them all out, you will not be dissapointed, especially with the new models.

Another bunch of videos I recommend are distributed by Kurt Stevens Productions in CA, but I only know of one store that carries them, Kinematics in NYC. They do not seem to have a website. The videos are usually by Spanking for Pleasure SFP or Red Stripe and are English discpline type. Although they are not all as severe as the current Cal Star videos, they have excellent models and scripts and filmography, and some have really good action. Most of the models will be familiar to people who regularly watch CP videos, and can take a lot. But I single out the model in Discipline in the Office Part I and in Temperature Rising Higher, she is very cute and has one of the most scrumptous, delectable bottoms to ever be on the receiving end. The videos I recommend in order of severness:

Discipline at the Office Parts I and II
Temperature Rising Higher
It's not my Fault
You Two Again
Pay Day
Behind Closed Doors (good hairbrush action)

All these videos have high quality CP and very good chemistry between the recipients, they are worth taking some extra effort to look into.

Finally, a new find from the Australian online CP magazine "Paddles". They are now distributing CP videos made in Australia, and a new one that just came out "The Millenium 2000 Spanking Challenge" is quite interesting. The premise is that for the year 2000 someone should take the challenge of having 2000 strokes in one day. The challenger is Dawn Deacons, and the video is 2.5 hours long. It also costs twice the amount of a regular video, so I was worried about being dissapointed. Indeed, the initial spanking by hand was lukewarm, and I thought, wow, I'me doomed. However, it was just a warmup and the guy wasn't a hard hand spanker in general. He knows his implements well though. A variety were used on Dawn's bottom in 50 STROKE INTERVALS! Inluded were two types of tawses, one leather paddle, martinet, flogger, horse whip, junior cane, senior cane, small birch and large birch. The caning a birching were superb, especially the final quarter of punishment, when the 100 strokes of the senior cane were administered in two batches of 50 and the final strokes very hard using a large birch. The action would make a lot of seaons CP fans cringe a bit, but very exciting!! I must note that Dawn is heavier than most CP models, but though her bottom is bigger it is very curvaceous when bent over and can take a lot of punishment. Though there were breaks in the action, from the progression of marks I believe the whole session was shot in one day. Also, another "helper" in the punshment got caned, paddled and birched by Dawn for some mistakes, and Dawn can dish it out harder than she gets it. The helper is not all the attractive, but I don't object to more action. This is a must-see video for real no-frills hardcore CP fans, just tons and tons of action!


You Too Again

(Red Stripe)
Spankings: F/F
Review by: David

Whilst browsing through your site, I came across your interest in a video called You Two Again. I am surprised that not more of your browsers have come across this video, and the other videos made by this British producer. I have been buying their productions for a few years now, and I must say that in my opinion, the videos made by Red Stripe are the best and most authentic I have ever seen. To begin with, the location for this particular video is great. It is set in a very genuine school study, with dark wood paneling, and bookshelves filled with what looks like collections of academic books. There is a large head teachers desk, and various blackboards etc. The lady who plays Miss Brown the teacher, is without doubt, and in my opinion the best dominant I have ever seen. She never raises her voice, and has a quiet air of menace, which would create butterflies in the stomach of the naughtiest schoolboy or girl. The video is set in St Stripe's girls school, and it opens with Miss Brown seated at her desk. There is a knock on the door, which she ignores. After a few seconds there is another knock, Miss Brown opens the door to reveal two pretty girls dressed in full school uniform. She tells them to wait until she is ready for them. They protest, because they are worried that some of the other girls might see them waiting, and realize, that they are waiting there to be punished. One of the girls is the head girl, and the other is a prefect. They have been caught cheating in an exam, and they know that they are in for some serious punishment. What they don't know however is, that they have also been observed bullying some of the younger girls. Once Miss Brown has established their guilt, their punishment begins.

