I love British spanking movies of the eighties and nineties and I've spent the last few years delving into their history. I started this blog to share my interest and what I've learned about it.

Can you help me find a movie? I have been able to finding a few of the Kane I've been searching for with the help of two readers but there are still several others that I'm trying to find. These include Take Three Girls, The French Maid (aka The French Maid's Flogging), Stripe Me Pink, Housewives Choice and The Real Business. Please leave a comment if you know where I might be able to find any of these.

Two More Videos from Uncle Bob's Woodshed


This is my third post on Uncle Bob’s Woodshed.  My first was about 4 videos featuring Ten Amorette that appeared on clips4sale in September 2011 and the second from last January was about five videos that appeared on clips4sale between September and November 2013 along with three older videos from 2010 through 2012 with Kat St James and Sarah Gregory.  To summarize, I really liked the Ten Amorette videos and I go back to them quite often.  I also liked the three Kat St James and Sarah Gregory videos but I wasn’t impressed with the five more recent efforts since I thought the technical quality was unacceptably poor.  I decided to give Uncle Bob another chance and I recently downloaded two videos that were posted in originally posted in March of this year (2014).  They are called “Erica Scott Losses a Bet” and “Sweet Revenge featuring Erica Scott”.

‘Erica Scott’ is a name that I recognize even though I’m not familiar with her work, which is an oversight that I will have to correct.  Since watching these two videos I have found that she has a blog (http://ericascottlls.blogspot.ca/) that I’ve begun to follow and, like Niki Flynn, she has written an autobiography which I want to read.  And I haven’t forgotten that I was going to write a post on Niki Flynn’s autobiography, maybe I can cover them both at the same time. 

“Sweet Revenge” begins with a couple in a hotel hallway arguing about the wife flirting at a party.  The scene isn’t really convincing but it suffices to set up the video.  They argument continues after they enter the room and soon Uncle Bob pulls Erica Scott over his knee for a hand spanking,  This spanking last about 5-1/2 minutes and it makes up the majority of the video.  The problem with the scene is that the chair he sits on is located between the bed and a desk in the hotel room and this severely limits the possible camera angles.Most of the video is shot from behind with only a short unsuccessful attempt at a face shot late in the spanking which fails due to both the camera angle and the lighting.  This is a case where a little more time spent planning before turning on the camera would have resulted in a much better product.   

After the hand spanking, Uncle Bob has Erica leans on the desk and he finishes the session with his belt in a scene that lasts about 90 seconds.  The video is filmed with a handheld camera and technical quality is acceptable.  The premise is fine and I liked Ms Scott but Uncle Bob, who is always the top is his videos, isn’t really an actor and that shows in the introductory scene in the hallway.  But, the layout of the hotel room proves to be a handicap that the video simply can’t overcome.  The whole video runs just under 9 minutes.  Overall,  I was disappointed with “Sweet Revenge” because it could easily have been a much better video.


The premise of “Erica Scott Losses a Bet” is given in the title so this video avoids an awkward opening scene.  It opens in black-and-white (which I liked) with Erica lying on the bed and Uncle Bob approaching her as he takes off his belt. 
The scene fades into color as he begins the spanking.

I liked “Erica Scott Losses a Bet” when I first watched it but I noticed something the second time I watched it.  Bob flubs a line about 3:20 into the video and then he flubs another at the 7:25 mark (as I said above, he’s not an actor) but what I noticed on my second viewing was that it was the same line both times.  After that, I went through the video and noted the times of various lines of dialogue and other events and it turns out that about 4 minutes of action is repeated.  They haven’t even bothered to rearrange scenes; they just repeated the scenes in the same order shot from another camera.  I know that all videos and movies are edited but maintaining the illusion is essential and the audience will be lost if the illusion is broken.  That is exactly what happened once I recognized the duplication; my entire opinion of the video changed.

“Erica Scott Losses a Bet” is 11 minutes long but that includes the 4 minutes of duplicated material.  The technical quality is generally good but there is a strange change in hue in some of the scenes.

My two previous reviews of Uncle Bob’s work were mixed.  I liked the first videos I watched but I was disappointed with the quality of some later videos.  The technical quality of these two videos is better but the both suffer from serious flaws.  Uncle Bob has posted several videos on clips4slae since these two but I haven’t watched any of them and I don’t know if I will.

Five Videos from Whipping-Films.com

UPDATE (May 2020 & January 2021): The whipping-films.com website and the Clips4Sale studio are gone but the videos can still be found if you search the web.  One place to look is:

http://spanking-board.com/index.php?topic=7318.0

I have created a filmography and links to some of the movies are included.


