Wet and Wild RAGIN' RAPIDS!

By Diesel
The opening animated menu (with cartoonish cut-outs of a raft floating by while actresses loom in the foreground) to SHANE'S WORLD 20: RAGIN' RAPIDS is an inspired bit of fun and whimsy, much like the actual film itself. Following in the footsteps of her "mentor" Seymore Butts, Shane has created a successful series full of sexy bodies and hot sex. This edition has a breezy, MTV-on-the-road feel to it, which might be a little hard for the VH-1 crowd to relate, but would please any other post-high school kid who lives out their Spring Break fantasies to the fullest. Since I am a wee bit older than all of the people in this video, who are clearly having "more fun than humans should be allowed to have," I could only sit back and sigh in frustrated envy as I watched these young whipper-snappers indulge in carnal excess.

Unfortunately, as enjoyable as this flick is, there is something, or should I say someone, missing from this series and that's Shane herself. Although she is credited as director, and appears in the opening logo sequence which kicks off each video, her presence here is sorely missed. That isn't to say that the on-camera actresses and actors aren't good at keeping us sexually entertained, but Shane also brought an energy and sense of fun and adventure to every one of her movies. I find it regrettable that we have an edition of SHANE'S WORLD without the self-titled performer ever appearing on-screen.

But, in any event, there are several excellent sex scenes spread throughout the outdoor adventures of the Shane gang. There is a spontaneous feel to all the action, especially when Cheyne and auburn-haired Blair Segal have sex at night with only the moonlight, a lantern and the camera lights to illuminate their private moments. Sure, these people are all actors (as in porn performers, and not the Shakespearean type), but all the casual outdoor blowjobs and fucking lend a realistic feeling to the sex. You almost feel like a voyeuristic pervert as you watch Chennin give a shore side hummer to Cheyne, or when Billy Glide and Rain-ahh (what a name!) are doing by a waterfall. I did find some of the condoms and lack of facials to be a disappointment, but you can't deny the sense of fun which is being displayed on-screen. In fact, even the non-sex scenes have an element of satirical fun to them. There is a distinctively JFK-ish soundtrack which plays during the ragin' rapids scene (for those not familiar on film scores, it's that constant percussion beat with piano bass accents often heard in so many mainstream movie trailers, if you know, or even care to know, what I mean). Video auteurs like John Stagliano and Seymore Butts have mastered the gonzo concept to such a high standard, that all other directors pale in comparison, but the director does great work here.

Which actually begs the question...is Shane really behind the camera here? As noted previously, she is credited as the director, but she doesn't say a word during the whole movie. This is unusual because during the earlier volumes of SHANE'S WORLD, and during her appearances in Seymore Butts Home Movies, she was never one not to talk (or laugh, or moan, or groan, or scream in orgasmic bliss) from behind or in front of the camera. I wonder whether Shane is really close at hand and on location during most of these scenes, because although her presence is felt, it's not clearly shown. Whatever legal wranglings there are between Shane and the copyright to SHANE'S WORLD, I hope get resolved soon. There is so much great sex that deserves to be transferred to DVD found in the first eighteen volumes of this terrific series.

The extras on this disc are top-notch: besides some bonus footage, audio commentary from a couple of the performers, trailers and previews, Odyssey has thoughtfully given us a picture of the complete cast with labels, which is damn convenient and immensely helpful to reviewers such as yours truly. The accompanying biographical information and ability to jump to their individual scenes are features which should be mandatory on all porn DVDs. The extra scenes are okay; some are clearly meant as a joke, such as "The Happy Prostitute" section which looks like it could have been part of a Howard Stern parody.

Video and audio quality are excellent. The outdoor night scenes, which should otherwise be impossible to capture on video, are pretty crisp and clear on DVD, and lends atmosphere to the sexual proceedings. The gonzo-ish videography is some of the best directed I have ever seen, and the camera never fails to catch all the action at its fullest.

RAGIN' RAPIDS is a Shane movie without Shane, which would otherwise disappoint had it not been for this superb presentation on DVD. I can definitely recommend this one.

Oh, What A Wonderful World

By Spooky
If only Ned Beatty had chosen to go on this down-the-river trip instead of that other one, he would be a much happier person today! Shane's World 20: Ragin' Rapids (which doesn't feature the lovely Shane anymore, for those of you unaware) takes a group of the youngest, most adventurous men and women in porn and sends them south of the border for a white water adventure that results in them all making it back alive, although I don't think their river guide wants to see these guys again any time soon.

This was the very first Shane's World title that I have watched, and I have to admit, I have really been depriving myself of some fun. It's nice to see people in the adult industry just grabbing a hand-held camera and having some fun, and the sex, while I'm sure set-up to some degree, doesn't come off as staged or rehearsed.

The title opens with perhaps the best scene in the movie, an all out orgy with almost the entire cast joining in (I can't remember seeing Chennin Blanc in the action, but there was so much going on, I could have missed her). I don't know about the rest of you, but this never happens to me when I go on a trip with a bunch of buddies...I guess I need to start hanging out with some new people.

The group finally gets to their destination, and opens the festivities with some white water rafting. I was just waiting for these sex-obsessed goofballs to capsize, but they were able to maintain control of their raft and get to their destination unharmed, although physically exhausted (Cheyne Collins points out that it was much more tiring than sex!).

Later that night, Cheyne apparently has his stamina back as he makes out with cute little redhead Blair Segal. Meanwhile, Billy Glide gets a double blowjob from Shelby Star and Salena Del Ray before taking Salena alone back to his tent to finish off. Both scenes are filmed as if you had accidentally run across a buddy's home video and while this does result in a little camera shaking and sometimes poor lighting, the gonzo style adds to the realism of the sex and thus makes it more erotic to watch.

The next day, Cheyne finds himself in the raft with Chennin, while Billy has a very hot scene with Rain-ahh, which is the final sex scene in the movie. I thought Chennin and Cheyne's segment in the raft was the least appealing bit in the movie, but the sex between Billy and Rain-ahh was so exciting, I can't wait to see the petite little brunette in action again (and just to confirm, I'm not talking about Billy!).

Finally, it's back in the raft for the journey home...one in which they almost kill their river guide (actually, it's not nearly that tense, but the filmmakers want you to think that way).

There are a ton of features on this DVD, including a commentary track by the producer, and another separate commentary by Billy and Salena. There are a number of previews, including a look at Shane's World 25 (coming soon to DVD, I hope!), as well as cast biographies and a bonus scene. The video and audio are also nicely done, especially considering the gonzo, hand-held camera nature of the production.


Product Information

Synopsis:

Team Shane's World hit the rapids in search of extreme adventure. After a long day of river rafting everyone was pretty horny. As soon as Blair pitched her tent, she sent out to pitch Shawn's. It didn't take much convincing before Shawn was banging away on Blair's pussy. Her screams and moans must have really got to Billy because before long he had Salena bent over in the tent.

The next morning it was back on the river, but not before Shawn could get in some action on the raft. He was putting Chennin into positions you know she had been dreaming about yesterday! By the time we stopped at the waterfall for lunch, shy little Rain-ahh knew that if she wanted any action on this trip she better speak up. She dove on to Billy's cock and then took such a hard pounding form him that she squirted. Everybody got wet on this trip!