The first girl, a very pretty blond who is wearing long white socks, and white knickers (panties) is placed over Miss Browns knees, and given a thorough hand spanking, on her bare bottom. Her pale skin quickly turns bright red, and soon she is sobbing. When Miss Brown is satisfied that the girl has received a good spanking, she turns her attention to the second girl who is wearing stockings, which is against the school rules. She too is put over Miss Browns knees, her navy knicker are pulled down, and she too is quickly reduced to tears, but both girls know that this is just the beginning of their punishment. In turn, both girls are given a further spanking whilst standing up, with their hands on their heads. Miss Brown then instructs the first girl to bend over a high stool, where she is given forty strokes with a leather strap. This reduces her to more tears. Once the strapping is complete, the sobbing girl is then bent over the desk where she receives twenty five hard strokes of the cane, which she has to count. We can also see the other girl who is waiting for her punishment, becoming more and more worried, as she hears her friends sobs. When at last the first girl is allowed up, she is sent to stand in the corner, with her skirt held up, and her knickers around her knees. The second girl is then placed over the high stool for her strapping, which if anything, is harder than the first girl received. She too is bent over the teachers desk, where she is given twenty five hard strokes of the cane. Even though she is the head girl, she finds it impossible to take her punishment stoically, and is soon sobbing like a ten year old. Once her caning is completed, Miss Brown tells the girls she is taking away their privileges, and sends them on their way.

If you like authentic British style videos, particularly with a school theme, then you must try to contact these people. They are based in London, and their postal address is P.O. Box 173 Ruislip, Middx. HA4 6BH. The name of the guy who runs Red Stripe is Ivor, and his email address is redivor@aol.com.

Note from Boatdrinks: I checked into getting Red Stripe videos and they are currently only available by mail in the PAL format, which doesn't work in the U.S. or Canada. A store in New York City called Kinematics carries them in the NTSC format and Ivor emailed me saying he is currently trying to get a U.S. mail order distributor. I'll pass along the information when I find out who the U.S. distributor will be.


Aunty's Old Fashioned Medicine

(Scarlett Hill)
Spankings: M/F
Review by: TD

This video by Scarlett Hill is probably the best F/F production I have ever seen, and I've seen most of them. Two long, hard spanking scenes , one with a hairbrush, by a very realistic Aunty type, to a very cute bubble butt blonde. Hopefully, they will do a part 2. Picture quality average, but at $25.00, a real bargain.


SlaveSex 36

(DVIDS.com)
Spankings: M/F
Review by: Klingsor

I saw the german production "slavesex36" from dvids. A very cute blonde woman gets the paddling of her life. I tried to count the strokes, I stopped at 300. The man who beats her takes very much force into each stroke. First she is not chained, Later he shackels her with ropes, bend over a table. When he gives her a rest he fetches a cane or a crop to beat the bruised bottom with those instruments. There appears some blood, the woman is crying. But the man doesn´t stop, until she is compleetly out of breath.

A must see for fans of severe beatings!


You're In The Army NOW, Young Lady!

(Scarlett Hill Enterprises)
Spankings: M/F
Review by David H.

In their latest video-production, Scarlett Hill Enterprises presents a tale of military discipline.

The subject of corporal punishment within the armed forces have previously been unsuccessfully approached by other producers - but this video soon makes you forget all those earlier, disappointing attempts in the field!

"You're In The Army Now, Young Lady!" is a fabulous production that will appeal to all true enthusiasts of disobedient young girls, well-shaped bare bottoms and old-fashioned over-the-knee spanking!

The video features 3 separate over-the-knee spanking-scenarios and a paddling-scenario, in which the spankee is kneeling on a chair.

The plot of the video is established through a lengthy and very stimulating scene, in which the two characters are introduced. We learn that young Sally Rogers - brilliantly played by cute, blonde Elizabeth - has chosen military service as an alternative to prison-time for a huge number of juvenile offences. Consequently, the pretty girl is now under the authority of stern-looking Lt. Colonel Stryker - equally brilliantly portrayed by Patrick Henry.

The video opens with a conversation, set in the Lt. Colonel's office, during which Sally Rogers is dressed in a short, tightfitting black dress. Though she remains seated most of the time, you get a pretty good idea of the perfect shape of her bottom, even at this early stage, which is guaranteed to heighten your expectations! Stryker is going through the young girl's file and soon makes frequent references to what is inevitably going to follow, using the familiar phrases "over my knee", "bare bottom" and "spanking"!

An angry outburst from the Lt. Colonel, litterally, makes Sally jump from her chair, but doesn't make her change the bratty look on her face. However, Stryker does not go on to spank her yet, but orders the girl to peel potatoes as punishment, instead.

The following scene depicts Sally's pathetic skills in potato-peeling and by now she has changed into her military outfit - rough uniform-trousers, boots and a tightfitting green t-shirt. Soon, Stryker orders the girl to return to his office...