A couple of months ago I read a post on the “Bring Out the GIMP” site about a series of videos from Whipping-Films.com.  They sounded interesting so I tracked down the site and watched a few of their videos.   I’ve started with a video from their ‘100 Strokes of the Lash’ series (the subject of the post I had read) and then moved on to videos from the ‘Introduction to the Whip’ series, the ‘Whip Dance’ series and the ‘Garage Whipped’ series.  I have mixed feelings about these videos, I’ve really liked some but I’ve been very disappointed with others.


100 Strokes of the Lash

The review I had originally read was about the video “100 Strokes of the Lash – Amanda” and it was the first Whpping-Films.com video that I watched.  The concept is simple; Amanda comes down stairs and undresses to her panties and bra.  She is bound ‘spread eagle’ then her bra and panties are cut off after which she is given 100 lashes with a whip.  The whipping is severe but not brutal; I find I turn against a video if the punishments are overly severe (which is why I’m not a fan of Mood Pictures movies) but this whipping stops just short of that.

 Amanda is certainly attractive and I generally liked this movie despite the fact that there is no dialogue, the set is primitive and the technical quality is sub-standard.   The biggest disappointment was that she only partially undressed herself and then the rest of her clothes were cut off.  I would much rather have seen her completely undress herself or failing that, see her completely stripped by the man in the scene but half-and-half just didn’t work.   This video is just over 11 minutes long but given the very simple concept, that is long enough.

Garage Whippings

Another video I watched was “Alex Reynolds – Garage Whipped” and this video has a little more to it than “100 Strokes of the Lash – Amanda”.  I’ve seen Alex on other websites but I don’t recall her looking as cute and cuddly as she does in this video (and no tattoos).   The video begins with her completely nude, her arms are bound over her head and her feet also appear to be bound (but this is never actually shown).  The action starts with a flogger but it quickly moves on to the whip, although a little duct tape does also feature in some of the action.  

“Alex Reynolds – Garage Whipped” is about 16 minutes long.  The major difference between this video and the previous one is the interaction between Alex and an unnamed male character and that interaction is why I like this video more than the previous one.  The bargain basement (literally) set and the low budget technical work are drawbacks but they didn’t spoil the video for me.  

Whip Dance

The “Whipdance - Sarah's Return” has many similarities to “Alex Reynolds – Garage Whipped”.  Sarah has made several previous videos for this company (which I haven’t seen).  She is a good looking woman, with a few too many tattoos for my taste, and a little feisty.  In this video, her are arms are bound over her head, just like Alex, but the difference seems to be that Sarah’s feet are free so she has a greater range of movement.   This video features 2 different floggers, a paddle, a cane, a leather strap, a riding crop, and several different whips.  
  
“Whipdance - Sarah's Return” is about 20 minutes long and, as with the others, the whipping is severe but stops just short of being brutal.  This video certainly benefits from her ability to move around and, again, I like the interaction between Sarah and the man although the sound quality sometimes makes it difficult to hear and I wish her mouth wasn’t covered by duct tape for so much of the video.  

Introduction to the Whip

My favorite among the Whpping-Films.com videos that I’ve watched is “Layla Lynn – Introduction to the Whip”.  Layla is certainly cute (although she has a few too many tattoos for my taste) and she’s feisty (where does this company find its models). She’s the kind of a girl who can swear and scream during a series of hard lashes and then give us a bright smile in a break.  That kind of attitude really turns me on and, for me, the lip and glare she gives her tormentor just before the final series of lashes is worth the price of the video.  

This video is 13 minutes long but I would have liked more, although the whipping would have become too severe for my tastes if it had gone on much longer.  This is supposedly Layla’s first whipping; I am skeptical about that but I might believe that it’s her first whipping video. Unfortunately, it does is the only video she has made for this company.  Maybe someday she will return for a ‘Whipdance’ movie which is something I would certainly like to see.

I also watched “Kat’s Introduction to the Whip” but I wasn’t impressed by this 14-minute long video.  It is very similar to Layla’s video but Kat just doesn’t have the same personality and this movie really suffers from the low technical standards (poor sound, bad camera angles and lighting, bargain basement set, etc).

I liked 4 of these 5 videos and in each case it was because of both the physical attractiveness and the personality of female character.  Where does this company find its models?  I will probably go back to Whpping-Films.com for more but I will certainly be cautious about my choices.  I hope this company will continue making videos (it seems to have been almost a year since their last release) but I also hope they can improve their technical quality.

