A sound example of early BD/Gonzo style
knightout3 February 2002
If you're looking to build up a collection of Ben Dover films, this is a reasonable one to start with as it includes some of the earliest documentary-style footage recorded, with the action offset against typically amusing and light-hearted banter from Ben and his cohorts.

It's easy to deconstruct the Gonzo genre as simplistic, repetitive and ultimately a deliberate artifical construct which could engender an altogether incorrect perception of heterosexual female mentality, and yes there is an argument that this is socially dangerous, should it be viewed by someone lacking the intelligence to understand.

However, in the earlier BD projects, there is a genuinely spontaneous feel to it, and indeed many of the scenes in those days were 'real' pickups, which give the scenes a real edge.

One Day, Steve Perry may be deservedly recognised for his talents - but I suspect the film and TV industry as a whole - BD included - will have to move on from the rigid mainstream/porn and gay/straight divisions before this can happen.