With her blonde hair in a pony-tail, Sally enters the Lt. Colonel's office to be reprimanded, once again. But this time, a reprimand will not do the trick! As Sally realizes what is about to happen, she attempts to escape...But Stryker captures her, sits down on a simple chair and places the girl firmly over his knee! He quickly gains control over her and delivers a number of very hard smacks to her bottom with his right hand! Surprisingly - given their rough fabric - Sally's uniform-trousers enhance the shape of her bottom beautifully, during this initial spanking-scenario! Her behind bounces up and down in the most stimulating way, as she kicks her legs and lets out cries of protest! After a few minutes, Sally is ordered to stand up and pull down her trousers - she does so reluctantly, revealing a tiny pair of black pants, and soon after finds herself back over the Lt. Colonel's knee. Stryker continues to discipline the naughty young girl in the old-fashioned way, placing smack after smack on her beautiful, slightly protected bottom! However, he soon finds it necessary to remove Sally's pants as well...Keeping her over his knee, he pulls them down, adjusts the girl's position and moves on to spank her bare bottom! Sally kicks, yells and sobs as she wriggles her lovely, unprotected behind from side to side! The sounds of the smacks are excellent and the camera-man does a superb job, capturing the action from a variety of angles. Particularly breathtaking are the shots of Sally's face, with the shape of her behind clearly visible in the background! A special treat in this video is the way in which the contrast between the rough fabric of the girl's uniform-trousers and her round, soft bare bottom is highlighted!

After a lengthy bare-bottom spanking, Sally is made to face the wall, displaying her sore behind to the viewer and occassionally rubbing it eagerly!

2 weeks later, Sally is in trouble again, having been smoking on duty...She is marched to the Lt. Colonel's office to receive punishment once again - and this time, Stryker wasts no time spanking her on her trousers!

Immediately, the young brat is ordered to pull down her trousers and get over Stryker's knee. Stryker sits down on his chair and places Sally in the position so familiar to naughty girls all over the world! The camera initially captures the scene from the front, allowing you a view to the sulky looks on the girl's face and to the shape of her behind. Sally is now wearing a pair of white cotton-pants, but these are immediately pulled down - this is going to be a no-nonsense, bare-bottom spanking! To watch Sally's round, well-shaped bottom being exposed, whilst at the same time being able to observe the reaction on her face, really made my day! Seconds later, Stryker begins spanking the girl methodically with his right hand! The sounds of the smacks and Sally's sobs and protests will take your breath away, I promise! The camera-angles shift throughout the scene and makes it a true work of art, in the field of spanking! Furthermore, it should be mentioned that the fact that Sally's pants are left just below her buttocks - to me - adds to the quality of this excellent video...It kind of emphasizes the exposure of her beautiful bottom and - in a peculiar way - supports the impression of her as being a naughty little girl, being properly disciplined!

Following this most stimulating spanking-scenario, Sally is again ordered to face the wall - and once again, she rubs her sore, reddened backside!

The third and last over-the-knee spanking in this video takes place on a couch in Lt. Colonel Stryker's office.

Having placed Sally over his lap, Stryker bares her upturned little bottom and spanks it mercilessly for about 10 minutes with his open hand! As you can imagine, the girl's behind is very red and sore by now and the multiple smacks soon brings her to tears, as the camera captures the disciplinary procedure from 3 different angles; one from the side, one from behind and one from an elevated spot on her side! Needless to say, this enables you to fully enjoy the stimulating wriggling and bouncing of the girl's butt, as well as the skillfully applied smacks...And as a bonus, the camera occassionally makes a close-up on Sally's distressed face!

To conclude Sally's punishment, Stryker makes her kneel on a chair and stick out her bottom...He then presents a small wooden paddle and applies it to his target 15 or 20 times!

"You're In The Army NOW, Young Lady!" is among the very, very best spanking-videos, I have had the pleasure of watching - and I recommend it to all true enthusiasts of the genre!


A Spanking Fantasy

(Shadow Lane)
Spankings: M/F
Review by Jack

I just finished viewing "A Spanking Fantasy," the first movie produced by Shadow Lane Productions in 1988. The stars were Tony Elka, playing the Student Advisor and Eve Howard who played the student. I believe the movie was produced using a Nu-West set and equipment. There were no credits other than Tony & Eve.