Spirit of Emotion


Spirit of Emotion
History of Torture #7
Erosmedia, 2003

 
I read a posting the Erosmedia video “Spirit of Emotion” while I was browsing the web and I was able to track down a copy.  I haven’t been able to find out much about the production company (Erosmedia) but I understand that it is a German company that has made about 30 videos under the “History Torture” banner.  “Spirit of Emotion” in number 7 in that series.  It stars Valeska Deseria and Simona Sun and it was made about 2003.  Based on the number of hits on Google it seems that it may have been one of the company’s most popular videos.  I was able to obtain a copy from one of several distributors that carry it.  

The video opens with Valeska Deseria (in a very shear negligee) exploring a dungeon alone and obviously very interested in what she is finding.  She is trying out some the implements when she is interrupted by the arrival of the dungeon master with a blonde prisoner (or maybe it’s just part of her fantasy, it works either way).  The dungeon master has his prisoner wait while he turns his attention to the intruder.  He shackles her arms to an overhead beam, undresses her and begins to abuse her with a leather flogger.  In time her turns his attention back to his prisoner and she receives similar treatment but he eventually gives the flogger to our heroine and they take turns tormenting the prisoner with a flogger and a birch.

 

After this lengthy scene, the dungeon master turns his attention back to the intruder; she is bound with rope and the dungeon master and blonde prisoner takes turns beat her with a variety of implements.  This sets the pattern for the remainder of the video.  Each of the women is alternately subjected to a variety of torments by the dungeon master while the other either sits and watches or assists the dungeon master.   Their torments include a variety of whips, floggers and crops, hot wax, needles, clothes pegs and both spend some time sitting on the horse; a favorite of mine which partially compensated for the rather disappointing birchings.  


I liked this video and I have watched it several times.  It is video is really a full length movie since it  
runs 1:48 and it is more erotic (both women frequently sound like they are on the verge of organism during their torments) than BDSM (the punishments are quite restrained).  There is no dialog but there is background music that is appropriate to the scene but I do have two complaints.  First, the lighting is very dark.  Adjusting the brightness and contrast helps but it can’t replace what was never there in the first place.  Second the ending is very abrupt and the story stops without really finishing.   Despite this, I have no doubt that I will be watching this video again in the future.

I’ve had the opportunity to watch three other Erosmedia History of Torture videos since I first saw “Spirit of Emotion” and none were as good as my first.  The real problem is that they are all the same – there are different victims and the torments are in different orders but there is never anything new.  “Spirit of Emotion” remains a favorite but I’m not planning to buy any other videos in this series.

The Exchange Student


Lupus Pictures (2004)
may still be available from www.rge-films.com


In my last post, which was over 2 months ago, I wrote that I was reading Niki Flynn’s autobiography “Dances with Werewolves”.  I had certainly heard about Ms Flynn and, because of movie titles like ‘An American Brat in London’ and ‘Exchange Student’ I had always assumed that Niki Flynn was an established American spanking model also worked in Europe but I had watch very few of her movies over the years so I didn’t know much about her work. I decided that I would watch as many of the movies she wrote about in her book as I could.  I didn’t realize that the 2004 Lupus movie ‘Exchange Student’ was actually her first movie until I read her book. Fortunately, the RGE/Lupus website was resurrected for a few weeks (although it seems that it is still alive as of mid-March) just as I was reading Ms Flynn’s book so I was able to download several of her RGE movies.

In this movie, Ms Flynn plays an English speaking exchange student in a Czech school who is sent to the Headmaster following a fight with another student.  She arrives at the Headmasters office while the secretary is away so she goes directly in and gives the Headmaster a note from her teacher.  There is some misunderstanding due to language but he orders her to undress completely and bend over the desk.  He begins her caning and she tries to stand after 6 strokes.  He stops her and tells her she will receive 25 strokes of the cane.  She objects throughout but he insists that this is the Czech tradition.  After the caning is finished he tells her to stand in the corner and he leaves the office.

After a few minutes the Assistant Headmistress enters the office to administer the punishment.  He rejects the girl’s claims that she has already been punished and she administers 6 strokes for the fight and another six strokes for lying about the previous punishment.   The Secretary returns just after the completion of the punishment and she has a cup for the insurance salesman who is supposed to be waiting in the office.  The Assistant Headmistress finally understands what has happened and she starts to inquire about the reasons for the fight.  She learns that two notorious troublemakers (played by Denisa Petrakova and Eva Sulistova) have been harassing the exchange student and she decides to take appropriate action.  

