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.

Six of the Best


‘Six of the Best’ is a 46-minute-long movie made by George Harrison-Marks about 1988.  It was released through Kane International (catalogue number 17) in the UK and by CalStar (ESC #14) in the US in 2004.  The movie was the subject of a photostory in issue number 41 of Kane Magazine.  This movie is currently available on several ‘video on demand’ site such as www.hotmovies.com.

The description on the back of the box reads:
"The girls of the Caning Club certainly earn every penny of their richly deserved high wages. As Kathy, on of the Club's barmaids told me as she caressed her cane welted behind, "well, we either deserve it, or we like it. And the wages are fabulous." She turned to Jay her partner. "That's right, isn't it Jay?" Jay, a well stacked gold ringed nippled beautiful blonde, grinned cheerfully at her friend and said, "yes, that's right.""

There seems to be some confusion about the name of this movie.  Several sources, including the spanking art wiki and a biography of George Harrison-Marks, give the title as “Five of the Best’ but the Kane International catalogue and the CalStar box art say ‘Six of the Best’.  CalStar often changed the titles of British movies that they released in the US but I will trust the Kane International catalogue and use ‘Six of the Best’.

The movie opens with a girl-on-girl scene that is classic GHM.  A large busted blonde (Jay) and a dark-haired woman (Cathy) in an empty bar start by comparing nipple rings but eventually Cathy shows Jay a photo spread she has done for a spanking magazine after which she begins to give Jay a hand spanking.  The spanking isn’t terribly hard and the Jay’s reaction is exaggerated.  The hand spanking continues until it is interrupted by the arrival of the bar manager at about the 8-minute mark of the movie.  The two women return to work and after they briefly complain that ‘they have to go along with their customer’s fantasies’. 

The next scene opens with the bar full of customers.  Soon the attention is focused on one man (Sir Larry, the alter ego of GHM's frequent collaborator Larry Barnes) at the bar who is telling two friends (Eris and Sir William) that he has invited a new member to join the club.  He asks Jay for drinks but she tells him that she is on her break.  He can’t accept this and, after reminding her that there are penalties for displeasing the members of the club, he calls her out from behind the bar and takes her over his knee for another hand spanking, which seems to attract very little attention from the other bar patrons.

After nearly 3 minutes Sir Larry is interrupted by Cathy who tells him that the spanking has gone on long enough.  Obviously, Sir Larry is not going to accept this impertinence so he tells Cathy to come out from behind the bar and to bring the cane with her.  Sir Larry tells her to bend over the stool and he invites new member Eric to give her a caning.  Her caning is six hard strokes that produce a strong reaction and raise very prominent welts.  He calls for drinks all around when the caning is finished but the bar manager walks in before they are served.

The manager loudly reminds everyone that no employee is to be punished without the permission of the management and he singles out Sir William who just happened to be holding the cane when she walked in, for particular attention.  He makes very little effort to explain the misunderstanding and soon he is bent over the stool for six strokes administered by the manager.

Immediately after the caning is over, Cathy tells the manager that there is a man at the door.  The man (Nigel Appleby) turns out to be the new member who was invited by Sir Larry.  He enters and the four men move to a private sitting area to talk but soon a traffic warden enters looking for the new arrival.  Nigel is indignant when she tells him that she is going at arrest him for a parking offense and soon Sir Larry intervenes on his side.  Sir Larry and Eric start to undress her.  Nigel, a magistrate is apoplectic at these events but, once Sir Larry and Eric have her completely naked, the bar breaks out into a chorus of ‘Happy Birthday’ for Nigel since the whole event has been an initiation prank.  His birthday present turns out to be the opportunity to spank the traffic warden which he does and the whole bar is soon involved.  

Soon, another traffic warden arrives and the bar patrons very quickly have her undressed too and her spanking begins immediately with everyone taking part.  I’ll leave you to guess how this scene ends.

I really enjoy this movie, in large part because of its novelty; it’s very different than a typical spanking movie.  the quality of the print isn’t the best (I have the CalStar version) and it appears that the VHS tape had started to deteriorate before it was digitized.  Some day I hope I can find a better copy.

  2. Thanks for posting this as it helped me identify an untitled clip. The last 8 min of "Six of the Best" is on SpankBang (https://spankbang.com/5cqqh/video/cop+spanking) under the title "cop spanked". I'd like to know who played the traffic warden (is it Anne Proto?). At first I thought this was a remake of GHM's first video, Warden's End.