The story has four scenes with a short vignette between scenes one & three. In scene one Tony meets Eve in a counselor type setting. Eve is a new student and Tony her counselor and advisor. This first part is dialog, setting the stage. Eve developing an "attitude" and Tony making it clear he won't tolerate. No spanking occurs and if you're not patient enough to stay with the plot development, you can fast forward to scene two where the spanking really begins. However you'll miss the short vignette in the hall where Tony gives Eve three very hard smacks over her leather skirt. He really makes contact and Eve's reaction is genuine.

In scene two, Eve has failed the semester and has a choice of having her father called in or receive a bare-bottom spanking from Tony. Obviously, she accepts the latter and now we're in for a real treat!

Eve is placed over Tony's knee and he works up to the actual spanking by delivering over 200 spanks to her over skirt, slip, and panties. Only by the time he gets to the panties, for all of Eve's squirming around she now has a wedgie and there's no panty protection at all. After the panties come down, Tony delivers over 80 solid, hard smacks to Eve's bare-bottom which by now is quite discolored although you can't tell very well because of lighting. The smacks are good and hard. Tony delivers full force with the flat of his hand right on the center cheeks of Eve's bottom. She really kicks, screams and cries.

The acoustics are good and bad. Good because the hollowness of the room intensifies the sound of both smack and scream. Bad because it also echoes. You can tell the movie (two camera angles) is shot with amateur video.

Eve expresses a lot of emotion throughout and after the first spanking you can tell she had been reduced to tears by the amount of sniffling she was doing. Also, the spanking was severe because the bottom rubbing Eve did afterwards made it obvious she was in real discomfort. However, THERE WERE NO FACE SHOTS! Probably because of the limited camera angles and T&E didn't have enough experience yet to know how important that is.

Scene three. Eve visits Tony in his apartment which is really a set of two walls, a bed, and a bookcase. Probably 8x10; enough stage to get a good camera view and tape the action. By now Eve is turned on by this new "relationship" and brings a gift for Tony. It's a pair of leather driving gloves. After more dialogue setting the scene, you guessed it - Eve gets spanked by Tony while he's wearing the gloves. Another good intense spanking develops. As before Tony starts out over her skirt and works his way to the bare. I'd estimate that Eve got another 250 - 300 spanks on her bottom and at some point was quite uncomfortable. I think she herself underestimated the intensity of being spanked with a leather glove. Tony is a stern disciplinarian who firmly believes in corporal punishment for the female sex, "...when she deserves it."

The last scene is the best over all because it includes a spanking with an 18" ruler. Eve gets another bare-bottom spanking just as intense as the others and to top it off, Tony gives her 10 of the best with the ruler. Each cut of the ruler is delivered with moderate force and firmly across the center of Eve's bottom. Each one is also delivered almost exactly in the same place. At this point Eve appears to be very distraught and in very much pain. But, Tony says something about her bottom getting fatter and Eve immediately breaks character and starts laughing. It was disappointing. I was almost convinced that her responses were real and true, when in reality she had been acting all the time.

As I said this movie was shot in 1988 and now 12 years later T&E have gained a lot of experience in the art of producing spanking movies. "Poor Little Rich Girls" which I will review for you soon is a far better creation than this first attempt. Although it too has some draw backs with respect to realism.


Family Values: A Naughty Sister's Spanking

(Scarlett Hill Enterprises)
Spankings: M/F
Review by David H.

"Family Values: A Naughty Sister's Spanking!" - released by Scarlett Hill Enterprises 5 years ago, but still to be found at a very reasonable price on the company's web-site - deals with the subject of domestic discipline in a most fascinating way.

The domestic discipline-theme, involving a misbehaving young girl and an older male relative - for obvious reasons - is a classic within the spanking-genre. Naughty daughters and nieces (though portrayed by young grown-up actresses) have always been among the spanking-enthusiasts' favorite characters. However - in this video - the female spankee is a little sister, being disciplined by her older brother!

Little sister Alex - played by stunning brunette Alexis Taylor - leads a dangerous and immoral life as a topless dancer. Her strict upbringing has obviously failed to keep her on the right track, but her older brother Bill (played by the actor of the same name) is determined to put things right! He is shocked to learn about what his sister is doing for a living and finds that a good, old-fashioned spanking is called for!