Both of the trouble makers are called to the office and each receive forty strokes of the cane.  Then the Assistant Headmistress has the girls apologize for their actions and she then begins to lecture the girls on the importance of making peace since, it turns out, this scene is set during the 1937 Munich Conference that lead to the partition of Czechoslovakia.  I suspect that the final scenes of World War II are intended as an indication of the success of the Assistant Headmistress’ peacemaking efforts.

‘Exchange Student’ is set in a school but it is not part of the Headmaster series but I suspect that it was intended to be since, in her book, Ms Flynn writes that Pavel Stasny was originally intended to plat the Headmaster and Alexandra Wollf (the Assistant Headmistress) was a later substitution.  This movie is certainly worth seeing but I don’t think it will ever become one of my favorites and I think the reason for that also explains why I wasn’t interested in seeing this movie until I read Ms Flynn’s book; school girl fantasies have never been a significant part of my fetish.

College Classics 2


 
Update January & June 2023:  A reader has identified the actress who plays 'Elizabeth Jenkins' as 'Penny Lloyd-Fox'.  She appeared in 3 movies for Ben Dover and was a model for photostories in issues 71 and 72 (the last two issues) of Roue magazine.  A screencap of one picture of Penny Lloyd-Fox from Roue 72 is shown below (on the right) for comparison with a screen cap from 'College Classics 2' on the left.

I’ve just started reading Niki Flynn’s autobiography “Dances with Werewolves” and I’m really enjoying it so far.  Since the RGE/Lupus website has reopened for a month, I decided that I would watch the movies she writes about in her book.  The first one she mentions is “College Classics 2” which I had heard about but I had never seen.

“College Classics 2” was filmed on a British Territorial Army base by Tallion Video in 1986 (see tweet pasted at bottom).  My copy is a download from the ‘Total Spanking’ website and I’m not sure it is a complete copy.  At a minimum, the original credits have been removed I don’t know the screen names of any of the performers (although I wish I did).   The movie consists of two segments; the first is 25 minutes long and the second is 28 minutes.  Ms Flynn talks about the first segment of this movie early in her book and I can understand why it stands out in her memory.  Unfortunately, I didn’t like the second segment nearly as much as the first.

In the first segment, a woman, Elizabeth Jenkins, returns her old school to talk to the Headmaster about her younger sister who is about to be expelled.  The Headmaster tells Ms Jenkins that school policies have changed since she graduated and he now has no alternative but expulsion.  They begin to reminisce about punishments in Ms Jenkins’ day. Eventually, Ms Jenkins proposes that the Headmaster punish her in her sister’s place and she will take responsibility for disciplining her sister.  The Headmaster leaves the room for a moment and Ms Jenkins changes into her old school uniform.   When he returns, he begins the punishment by having her bend over the desk for a hand spanking.  Next, she has to bend over a chair and her punishment continues with a leather strap.  Afterward this, he has her standing facing the wall, and two canes leaning against the wall, while he smokes his pipe.    When he is finished he calls her over to his desk and has her stand with her hands touching her toes.  He lifts her skirt and lowers her panties and then begins her caning.  The caning is 12 strokes and he has her count them but the ninth stroke is missing in my copy of the movie.  After a particularly hard twelfth strokes she jumps up and calls him a bastard so he grabs her and bends her over the desk again.  But nothing happens so I wonder if another scene may have been cut out of my copy at this point.  The segment ends with Ms Jenkins promising to pass the punishment along to her sister then she leaves the school and drives away.

I was hoping that the second segment might continue with the story of the sister but no such luck.  Instead it starts with another girl being sent to the Nurse’s Office after she injures her leg during a phys ed class.  She decides to have a cigarette while she waits for the nurse and, of course, the nurse catches her smoking.  After an examination, the nurse also concludes that the girl is faking an injury just to get out of gym class.  A long list of other infractions (this eventually becomes rather tiresome) follow and they all call for punishment.  The nurse begins the punishment with an OTK hand spanking which is followed by the tawse, a leather strap and, of course, the cane.

The technical quality in both segments is acceptable (and it was probably quite good in its day).   The performances are adequate if a little wooden and the story lines are simplistic although the first is at least one that I haven’t seen too often even if it is a little ‘far-fetched’.   I also suspect that the version I downloaded from “Total Spanking” may be missing a couple of scenes.  Despite all this, I did like the first segment and it is one that I will definitely watch again.

The version I watched was missing the original credits and I haven’t been able to find the screen name of the actress (pictured) who plays Elizabeth Jenkins in the first segment.  I would like to know if she ever made any other movies - although a couple of her reactions make me suspect this may have been her first, and possibly only movie.  Please leave a comment if you can provide any information.

Uncle Bob's Woodshed, Take 2
