Lady Vernon's Caning Heaven and Lady Vernon Strikes Again

Available from several 'video-on-demand' sites.  Most of the screenshots in this review are from “Lady Vernon’s Caning Heaven Part II” but the last is from “Lady Vernon Strikes Again”.

I have ignored this poor little blog for far too long due to a combination of far too much travel and a shortage of new material.  The travel continues but I hope I can squeeze in a couple of new posts over the next few weeks.

A little over a year ago I was able to obtain a copy of an older movie called “Lady Vernon’s Caning Heaven Part II” that I quite enjoyed and I started a quest to find the rest of that series.  It didn’t take too long to obtain a copy of what I believe is the final movie in the series ("Lady Vernon Strikes Again") but I had less success in finding the first part.  Eventually, I was able to find “Lady Vernon’s Caning Heaven Part I” on a ‘video-on-demand’ site but after watching it once I had no interest in ever seeing it again.

All three Lady Vernon movies were made by Spanking for Pleasure in the UK and distributed by CalStar in the US.  There are no credits or copyright dates on the versions of the movies that I’ve seen.  Some sources on the web say that “Lady Vernon’s Caning Heaven Part I” was made in 1999, Part II was made in 2000 and “Lady Vernon Strikes Again” was made in 2002.  I can’t confirm those dates but, from the locations and Lady Vernon’s hair I suspect that Lady Vernon’s Caning Heaven Parts I and II were made at about the same and Lady Vernon Strikes again was made later.

“Lady Vernon’s Caning Heaven Part I” begins with two students, a blonde and a brunette, from a local boarding school stealing apples from Lady Vernon’s orchard.  She catches them and decides to make an example of them.  She starts by giving the blonde an OTK hand spanking and, after the girl undresses, this is followed by the strap and then the cane.  The brunette is next but her caning ends after only 2 strokes; I assume that the model refused to continue.  After this the action suddenly jumps to the boarding school where the headmaster is giving another student, a different brunette, an OTK hand spanking and a caning.  This final scene was obviously added to fill the hour and, even worse, it looks like it was added to fill the time.  The result is a very unsatisfying ending to what began as a good movie.  I only saw this movie once and I have no desire to see it again.

“Lady Vernon’s Caning Heaven Part II” begins with the local headmaster trying, unsuccessfully, to discipline two students, both blondes.  He remembers Lady Vernon’s treatment of the two earlier students and he decides to retain her services for these two.  The Headmaster drives the two students to Lady Vernon’s where one is told to wait while the other is taken into Lady Vernon’s solarium.  Her punishment begins with an OTK hand spanking that begins over her pants and proceeds through pants down to bare bottom.  This is followed by a selection of paddles, the first administered on her bare bottom then she has to undress completely for the others.  Her punishment ends with the cane.  The first half of this movie includes three scenes of the second student waiting for her punishment, notable mostly for their dreadful overacting, and three scenes filmed from outside looking into the solarium through the windows.  These were an interesting attempt at a different perspective but they are marred by reflections in the window and poor sound.  The second half of Part II follows exactly the same pattern as the first half but it is noticeably more rushed, from the length of the shadows in the final scenes I suspect that they were running out of daylight, and I found it less interesting.

“Lady Vernon Strikes Again” was obviously filmed later (or maybe earlier but I doubt it).  Lady Vernon has longer hair and the setting is much less elegant than the solarium of the first two movies, actually it quite tacky with a garish color scheme.  The movie begins with a young policewoman deciding that a session with Lady Vernon is the ideal approach to deal with an repeat offender.  With the Constables assistance, Lady Vernon delivers a long OTK hand spanking followed by a bare bottom session with a tawse and strap.  Finally, the prisoner has to strip and she receives about 30 strokes of the cane of the cane.  When the caning is finished, Lady Vernon calls the police station to report her work is done but she finds out that the Constable’s actions had not been approved so she will not be paid.  She decides to deal with the errant Constable in the same way she had dealt with the prisoner.  The second act follows the same pattern as the first but the woman playing the Constable is a more interesting bottom.

Caning Heaven Part II (and the first half in particular) is likely to become one of my favorite movies.  The outdoor shots were an interesting touch that didn’t quite work but it was worth the try.  I liked Part I until the abrupt end of the second caning but the filler at the end killed the movie for me.  Lady Vernon Strikes Again is not the equal of Part II but it has its moments.  I have a weakness for movies that turn a dominant character into the bottom so I liked the scene with the policewoman even though I don’t think it’s any better than an average CP session.

The versions of the movies that I have do not include credits so I can’t identify any of the cast aside from Michael Dawes as the Headmaster.  One source I read (Ludwig’s Rohrstock-Palast blog) identified Lady Vernon as a British porn actress known as ‘Stephanie’.  I can’t confirm that but a photo of Stephanie on the British Girls Adult Film Database (BGAFD) looks like she could be Lady Vernon.  Ludwig reports that Stephanie has also worked as a bottom for Sting in the Tail Productions but I can’t confirm that since I haven't seen the movie in question.