The opening-scene shows Alex returning to her brother's house, after her evening-performance at the local nightclub. She is still wearing her audacious and very sexy outfit, which allows you a view to her virtually uncovered bottom as well as to her slightly covered breasts!

Alex has a fierce argument with her brother and teases him by turning her back to him and sticking out her gorgeous behind. This - of course - provokes Bill to give her a hard smack on the bottom, making her jump, turn around and rub the sore spot, before continuing the argument! The scene as a whole - and in particular the loud smack on the girl's bottom - serves as a stimulating appetizer to the action that you know will soon follow!

Alex is sent upstairs with another 2 or 3 smacks on her behind and is joined there by her brother. Bill sits down on a couch and grabs Alex by her arm, as she tries to leave the room! Swiftly, he places the girl over his knee and - after a brief lecture on bad behaviour - begins spanking her with his open hand! The smacks are delivered in a steady pace, allowing each and everyone of them to have the maximum effect, before being followed by the next one! Alex soon starts wriggling her bottom over her brother's lap, whilst maintaining her legs together and letting out bratty remarks and sounds of protest! Of course, this doesn't help her avoid her well-deserved punishment, which is documented by the camera from a variety of angles! Her beautiful behind bounces up and down and back and forth, unprotected as it is by her tiny outfit! Both of her round, extremely well-shaped buttocks are fully exposed and reddens slightly, during the scene! After a while, Alex' ordeal is over and she is sent to her room to think about her behaviour!

In her room, Alex dresses up as an average american highschool-student and your expectations rise, as you see her in a tightfitting white t-shirt, white ankle-socks and a short, loose skirt, with her brown hair in a pony-tail! In this outfit, Alex fulfils all your fantasies of a naughty young girl, about to go over a strict grown-up's knee! She briefly exposes the right side of her behind, as she rubs it with her hand, before sitting down on the bed! In a very 'girlish' manner, Alex hugs a pillow with a sulky look on her face - she really has the looks of a bad little girl!

Moments later, big brother Bill enters the room and sits down beside his little sister. A short conversation follows, during which Bill explains to Alex that when she behaves like a spoiled brat, she will have to be treated as a spoiled brat! And without hesitation, he soon after puts the girl firmly over his knee, again! In Bill's opinion - and in mine, as well! - the best way to administer a spanking is with the culprit over your lap, with her up-turned little bottom in the air! This way, Bill has complete control over his naughty sister and can concentrate solely on how to give the smacks the full effect on her behind!

Bill starts out by lifting his little sister's short skirt and leaving it at her waist - thus her bottom is exposed, with her tiny, white thong-panties offering it no real protection, whatsoever! Her brother places his open, right hand on her bottom and - once again - lectures her on her behaviour! Exercising his own version of 'compassionate conservatism', Bill goes on to smack Alex' bare bottom with his hand...Blow after blow makes the young, spoiled brat's cute little behind jiggle, accompanied by her loud protests! This is simply a good, old-fashioned over-the-knee spanking - and the impression, you get from the bratty look on Alex' pretty face, is that it is something that should have been done a long time ago! The camera mainly captures a total of the scene and you really have to congratulate Alexis Taylor on the way, in which she manages to keep her lovely, well-shaped bottom sticking up over Bill's lap, restricting the wriggling and jiggling to her bottom! In my view, this is a very important element in any spanking-scenario, as too much movement by the spankee tends to distort the action and reduce the pleasure for the viewer! Parts of the scene are shot from behind and gives you the satisfaction of seeing the girl's wriggling from a different perspective, with the moderate kicking of her legs as a bonus (oh, those white ankle-socks...)! A breathtaking spanking-scene!

What follows the spanking, completes the impression of a naughty girl, enduring old-fashioned domestic discipline...Alex is ordered to stand in the corner, facing the wall and - consequently - turning her back to the camera! She really looks like a bad little girl, as she places her hands on the short skirt, covering her well-spanked behind! And as she glances over her shoulder with a sorry, yet cheeky expression on her face, the pretty girl lifts up her loose skirt, rubbing her bare bottom with both hands!

Big brother Bill soon returns to the room and tells his little sister how silly she looks, standing to attention in the corner. Eventually, he orders Alex to sit next to him on the bed and begins trying to reason with her. He asks her, if she is prepared to make changes in her life - and perhaps go back to school! But, much to your surprise, her recent spanking hasn't brought about much change in Alex' attitude - she still talks and acts like a highschool-brat!

By now, Bill has had enough!

With the attitude and skills of an angry father or school-principal, he drags his naughty little sister over his knee, again!

Of course, the girl protests, but is soon left in no doubt that this will not save her from further punishment! Bill lifts up her skirt and Alex once again, reluctantly, has to present her bare behind for a good spanking! The tiny, white thong-panties - just like before - help emphasizing the exposure of the girl's bottom and seconds later, the first smack lands on it with the familiar, stimulating sound! Bill spanks her methodically and with a stern look on his face and Alex' behind bounces back and forth with every loud blow!

Bill manages to control his temper, throughout the scene, but clearly spanks his naughty sister as hard as he can! He is determined to get his message through! The smacks gradually succeed in bringing about a more suitable attitude - whilst initially having kept up her cheeky behaviour, Alex begins sobbing and crying like a naughty little girl! The camera focuses on her face for a while, but the sounds of the smacks are clearly heard and her crying doesn't make her brother stop spanking her, until several minutes later! HE decides when she has had enough, she doesn't!

Alex' bare bottom becomes increasingly red and sore, but the spanking continues and her wriggling and sobbing doesn't get her off the hook (or off Bill's lap, as it is!), until he finds that she has been properly disciplined!

Eventually, the tearful girl is allowed to get up and sit - no doubt uncomfortably! - on the bed, next to her strict older brother! She is given a Cleenex to wipe away her tears and blow her nose and - finally - she listens to reason and admits that she has behaved like a bad girl and deserved to be spanked!

Throughout this splendid production, Bill makes frequent references to his sister's naughtiness and disobedience, which - in my view - adds enormously to the authentic atmosphere of video! In combination with one of the most spankable bottoms in the business, fabulous costumes and truly superb hand-spanking, it makes "Family Values: A Naughty Sister's Spanking!" the best domestic discipline-video, I have yet come across!


A Paddling for Meechi

(California Star)
Spankings: F/F
Review by Eyore

This is for the person that requested a review for "A Paddling for Meechi" by California Star. This is a F/f flick with a small and very attractive Asian girl being punished by a tall slender blonde woman. I can honestly say that I LOVE the movie. A large part of it is due to nothing more than the appearance of Meechi, the small Asian girl.

The story in itself is nothing exceptional. Meechi, a troublesome teen, is sent by her guardian to a strict "home reform school", where she is fairly disciplined by the Headmistress. The poor girl doesn't know what she's in for. Although I personally don't think the spanking is one of the worst, I do really love how genuine it is. Meechi is taught not to wear panties and to keep her legs open at all times. Of course, the silly girl disobeys everything immediatly when the headmistress leaves the room and is preparing to run away, but gets caught before she does, though. Her bottom is once again bared, twice, because she didn't follow directions. She is hand spanked in multiple positions, one of which is standing facing the camera. I would have to honestly say that it is seldom that I see someone try to humiliate a girl like that in a video. After a not excessively hard, but very long spanking, she is let go to prepare for her continual education the next morning.

The next morning, she reports to the headmistress, who makes her work out on a weight bench, to which Meechi lacks the discipline to do, so she is once again spanked. Although the title implies that Meechi is paddled, I am very disappointed to say that she is NEVER paddled. She is given a pretty firm spanking with 2 different types of straps, though. One appears light and has split ends like a tawse. That one is not very appealing. The one that immediatly commands you attention, though, is the heavy leather one. It is shaped like a paddle, so I can see how they named the movie, but when Meechi gets spanked with it, you can tell it hurts. Throughout the movie, they have direct shots from behind, as well as side shots and facial reactions. They also seem to like to make it a point where you often get really good shots between her legs. Meechi cries REAL TEARS at certain points for those who like authenticity. All in all, a VERY worthwhile movie for those who want to see a very cute young Asian girl get her rear spanked. As a final note, despite how everything I have told you sounds, the movie is incredibly domestic. It is not a bdsm movie, it is real domestic discipline. Meechi wears a schoolgirl uniform through the whole thing and if you turned off the sound, you could still get the gist of the story. Anyhow, so there it is.


Beach Girl Spankings 3

(Raven Hill)
Spankings: M/F
Review by Ritch "DaChief" Flynn

Beach Girl Spankings 3 by Raven Hill Studios is the third installment of their popular "amateur" series. The
